The moon (Luna, Chandra, Soma) is NOT what we have been (mis-)led to believe (Gaia) Premiered March 14, 2025: #Gaia #moon #extraterrestrial
8,000+ films, shows, classes on Gaia.com. Start a free trial: cs-link.gaia.com/3XMgbEQ. Inside information concerning earth's moon is revealed by David Adair, who worked to develop technology for secret American programs.
He explains that the moon is not what many of us have been led to believe. It is in fact a hollow vessel [much like the earth and at least one other planet in this solar system] that was transported to our planet eons ago.
The denizens of this not-so-natural (but quite artificial and apparently indestructible, perfectly spherical) satellite have not been pleased with humanity's forays onto the lunar surface. Adair reveals inside information concerning the moon as an artificial body brought here by an ancient E.T. civilization and why it is important that they do not take their moon away.

Now, if I could just figure out a way to get rid of this darn wire (actor portraying Bell in 1926)

This day in history
My cellphone has an app to make voice calls
(UPI) Today is March 7th. On this date in history:
In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell was granted a patent for the telephone.
[Bell may not have invented all of the components of the phone or even be the one who came up with the idea, but he is the one who gets all the credit for being the first to get a patent for a two-way transmitter-receiver that now rules our lives due to corporations like Apple and its line of iPhones. Who invented the radio? An Italian man named Gugli' Marconi. got the patent, so we say it was him. Who invented flying? Not the Wright brothers, but they get the glory. How about natural selection and the theory of evolution? If anyone answers Charles Darwin, meet Alfred Russel Wallace.]
In 1945, the U.S. 1st Army crossed the Rhine at Remagen, Germany after capturing the strategically important Ludendorff Bridge (also known as the Bridge at Remagen). World War II in Europe ended two months later.
In 1965, hundreds of civil rights marchers trying to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, USA, were turned back by state troopers and sheriff's deputies, who beat and injured dozens of people in what became known as "Bloody Sunday." Marchers voluntarily turned around on a ceremonial walk to the bridge two days later and, on March 21, with protection by federal and National Guard troops, the main Selma-to-Montgomery march began.
In 1984, the U.S. Senate confirmed William Wilson as the first U.S. ambassador to the Vatican [the independent country called the Holy See in the center of Rome, the capital of the current Holy Roman Empire known as the worldwide Catholic Church] in 117 years.
In 1985, "We Are the World," a song composed by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie and recorded by a series of high-profile music stars was released worldwide with the goal of generating funds for the USA for Africa charity. The song and related promotions eventually raised about $63 million.
In 2010, Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to win an Academy Award for best director for her film The Hurt Locker.
There, that hole right there. It's tiny from here but enormous when standing on the surface.
Scientists have long suspected the moon may harbor tunnels, caves, and dark labyrinths. They now have proof that at least one exists. In 2010, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, a satellite orbiting the moon, captured imagery of an intriguing "skylight" pit on the moon's surface, in the same region where the Apollo 11 astronauts allegedly landed.
It was not known if this was part of greater caverns, but planetary scientists have reanalyzed the spacecraft's observations and determined it is indeed a cave.
And elsewhere on the moon, there could be many more. "We're just seeing the tip of the iceberg," Wes Patterson, a planetary scientist at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, who coauthored the new research in Nature Astronomy, told Mashable.
Different pits observed by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter: The middle pit in the top row, labeled for the region "Mare Tranquillitatis," leads to the recently identified cave (Mashable).
.
These caverns are most likely [synthetic, created by some intelligent life form holding captive those inside the hollow core where earthlings are forced to work or submit to exams, but since that's crazy talk and not allowed by gatekeepers, it must be natural, like maybe] a lava tube, a geologic phenomenon created by volcanic eruptions [from all those volcanoes we see on the surface, billowing smoke into the smog of the lunar atmosphere from all the plate tectonic activity so apparent from the air. Oh, wait].
Found in regions around Earth, lava tubes are created by molten rock, or magma, leaking up near or onto a world's surface, and forming these natural tunnels. Tubes form from crusted-over lava, and the conduits are emptied when lava drains out or is diverted elsewhere.
One can walk though giant lava tubes on Earth [such as in Australia, where they extend for many, perhaps even hundreds of miles].
To determine if the pit was part of a greater tunnel system, the researchers looked at other data collected by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, specifically from a radar instrument called the Miniature Radio-Frequency.
While flying over the pit in the volcanic plains of Mare Tranquillitatis (popularly called the "Sea of Tranquility"), the spacecraft sent a signal into the opening, which bounced back, ultimately providing (with the help of geometry and computer simulations) evidence of a tunnel at least some 130 feet (40 meters) wide and perhaps as much as 80 meters, or some 260 feet, long.
It turns out the pit is actually a skylight. "This is our first direct evidence of a conduit associated with one of those pits," Patterson said.
To buttress their lunar results, the researchers performed a similar analysis on a lava tube here on Earth. Their process worked. More

Major volcanic eruption in Indonesia triggers tsunami warning and evacuation of thousands
Images so spectacular, it's like AI imagined them
(AFP) Indonesian rescuers raced to evacuate thousands of people today (Thursday, 4/18/24) after a volcano erupted five times, forcing authorities to close a nearby airport and issue a warning about falling debris that could cause a tsunami.
The crater of Mount Ruang flamed with lava against a backdrop of lightning bolts overnight after erupting four times on Wednesday, forcing authorities to raise its alert level to the highest of a four-tiered system.
The volcano on a remote island in Indonesia's outermost region was still billowing a column of smoke on Thursday morning, prompting authorities to shut the nearest international airport in Manado City on Sulawesi Island for 24 hours. More

(Joe Scott) Dissociative fugues states are when a person suffers an involuntary erasure of identity, literally living under a different personality for months or even years before waking up with no memory of the time that has passed.

