Seagulling onto threads is pretty common for some “frevos”.
In case you don’t know what that means, a seagull flies in from above, makes a bunch of noise, leaves his calling card and then flies away.

God may have a thing for spinning things as He seems to for spirals.
***I get that impression as well, just by reading Ezekiel.

True. LOL.
I hadn’t connected that!

A change in the fine structure constant that varied with the distance from the Sun could also explain the Pioneer anomaly.

I remember reading a few months back someone came up with a direct way to measure the ( Fine structure constant ? ). I will see if I can find the article .
To: Kevmo
The values assigned to the decay-rate for particular isotopes are derived from laboratory experiments and statistical analyses of the raw data made available. Nuclear decay is not a deterministic (e.g., F=ma) type of phenomenon. It is a statistical estimate. Although there are many hypotheses about how matter acts at the atomic level, none have yet to be demonstrated to be comprehensive. I suspect that the variation in decay rate reported in this article is a simplistic way of describing statistical analysis results that have created a mean estimate that is several standard deviations (or other error measurement) away from the expected value(s).
