Chronobiology Chronobiology is a field of science that examines periodic (cyclic) phenomena in living organisms and their adaptation to solar and lunar related rhythms.[1] These cycles are known as biological rhythms. “Chrono” pertains to time and “biology” pertains to the study, or science, of life. The related terms chronomics and chronome have been used in …

topic: can humans perceive the flow of time differently due to spacetime distortions at perihelion. Is this a phenomena of consciousness to perceive time differently at various proximities to the solar mass? thought experiment; given what you know about how time is bent by gravitational space-time distortions, doesn’t it make sense that time is warped …
This information may be the most important regarding my hypothesis of a connection between Perihelion and the structure of the ancient calendars. It made me rethink my approach but ultimately I arrived at the same conclusions, Those are to be published in my next blog posting that will sum it up. https://youtu.be/m6lMGoZTJnc
Could Mercury going retrograde be affecting you. Astrologers and new age devotees will claim it has an effect on behavior. However as an rational scientist could tell it is just an optical illusion. Perihelion is an actual phenomena, not an optical illusion. The Perihelion, an actual planetary phenomena, is unknown or accounted for amongst the …
In 1922 Alexander Chizhevsky a young Belarusian scientist, unveiled to the world a preposterous theory: that all the great upheavals in the history of man, such as social unrest, war, and revolution, were caused by the activity of the sun. These extraordinary claims, contained in his first book, Physical Factors of the Historical Process, were greeted with near …

From 1948 to 1997, the Institute of North Industrial Ecology Problems in Russia found that geomagnetic activity showed three seasonal peaks each of those years (March to May, in July, and in October). Every peak matched an increased incidence of anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and suicide in the city Kirovsk. One explanation for the correlation …
Nature, which is never not lavish of herself, after a lying-in of two thousand years, has finally brought you forth in these last generations, the first true images of the universe. By means of your concords of various voices, and through your ears, she has whispered to the human mind, the favorite daughter of God …
Elliptical orbit The AU is the average distance from the Earth to the sun. Earth makes a complete revolution around the sun every 365.25 days — one year. However, Earth’s orbit is not a perfect circle; it is shaped more like an oval, or an ellipse. Over the course of a year, Earth moves sometimes closer to the …
The Earth orbits the sun at a speed of about 18.4 miles per second or about 66,600 mph. The energy required to stop the Earth orbiting the sun then is about 2.6478 × 1033 joules or 7.3551 × 1029 watt hours or 6.3285*1017 megatons of TNT. For reference, the largest nuclear explosion ever detonated (the Tsar Bomba by …
There is a way to generate the ephemeris, but it is slightly involved. The website to use is https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons.cgi which is maintained by JPL. There are a lot of options that need to be set to generate the ephemeris. First, click on “Target Body”. Then, search for “sun” and select it. The default “Observer location” …

How do astronomers calculate the distance of the Sun from the Earth, or the actual size of the Sun, or the speed of travel of Earth in its orbit around the Sun? Clearly, from an answer to one of these questions one can find out the answers to the others. But how do we …
