If you are new to Vortex, you may not realize that we have a unwanted and
powerful neighbor in the galaxy named Eta Carinae. It is starting to act up
now, and it may be taking out sun along for the ride. Aside from the 2012
(Mayan) hoopla, this is looking like a big year for solar activity.
Jones, even when I consistently enjoy your speculative and imaginative
posts, I want to make some comments:
2012 can be a big year for solar activity, but according to recent
predictions, the cycle's peak will be late to the 2012 end-of-times
party, in May 2013. And the biggest sunspots and related activity
usually occur after the maximum, when the Sun is heading again for solar
minimum.
And, according to Eta Carina 5.52 years cycle, its next spectroscopic
event will be around January 2014, even later.
Finally, there's no need for entanglement, strangelets or other exotic
(or strangely sounding) mechanisms to explain an interaction with
something 8000 light years away. Simply, the effects reaching us now had
their causes there, only 8000 years ago.
What I find interesting is the possibility that Eta Carina's 5.52 year
cycle can influence or modulate the solar cycle, to a certain extent. If
that 5.5 years cycle can be associated with this solar cycle's delay,
with 2008's unusual activity, and with solar activity in general, that
would be a very good finding.

Figuratively, Eta Carinae is the closest thing to "evil" (wanton
destructiveness) that anyone can imagine, even considering black holes. It
is in the constellation Carinae - "the keel" which is visible from the
Southern Hemisphere - about 8000 light years away. It could be both
progenitor and destroyer, in a way.
Earth is about 27,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way but Eta
Carinae is less than a third of the way to the core, and it isn't associated
with a black hole - in fact EC is closer to us and often beams more energy
than the entire galaxy core, as seen by us. Here is what it looks like:

provides-window-into-star-nursery
It is not yet clear what supplies the radiated energy that can peak at 10^50
ergs, but this output has been cyclically tied to abnormal solar activity on
our sun. Curiously, one of the main power sources is likely to be nickel, in
the sense of decay to 56Ni from heavier mass (according to spectroscopy).
We see this massive energy peak coming from EC on a particular temporal
cycle, and when we talked about it here on Vortex the last time that it
peaked (~5+ years ago), it was in regard to abnormal sunspots at a time when
we were supposed to be in a solar minimum. Our sun's cycle could be tied
directly to the EC cycle for a number of reasons, but how can it "skip" and
feel only every other one of EC's cycles ? Or else, it is a spectacular
coincidence.
Eta Carinae seems to be powered by the see-saw death and rebirth of an
extremely massive star system. It is a 'repeat offender' regularly gaining
and loosing mass in "hundred-sun" quanta. And the main output vector seems
to be pointed at our sun like a rifle.
In fact, EC could be the final remnant of a captured galaxy itself. Even if
we limit the present speculation to a focused discharge from EC, traveling
fairly close to light-speed, what kind of accelerated mass-energy fits these
circumstances (disruptive enough to cause sunspots 8000 years removed) ? It
must be strange, as in "strangelets".
Can this kind of directed influence happen at all over 8000 l.y. or does it
demand some kind of quantum entanglement of two systems, which goes back in
time to a "genesis" event? IOW this may have been the predecessor star
system for us, and that explains why we are still 'entangled' to a degree.
Plus, the tie-in to nickel is also a coincidental detail that may not be
completely random, vis-à-vis other phenomena - if some kind of weird quantum
entanglement exist between us and our "keel".
Anyway - let's hope it does not keel-over on us later this year... but...
yes, to answer a lingering question - methinks the Maya would surely have
been aware of Eta Carinae and its regular cycle.
On occasion, it can be the brightest star in the heavens.
