Hello, that was some fireball crash at the start of today's grand prix in Bahrein, after it was established the driver came away relatively scott free, the rest of the drivers who had been red flagged and walked around waiting for a re start, that would take 80 min, because part of the barrier that split Grosjean's car was in serious need of replacing itself, all mangled steel, the drivers got see in slow mo from different angles on huge screens and together with millions of viewers around the globe how miraculously a man stepped out of the fire assisted by two safety marshalls, away from the inferno and what was left of his car-not much. As for the race Hamilton won again, Verstappen managed the fastest lap but couldn't get close enough to worry Lewis and the rest were way back, closest was Perez who drove a fine race until has car gave the ghost 3 laps before the end, very costly for his team, the loss of 15 points meant that Mclaren now has a 17point lead in the battle for third in the constructors championship (lot's of money at stake). Next week another race in Bahrein, different circuit but likely same outcome, and who knows Grosjean back behind the wheel....
Here today, naturally my mission of trying to breakthough the wall of nonsense build by the supposed smartest men on the planet is continuing as chinks start to appear, their arrogant stupidity set us back decades if not more, electro-magnetics is clean energy and would have delivered us not only flying cars, but flying saucers aswell and who knows a pathway into other dimensions..Meanwhile i got a request to continue the Expanse, and as this is one of the greatest SF series of our days and within it Abaddon's Gate one of it's highlights no reason to stop there then, so i won't...N Joy..

Astronomers with the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys’ Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) report a “fossil galaxy” buried within the Milky Way.
The primitive galaxy could have collided with the Milky Way about ten billion years ago, in the earliest stages of development. Called Heracles, it is thought to account for about one third of the Milky Way’s spherical halo. A few years ago, the SDSS found that a torus of stars surrounds the Milky Way at a distance of 120,000 light-years. The Milky Way’s stellar population was previously estimated to be about 200 billion stars contained in the spiral arms and nucleus. The additional population of stars in the ring puts that number at around one trillion stars!
As mentioned, the ring of stars is said to be the remains of a collision between the Milky Way and a dwarf galaxy billions of years ago. How a “collision” between two structures that are almost nothing but empty space leaves coherent formations behind is a mystery. What drives the birth of “young” blue stars, along with a swarm of globular clusters similar to those in other galactic rings, is also mysterious. Consensus viewpoints assume that galaxies are gravity-based structures, obeying old ideas of mechanics and momentum. Galaxies are not “whirlpools of stars” that depend on gravity. Galaxies are electrically active agglomerations in which each star is the locus of charge flow. Electricity flowing through dusty plasma is responsible for the births of stars and galaxies. Such flows of electricity are commonly called Birkeland currents, after their discoverer, Kristian Birkeland.
Electricity moves out of a galaxy’s polar axis and then returns to the central plasmoid through its spiral arms. Even in elliptical and other galactic shapes, barred-spirals are seen embedded inside their disks. There are circuits across galactic disks, receiving power from Birkeland currents connecting them with the rest of the Universe. Presumably, strands of magnetically confined electric filaments are transmitting power from one end of space to the other. Instead of gravity, as intergalactic Birkeland currents move through galaxies they generate toroidal particle beams, which energize rings of stars at the disk edges. Birkeland currents form helices as they twist around one another. Cross sections through the helices in laboratory experiments reveal familiar barred-spiral shapes. Since galaxies are most likely electrical in nature, electromagnetic forces act on them with such power that kinetic forces, like collisions, can be ignored when modeling their shapes and behaviors.
In the image at the top of the page, NGC1291 reveals an extreme example of a galaxy’s core with its ring. Galactic haloes, seen in the light of electrical theories, can mean an entirely new way of seeing evolution in the Universe. Stellar haloes are actually examples of a dense plasma focus penumbra. Images from experiments using a “plasma gun” offer a direct analogue to “pinch zones” surrounding an electric discharge from the center of the Milky Way.

Scientists recently reported that the Voyager 2 spacecraft is now the second man-made object to cross the boundary into interstellar space. And as with Voyager 1, the theoretical predictions based on standard solar physics do not match discovery. Of course, the predictions of the Electric Universe theory about the interstellar environment and behavior of the solar wind differ dramatically from convention. We asked retired professor of Electrical Engineering Dr. Donald E. Scott to offer an overview of the Voyager 2 findings to date.

The Expanse is a series of science fiction novels (and related novellas and short stories) by James S. A. Corey, the joint pen name of authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck. The first novel, Leviathan Wakes, was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2012. The series as a whole was nominated for the Best Series Hugo Award in 2017.
As of 2019, The Expanse is made up of eight novels and eight shorter works - three short stories and five novellas. At least nine novels were planned, as well as two more novellas. The series was adapted for television by the Syfy Network, also under the title of The Expanse, then they dropped the ball despite the succes of the series, i suspect the whole thing got too serious (expensive) so once again Syfy network proved they can't handle success. Anyway fans were outraged and got Amazon Prime to pick it up for a fourth and fifth series and considering the mountain of money Jeff Bezos sits on i suspect several more as long as the fans keep cheering.
The Expanse is set in a future in which humanity has colonized much of the Solar System, but does not have interstellar travel. In the asteroid belt and beyond, tensions are rising between Earth's United Nations, Mars, and the outer planets.
The series initially takes place in the Solar System, using many real locations such as Ceres and Eros in the asteroid belt, several moons of Jupiter, with Ganymede and Europa the most developed, and small science bases as far out as Phoebe around Saturn and Titania around Uranus, as well as well-established domed settlements on Mars and the Moon.
As the series progresses, humanity gains access to thousands of new worlds by use of the ring, an artificially sustained Einstein-Rosen bridge or wormhole, created by a long dead alien race. The ring in our solar system is two AU from the orbit of Uranus, and passing through it leads to a hub of starless space approximately one million kilometers across, with more than 1,300 other rings, each with a star system on the other side. In the center of the hub, which is also referred to as the "slow zone", an alien space station controls the gates and can also set instantaneous speed limits on objects inside of the hub as a means of defense.
The story is told through multiple main point-of-view characters. There are two POV characters in the first book and four in books 2 through 5. In the sixth and seventh books, the number of POV characters increases, with several characters having only one or two chapters. Tiamat's Wrath returns to a more limited number with five. Every book also begins and ends with a prologue and epilogue told from a unique character's perspective.

