Krakatoa (Earth & Sky) (Astrophysics)

KRAKATOA
Earth & Sky

On August 27th, 1883, Krakatoa exploded. The Volcano had been active for several months prior to its climactic end, with the final events beginning on August 26th. So powerful was the explosion of the following day, it obliterated the island---the bulk of it was shot into the upper atmosphere where the suspended dust and gas are said to have impacted climate for a number of years.

The eruption of Krakatoa is the most powerful volcanic event recorded in human history. Nearly 40,000 human souls were extinguished in the disaster.

Yet the eruption of unprecedented proportion that was Krakatoa was not the only event of such magnitude to have occurred that month. Amazingly, another force of even greater destructive potential is now alleged to have threatened the planet that same year and month of August 1883 and only blind luck prevented the deaths of a far larger proportion of the Earth's population.

Earlier that month, in an observatory in Mexico, a lone astronomer spotted a group of extra-terrestrial objects---more than 400 in total---passing in front of the Sun. He didn't know it but what he saw through his telescope, as is now alleged by some who have studied the matter, was a force so powerful it might have wiped human civilization from the face of planet earth; for each dot he counted in the sky represented a commetary fragment of up to a kilometer in diameter. Any one of these, had it struck the Earth, would have exploded with the force of a Krakatoa. But so close was the cloud that the Earth avoided collision with the entire scattered mass by only the narrowest of margins.

Each event was unprecedented in impact or potential and, in impact or potential, remains unsurpassed. Yet both occurred that same August of 1883.

As every Applied Epistemologist is aware, this synchronicity can be no coincidence.

Of course, we might suggest that the Mexican Astronomer was mistaken. After all, the commetary threat went unnoticed by observers at other latitudes. Yet this explanation is perhaps the least probable of any we might offer; for an astronomer might have mistakenly glimpsed the most monumental astronomical cataclysm in human history at any point in time. That this error might have been made in the same month in which actually occurred the greatest volcanic cataclysm in human history would be a coincidence of astronomical proportion.

On the other hand, it must be acknowledged that the coincidence of the astronomical error with the Krakatoa event does have a logical explanation---if the latter caused the former.

Krakatoa had been erupting for some months prior to its ultimate self-immolation. It is within the realm of probability that some ejecta had been thrown into the upper atmosphere by some earlier volcanic burp and that this particulate matter produced the illusion of commetary fragments in the eyes of one earthly observer.

Perhaps we must reach this conclusion. For if we do not, only one possibility remains. The eruption of Krakatoa was triggered from outer space.

Let us not forget, however, that SLOT predicts (sort of) that the greatest earthquakes will occur along the previous Catastrophe Zone ie the Indonesian Islands ie the site of Krakatoa.

Although this does not rule out extra-terrestrial forces triggering weaknesses in the Catastrophe Zone, AE principles would tend to militate against. However, the earlier 'burps' might support this scenario.

Surely though, if these passing asteroids (or whatever) were indeed capable of such action-at-a-distance, more than one terrestrial eruption would have taken place. Unless again the burps were priming the one nearest to bursting.

If we take an Electric Universe approach, our Sun and each of the planets will form tuned circuits (of some kind). Mostly stable but prone to unstable oscillations when they get spurious inputs. Like solar flares.

If the Earth's core is molten magnetic metal, any unstable electromagnetic oscillations will surely cause some mass displacements?

See Faraday's Law, etc.

How massive would the asteroids/comets/whatever have to be to have an effect as well?

Just came across this rare shot of one of the sun, showing the cooler coronal hole, which is some 400,000 miles in diameter...

The 'gigantic hole' in the SUN that's firing solar material into space and was spotted by a spacecraft

The large polar coronal hole is cooler than the surrounding sun, just like the cooler poles we observe on Earth. Perhaps this is an indication that the processes happening in the sun are similar to those on Earth, but at a larger and more dynamic scale?
