Wobbly Universe

This article will put forward a view which will be considered radical by experts in physics, climate, human behaviour and probably many other fields. However that does not make it wrong. The fact is that something like 99.9999% of humanity have never been exposed to the thinking put forward here and so it has never been thoroughly tested for its validity. So you, Dear Reader, have a chance to be one of the very few who has a new way to look at things. If seriously considered, this approach will gradually cause connections to be seen between many aspects of the operation of the Universe and as a result the affairs of humans.

As background to the main argument I will present a few pieces of evidence that are relevant. They will seem like they are disjointed at first, but I will show how they make an undeniably strong argument.

1. Climate varies on many different time scales. There are fluctuations of hundreds of millions of years in climate that have major consequences for the type of and distribution of life on Earth. On this longest scale we are presently in one of the colder periods known as ice ages. There are variations of tens to hundreds of thousand years known as the Milankovitch cycles and we are now in a short inter-glacial that is due to end quite soon and return us to the prevailing ice age conditions. There are shorter cycles of hundreds to thousands of years that are not as strong as the others, but still sufficient to cause the rise and fall of civilisations as they make that little bit of difference in how hard it is for people to stay alive. When the going is easier, humans have spare capacity that they turn to culture and other activities than just staying alive. There are shorter fluctuations from decades to years and less, and we call these weather rather than climate. Still, they relate to the yield of crops and other important results in terms of human survival and comfort.

2. Measurements of variations in the Sun are strongly correlated with climate change on Earth. Although this is denied by some people who want to blame global warming totally on human activity, it is really self evident. If the Sun's heat output varies then it must affect temperatures on Earth. But further, it is demonstrated by many scientific papers. These variations are on many scales and many are known to be correlated with climate. There are also orbital and rotational variations of the Earth with respect to the Sun that play a part.

3. Humans have produced far more CO2 and other chemicals into the atmosphere in that last century or two than at any previous time in recorded history. Many people are concerned that human activity will detrimentally affect our environment and push it into some terrible positive feedback that makes the Earth a much more unpleasant place to live. If this happens it will be too late to try and reverse things, so it is wise to be cautious.

4. The evidence put forward regarding climate change an global warming has been highly politicised. This is because of fear and greed. The green faction fear the destruction of our habitat and so look at things with a biased eye to try and find that cause everywhere. The industrialists want to make profits and greed leads them to try to deny the problems. Scientists who write reports are often financed by or sympathetic to one group or the other, or have some additional agenda. Scientists are no less biased than other people, suffering from the same mental weaknesses of desire for income, desire for security and adherence to what they learned at home or school even in the face of evidence to the contrary.

5. Studies of electromagnetic fields (EM) effects on humans find that extra-low frequencies (ELF) can influence human reaction times and emotions. This is not surprising, because these ELF waves are in the same range as human brain wave rhythms. Waves that are slightly faster than normal brain waves can cause faster reaction times while slower ones cause slower reactions. This is quite an expected result as it is common physics for frequencies to entrain systems that have nearby frequencies through resonance. Additionally, other research has shown that people have more accidents when there is strong natural ELF just below the normal human brain wave frequencies. Again, it is no surprise that something that slows the brain and reactions down will cause more accidents, as our bodies move just as fast but our thinking does not keep up.

6. There have been studies that show that war has present cycles of period 11 and 22 years, just the same as sunspots have. The peaks occur at the same time. It is known that the Sunspot cycle cause big variations in the output of various frequencies of radiation and particles which arrive soon after at the Earth. The Solar output affects the Earth's EM field, causing variations in geomagnetic activity as well as fluctuations in the Earth's natural EM oscillation known as the Schumann resonance. This is the period at which the earth's EM field oscillates and it is right in the middle of the human brain wave frequencies, a fact that is probably not coincidence. Is it any wonder then that human behaviour is affected by the Sun, and that humans get more "uppity" and fight more wars at those times that the Sun is causing more agitation of the earth's EM oscillations and human brains too?

Taking all of the above together a pattern begins to emerge. Humans are more active when the Sun is more active. This applies to centuries long cycles as well as shorter ones. The peaks of all the major civilisations over the last few thousand years have been when the Sun is hotter and the earth also hotter. Cold periods have caused bleak periods where sometimes even the recording of history seems to almost die out. Now the question that naturally results from all this, but which no-one has asked:

Is extreme human industrial activity with its possible environmental aspects part of a natural cycle that follows from extremely high Solar activity in recent decades?

In other words, instead of looking for a human OR Solar cause to climate change, might we not see that Solar changes affect humans and that both affect the climate together? If we take away our normal judgments about human behaviour (a big ask I know) then we might see that humans are just pawns or cogs in the whole process. This is not to excuse that behaviour, but to explain its origin. We might still need to take action to change ourselves if we wish to avoid problems, but it should be action based on proper understanding of how we fit into the grand scheme of things.

I know that I will already have pushed many people into an uncomfortable idea, whether they be on one side or the other of climate debate. But sides are not useful, understanding is. And I will press on to the final step in this logic:

What if the Sun, like humans, is just a pawn or cog in the cosmic dance of energies?

This requires a leap of understanding that will need evidence that is beyond the scope of this article. However it can be shown that some of the Sun's has cycle periods are related to wider aspects of the structure of the Universe. The huge geological cycles that show in terrestrial geological formations are closely related to the waves of galaxy distribution in space. The Sun too is dancing to the Universal Cosmic rhythms that pervade the entire Universe. The entire Universe and everything in it is nothing but vibrations of energy, from sub-atomic particles through to galactic super-clusters, all are of the same essence.

In the future I will present further articles that will explain much more about these logical conclusions and show that there are very sound scientific reasons for this view. Whenever I have presented this material to people at conferences I find that it is well received, because people have a feeling for it that they cannot put into words.
