Studying astrophysically relevant plasma physics

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/studying-astrophysically-relevant-plasma-physics/

Studying astrophysically relevant plasma physics

Thomas Varnish loves his hobbies — knitting, baking, pottery — it’s a long list. His latest interest is analog film photography. A picture with his mother and another with his boyfriend are just a few of Varnish’s favorites. “These moments of human connection are the ones I like,” he says.

Varnish’s love of capturing a fleeting moment on film translates to his research when he conducts laser interferometry on plasmas using off-the-shelf cameras. At the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering, the third-year doctoral student studies various facets of astrophysically relevant fundamental plasma physics under the supervision of Professor Jack Hare.

It’s an area of research that Varnish arrived at organically.

A childhood fueled by science

Growing up in Warwickshire, England, Varnish fell in love with lab experiments as a middle-schooler after joining the science club. He remembers graduating from the classic egg-drop experiment to tracking the trajectory of a catapult, and eventually building his own model electromagnetic launch system. It was a set of electromagnets and sensors spaced along a straight track that could accelerate magnets and shoot them out the end. Varnish demonstrated the system by using it to pop balloons. Later, in high school, being a part of the robotics club team got him building a team of robots to compete in RoboCup, an international robot soccer competition. Varnish also joined the astronomy club, which helped seed an interest in the adjacent field of astrophysics.

Varnish moved on to Imperial College London to study physics as an undergraduate but he was still shopping around for definitive research interests. Always a hands-on science student, Varnish decided to give astronomy instrumentation a whirl during a summer school session in Canada.

However, even this discipline didn’t quite seem to stick until he came upon a lab at Imperial conducting research in experimental astrophysics. Called MAGPIE (The Mega Ampere Generator for Plasma Implosion Experiments), the facility merged two of Varnish’s greatest loves: hands-on experiments and astrophysics. Varnish eventually completed an undergraduate research opportunity (UROP) project at MAGPIE under the guidance of Hare, his current advisor, who was then a postdoc at the MAGPIE lab at Imperial College.

Part of Varnish’s research for his master’s degree at Imperial involved stitching together observations from the retired Herschel Space Telescope to create the deepest far-infrared image ever made by the instrument. The research also used statistical techniques to understand the patterns of brightness distribution in the images and to trace them to specific combinations of galaxy occurrences. By studying patterns in the brightness of a patch of dark sky, Varnish could discern the population of galaxies in the region.

Move to MIT

Varnish followed Hare (and a dream of studying astrophysics) to MIT, where he primarily focuses on plasma in the context of astrophysical environments. He studies experimental pulsed-power-driven magnetic reconnection in the presence of a guide field.

Key to Varnish’s experiments is a pulsed-power facility, which is essentially a large capacitor capable of releasing a significant surge of current. The electricity passes through (and vaporizes) thin wires in a vacuum chamber to create a plasma. At MIT, the facility currently being built at the Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC) by Hare’s group is called: PUFFIN (PUlser For Fundamental (Plasma Physics) INvestigations).

In a pulsed-power facility, tiny cylindrical arrays of extremely thin metal wires usually generate the plasma. Varnish’s experiments use an array in which graphite leads, the kind used in mechanical pencils, replace the wires. “Doing so gives us the right kind of plasma with the right kind of properties we’d like to study,” Varnish says. The solution is also easy to work with and “not as fiddly as some other methods.” A thicker post in the middle completes the array. A pulsed current traveling down the array vaporizes the thin wires into a plasma. The interactions between the current flowing through the plasma and the generated magnetic field pushes the plasma radially outward. “Each little array is like a little exploding bubble of magnetized plasma,” Varnish says. He studies the interaction between the plasma flows at the center of two adjacent arrays.

Studying plasma behavior

The plasma generated in these pulsed-power experiments is stable only for a few hundred nanoseconds, so diagnostics have to take advantage of an extremely short sampling window. Laser interferometry, which images plasma density, is Varnish’s favorite. In this technique, a camera takes a picture of a split laser beam, one arm of which encounters the plasma and one that doesn’t. The arm that hits the plasma produces an interference pattern when the two arms are recombined. Capturing the result with a camera allows researchers to infer the structure of the plasma flows.

Another diagnostic method involves placing tiny loops of metal wire in the plasma (called B-dots), which record how the magnetic field in the plasma changes in time. Yet another way to study plasma physics is using a technique called Faraday rotation, which measures the twisting of polarized light as it passes through a magnetic field. The net result is an “image map of magnetic fields, which is really quite incredible,” Varnish says.

These diagnostic techniques help Varnish research magnetic reconnection, the process by which plasma breaks and reforms magnetic fields. It’s all about energy redistribution, Varnish says, and is particularly relevant because it creates solar flares. Varnish studies how having not-perfectly-opposite magnetic field lines might affect the reconnection process.

