Has Art Bell attested to the credibility of this fellow?
“solar heat is the dominant factor that determines temperatures on the surface of Earth”
that sentence is right. The rest if nonsense.
I was in Vegas last month for the seventh time.
It’s going to be a looong time before i go back again.

What can we do to prevent a star from going Supernova? This sounds series and it could affect us all.
We must DO something! Especially if it can be shown that it is OUR CAPITALIST PIG FAULT that the star blew up.
Are these people smoking frikkin CRACK???? Who worries about a suntan causing spontaneous combustion? Who worries about using a flashlight on an onion causing it to explode?
My God these people are STUPID!
In the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens, the character Krook is killed by spontaneous combustion, "engendered in the corrupted humors of the vicious body itself".(Wikipedia)
Jack and Poo. Get out around Pluto or Orcus and hide on the night side of the dwarf planet. You might survive then.
btw - I’m selling Global Catastrophe insurance.
For $1,000 (that’s less than $3 a day), I will pay you one billion dollars if the planet is completely destroyed.
Deal?
“astral travel”
Looks liked he’s found a way out. No worries.
Astral travellers are now going to have to pay a war on terror security tax.
CAREFUL!! Or it'll POP like a big zit!

[Can a planet explode?
If a planet can indeed explode, and there was at least one such event somewhere in our Solar system in the distant
past, we should be able to find the evidence of it today. This is due to the fact that the debris from the exploded
planet would not vanish. Bits and pieces would not only remain, but their collective presence should still mark a

trajectory (the orbit around the Sun) of the planet that exploded.
It is a well-known fact that there exists the so-called asteroid belt in our Solar system. It is a belt of a large
number of asteroids that orbit the Sun along orbits that are located between Mars and Jupiter. At least 40,000 of
these asteroids are thought to have diameters larger than 0.8 km (0.5 mile). The largest asteroid in the asteroid
belt, called Ceres, is about 930 kilometers across.
The existence and the origin of the entire asteroid belt are long standing scientific puzzles. Why does the
asteroid belt exist only between Mars and Jupiter and there are no asteroid belts between other planets?
The present belief is that planets in the solar system formed out of randomly distributed dust and other bits and
pieces. Hence, it is also believed that the growth of a full-sized planet between Mars and Jupiter was aborted
during the early evolution of the solar system.
The explosion of a planet that existed between Mars and Jupiter is a much more logical and plausible explanation.
In Greek Mythology there is a story about a planet that exploded. The planet was called Phaëthon. In the myth
Phaëthon was destroyed by a thunderbolt. Did our ancestors embed this event in their belief system because
they actually witnessed a planetary explosion and they just couldnt explain it any other way? Can we determine
today what is a myth and what is an actual fact? Plato, one of the greatest writers and philosophers of all time,
was aware that the story of Phaëthon destroyed by a thunderbolt had its origin in a real planetary event. He
wrote [9] : Now this has the form of a myth, but really signifies decline of the bodies moving in the heavens....
The meaning of the word phaëthon () in ancient Greek is giving light, luminous, brilliant, shining
[10]. Note that words phaëthon and photon originate from the same root (o
=
) [10]. In the myth,
Phaëthon is known as the son of Helios (the son of the Sun) [9]. Doesnt this hint that the planet Phaëthon was
one of the brightest objects in the sky at night? Isnt it obvious that the disappearance of such an object would
attract attention of even a casual sky observer? The story of the destruction of Phaëthon by a thunderbolt[9]
indicates that our ancestors perceived its explosion to be as bright as lightning. Should we ignore a witness
report of our ancestors embedded not only in their heritage but also in their language?]
Thanks. The Mod who pulled it gave as ‘reason’ just a terse “AP”.
I had checked the latest excerpt-only/link-only/copyright-complainer list, and AP nor CBS was on it, so posted, and got it pulled almost immediately.
