Lost Interview with Ufology Pioneer Riley Crabb Comes to Light
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
First off, understand that my Cloud Cosmology establishes three tiers of matter which then allows for planet formation and sun formation to include a hollow sphere design around an inner Sun. This allows for earth like conditions on the interior surface for all properly sized spheres. This conforms with the writings of Swedenborg from the late seventeenth century although he did not percieve the nature of the actual planetary spheres. So we come to the modern era in which communication with others is alledged. Understanding the consequences of Cloud Cosmooogy allows us to av...
Over the Great Barrier Reef Save Corals?

Without rehashing cause and effect, there is merit in flooding cold water onto hte surface of specific reefs. At least as an experiment. We do believe this can be beneficial, but mother nature tends to surprise. The energy problem is nonsense and demonstrates lack of imagination. We want to run a simple sea proof pipe using a safe enough diameter out over the shelf and down some distance into the abyss. Integrity may place real limits on depth, but we will generate a sharp temperature gradient around 600 feet down. At some point the fluid pressure will mobalize the water to ...