Most research in plasma physics can be neatly explained by the principles of magnetohydrodynamics, but the phenomena observed in Varnish’s experiments need to be explained with additional theories. Using pulsed power enables studies over longer length scales and time periods than in other experiments, such as laser-driven ones. Varnish is looking forward to working on simulations and follow-up experiments on PUFFIN to study these phenomena under slightly different conditions, which might shed new light on the processes.

At the moment, Varnish’s focus is on programming the control systems for PUFFIN so he can get it up and running. Part of the diagnostics system involves ensuring that the facility will deliver the plasma-inducing currents needed and perform as expected.

Aiding LGBTQ+ efforts

When not working on PUFFIN or his experiments, Varnish serves as co-lead of an LGBTQ+ affinity group at the PSFC, which he set up with a fellow doctoral student. The group offers a safe space for LGBTQ+ scientists and meets for lunch about once a month. “It’s been a nice bit of community building, and I think it’s important to support other LGBTQ+ scientists and make everyone feel welcome, even if it’s just in small ways,” Varnish says, “It has definitely helped me to feel more comfortable knowing there’s a handful of fellow LGBTQ+ scientists at the center.”

Varnish has his hobbies going. One of his go-to bakes is a “rocky road,” a British chocolate bar that mixes chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers. His research interests, too, are a delicious concoction mixed together: “the intersection of plasma physics, laboratory astrophysics, astrophysics (the won’t-fit-in-a-lab kind), and instrumentation.”

Uncovering the Suppressed Truth: Has Humanity's Ancient Past Been Erased by Cosmic Powers?

Uncovering the Suppressed Truth: Has Humanity's Ancient Past Been Erased by Cosmic Powers?

For millennia, the story of human civilization has been told as a linear progression: from primitive hunter-gatherers to the sophisticated societies we inhabit today. Yet, lurking beneath the surface of official history and popular belief is a profound and unsettling anomaly.

If modern Homo Sapiens emerged at least 200,000 years ago, as archaeological and anthropological evidence suggests, where did the vast expanse of their early history vanish? Why does the archaeological record show a startling leap in cultural complexity – the Upper Paleolithic, typically associated with our species – only appearing a mere 50,000 to 40,000 years ago? And how did humanity, originating from a single point in Africa, seemingly explode across every continent with such bewildering speed?

This gaping chasm in our recorded past begs critical questions that mainstream academia often struggles to address. Consider the intellectual capacity of our earliest ancestors: while they possessed far less accumulated knowledge than we do now, their cognitive abilities were remarkably similar to modern humans. Despite the absence of formal schooling, knowledge has always been transmitted across generations, passed down through oral traditions, legends, and cautionary tales. The very capacity for articulate speech, crucial for complex information transfer, is believed to have developed in early Homo species between 1.7 to 2 million years ago. Even Neanderthals, our ancient cousins, possessed distinct speech capabilities. So, how can we reconcile an evolutionary timeline spanning 200,000 years with our species’ seemingly abrupt leap from rudimentary existence to space travel in just a single century?

The Echoes of Lost Civilizations: A Sinusoidal Saga?

The staggering 200,000-year timeline for human existence appears disproportionately long when viewed through the lens of our current technological acceleration. Scientific consensus, surprisingly, often suggests that a mere 30,000 years might be sufficient for a species like ours to evolve, develop complex societies, and spread across the planet. This begs a tantalizing question: if that estimation holds true, could humanity have given rise to over six advanced civilizations, similar to our own, during that colossal historical vacuum? The high probability of their existence, and their subsequent disappearance, sends shivers down the spine.

Consider the Sumerian civilization, whose early dynastic stage unfurled approximately 5,000 years ago in the 28th century BC. Their later achievements bespoke a highly developed society. The city-state of Babylon, for instance, boasted a population of 150,000 people and a formidable 97 kilometers of fortress wall by the 24th century BC. These ancient cultures cultivated sophisticated sciences, advanced medicine, and intricate astronomical knowledge, constructing towering ziggurats as high as 90 meters. How then, could humanity descend from the architectural and intellectual heights of Babylon to the squalid, plague-ridden, and frankly “miserable, dirty, smelly, vile hole” that was medieval Europe by the 10th century AD? This dramatic oscillation, this bizarre “sinusoidal” pattern of human development, defies conventional historical explanation.

The Anunnaki Hypothesis: Architects of Our Destiny or Overseers of Our Downfall?

Perhaps the answer lies not in terrestrial regression, but in extraterrestrial intervention. Could the enigmatic Anunnaki, figures woven into the very fabric of Sumerian mythology, be responsible for this perplexing historical rollercoaster? What if human development surges when their home world is distant, only to plunge into darkness and reset when this “wandering world” approaches ours, bringing these “alien gods” back to Earth? The chilling implication is that these cosmic visitors intentionally suppress our advancement, ensuring humanity never reaches a level where it could truly compete with them.

