For some reason our Sam Wormley has frequently posted such infomercials even though he and other parrots do not agree with the gist of the research. His only goal was to discredit the research. It would take a sustained nova of mostly X-rays and some gamma in order to exterminate most all life on Earth, such as caused by Sirius(B) consuming Sirius(C), and/or that of it's helium flashover that happened perhaped 65 million BP. As of 265+ million years ago there was also the terrific Sirius molecular cloud that should have been all around us for quite some time. ~ BG

What made that lunar south pole crater of 2500 km, and since we're only talking about an impact of a few km/sec, where the hell is it? ~ BG

Not long ago you were a Man in the Moon denialist. Anyway, one upon a time the lunar craters were formed by the Sirians blowing transparent, metallic bubbles to cover their mining cities and provide an atmosphere. This was after they were forced to move away from Venus. Where they had caused global warming by massive overpopulation and severe flatulence due to a poor, salt-laden, takeaway diet. Mars was a moon of Venus before that but the Sirians upset the stability of the pair by mining over millions of years. Mars became so porous that it just drifted off, like a sponge in the bath. Colliding accidentally with the Earth on its way out to a new orbit. Most of the Sirians eventually abandoned our completely porous and depleted husk of a moon to live underground inside Mars. Where they live to this day in perpetual darkness like pallid, mole rats with dripping icicles on the ends of their noses. Bacteria formed there, long, long ago, to provide a gentle luminosity to light their way into the darkness. Nobody knows what happened to the Lunar Syrians. Only a few traces of their mining activities remain as distant legends on YouTube. The Sirians religious fervour slowly grew out of all proportion and everything they did had to be accompanied by a long and completely pointless prayer. Their gods on Sirius C, D, E and Iota had long abandoned them in a fiery cataclysm while playing with ever larger matches. The Sirians had no metals left to form enough permanent domes on Mars to allow even the richest mine owners to remain on the surBTW, Guff. Phone home! face. Nor even enough to build new spaceships to escape their inevitable fate. So they slowly became dwarfed and almost blind over time as they moved ever deeper into the ancient mining tunnels of Mars. And the last Sirian prince married the poor miner's daughter and everybody lived happily ever after. BTW: Guff. Phone home!

Think of two giant balls of Oasis sponge bouncing off each other in the zero gravity of space!! Not only are they fragile from millions of years of Sirian mining but they have been weakened by the Salty Solar Winds and GAMMA RAYS[!!!] over a very, very, very, very, very, very long time!!! See my other post on Sirian salt mining for absolute PROOF!!!! I'm collecting more proof from YouTube and will publish my findings VERY soon! With really, REAL pictures and AMAZING videos too!!!!! References: http://www.save-on-crafts.com/oasis7.html http://www.save-on-crafts.com/oasis9.html Note the similarity of the brown Oasis ball to rusty MARS and OLYMPUS MONS!!!! THIS IS FROM A LEAKED(!!!) TOP SECRET(!!!) CIA [!!!] FILE BUT AMAZINGLY, UNBELIEVABLY, INCREDIBLY TRUE!!! NASA didn't WANT you to see THIS!!!!! Not EVER!! It blows a hole right through modern astrofi atrophy astrophysci astro pphysically ALL SCIENTRIFIC THEORY and all NUMBERCYLE MODELS and crop circle DENIALISTS will die burning in HADES FOREVER!!! TRUE!!! Dy'all want a pinch of lunar salt with this? |
