Witness1970

Once when Michael Jackson was performing in Birmingham, Alabama, he went out in the Field Ministry door-to-door. One radio personality mentioned it and remarked that some people who said they weren't interested might not even have realized that Michael Jackson was standing at their door. MJ later left the Witnesses. One man has claimed that he was a victim of Michael Jackson after MJ left the witnesses. He said tha Michael Jackson was worse than Jeffrey Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein preferred 14-year-old girls, although 13-year-old girls were included. Michael Jackson's victims were 11-year-old boys. I am not saying that any of this is true. That is what one man who said he was a victim of Michael Jackson claimed was tue. I have listened to a lot of different kinds of music. My wife won't listen to anything except Kingdom songs. EDIT: I sometimes compare Michael Jackson with Prince. Prince was called the "bad boy of Rock and Roll" before he studeied with the Witnesses but cleaned up after his study. Michael Jackson was raised by a Witness mother and an adulterous father but later left the Witnesses and did some terrible things.

I will agree that old stars are dying and new stars are forming, but I would not cite the expansion of the universe as PROOF that new stars, galaxies, and planets are being born.

Does the universe expanding mean that more stars and galaxies are being created? Matter and Energy cannot be created or destroyed; they can only be changed from one form to the other. Creation of matter or energy (or both at once) can only be accomplished by Jehovah.

One man once said, "find something you enjoy doing, then you never have to work a day in your life," It depends on how you define work. Maybe building houses and planting vineyards and gardens and making the earth into a paradise could be just like a hobby, instead of work. I have started building 3 houses from the ground up and worked a lot on others. It was more of a hobby than actual work. Things will have to be organized. That takes planning. I made a post on another topic that said things would have to be organized. Someone would not be able to build a house in a place where someone else had prepared to have a garden, fruit orchard, or vineyard. There has to be order, not chaos. EDIT: But with a perfect mind and healthy body, you might also learn to enjoy things that don't interest you so much now.

Any two objects that orbit each other tend to slowly become tidally locked. Mercury is tidally locked to the sun, always having one side turned toward the sun. The moon is tidally locked to the earth. Pluto and Charon are tidally locked to each other. The earth's orbit is slowing down because of the moon's gravity. It will take billions of years for the earth to become tidally locked to the moon, because the earth is much larger. Of course, Jehovah could do something before that time so that the earth never becomes tidally locked to the moon. (There is no "dark side of the moon" because the moon has the same face toward the earth but different sides of the moon face the sun as it orbits earth.

When I was younger I really loved football. As I got older, I enjoyed studying the strategy in football. In the past 2 decades my interest in football has waned. I think less and less of football with each passing year. My wife watched the Super Bowl (LX) while I was trying to sleep. I have seen a lot of very good players have career ending injuries, even some lost their lives because of injury. I just don't get involved anymore.

Interacting galaxies, also known as colliding galaxies, are two or more galaxies whose gravitational fields result in a disturbance of one another. There are several types of galactic interactions, including major interactions, minor interactions, and galaxy harassment. Major interactions occur between galaxies with similar amounts of mass, whereas minor interactions involve galaxies with masses that vary significantly.[1] An example of a minor interaction is a satellite galaxy disturbing the primary galaxy's spiral arms. An example of a major interaction is a galactic collision, such as the one that astronomers estimate will happen in the future between the Milky Way and Andromeda.[2] Collisions may lead to galaxy mergers and may also lead to other phenomena such as star formation[3] and black hole activity[4]. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interacting_galaxy#Galaxy_collision

I don't understand these photos. I can not think of any point of view where these patterns would show up.