Alternatively, or perhaps concurrently, what if human civilization itself possesses a self-destructive gene? What if, upon reaching a certain technological zenith – imagine our current reliance on complex AI and digital infrastructure – a cataclysmic event or internal folly forces a reset? Those who survive such an apocalypse might find themselves utterly unable to comprehend or reactivate the remnants of our current knowledge. Imagine a future survivor staring blankly at an inert computer, utterly devoid of the understanding needed to even turn it on. The loss would be absolute.

Intriguingly, the period of this “wandering world’s” revolution is said to be 3,600 Earth years. According to some reports, this colossal celestial object is anticipated to re-enter our solar system around 2080. What fate, then, awaits humanity when these ancient cycles inevitably repeat?

The Pentagon’s Whispers: Are the Anunnaki Truly Returning?

The narrative deepens with a startling claim from a man with alleged insider Pentagon sources. According to Stan Deyo, a persistent “buzzword” within the hallowed halls of the Pentagon suggests that the very Sumerian Gods, the Anunnaki, are preparing for their return to Earth. This unsettling assertion aligns uncannily with observations of two celestial objects that have recently captivated astronomical attention: comets ISON and Encke.

One must question the seemingly arbitrary naming conventions. The word “on,” for instance, resonates profoundly with “An,” pronounced “on,” as in Anunnaki, and their revered leader, Anu (pronounced “ON-nu”). Furthermore, the prefix for ISON, “IS,” aligns directly with Isis, a mythical figure often equated with the Sumerian Goddess Inanna and Ishtar. Thus, breaking down ISON into “IS + ON” eerily spells out “Ishtar, of the Anunnaki.” Comet Encke offers an even more direct connection for those immersed in Anunnaki lore: Enki, pronounced “En-ki,” was a pivotal Sumerian God, later known as Ea (a name strikingly similar to “Earth”). Enki was revered as the deity of crafts, mischief, water, intelligence, and creation. Are these mere coincidences, or subtle nods to a deeper, concealed truth?

The Western Sky Enigma: A Star or a Spaceship?

Adding to the intrigue is a celestial anomaly that has captivated observers across the globe: a mysterious “UFO” currently visible in the western skies. Mobile astronomy applications like SkEye and Stellarium confirm that no major stars or planets are currently positioned in this particular region of the sky, rendering the anomaly truly unidentified.

While some speculate this object could be a benign Pleiadian or Arcturian vessel, the possibility of it being the vanguard of the returning Anunnaki remains a chilling consideration. Countless global reports and videos attest to this UFO’s baffling ability to change color and size, even revealing various sacred geometry shapes and intermittently shifting hues. If this celestial mystery is indeed the Anunnaki’s harbinger, one can expect immediate governmental obfuscation. A new, fabricated “star” will likely appear on our astronomical applications, serving as a convenient cover-up, meticulously designed to conceal the profound truth: we are not alone in this galaxy, nor this universe. For many, this reality will prove too much to bear; others will cling to denial. But for those capable of looking beyond the rigid confines of accepted paradigms, all possibilities exist, free from fear or apprehension.

Unraveling the Systems of Control: From Ancient Texts to Modern Tyranny

Governments, by their very nature, rarely offer us unfiltered truth, often burying crucial information under the convenient pretexts of “confidentiality” or “security risks.” It is therefore entirely plausible that most world governments possess foreknowledge of the Anunnaki’s impending return, yet remain terrified of revealing it to the public. Such a revelation, they fear, would inevitably collapse the existing economic slave systems and dismantle the world religions as we know them, fundamentally altering the very fabric of global power.

A thought-provoking excerpt from the Christian Bible, King James Version, invites deeper scrutiny. Genesis 1:26 famously states: “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…” This plural pronoun raises a crucial question: if there is but one singular God, why does the text not read, “Let Me make man in My own image”? Is it conceivable that the Bible itself, meticulously crafted and refined over centuries – notably with the King James Version being edited by the 33rd-degree Freemason Sir Francis Bacon, whose order’s motto is “ordo ab chao” (order out of chaos) – was designed as a sophisticated tool for human control through fear? After all, the very essence of religion, like government, often revolves around subservience, control, and conformity.

The Gold Slaves and the All-Seeing Eye: A Legacy of Manipulation?

Sumerian tales paint a dramatic picture of cosmic familial strife. Enki, the rebel deity, reportedly defied his father Anu, choosing to love humanity, the very beings Anu intended for servitude. Their conflict, a war that has allegedly raged ever since, echoes through millennia. Anu, one of the primary “creator gods,” is said to have deliberately manipulated our DNA, engineering humanity to be diligent slave workers, toiling in the Earth’s mines to extract precious gold for the Anunnaki’s use.