CBS News: Biden pardons two Thanksgiving turkeys, Liberty and Bell
Even turkeys aren't safe from Molester-in-Chief.
U.S. Pres. Biden pardoned two lucky turkeys today to mark the 76th anniversary of the National Thanksgiving Turkey Ceremony, one of the time-honored, albeit quirky, White House traditions.
"I [give two gravy boats about the rest of them but] hereby pardon Liberty and Bell! Alright," the president said to applause.
"Congratulations, birds! Congratulations."
Leave your door unlocked, I'll see you tonight.
[The president was happy to keep two alive, presumably to make out with on the lawn before their mothers returned for them, while doing nothing about the babies in Gaza, other than suggesting to Netanyahu that maybe he consider pausing a little, just a tiny bit for some humanitarian aid to be snuck in or backing the genocide completely and covering for Israel in spite of international condemnation and outrage, and even getting into the fight, risking American lives by sending ships and weapons into the region to fight Iran and anyone the CIA is willing to call a "proxy."]
Biden enjoys incestuous grooming-kiss with grandkid, Finnegan Biden, who needs inheritance.
.
Don't worry, we have spares (body doubles).
Liberty and Bell hail from Willmar, Minnesota and have been staying in a room at the luxurious Willard InterContinental Hotel near the White House, as is custom.
"These birds have a new appreciation of the word, 'let freedom ring,'" Mr. Biden said, reading a line written for him poorly. He's only aging and getting more enfeebled. This year's turkey pardon ceremony happens to fall on Mr. Biden's 81st birthday [and Chinese dictator Xi's wife, as Joe clumsily reminded him at APEC].
Grandpa's sexy and loves me.
The president doesn't have any other plans on his public schedule [because it's time for another golf vacation or maybe a visit to the plastic surgeon for some touch ups].
"I just want you to know it's difficult turning 60," the president attempted to joke, adding that he wasn't present for the first turkey pardoning event.
On a more somber note, the president switched gears to remember deceased former first lady Rosalynn Carter, who died Sunday at the age of 96 [while former Pres. Jimmy Carter keeps kicking at 99 in hospice care or assisted living].
I prefer my sexy grandkids to Jill, that bookworm and dud.
One indicted for war crimes yet not the other
"This week, we'll gather with the people we love and the traditions that each of us have built up in our own families," Mr. Biden said. "We'll also think about the loved ones we've lost, including just yesterday when we lost former first lady Rosalynn Carter, who walked her own path, inspiring a nation and the world along the way. And let's remind ourselves that we're blessed to live in the greatest nation on this face of the earth."
I'm a young 81 and doing a bang-up job. Watch how big the BANG I make is going to be.
The origin of the presidential turkey pardon ceremony is a bit murky. Pres. Harry Truman was the first president to hold a photo-op at the White House with a turkey he received from the National Turkey Federation and the Poultry and Egg National Board.
The White House says Truman began the tradition, but that's a claim the Truman Library and Museum has disputed.
It's also possible the ritual began with Pres. Abraham Lincoln after his son urged his father to spare the bird they had planned to slaughter and devour for Christmas.
The take home message? Protect your birds.
This year's turkeys, which hatched in July, were sent to the White House from the Jennie-O Turkey Store.
.
Jennie-O says the turkeys have been "receiving the five-star treatment befitting turkeys of their stature."
Liberty and Bell will retire to a University of Minnesota farm in the Twin Cities.
Hey, Kids, want to touch my Peeping Tom?
[Or the poultry may be given to Hamas who will torture them by turning them over to the IDF who will slaughter them and smear their blood on doors before bombing them in mimicry or mockery of American Christian holy day celebrations, presumably. Too dark? Hah, soldiers on a killing spree would never do anything like that]. More + VIDEO

Black holes are even weirder than thought
(Arvin Ash) SUMMARY: Karl Schwarzschild crafted the first exact solution to Einstein's equations of general relativity. He found that as gravity increased around an object, there must be a point where even light could not escape.
Genius Einstein had regard for Buddhism?
He theorized black holes.
Stars are in a balance between gravity trying to collapse it inward, and energy of fusion in its core which pushes outward. But when large stars run out of fuel, gravity causes it to collapse.
If the star is massive enough, this results in a supernova. A black hole remains in the center of the debris, if the collapsed core has a mass of 2 to 3 times the mass of our sun.
In a black hole, general relativity says all its mass is collapsed into an infinitesimally small volume, called a singularity. A singularity has all its mass in zero volume of space, thus it has infinite density.
But infinities usually mean errors in math, so singularities may not be real.
The singularity is enclosed by a boundary, the event horizon, within which the curvature of spacetime is so strong that light cannot escape. #blackhole#eventhorizon