Prelude
James Holden and his crew on the salvaged Martian warship Rocinante played a role in two major events in human history: saving the Earth from the first direct proof of alien technology discovered in our solar system, and saving as many people as they could when a new form of the technology appeared on Jupiter’s moon Ganymede. As part of the first incident, the alien technology crashed on Venus, where it churned for months doing something unknown while the solar system watched. When complete, the semi-intelligent collection of chemicals flew away from Venus and built what could best be described as a Stargate, called "The Ring", beyond the orbit of Uranus.
Major character arcs
James Holden and his crew have been successful in their ship-for-hire business, cashing in on their celebrity and Rocinante’s power when needed. As the solar system prepares to mount its first large-scale exploration of the ring, Holden’s interaction with the alien consciousness in the form of an old friend named Miller convinces him that he wants to be as far away from the ring as possible. Greater forces have other plans, however, and the crew finds themselves at the ring with fleets of Earth, Mars, and Outer Planets Alliance (OPA) ships.
Clarissa Mao, younger sister of Juliette "Julie" Andromeda Mao and daughter of Jules-Pierre Mao, who was president of the multi-planet corporation "Mao-Kwikowski Mercantile" also known as "Mao-Kwik". Jules-Pierre was part of various conspiring organisations, all of whom wanted to use the protomolecule for profit. He was brought down by James Holden in the events that occurred during and after the near-destruction of the Ganymede colony, a major food supplier for the outer planets of the belt. The "Mao-Kwik" corporation was also destroyed by Jules-Pierre's actions and left the Mao family only a fraction of their former wealth. Clarissa wants revenge for the disgrace brought onto her family and the downfall of her father, for which she blames James Holden. She wants to discredit him publicly to redeem her father and plans to kill Holden afterwards. She has spent her entire fortune to change her identity and put the wheels of her plan in motion. Now pretending to be an electrochemical technician named "Melba Koh", she sets out to get her revenge in a well-planned scheme. She places a saboteur on the Rocinante, then hijacks the ship's communications system to send a faked 'Jim Holden broadcast' in which an animated image of Holden claims the alien-protomolecule-ring for the OPA and responsibility for the sabotage and near-destruction of the UNN Earth vessel Seung Un. The scheme to get Holden discredited and then killed fails, because Holden decides to avoid all hostilities with the other flotillas and chooses to enter the ring instead. Even after capture, Clarissa remains dangerous.
Carlos “Bull” de Baca is a former warfighter and friend to Fred Johnson. He’s given the job of third in command of the 'Behemoth', formerly known as the Generation Ship Nauvoo, which the OPA salvaged and repurposed as a warship. Not only is Bull absolutely loyal to Fred, he also is the most likely of the command crew to secure the mission's success, which is why Fred asks Bull to “make it work”. When Clarissa triggers her faked broadcast of James Holden, in which he claims responsibility for the sabotage of the Seung Un and to being ordered to do so by the OPA, Bull understands all the implications. He also understands that all of the human governments need to stand united in facing the alien ring and the possible threat coming from it. In order to avoid another open shooting war/battle among Mars, Earth, and the OPA at all costs, he convinces the Behemoth's captain that being the first to take hostile action against the Rocinante will stop the Behemoth from being seen as Holden's backup, and distance the OPA from Holden's statement about 'claiming the ring' for them. After the Behemoth fires a Torpedo at the Rocinante, the other flotillas join by also targeting Holden's ship - forcing him to travel into the ring as an attempt to escape.
Annushka “Anna“ Volovodov is a Methodist pastor from Europa who joined the expedition as part of a UN delegation of religious figures and artists selected to witness the start of a new epoch of human history. Her ship joins others following Rocinante into the gate, and she tries to pull fragile strings of common interest together against the gales of politics, self-interest, and madness driving others in the expedition.
Miller’s consciousness continues on in disembodied form, now part of the vast protomolecule matrix and used for his investigative capabilities. Talking to and trying to work with James Holden, he has limited insight into the actions taken by the gate, and knows there is a vast tapestry of opportunity and danger associated with it and those who built it, because someone destroyed them.
Reception
Abaddon's Gate won the 2014 Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel.
Abaddon's Gate was adapted into episodes 7 to 13 of the third season of the television series The Expanse in 2018, with its title taken for the final episode of that season. It was the last book in the series to be adapted before the show's move from Syfy to Amazon Prime.