This chilling narrative prompts a compelling question: could this ancient agenda explain the Roman Catholic Church’s staggering accumulation of gold? With some sources estimating its holdings at a colossal 60,350 metric tonnes, the sheer volume of this precious metal within a religious institution is certainly noteworthy. Furthermore, the ubiquitous “all-seeing eye” atop the pyramid on the back of the US Dollar bill frequently triggers speculation. Is it merely a Masonic symbol, or could it represent the very entities – the Anunnaki – who have allegedly maintained humanity as economic slaves for thousands of years, pulling the strings of our financial systems from behind a veiled curtain?

The Awakening: Reclaiming Our DNA and Our Destiny

Regardless of how these profound mysteries ultimately unfold, a significant shift is undeniably underway. People across the globe are awakening to the pervasive tyranny and systemic oppression embedded within governmental structures. There’s a growing realization that our current modes of life, sustained by fiat currency and a deeply entrenched economic slave system, are fundamentally unsustainable.

A mere few thousand world leaders, it is argued, currently perpetuate this economic enslavement, while knowingly allowing the widespread pollution of our water, air, and food supplies. Meanwhile, the mainstream media relentlessly deploys fear as a potent tool, churning out state-sponsored propaganda designed to maintain the status quo.

Yet, there is immense power in unity. Humanity possesses the collective capacity to transcend this engineered reality, and it could literally happen overnight. But first, the vast majority of the “bottom of the pyramid” – all of us – must unite. We can no longer afford the corrosive divisions fueled by hatred of other countries, ethnicities, or races, for these engineered conflicts serve only to prevent our collective advancement as a single, interdependent civilization.

The Hopi prophecy resonates deeply with this burgeoning realization: “We are the ones we have been waiting for.” In other words, the power to fundamentally alter our reality resides inherently within us, requiring no benevolent intervention from the Anunnaki or any other supposed extraterrestrial race. But the first, most critical step, is to truly unite as a global community.

Nibiru Reimagined: A Planetary-Sized Spaceship?

Further “leaks” and speculative research suggest that the perception of Nibiru as a “destroyer” approaching Earth may be a profound misconception. Instead, a revolutionary theory posits Nibiru as not a wandering planet, but a colossal interstellar spacecraft of exorbitant dimensions. This immense artificial construct, built and positioned as a “planet” around our binary star (currently residing in the Kuiper Belt), functions as a divine “ax” or instrument of punishment and judgment, powered by two solar energy systems. Larger than Earth and equipped with “timeless” technology spanning millions of years, its operational lifespan is considered endless.

This cosmic leviathan is not merely capable of attacking or punishing planets; it can reportedly alter their orbits and inclinations, or even transform them entirely. It supposedly commands an incredible array of energies, lasers, and functions, meticulously developed and incorporated throughout its vast history of travel. Furthermore, it boasts universal communication systems and specialized espionage units, complete with Star Trek-like camouflage capabilities. While its orbital period is often cited as 3,600 years, even this may not be a fixed constant.

Onboard this titanic vessel, the Anunnaki are said to reside, alongside a vast menagerie of diverse aliens and humanoids from across our universe: reptilian, insectoid, gray, Pleiadian, Sirian, Arcturian, and countless others. It’s speculated that this cosmic ark represents a living collection of all life forms and technologies encountered throughout our solar system and beyond. Nibiru, in this radical interpretation, is depicted as something akin to the “Death Star” from Star Wars, yet not inherently malevolent. Its purpose, rather, is to execute its design: to patrol and monitor our sector of the cosmos.

Many ancient religions, in their veneration of “God” or “the Lord,” may have, in fact, been referring to Nibiru – the very home or source of their belief systems. This colossal spacecraft also reportedly functions as an interplanetary “United Nations,” a forum for the discussion and resolution of intergalactic conflicts, commanding immense power, fear, and respect throughout the cosmos. This revolutionary concept profoundly challenges the notion of wandering planets, which are scientifically inconsistent due to constant gravitational interference, and certainly cannot be manipulated at will.

The Tablets of Destiny: The Anunnaki’s Stolen Wisdom and Cosmic Control

In the rich tapestry of Sumerian mythology, the “Tablets of Destiny,” or “Tablets ME,” are not mere stone tablets. They are described as a cosmic computer library: a set of chips containing all information on war tactics, star maps, navigation routes, and crucially, the keys to activate or neutralize all Anunnaki spacecraft.

Upon their arrival on Earth, these “beings from heaven” initially established seven primary cities, strategically vital to Enlil’s mission on Earth. These cities, located in present-day Iraq between the Tigris and Euphrates, formed the region Sumerians called Edin – the likely etymological root of “Eden” in later cultures. Their first settlement, Eridu, meaning “Home away from home,” was commanded by Enki. The very name “Anunnaki” in Akkadian – “an-nu-na-ki” – translates to “fifty who descended to Earth from Heaven.”

