Wobbly Universe

Thanks to my friend Chloe for finding this link (click title to see) at NASA. The NASA article states:

"February 20, 2007: One pole of the sun is cooler than the other. That's the surprising conclusion announced today by scientists who have been analyzing data from the ESA-NASA Ulysses spacecraft.

Ulysses is the only ship in the NASA or European fleet capable of flying over the sun's poles, a result of the spacecraft's uniquely-tilted orbit. Its ability to study the sun's unexplored polar regions is prized by solar physicists.

Ulysses' first polar flybys in 1994 and 1995 revealed the asymmetry—"a 7 to 8 percent difference in temperature," says Ulysses science team member George Gloeckler of the University of Maryland. The measurement was both mysterious and a little hard to believe. What would make the sun lopsided in this way?"

Well the answer was found by me around 1990. I have presented this at a conference in Crimea and in Russia and had info on www since about 1993. My old notes are available here:

A mechanism for the sunspot cycle is proposed which explains the correlations between planetary periods and alignments and periods found in the sunspots. and,

The effect of gravity on photons has been dealt with by Einstein. The normal terms such as acceleration are awkward when applied to photons, and so I am defining a new variable, which I call PULL, which has the same units as acceleration, and can be applied to both photons and normal matter. The advantage of this will then be demonstrated for performing some calculations in areas not previously explored.

In the first paper above I state:
... "Jupiter (as an example) displaces the centre of the sun by 600m over half a revolution. This is small compared to the sun's size being about 10^-6 of the sun's radius. When we consider that the sun has a temperature gradient that is a fairly steady one amounting to 15,000,000 degrees over its radius, we see that this small displacement should heat the surface by about 15 degrees in one hemisphere. This is .25% of the sun's temperature at the surface which would result in an increased energy output of 1% (as energy is proportional to the fourth power of temperature).
Actually this figure is higher than the observed change, but the other hemisphere has an opposite effect. The observed change is of the order of 0.1% only. This demonstrates that the planets do have a big enough effect on the sun to fully explain the observed changes in solar output."

Both my blogs have been subject to spam attacks over the last few weeks, with someone setting up automated posting to many parts of the blogs. At first I thought that this was just stupidity, see the title link to my other blog. If you have posted to my blogs and the post has not appeared it is because it is lost in over 1000 spam messages. I am still trying to get the ISP of the spammer to shut them down and am close to a name and shame on them.

I am wondering whether there is an alternative motive here. Perhaps I said something that offended someone and they are the sort of people that don't do things openly. However I have news for them. All the activity on my blog has lifted it up the google ratings, so keep it coming and whatever you don't want known will get better publicity.

....

I was getting paranoid because of getting some 1400 spam comments to my blog. It seems that this is actually a flaw in b2evolution and that it is the trackback feature that needs to be turned off - Advice to all who use this blog.

I think that I am now back in business and ready to receive comments again. But will be away for some days so don't expect your comment to appear immediately.
