Since I was a high student, I knew that our atmosphere, when we use a telescope to look into the universe, could make us see things that are not really out there, but are part of the atmosphere, because of the physical characteristics of light, when it strikes against matter.

(Like the pink panther’s astronomer ?) What fantastic things did you see Carlos ? how can you know it was not “really out there” ?

Poor astronomer. He was a regular Gallileo – his detractors would not even look through his telescope.

I agree with LethalTeapot. Methinks Carlos is a Poe.

But aren’t we all institutionalized already? Most of us belong to one institute or another…keeps us off the streets.

Seriously, all the kids in our house 4-40, love pink panther.

My favorite is the part where Pink Panther is falling with his house and is free floating, they got that mostly right.

The part I liked best was how quickly the astronomer was institutionalized after announcing a bogus result.

And his firing was front page news.

Kinda similar to some shorts with Marvin the Martian. Also elements of that classic Michigan J. Frog character in One Froggy Evening.

I grew up with this material and it’s great fun revisiting it!

lol, Carlos…you have a great sense of humour…it’s amazing how people think you’re serious no matter what you’re saying, as long as you pretend you are Christian. However, I’m not sure Discover appreciates stunts like that.

Anyway, I love your vision of Armageddon. “There will be a moment when the planet will start rotating out of balance, and doing a sigzag movement in its orbit around the sun” [chuckle] Will it eventually start doing a celestial can-can with all the other planets? Oh, wait, there /aren’t/ any other planets (LOL).

Also, very creative typos. And I agree, The Pink Panter Is Always Right. Rest thy faith in him, and thou shalt be saved.

8-20-2009–4:45–PMET—Julianne, I thank you so very much for your advise. I do understand. I am very concerned over these issues because of my oun findings, but I am not worried about those opinions. There are no more blinded persons than those who don’t want to see beyond their noses and in-between lines. Events, and not time will be the best witness.
Please keep in touch with me……

Thank you…

Carlos — I appreciate that these are issues you have thought about, and about which you seem to care deeply. However, we do not really run the blog as a discussion forum for individuals’ unique theories of the cosmos. There are other sites that would be far more appropriate for discussing your views in depth.