Further cities rose: Bad-tibira (“bright place where the ore is finished”), commanded by Enlil’s son Nanna (“male moon god”). Enlil, upon being granted command of the Earth mission by Anu, dispatched his sons Nanna, Sin, and Ninurta, accompanied by Ninhursag, his stepsister, mistress, and Ninurta’s mother. It was in Bad-tibira that Ninurta had his twin sons, Shamash and Ishtar.

Next came Laraak, “seeing the bright glare,” a beacon city guiding space shuttles through a corridor of light, commanded by Ninurta. Sippar, the “bird city,” served as a critical spaceport for gold cargo, led by Shamash, “God of the sun and of justice.” Shurruppak, “the place of supreme well-being,” was the mission’s medical center, under Ninhursag’s guidance.

The sixth city, Nippur, “the terrestrial place of Nibiru,” functioned as the mission’s central control, commanded by Enlil himself. It housed the transmission center for communication with Nibiru and the orbiting Igigi shuttles. A bright chamber called Dirga, “the sacred one among the sacred ones,” atop a tower with multiple antennas named Dur-an-ki, “the sky-earth link,” served as this vital hub, as depicted in Sumerian representations. The seventh city, Lagash, “seeing the halo in six,” was the initial beacon guiding the flight route from Nibiru.

Crucially, in Nippur, specifically within Dirga, lay the immensely powerful “Me” tablets or “destiny tablets.” Numbering approximately 60 units, these were not merely ancient records, but an electronic library, a wellspring of vital Anunnaki information. These tablets held the keys to activating destructive weapons, controlling spacecraft, and directing any Anunnaki technological device. They were also a vast repository of knowledge in laws, decrees of governance, advanced technology, medicine, military techniques, defense methods, and even methods to subjugate populations – knowledge reserved exclusively for the Anunnaki elite.

The Myth of Zu: A Betrayal and a Cosmic Battle

Sumerian texts recount the dramatic “Myth of Zu,” involving an Anunnaki figure considered a demon from a different clan, Pazuzu, also known as Anzu (“He who knows the heavens”). Pazuzu’s origins are veiled in mystery, though Zecharia Sitchin suggested he was an orphan adopted by the Igigi, the Anunnaki who orbited Earth in space shuttles. The Igigi taught Pazuzu all the secrets of space and how to pilot their transport ships. Portrayed with a stylized body combining bird claws, eagle wings, and a lion-like head (with hints of reptilian features), Pazuzu was revered as the God of evil wind, storms, plagues, pests, and fevers.

The Igigi, growing restless from their long stays in space, named Pazuzu as their emissary to deliver their demands before Enlil, sending him to Nippur. Enlil, aware of the Igigi’s discontent and suspecting revolt – a narrative that birthed the myths of Titans, Great Astronauts, and Fallen Angels – took Pazuzu as a servant in Dirga, Nippur’s most sacred sanctuary, hoping to appease the Igigi. But Enlil was fatally betrayed. Pazuzu, seizing his opportunity, audacious ly stole the “Me” Tablets of Destiny, his ambition clear: to usurp Enlil’s reign.

“I will take the heavenly Tablet of Destinies. I will govern the decrees of the gods. I will establish my throne. I will be the master of the heavenly decrees. I will command the Igigi in space.”

Pazuzu fled to the Mountain of the Chambers of Heaven, the Hursak Mu. Immediately, alarms blared across the Anunnaki mission. Many Anunnaki devices, technologies, and knowledge systems were rendered useless. Fear gripped the mission and the Anunnaki population on Earth. The “Me” Tablets contained not only the orbits of planets but also the precise navigation coordinates for the Igigi ferries and the stellar routes for their starships.

“The divine formulas were suspended. The glowing light went out. The silence prevailed. In space, the Igigi were stunned. They had taken the shine of the sanctuary.”

Whoever possessed the “Me” tablets would control the heavens, the shipping routes to Nibiru, and command the Igigi. This was Pazuzu’s grand design: to seize control of all gold shipments and ascend as the new King on Earth.

Fear and darkness consumed the Anunnaki on Earth. Anu, the Great Sovereign of Nibiru, commanded Pazuzu’s capture and the retrieval of the “Me” Tablets of Destiny. Enlil summoned all Anunnaki warriors, but fear paralyzed them; Pazuzu had also stolen “Enlil’s Glitter,” a formidable weapon that reportedly rendered him twice as lethal, impenetrable, and as powerful as Enlil himself. Yet, the valiant Ninurta, Enlil’s son, bravely took the initiative. Arming his ship with the “Seven whirlwinds of wind that shake the dust” and a “Tiyu,” a potent projectile, Ninurta pursued the rogue deity.

