About el Nino, and the Possibility of Weather Control

 El Nino is believed to involve two currents both flowing to meet at the equator, then West; the N current to the South is the Panama current, the S to N current is the Peru, or Humboldt current. Changes here seem to often control the weather worldwide. This seems logical because a large ocean like the Pacific is a vast heat sink. The water is considered like an incompressible solid by physicists, this is why your water pipes squeak sometimes. Large changes in ocean flow move huge amounts of heat, like a sort of high speed Continental drift, as far as the heat goes. The pacific is special because it has so much heat stored and it can create larger changes in weather. The Pacific is extreme depth off the W of SA and the Peru current rises up carrying lots of nutrients for life, more abundant than any where else in the world (the rain forest has the most species followed by Australia's Great Barrier Reef; Hawaii has the most birds, even so for numbers of fish, algae, and so on, the Peru current has most.). About once in 10 years the Panama current with warm water moves S to N Chile and a worldwide change in weather. Usually Chile is quite dry but when the moisture reaches the land, this causes lots of floods (not in lots of realtors if they sell ocean views in Ohio!) with the sudden change from hot and dry to to cool and moist multiplying up the change.

Off the West coast of SA is where all forces, N and S and the E and W seem to balance. While the water and wind both move slowly W at the equator, the water of the Panama and Peru currents also are moving against the W coast of SA and the US, that is, there is an E pressure that holds them to the coast, obviously there is a force holding them to the coast, pulling the wheel of the currents involves a force to the E or they would move East also, and the force is large because of the heat stored of the pacific.  
If we think of the Panama and Humboldt current as a balance of forces, this also may multiply up the change. So it's possible relatively small changes may multiply up to control larger weather worldwide.

 Bill Gates is hoping to develop a method of control of triumphant tropical storms by using coolling ships to hope to change the heat flow, after all in WW II there were two allied ships used just to make ice cream, and 50 or so fizz plants in Oceania. Awesome storms they don't just give numbers to here like in the E; here we name them names in the W...

They are heat bubbles that rise from S to N, cooling the tropics about 30 degrees and cleansing  them (a clean name!) with each storm. Changes in heat may thus be used to possibly control the path of the storms.

 Other patents than Microsoft involve using cooling jets of water from a ship moved to inside the eye to try to side steer the storm. If it's balanced by strong forces perhaps just small changes will help steer the storm. As I say on my page about hurricane control we might use dust we might use dust to change hurricanes or even icebergs since both may change the path to control them better.

 I think el ninos perhaps might be restored by cooling ships to cut off the S of the Panama current, large fans on the ships might also be used to control the air currents involved. It's also possible that also eg. in times of drought with el ninos or la ninas might be achieved by using more heat to move the Panama current S. Adding dust or even ice (no moist not dry ice!) from Antarctica might also be of worth here. El ninos seem natural compared to earlier weather some us remember in the old wave 20th century, I believe perhaps this is caused by increased solar heat (the sunspots have been at an all time high) and more dust, not greenhouse gasses. If global warming is alone the cause, why are we so often so cold in winter? More dust from agriculture could often carry 'cooler heat' even if the overall temperature is rising to power the more unpredictable changes in weather as I say here.

  About global warming, el ninos may only be powered by changes in overall heat, so if the sun cools eventually as usually it has, el ninos being 'unnatural' may stop. If the Panama and Humboldt currents are once more in balance I think we might then be able to more gradually control el nino by gradually changing the balance of these events with our machines, control of world weather with much smaller changes because the changes on both sides might not be so extreme.

 A related idea that has been offered up may be to use large fins in arrays in hopes of moving the jet stream N say the W US in winter where the forces are most in balance about halfway N and halfway S, thus moving heat to the N for warm winters. The jet stream might also be stabilized by heating beams like masers to make the heat rise or stay that far N. If the jet stream rises in one area it tends to sink elsewhere, so the average is mostly constant. If it rises over land so it's believed we might hope to make it sink over water, say the Atlantic and Pacific, or even stabilize it with machines so it's sort of a larger standing wave in winter or summer; winter more N over the land more by machines, summer up over the oceans +S over land in hopes of good weather.

  It's been seen that the jet stream stream has 600x the power now available, so machines are being built that take off like a helicopter, and then find the wind for power up there via the helicopters at altitude with tethers or beams sending the power our way and so on so.

  Large fins to the W of the US where the US starts to rise over land via heat where the wave is at half the latitude (not humidity 100% and sunshine if it's what put our zone on the weather map!) and thus where the forces were most in balance might be where to get the most out of the fins. Fins would no doubt be moved N or S as the seasons change, so perhaps heating or cooling beams may be best.