Milankovitch cycles https://science.nasa.gov/science-research/earth-science/milankovitch-orbital-cycles-and-their-role-in-earths-climate/ https://science.nasa.gov/science-research/earth-science/why-milankovitch-orbital-cycles-cant-explain-earths-current-warming/ Milankovitch (Orbital) Cycles and Their Role in Earth’s Climate NASA Science Editorial Team Feb 27, 2020 Article (The pictures didn't work in the post. You can view the article with pictures on the link) Our lives literally revolve around cycles: series of events that are repeated regularly in the same order. There are hundreds of different types of cycles in our world and in the universe. Some are natural, such as the change of the seasons, annual animal migrations or the circadian rhythms that govern our sleep patterns. Others are human-produced, like growing and harvesting crops, musical rhythms or economic cycles. Cycles also play key roles in Earth’s short-term weather and long-term climate. A century ago, Serbian scientist Milutin Milankovitch hypothesized the long-term, collective effects of changes in Earth’s position relative to the Sun are a strong driver of Earth’s long-term climate, and are responsible for triggering the beginning and end of glaciation periods (Ice Ages). Specifically, he examined how variations in three types of Earth orbital movements affect how much solar radiation (known as insolation) reaches the top of Earth’s atmosphere as well as where the insolation reaches. These cyclical orbital movements, which became known as the Milankovitch cycles, cause variations of up to 25 percent in the amount of incoming insolation at Earth’s mid-latitudes (the areas of our planet located between about 30 and 60 degrees north and south of the equator). The Milankovitch cycles include: The shape of Earth’s orbit, known as eccentricity; The angle Earth’s axis is tilted with respect to Earth’s orbital plane, known as obliquity; and The direction Earth’s axis of rotation is pointed, known as precession. Play Video Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech Eccentricity – Earth’s annual pilgrimage around the Sun isn’t perfectly circular, but it’s pretty close. Over time, the pull of gravity from our solar system’s two largest gas giant planets, Jupiter and Saturn, causes the shape of Earth’s orbit to vary from nearly circular to slightly elliptical. Eccentricity measures how much the shape of Earth’s orbit departs from a perfect circle. These variations affect the distance between Earth and the Sun. Eccentricity is the reason why our seasons are slightly different lengths, with summers in the Northern Hemisphere currently about 4.5 days longer than winters, and springs about three days longer than autumns. As eccentricity decreases, the length of our seasons gradually evens out. The difference in the distance between Earth’s closest approach to the Sun (known as perihelion), which occurs on or about January 3 each year, and its farthest departure from the Sun (known as aphelion) on or about July 4, is currently about 5.1 million kilometers (about 3.2 million miles), a variation of 3.4 percent. That means each January, about 6.8 percent more incoming solar radiation reaches Earth than it does each July. When Earth’s orbit is at its most elliptic, about 23 percent more incoming solar radiation reaches Earth at our planet’s closest approach to the Sun each year than does at its farthest departure from the Sun. Currently, Earth’s eccentricity is very slowly decreasing and is approaching its least elliptic (most circular), in a cycle that spans about 100,000 years. The total change in global annual insolation due to the eccentricity cycle is very small. Because variations in Earth’s eccentricity are fairly small, they’re a relatively minor factor in annual seasonal climate variations. Play Video Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech Obliquity – The angle Earth’s axis of rotation is tilted as it travels around the Sun is known as obliquity. Obliquity is why Earth has seasons. Over the last million years, it has varied between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees with respect to Earth’s orbital plane. The greater Earth’s axial tilt angle, the more extreme our seasons are, as each hemisphere receives more solar radiation during its summer, when the hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, and less during winter, when it is tilted away. Larger tilt angles favor periods of deglaciation (the melting and retreat of glaciers and ice sheets). These effects aren’t uniform globally -- higher latitudes receive a larger change in total solar radiation than areas closer to the equator. Earth’s axis is currently tilted 23.4 degrees, or about half way between its extremes, and this angle is very slowly decreasing in a cycle that spans about 41,000 years. It was last at its maximum tilt about 10,000 years ago and will reach its minimum tilt about 10,000 years from now. As obliquity decreases, it gradually helps make our seasons milder, resulting in increasingly warmer winters, and cooler summers that gradually, over time, allow snow and ice at high latitudes to build up into large ice sheets. As ice cover increases, it reflects more of the Sun’s energy back into space, promoting even further cooling. Play Video Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech Precession – As Earth rotates, it wobbles slightly upon its rotational axis, like a slightly off-center spinning toy top. This wobble is due to tidal forces caused by the gravitational influences of the Sun and Moon that cause Earth to bulge at the equator, affecting its rotation. The trend in the direction of this wobble relative to the fixed positions of stars is known as axial precession. The cycle of axial precession spans about 25,771.5 years. Axial precession makes seasonal contrasts more extreme in one hemisphere and less extreme in the other. Currently perihelion occurs during winter in the Northern Hemisphere and in summer in the Southern Hemisphere. This makes Southern Hemisphere summers hotter and moderates Northern Hemisphere seasonal variations. But in about 13,000 years, axial precession will cause these conditions to flip, with the Northern Hemisphere seeing more extremes in solar radiation and the Southern Hemisphere experiencing more moderate seasonal variations. Precession does affect seasonal timing relative to Earth's closest/farthest points around the Sun. However, the modern calendar system ties itself to the seasons, and so, for example, the Northern Hemisphere winter will never occur in July. Today Earth’s North Stars are Polaris and Polaris Australis, but a couple of thousand years ago, they were Kochab and Pherkad. There’s also apsidal precession. Not only does Earth wobble on its rotational axis, but Earth’s entire orbital ellipse – that is, the oval-shaped path Earth follows in its orbit around the Sun — also wobbles irregularly, primarily due to its interactions with Jupiter and Saturn. The cycle of apsidal precession spans about 112,000 years. Apsidal precession changes the orientation of Earth’s orbit relative to the ecliptic plane. The combined effects of axial and apsidal precession result in an overall precession cycle spanning about 23,000 years on average. A Climate Time Machine The small changes set in motion by Milankovitch cycles operate separately and together to influence Earth’s climate over very long timespans, leading to larger changes in our climate over tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years. Milankovitch combined the cycles to create a comprehensive mathematical model for calculating differences in solar radiation at various Earth latitudes along with corresponding surface temperatures. The model is sort of like a climate time machine: it can be run backward and forward to examine past and future climate conditions. Milankovitch assumed changes in radiation at some latitudes and in some seasons are more important than others to the growth and retreat of ice sheets. In addition, it was his belief that obliquity was the most important of the three cycles for climate, because it affects the amount of insolation in Earth’s northern high-latitude regions during summer (the relative role of precession versus obliquity is still a matter of scientific study). He calculated that Ice Ages occur approximately every 41,000 years. Subsequent research confirms that they did occur at 41,000-year intervals between one and three million years ago. But about 800,000 years ago, the cycle of Ice Ages lengthened to 100,000 years, matching Earth’s eccentricity cycle. While various theories have been proposed to explain this transition, scientists do not yet have a clear answer. Milankovitch’s work was supported by other researchers of his time, and he authored numerous publications on his hypothesis. But it wasn’t until about 10 years after his death in 1958 that the global science community began to take serious notice of his theory. In 1976, a study in the journal Science by Hays et al. using deep-sea sediment cores found that Milankovitch cycles correspond with periods of major climate change over the past 450,000 years, with Ice Ages occurring when Earth was undergoing different stages of orbital variation. Several other projects and studies have also upheld the validity of Milankovitch’s work, including research using data from ice cores in Greenland and Antarctica that has provided strong evidence of Milankovitch cycles going back many hundreds of thousands of years. In addition, his work has been embraced by the National Research Council of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. Scientific research to better understand the mechanisms that cause changes in Earth’s rotation and how specifically Milankovitch cycles combine to affect climate is ongoing. But the theory that they drive the timing of glacial-interglacial cycles is well accepted. Further Reading: Why Milankovitch Cycles Can’t Explain Earth’s Current Warming