Ninurta ultimately defeated Pazuzu and recovered the “Me” Tablets, thus restoring order to the Anunnaki mission. Pazuzu was sentenced to death and executed by Ninurta in a ritualistic ceremony, dressed as a bird to signify his Igigi origin. This served as a chilling warning to the remaining Igigi: Enlil remained the sole sovereign of the Mission and of Earth. For his bravery, Ninurta was greatly rewarded by Anu and Enlil, receiving new celestial crafts and weapons, including the deadliest armor of the Anunnaki, the “Ip,” a weapon reportedly with 50 heads that kill.

Pazuzu, once a powerful Anunnaki, was relegated to a mythological demon, a propagator of pests, elevated to the terrifying ranks of great creatures of the night like Lilith, a demoniac goddess notorious for stealing newborn babies to devour their blood. Paradoxically, despite this horrifying portrayal, the Sumerians themselves used the figure of Pazuzu as an amulet against sorcery and as a protective talisman against nocturnal demons that preyed on infants.

The Future Beckons: A Global Awakening

Some researchers propose that the Anunnaki must indeed return to Earth, not for destruction, but to “fix what they did wrong”—specifically, to reactivate our “junk DNA,” thereby accelerating the spiritual awakening and evolution of human consciousness. Stan Deyo’s Pentagon sources hint at this precise scenario: NASA and the Pentagon allegedly believe the Anunnaki’s return is imminent, coinciding with the arrival of the supposed Planet Nibiru.

Whether Nibiru is a planet or a dwarf star remains a matter of intense debate, but something is undeniably amiss in our solar system’s traditional models. It is highly plausible that the Anunnaki are already here, and that the impending “contact” will unfold in carefully managed stages. If these ancient gods indeed control us, their presence represents the greatest secret the Pentagon could possibly conceal.

According to Gregg Braden’s research, a mere 20 of our 64 DNA codons are currently “activated.” This raises a profound question: why would the “Source of creation” limit our genetic abilities by deactivating the majority of our DNA? The answer, some speculate, lies with the Anunnaki themselves. Our DNA was allegedly limited by them to maintain humanity in a state of submission, control, and conformity to their will. These beings, possessing knowledge of our true genetics, have potentially controlled us for millennia. Their purpose, it is believed, is to never lose control, governing through fear, exploiting the latent, fear-triggered factors within our DNA. They are, perhaps, far more powerful than the visible leaders we perceive as presidents and prime ministers. Researcher Simon Parkes goes further, suggesting we possess 12 strands of DNA, each linked to a specific galactic race, hinting at a far more complex cosmic lineage than we currently comprehend.

Regardless of how these revelations play out, a global awakening is undeniably underway. People are increasingly recognizing the tyranny and oppression inherent in all governments, realizing that our current ways of life – driven by fiat currency and a deeply entrenched economic slave system – are unsustainable. In total, a comparatively small number of world leaders may be perpetuating this economic servitude, simultaneously polluting our vital water, air, and food supplies. Meanwhile, the mainstream media relentlessly employs fear tactics and disseminates state-sponsored propaganda to maintain the status quo.

Yet, we possess the power to rise above this. Change could literally happen overnight if the “bottom of the pyramid” – all of us – unites. We must dismantle the manufactured hatred of other countries, ethnicities, and races, for these divisions are precisely what prevent us from advancing as a unified civilization. The Hopi prophecy resonates with compelling truth: “We are the ones we have been waiting for.” We hold the power to instigate change right now, without needing intervention from the Anunnaki or any other supposed benevolent extraterrestrial race. But first, we must unite as a truly global community, embracing the profound truth of our shared human story – a story that may be far more complex, and far more awe-inspiring, than we have ever dared to imagine.

Nuclear Power Renaissance with Molten Salts - Technology Org

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/nuclear-power-renaissance-with-molten-salts-technology-org/

Nuclear Power Renaissance with Molten Salts - Technology Org

A science team is reinventing nuclear energy systems via molten salt technologies.

A retro wonder gleaming white in the sun, propelled by six rear-facing rotors and four jet engines affixed to the longest wings ever produced for a combat aircraft, the Convair B-36 Peacemaker looks like it flew right out of a 1950s science fiction magazine.

One of these bombers, which flew over the American Southwest from 1955 to 1957, was unique. It bore the fan-like symbol for ionizing radiation on its tail. The NB-36H prototype was designed to be powered by a molten salt nuclear reactor — a lightweight alternative to a water-cooled reactor.

Nuclear-propelled aircraft like the NB-36H were intended to fly for weeks or months without stopping, landing only when the crew ran short of food and supplies. So what happened? Why weren’t the skies filled with these fantastical aircraft?

“The problem was that nuclear-powered airplanes are absolutely crazy,” says Per F. Peterson, the William S. Floyd and Jean McCallum Floyd Chair in Nuclear Engineering. “The program was canceled, but the large thermal power to low-weight ratio in molten salt reactors is the reason that they remain interesting today.”

