Strobe-Light
ballet
 Form
and motion in the human body. In high school my
drama teacher had a cool book. A series of photos like the
one above, illustrating the motion-over-time of dancing
and other activities. I find it fascinating because this
is a more accurate picture of what we are than the micro-slice
of "now" that we see - this is how we look across
time..

 "Light-Echo"
from an Exploding Star
NASA image
Imagine a camera-flash in space ... it's an expanding sphere
of light.
In this photo
we have a star which has exploded. We are seeing the light-burst
traveling outwards in all directions as it illuminates dust
and gas previously blown-off by the star.
Size comprehension -
our entire Solar System would fit easily inside the red aura
around the star, look again at the dates on the images and
remember that light travels at roughly 186,000 miles
per second and these pics span 6 months at that speed !!!! |
yes ... no ... Yes ...... do not be alarmed
they are the SWINGING
LOVE CORPSES and they are the ULTIMATE cosmic rock &
roll band ...
the
band that saved the entire universe from instant destruction
on more than one occasion !

| I
bet this cat-resuscitation process would look cool
seen as time-lapse, like the ballet photo above.
Sure, it looks abusive - but it could come in handy
if your kitty is drowning. |
Scientists
make a Frog levitate with superconducting ceramics.
It is possible to magnetically levitate every
material and any living creature due to the always
present molecular magnetism. |

WEIRD ILLUSTRATION
from
the 1400 to 1600's or so, maybe older. What the friggin'
heck is going on here? UPDATE: I got a
nice email explaining this one:
" have a basic knowledge and huge interest in Alchemical
Symbolism and some research led a very learned man by the
name of Adam Mclean to email me with the following information
about the above image;
"This is an engraving from Kircher, Athanasius. China
Monumentis, Amsterdam 1667.
It
is Kircher's imagining of a Buddhist icon, which he calls
the idol of Pussa. Of course, it draws more on the European
emblem tradition than on any real encounter with Eastern
imagery."
Mr Mclean has an amazing website and other links, which
you may or may not like to add to your fantastic collection
(my apologies if you already have);

thanks to "Carla" for the information!

SUN
RA Live in the 1960s ... He always had
the coolest 'headgear', we call the twisted coat-hangers
on his head the 'cosmic antenna' |
Don't
know if that's what was intended,
but this looks a lot like what a Cluster
Headache feels like (a bit like a hot-poker in the eye) |
