“When I was a little boy all i wanted to know was on your cover this month. Why are we, who we are?”

Shelby C.
4/17/22

I lived on an island with a small village on the St. Simons Sound a few miles from the Artlantic Ocean. Back in 1956 my aviator father could afford a house 2 blocks from the beach. There were 4 churches who rang their bells every Sunday morning. I would cry every Sunday morning because I wasn't in church where i thought that people wanted me to be. There was just something about it that got stuck in my craw. Virgins don't have babies. I enjoyed seeing the pictures of my ancestors, cave men. Anilmals that looked like me and I grew up wanting to be an Anthropologist. I got married in1969 too young and my father was where he had been what seemed like all of my life. He was in Vietnam and he was 50 years old getting his 29th year in the navy. I was going to community college at night while my young bride was in nursing school. In 1970 after we had been married 7 months I came home and my father had been medivacced to Bethesda naval hospital with leukemia that he contracted from being at Bikini Atoll in 1950 to witness the hydrogen bomb test. He had been in Hawaaii at the end of WWII and so had beeen exposed to radiation there also. In Jjanuary of 1970 I took my bride and our 7 week old daughter to Bethesda in a VW bug. Babies diarrhea front seat of a volkswagon with the only grandchild he would ever see. He died in 1972 and I was awarded the GI bill As a Vietnam War Orphan. I transferred to UGA as a junior and enrolled and got my degree in Anthropology with honors and started graduate School with a pregnant wife. She became very ill and successfully delivered a boy child whose middle name was the same as my fathers had been. I am 71 now and the discover magazine has on it's ccover my questions all along Why are we, who we are? Exaxctly. Like my ancestors where is Thunder from, Why do earthquakes happen. How can I go up there to the moon. Homo sapiens in 50,000 years figured it out. My shirt reads from stones to the moon in 50,000 years Wow! Besides Discover I read Smithsonian, Archaeology, Nat Geo, Natural History, Scientific Ameican, American Archaeology, and Ancient American. There are others that write things that i am interested in and i read those when I see an interesting cover like "We were not alone", Like my wife, I became a RN so that I could write checks to Ga Tech when our daugther wanted to become a Physicist. We started with 2 Abraham Lincolns and without borrowing money we paid for 8 college degrees. All men are created equal endowed with Certain inalienable rights. Of which are Life. Liberty, and the Persuit of Happiness. It is not when you get married but who you marry that matters most. I knew that the woman I married would do whatever was necessary and I went into the hospital for brain surgery and finished in patient rehab 186 days later and I had a visitor every day. 6/4/69 was nearly 53 years ago and we love each other.

“Junk science”

This magazine only exists to scare you based on flawed studies. Even if you have your nose exposed, it doesn't mean you are completely helpless against the coronavirus. A strong immune system is much better and more effective than a mask ever will be.

Elon Musk wasn't the first to say it. Radiation, Dark Matter, Plasma, Ether - all the same?

Dark Matter, Grey Matter:

(How did musicians from the early 80s come up with the song)? Either the PTB are manufacturing an alternate reality to go along with the Anunnaki story or we're in for one heck of a ride. 'Only a Lad' is my all-time favorite song - will have to re-search these dudes again, connected.

Quote from the article:
"In that case, maybe our best strategy is to lead lives that amuse our audience, in the hope that our simulator-gods will resurrect us in the afterlife of next-generation simulations."

Ancient times of the Sirens. Beau Music, meant to 'InSpire' Consciousness. Chalk a point up for Oingo Boingo.

And last...
Here's Mark, the 'sugar mountain' of spy data, Zuckerburg (check his grandchild status w/ Rockefeller):

Discover is a popular monthly science magazine published in the USA and which has a website of its own at http://www.discovermagazine.com. But I'm over at the blogs, for which the link is http://blogs.discovermagazine.com, and specifically at a blog entitled "Bad Astronomy" at http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/.

Unfortunately I can't demonstrate this at the time of writing, as the SiteJabber system doesn't permit the display or review of anything at a URL with more that the prerequisite two forward slashes. So I apologize if you were expecting a review of all the blogs at the blog homepage, as I'm only plugging the one.

Bad Astronomy is, naturally, written by the bad astronomer, otherwise known as Phil Plait, a professional astronomer who's been involved in the subject since he was a teenager, went on to work on the Hubble telescope, amongst other things, and who now lectures on the subject and has authored a couple of books, the latest of which is all about the various ways the world is likely to end. His original homepage is still online at http://www.badastronomy.com, but his blog has moved over to the Discover domain.

Bad Astronomy doesn't imply that Phil is indeed a bad astronomer; as the original site was created to expose bad astronomy rather than to practice it, and to debunk faulty science and speculation and distinguish them from the real thing. The writer is a skeptic who stands behind evidence-supported disciplines and regards alternative medicines and speculative pseudo-scientific theories (cough 2012 cough) with contempt until he's proven wrong.

But whether you agree with his opinions or not, he's a very easy writer to read, his posts are almost always interesting and he positively glows with enthusiasm for science and of course, astronomy in particular. This is a man who gets more excited over seeing rocks on the Moon than watching a Star Trek movie, and while you're sharing the experience with him, maybe you'll understand why.