Because of numerous concerns, including possible radioactive contamination in the event of a crash, the idea of nuclear-powered aircraft never took off. But nuclear submarines, using water as coolant, completely replaced their combustion-powered predecessors. Civilian reactors were built on the success of submarine systems, and as a result, most nuclear reactors today are cooled with water.

While most water-cooled reactors can safely and reliably generate carbon-free electricity for decades, they do present numerous challenges in terms of upfront cost and efficiency.

Molten salt reactors, like those first designed for nuclear-powered aircraft, address many of the inherent challenges with water-cooled reactors. The high-temperature reaction of such reactors could potentially generate much more energy than water-cooled reactors, hastening efforts to phase out fossil fuels.

Now, at the Department of Nuclear Engineering, multiple researchers, including Peterson, are working to revisit and reinvent molten salt technologies, paving the way for advanced nuclear energy systems that are safer, more efficient and cost-effective — and may be a key for realizing a carbon-free future.

Smaller, safer reactors

In the basement of Etcheverry Hall, there’s a two-inch-thick steel door that looks like it might belong on a bank vault. These days, the door is mostly left open, but for two decades it was the portal between the university and the Berkeley Research Reactor, used mainly for training. In 1966, the reactor first achieved a steady-state of nuclear fission.

Fission occurs when the nucleus of an atom absorbs a neutron and breaks apart, transforming itself into lighter elements. Radioactive elements like uranium naturally release neutrons, and a nuclear reactor harnesses that process.

Concentrated radioactive elements interact with neutrons, splitting themselves apart, shooting more neutrons around and splitting more atoms. This self-sustaining chain reaction releases immense amounts of energy in the form of radiation and heat. The heat is transferred to water that propels steam turbines that generate electricity.

The reactor in Etcheverry Hall is long gone, but the gymnasium-sized room now houses experiments designed to test cooling and control systems for molten salt reactors. Peterson demonstrated one of these experiments in August. The Compact Integral Effects Test (CIET) is a 30-foot-tall steel tower packed with twisting pipes.

The apparatus uses heat transfer oil to model the circulation of molten salt coolant between a reactor core and its heat exchange system. CIET is contributing extensively to the development of passive safety systems for nuclear reactors.

After a fission reaction is shut down, such systems allow for the removal of residual heat caused by radioactive decay of fission products without any electrical power — one of the main safety features of molten salt reactors.

The first molten salt reactor tested at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the 1950s was small enough to fit in an airplane, and the new designs being developed today are not much larger.

Conventional water-cooled reactors are comparatively immense — the energy-generating portion of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant in San Luis Obispo County occupies approximately 12 acres, and containment of feedwater is not the only reason why.

The core temperature in this type of reactor is usually kept at some 300 degrees Celsius, which requires 140 atmospheres of pressure to keep the water liquid. This need to pressurize the coolant means that the reactor must be built with robust, thick-walled materials, increasing both size and cost. Molten salts don’t require pressurization because they boil at much higher temperatures.

In conventional reactors, water coolant can boil away in an accident, potentially causing the nuclear fuel to meltdown and damage the reactor. Because the boiling point of molten salts are higher than the operational temperature of the reactor, meltdowns are extremely unlikely.

Even in the event of an accident, the molten salt would continue to remove heat without any need for electrical power to cycle the coolant — a requirement in conventional reactors.

“Molten salts, because they can’t boil away, are intrinsically appealing, which is why they’re emerging as one of the most important technologies in the field of nuclear energy,” says Peterson.

The big prize: efficiency

To fully grasp the potential benefits of molten salts, one has to visit the labs of the SALT Research Group. Raluca O. Scarlat, assistant professor of nuclear engineering, is the principal investigator for the group’s many molten salt studies.

Scarlat’s lab is filled with transparent gloveboxes filled with argon gas. Inside these gloveboxes, Scarlat works with many types of molten salts, including FLiBe, a mixture of beryllium and lithium fluoride. Her team aims to understand exactly how this variety of salt might be altered by exposure to a nuclear reactor core.

On the same day that Peterson demonstrated the CIET test, researchers in the SALT lab were investigating how much tritium (a byproduct of fission) beryllium fluoride could absorb.

Salts are ionic compounds, meaning that they contain elements that have lost electrons and other elements that have gained electrons, resulting in a substance that carries no net electric charge. Ionic compounds are very complex and very stable. They can absorb a large range of radioactive elements.

This changes considerations around nuclear waste, especially if the radioactive fuel is dissolved into the molten salt. Waste products could be electrochemically separated from the molten salts, reducing waste volumes and conditioning the waste for geologic disposal.

Waste might not even be the proper term for some of these byproducts, as many are useful for other applications — like tritium, which is a fuel for fusion reactors.

Salts can also absorb a lot of heat. FLiBe remains liquid between approximately 460 degrees and 1460 degrees Celsius. The higher operating temperature of molten salt coolant means more steam generation and more electricity, greatly increasing the efficiency of the reactor, and for Scarlat, efficiency is the big prize.

