Hi Mauro, Thanks for bringing this point up again. Being in the Southern hemisphere, EC is probably harder for you to forget :)
Periodically we delve in-and-out of cosmological ramblings on Vortex, looking for the possible LENR connection (or rather an external stimulus to LENR).... and to be honest, when the Solar 11 year cycle came up this time - I completely forgot about the Eta Carinae connection. Given this known cycle, we probably do not need to invoke any other source for variations in solar activity. But that does not mean that the energy from EC is not "dark" for the most part. In fact dark energy may coincide with bright energy. http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2012/0208/Breathtaking-Carina-nebula-photo- provides-window-into-star-nursery Some of the other details are in this post below, including the remarkable coincidence that its 5.5+ year cycle is almost exactly half the solar 11 year cycle (which is not precise anyway). As for the doubling, we can surmise that precession of EC would mean that we "feel" only every second cycle. Because of EC's proximity to us - we often get more cosmic energy coming in from this single unstable zone (nebula not a black hole) than from the rest of our galaxy, including its several black holes. http://www.mail-archive.com/vortex-l@eskimo.com/msg63181.html Jones -----Original Message----- From: Mauro Lacy Hi Jones, Terry, I just saw the subject's message (http://www.mail-archive.com/vortex-l@eskimo.com/msg66408.html) yesterday, while searching the vortex-l archives. I unsubscribed from vortex-l months ago, because I was unable to keep up, mostly because of the amount of Rossi related stuff. Regarding the unusual event at AD 774 and the references to the nature article, "A signature of cosmic-ray increase in AD 774-775 from tree rings in Japan" http://www.nature.com/news/mysterious-radiation-burst-recorded-in-tree-rings -1.10768 http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v486/n7402/full/nature11123.html I did not read the paper, but just by looking at the abstract, there are a couple of strong hints that the cosmic-ray increase could be related to Eta Carinae: 1) the paper mentions that the event occurs suddenly and is of short duration, i.e. did not appear un previous nor subsequent years records, which matches with Eta Carinae's events. 2) the first recorded Eta Carinae spectroscopic event was in July 1870 (1870.60) (http://etacar.umn.edu/). Subtracting 1870.6 from 774.5 (assuming that the sudden cosmic-ray increase took place at the middle of 774), we obtain 1096.1, which is an almost integral multiple of Eta Carinae's spectroscopic events period(!), which is 5.539 years: 1096.1/5.539 = 197.89 (A period of 5.536 years, by the way, gives us an almost integer value of 197.995) Assuming that the event took place at the beginning of AD 774, we obtain (1870.6-774)/5.539 = 197.978, which is in excellent agreement. And assuming the end of 774, we get (1870.6-774.9)/5.539 = 197.815, which is still in good agreement. So, if Eta Carinae's spectroscopic events were regular also in the past; which is relatively safe to assume if the events are related to the dynamics of a binary system (which is the main proposed cause), an unusually strong explosion or cosmic-ray emission took place there, 8000 years before 774 AD, and affected Earth in AD 774. That is, the year 774 would be one in which a particularly powerful EtaCar spectroscopic event arrived. Regarging north/south variations, I was unable to detect direct correlations between north/south solar hemisphere sunspot activity and Eta Carinae events. In fact, it seems a certain inverse correlation is more probably observed. This may be related to a kind of amplification effect, or gavitational lens effect, as recently mentioned in other posts http://www.mail-archive.com/vortex-l@eskimo.com/msg86440.html Maybe the Sun's own southern hemisphere acts as a lens for the north hemisphere, where the sunspots appear. In that case, when analyzing (Earth's) north and south hemisphere C14 levels in trees, something similar could be found. Best regards, Mauro