Earth's precession is a slow, continuous wobble of its rotational axis, completing a full cycle approximately every 26,000 years. What is Earth's Precession? Earth's precession, also known as axial precession, is the gradual shift in the orientation of Earth's axis of rotation. This motion causes the axis to trace out a conical shape over time, with a tilt of about 23.4°, known as the obliquity of the ecliptic, similar to the wobble of a spinning top (axial precession). The full precessional cycle takes roughly 26,000 years, during which the positions of the equinoxes slowly move westward along the ecliptic relative to the fixed stars. Wikipedia +1 Causes of Precession The primary cause of Earth's precession is the gravitational torque exerted by the Sun and Moon on Earth's equatorial bulge. Because Earth is not a perfect sphere but slightly flattened at the poles, the gravitational pull on the bulge generates a torque perpendicular to the axis of rotation, causing the axis to slowly rotate in space. Planetary gravitational influences also contribute slightly, causing planetary precession, but this effect is much smaller than the dominant lunisolar precession. Wikipedia +2 Historical Discovery The phenomenon was first identified by the Greek astronomer Hipparchus around 130 BC. By comparing his observations with older records, he noticed that the positions of the equinoxes had shifted by about 2° over 169 years, leading him to describe this motion as the precession of the equinoxes. This discovery explained why the "first point of Aries," marking the spring equinox, gradually moves through different constellations over millennia. NASA +1 Effects of Precession Pole Star Shift: The star currently near the north celestial pole, Polaris, will not always occupy this position. In the distant future, stars like Vega will become the north star. 1 Equinox Movement: The vernal equinox slowly shifts westward along the ecliptic at a rate of about 50.26 arc-seconds per year, affecting the alignment of calendars and celestial coordinates. 1 Astronomical Implications: Precession introduces a difference between the tropical year (based on the Sun) and the sidereal year (based on stars), which is important for precise astronomical observations and long-term climate studies. 1 Interaction with Other Cycles: Precession combines with other orbital variations, such as the 41,000-year tilt oscillation and 71,000-year orbital plane precession, influencing Earth's long-term climate patterns, including the Milankovitch cycles. 1 2 Sources Modern Understanding Today, precession is described in terms of general precession, which combines the precession of the equator (dominant) and the precession of the ecliptic (minor). Advanced techniques like very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) allow precise measurement of Earth's orientation relative to distant celestial objects, improving our understanding of precession and its variations. Cambridge University Press & Assessment In summary, Earth's precession is a slow, gyroscopic wobble caused by gravitational forces on its equatorial bulge, with profound effects on celestial navigation, the position of the pole star, and long-term astronomical and climatic cycles.