“If we filled the Campanile with coal and burned it to create electricity, a corresponding volume of uranium fuel would be the size of a tennis ball,” says Scarlat. “Having hope that we can decarbonize and decrease some of the geopolitical issues that come from fossil fuel exploration is very exciting.”

“Finding good compromises”

Thermal efficiency refers to the amount of useful energy produced by a system as compared with the heat put into it. A combustion engine achieves about 20% thermal efficiency. A conventional water-cooled nuclear reactor generally achieves about 32%.

According to Massimiliano Fratoni, Xenel Distinguished Associate Professor in the Department of Nuclear Engineering, a high-temperature, molten salt reactor might achieve 45% thermal efficiency.

So, with all the potential benefits of molten salt reactors, why weren’t they widely adopted years ago? According to Peter Hosemann, Professor and Ernest S. Kuh Chair in Engineering, there’s a significant challenge inherent in molten salt reactors: identifying materials that can withstand contact with the salt.

Anyone who’s driven regularly in a region with icy roads has probably seen trucks and cars with ragged holes eaten in the metal around the wheel wells. Salt spread on roads to melt ice is highly corrosive to metal. A small amount of moisture in the salt coolant of a nuclear reactor could cause similar corrosion, and when combined with extreme heat and high radiation, getting the salt’s chemistry right is even more critical.

Hosemann, a materials scientist, uses electron microscopes to magnify metal samples by about a million times. The samples have been corroded and or irradiated, and Hosemann studies how such damage alters their structures and properties. These experiments may help reactor designers estimate how much corrosion to expect every year in a molten salt reactor housing.

Hosemann says molten salt reactors present special engineering challenges because the salt coolant freezes well above room-temperatures, meaning that repairs must either be done at high temperatures, or the coolant must first be drained.

Commercially successful molten salt reactors then will have to be very reliable, and that won’t be simple. For example, molten salt reactors with liquid fuel may be appealing in terms of waste management, but they also add impurities into the salt that make it more corrosive.

Liquid fuel designs will need to be more robust to counter corrosion, resulting in higher costs, and the radioactive coolant presents further maintenance challenges.

“Good engineering is always a process of finding good compromises. Even the molten salt reactor, as beautiful as it is, has to make compromises,” says Hosemann.

Peterson thinks the compromise is in making molten salt reactors modular. He was the principal investigator on the Department of Energy-funded Integrated Research Project that conducted molten salt reactor experiments from 2012 to 2018.

His research was spun off into Kairos Power, which he co-founded with Berkeley Engineering alums Edward Blandford (Ph.D.’10 NE) and Mike Laufer (Ph.D.’13 NE), and where Peterson serves as Chief Nuclear Officer.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission just completed a review of Kairos Power’s application for a demonstration reactor, Hermes, as a proof of concept. Peterson says that high-temperature parts of Kairos Power’s reactors would likely last for 15 to 25 years before they’d need to be replaced, and because the replacement parts will be lighter than those of conventional reactors, they’ll consume fewer resources.

“As soon as you’re forced to make these high-temperature components replaceable, you’re systematically able to improve them. You’re building improvements, replacing the old parts and testing the new ones, iteratively getting better and better,” says Peterson.

Lowering energy costs

California is committed to reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2045. It’s tempting to assume that this goal can be reached with renewables alone, but electricity demand doesn’t follow peak energy generating times for renewables. 

Natural gas power surges in the evenings as renewable energy wanes. Even optimistic studies on swift renewable energy adoption in California still assume that some 10% of energy requirements won’t be achieved with renewables and storage alone.

Considering the increasing risks to infrastructure in California from wildfires and intensifying storms, it’s likely that non-renewable energy sources will still be needed to meet the state’s energy needs.

Engineers in the Department of Nuclear Engineering expect that nuclear reactors will make more sense than natural gas for future non-renewable energy needs because they produce carbon-free energy at a lower cost. In 2022, the price of natural gas in the United States fluctuated from around $2 to $9 per million BTUs.

Peterson notes that energy from nuclear fuel currently costs about 50 cents per million BTUs. If new reactors can be designed with high intrinsic safety and lower construction and operating costs, nuclear energy might be even more affordable.

Even if molten salt reactors do not end up replacing natural gas, Hosemann says the research will still prove valuable. He points to other large-scale scientific and engineering endeavors like fusion reactors, which in 60 years of development have never been used commercially but have led to other breakthroughs.

“Do I think we’ll have fusion-generated power in our homes in the next five years? Absolutely not. But it’s still valuable because it drives development of superconductors, plasmas and our understanding of materials in extreme environments, which today get used in MRI systems and semiconductor manufacturing,” says Hosemann. “Who knows what we’ll find as we study molten salt reactors?”