How time flows near and inside a black hole
9:57 How can black holes be so bright if no light escapes?
11:34 How do we detect black holes if we can't see them?
12:29 Can life form on a planet orbiting a black hole?
The radius of this sphere is called the Schwarzschild radius. Since no light can escape from the event horizon, anything inside, including the singularity, can’t be directly seen. Anything that crosses into this horizon is swallowed forever [or no time at all, or for two Tuesdays, or we have no objective idea].
For this reason, black holes are considered the of edge of space, a one-way exit from our universe.
The size of a black hole is defined by its event horizon and is very small. If the sun were a black hole, it would be a sphere 6 km or 4 miles wide, and earth would be the size of a ping pong ball.
As you get closer to the event horizon, the flow of time slows, compared to flow of time from a point far away from it.
From the perspective of an observer far from the black hole, time stops completely at the event horizon. General relativity still works inside it but not at the singularity.
According to relativity, time and space trade places inside the black hole. Relativity predicts that time gets destroyed at the singularity. So a black hole is like the "reverse of creation."
Whatever is inside the event horizon is causally disconnected from us. It remains forever in the future. Whatever is inside hasn't happened yet from our perspective.
Since no light can escape, we can only “see” black holes indirectly because of the way their gravity affects stars and pulls matter into orbit.
As gas flows around some black holes, it heats up, paradoxically making them some of the brightest things in the universe.
But most black holes don’t have accretion discs, so they are not easily seen. Other methods have to be used to find them.
The supermassive black hole near the center of our Milky way galaxy called Saggitarious A* was found because of the tight orbits of stars we COULD see orbiting it.
Black holes are [now thought] rather common. Scientists estimate that a new black hole is formed in our universe every second [because this is a multiverse after all].
There are an estimated 100 million black holes [or zero] floating around in the Milky Way. So for every 1,000 stars we can see in the sky, there is a black hole among them that we can’t see.
The gravitational gradient around a black hole is so steep that it allows for MILLIONS of potential orbiting planets around them, whereas a regular stars can only support a fraction of that.
The maximum theoretical number of Earth-like planets that could exist around our Sun in the habitable zone is six. Replace our Sun with a black hole a million times its mass but about the same size and 550 Earth-size planets could orbit in the same region without bumping into each other.
A black hole’s gravity is so dominant, it negates how planets disrupt each other, and that allows for far more stable orbits to exist.
It is possible that a planet around a black hole could support life.
Black holes last much longer than our sun, 10^84 years vs 10^10 years. They are going to be around for a long time, after the all the stars have died out, and the universe goes dark [again in this cyclical process as explained in Buddhist cosmology].

Einstein Questions, Buddha Answers
This thought-provoking book (Einstein Questions, Buddha Answers) uses Einstein’s interest in wanting to find the absolute ruling point in nature and his quest for the theory of everything as the basis to connect with the Buddha’s wisdom regarding the existence of the ultimate, which he called "Nirvana." The author's prime duty is to help understand that this ultimate, absolute, unconditioned element has everything to do with each of us, intimately and significantly.
This is reflected in the contents of the book: finding our true "self" [in an impersonal universe], the state of a normal mind, the final frontier, and so on.
It also reveals the nature of the ultimate truth by connecting it with neutral terms such as "here and now," "truth and reality," and "the innocent perception."
No one, no idea, no concept, no theory, no solution can be called "perfect"; things can only be as perfect as they can be in relation to time and space.
Even the absolute truth is within the realm of constant movement [impermanence]. So even a fully enlightened person is not perfect; the perfection of an arhat (a fully enlightened/liberated person) is strictly in the relative sense.
We merely learn how to live in harmony with change if we know the ultimate truth.
Stunning PLUTO images show something unusual going on there
(The Secrets of the Universe) Pluto is an icy world that was once considered the ninth planet of the solar system. It's so far away that ground-based telescopes can hardly reveal any surface images of the dwarf planet.
Hence, Pluto remained a mystery for several decades after its discovery.
[NOTE: Never mind the terrible CGI that conceals real images.]
In 2006, NASA launched the New Horizons probe to study Pluto, which was still considered the ninth planet.
New Horizons reached Pluto after more than nine years and became the first spacecraft to fly by the far-flung world.
It [allegedly] sent back stunning images of the dwarf planet that revealed striking details of its surface.
Although New Horizons has now crossed the mark of 50 AU ("astronomical units") from Earth, data from the space probe is still being analyzed after six years of the Pluto flyby. And now research has shown that Pluto is not as calm as it seems. It is covered with ice volcanoes and the icy body might harbor liquid-water ocean underneath its surface.
In the fifth episode of the Sunday Discoveries Series, let's learn about the discovery of ice volcanoes on Pluto in detail.
