THEORIES
01
Ancient Civilizations
There are many theories surrounding who designed the ancient structures, but my conjecture is that they were built through the hard work and intellect of the smartest slaves, perhaps the forefathers of the tribes of Israel. Another theory suggests there was a highly intelligent race of humanoids that either died out or bred into the general human population, thousands of years before Moses led the tribes out of Egypt. The stronger slaves likely handled the physical labor while the most intelligent among them handled the design.
All scholars agree that the earlier structures were built with far greater precision and intelligence than the later ones. The construction required hundreds of years of work, including the building and eventual dismantling of enormous ramps used to move each stone into place.
Some believe that a higher intelligence, possibly artificial, aided in the design of these structures and passed down the specific mathematics required to build them. Others believe the pyramids were purpose built as landing beacons for aircraft, or as a guide for mankind toward a higher level of enlightenment. A rough translation of those teachings may have eventually become the Ten Commandments given to Moses.
It is possible that this knowledge was lost over time through war, famine, or simply a failure to document it properly. Perhaps the scribes were preoccupied with other things. This kind of knowledge loss can happen in any culture or time period, the same way quality deteriorates when humans begin to mass produce. Compare the design of a Victorian house to a modern housing development and you will see exactly what I mean.

Astrology and Astronomy Unification
Astronomy is the scientific study of stars. Astrology is the study of how the positions of stars relate to human moods and emotions. I set out to unify the two.
There are two ways to approach it: one through physics and scientific correlation, the other through psychology, surveys, and statistics.
The scientific theory begins with a simple assumption: we are receiving signals from distant stars, not unlike the way a cell phone receives signals from a satellite or a car antenna picks up radio waves from a distant tower. The question was what kind of signals. The answer is neutrinos. Neutrinos pass through planets undisturbed and uniformly, which means the signals arrive unaltered regardless of where on Earth you are.
The next question was what serves as our antenna. After significant research I concluded that our DNA is the antenna, or more precisely, a harmonic resonator of neutrinos. Many harmonic resonators share cylindrical or spiral shapes similar to DNA. A pipe organ is a cylinder that resonates sound waves. A guitar pickup uses coiled wire around a magnet to capture and amplify sound. Rather than the traditional view of DNA as a preprogrammed chip that determines personality, I propose that DNA is a receiver for signals from distant stars, and that the positions of those stars alter the way we feel and act.
Think of it like satellite reception. When a satellite is positioned just right you get a strong clear signal. As it moves, the signal weakens or changes. Our birth works similarly to a computer being shipped with a specific operating system already installed. Depending on the position of the stars at the moment of birth, our operating system is established. Every person born under the same star alignment shares similar personality traits that follow them through life. As the alignment shifts, updates occur, each with their own strengths, weaknesses, and glitches.
I worked out the canonical equations of a harmonic resonator using the neutrino wavelength and DNA radius, and it checks out. These signals can be received.
The psychological approach is more straightforward. A well designed survey could prove the correlation between astronomical positions and astrological traits. Participants would answer a series of questions designed to identify personality patterns, and those patterns would be compared against their zodiac signs.
Here is a preliminary example: say you get overcharged at a restaurant by three dollars. Do you take the Cancer approach and let it go to avoid confrontation, or do you take the Aries approach and argue with the manager over three dollars? Simple questions like this, asked in multiple ways, could reveal meaningful correlations across a large population. That data could be genuinely useful to future generations.

A Band Aid Approach to Global Warming
We know the long term solutions: solar, wind, nuclear if made safer, and a move away from fossil fuels. But we need short term solutions to buy time while those get implemented. Here are a few of mine.
Solar Umbrella
The simplest way to bring down global temperatures quickly would be a space sun shade, essentially a large umbrella orbiting the Earth. Its primary purpose would be to block sunlight over the polar ice caps, slowing their melting and helping them regain ice. Some scientists are already exploring the idea of mounting solar panels on the sunshade to generate electricity, though getting that electricity back down to Earth presents its own challenges.
Plugging Carbon Seeps
As ice sheets melt, ancient swamps are being exposed and releasing methane into the atmosphere. The space sunshade could slow the thawing of arctic regions and reduce this seepage. On the man-made side, oil drilling has long caused methane to leak into the air, and the industry is slowly realizing it needs solutions. Some involve physical barriers like concrete or plastic to trap the gas. Ironically, the same companies polluting the Earth with oil may end up leading the effort to capture methane, if only because they can turn around and sell it. A byproduct of greed occasionally solving a problem it created.
Downsizing the Human Race
Some have proposed more extreme solutions, including the genetic modification of humans and animals to reduce their carbon footprints over time. If the world's governments could agree to gradually reduce human size over the next hundred years, all of our emissions would shrink proportionally. Smaller people, smaller vehicles, smaller everything. Imagine matchbox cars with real motors. Imagine a one foot drone carrying hundreds of passengers. Imagine armies crawling into ant holes to avoid a nuclear blast. Resources would become abundant. People would still find things to fight over, they always do, but the scale of the damage would be considerably smaller. For reference on the bug problem, see the film Downsizing.
04
The Bermuda Triangle
Scientists have detected methane bubbling up from the ocean floor around the Bermuda Triangle. These methane bubbles reduce water density, causing ships to sink into them. When they rise into the air they create pockets of lower air density that can send planes into sudden nosedives. The mystery of the missing ships and aircraft in that region is no longer much of a mystery.
05
Conventional Contributors
Carbon dioxide is the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, driven primarily by oil, gas, and coal. Less known is that cement production is the second largest contributor. Deforestation makes things worse through forest fires and the loss of trees that would otherwise absorb carbon. The flames coming out of industrial smokestacks are called flaring, and they are pumping carbon into the atmosphere constantly.
Methane is the second biggest greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide. It comes from fracking, oil drilling, livestock, food waste in landfills, wastewater decomposition, and rice cultivation. There are also natural methane seeps from swamps and the ocean floor. Scientists are working on ways to capture and use that methane before it reaches the atmosphere.
Nitrous oxide is the third largest contributor, driven mainly by meat and fertilizer production. And here is one most people do not think about: the production of computer chips and electronics also generates gases that contribute to global warming. Even the manufacturing of wind turbines and solar panels creates some harmful emissions in the process. Most scientists consider these negligible compared to the benefits, and as the technology improves that gap will only widen.
Planting more trees is one of the simplest solutions available and remains chronically underaddressed. Electric vehicles are improving steadily, though the charging infrastructure still relies on fossil fuels in many places.
The United Nations attempted to address carbon emissions through the Paris Accord, an agreement that assigns each nation a carbon limit. Countries that exceed their limit can purchase credits from countries that produce less. The idea is that the Earth has a finite carbon budget, and heavier consumers should be taxed more heavily for exceeding their share. The agreement has not been fully ratified. More can be found by researching climate change mitigation.