 Even so, fins being a sort of momentum transfer system might have value still, just as mechanical computers with small levers may be extreme if faster and more efficient than other computers, and momentum transfer may make travel to mars in just a few weeks possible by throwing a weight up to the ship and the ship then throws it in return much boosting speed.

 Actually hitching a ride on a comet to go to mars much faster and cheaper as some have proposed is a form of momentum transfer.

 Fins and fans would use convection and conduction not just radiation to move the jets, though heating methods on board the arrays powered by fans might be of higher efficiency yet, as with el nino and control of tropical storms, the method here is to try to use a small change by our machines to try to control a larger system, in hopes of that weather control is not always unfeasable because of the huge size of other machines needed. The idea is that some of the time the systems are in enough balance, so we might be able to change the flow here in hopes of more control. My brother an agriculture pro like Sir issac's father wanted him to be before he won the fight at 16 that motivated him in high school, says, great warmer cozy winters, the canadians may celebrate.
 You may ask what about all the global warming? If this is caused by the sun mostly, it may be natural mostly. As I say on my general weather control page, Best Seller link list at left of page, the ecology is adapting to the global warming well. Birds have by evolution ways already to adapt to global warming, like the 64 million years of mild weather since the time of the dinosaurs. The interglacial ages had lots of global warming without problems like methane overheating some fear, they were much warmer than now. The last glacial age was just 75,000 years, not 100,000 years or more, this may tell us we are just at the end of the glacial age and entering a much more common time like most of the cenozoic, recent time since the demise of the dinosaurs. The shorter age may mean the sun is warming as I say on my main Weather Control Site by way of changes in Jupiter's magnetic field, caused in turn by the fizzelling away of the Great Red Spot.

If the number of advanced civilizations is perhaps high, why aren't all the galaxies lit up with the light of these civilizations? Some say the time of outward radiance might be limited by the same tech we use of lower energy connects like WiFi and wires that no longer emit radiation (I Luv Lucy always will be zooming her shows at the speed of light orange radiance waves out to others who may say, Rise and shine on other worlds, just like here, yet more! "Did you make this up"?) Even so about the light from worlds with advanced machines, like 257 million stations, just as lots of pollution is emitted by chemical synthesis, ect. I find it hard to believe that advanced civilizations wouldn't have light pollution. Extra energy is needed for an advanced society to be advanced and light is not so expensive, It's just light. Strike a match, and you have much. Accidental leaks would be common. At any rate many advanced civilizations might leak light as part of common business of life.

 On the other hand I believe as Carl Sagan said that advanced civilizations might have a way to conceal themselves from us. I think this is possible by way of Einstein's EPR, "the spooky action at a distance". There is evidence for the EPR, and I believe it may be because the lower energy fields being a bit lighter than light may have a phase change, or ect. and go faster than light. It's lighter than light so may move faster than light. This is my hoped for Generalization of Maxwell's Method.

  I believe if we take an initial low amplitude source of the waves and then focus them on the distant realm where we or others might hope to smooth the light, we might be able to render it less obvious to outside sensors. Note that the light would be lower energy than the phase change from emission to the light zone we hope to edit, thus travelling faster than light for most of it's travel, catching up with the light at higher speed. Only when the zone where the waves are focused is reached would the "virtual" light be real, as in a laser light at a concert. If the musician at a heavy metal show says, what's making all the noise in here! One problem with using this method might be that the others might also find the high speed waves too, but then so could we, and use this also to find them.

I believe in the EPR enough to consider this, at least till more experiments are done to completely prove or disprove Einstein's idea.There are new experiments being engineered to find out. Even so it may not be possible, in which case, we may indeed find lights of advanced civilizations without them all being with too many editors, no crosswords, all shall be well!

So too even though I believe even if faster than light starship travel may be possible, it may never be economical. To move a lighter mass like a wave faster may be much easier than a massive starship, because of no phase change. The mass augment of SR seems to come from friction, more speed, more resistance, more mass. Einstein believed not that faster than light was impossible, just that only waves or masses already moving at  FTL could move at that speed. I would think he believed in the EPR because he realized intuitively that the EPR is lighter than light so it might be FTL. If friction slows a massive starship, this may be much tougher to untangle from the field, and so it would have a high cost to an advanced civilization to colonize other planets, perhaps too high to be viable. Faster than light for some mass doesn't mean it will be cheap for all. Even so I've believed like others that we might be able to smooth these field interactions, in essence reducing friction by using part of the wave like some torpedoes go much faster by pumping exhaust to the nose and this smooths out the wave so the machine is faster, yet it still may not be either or or only moderately cheap.

There are those who calculate that it would take a telescope millions of times larger than the Hubble to see the lights of the cities of advanced civilizations. For lower energy radiation like microwaves, I had proposed using using either Jupiter's field which bends the waves around or magnetic bubbles (filled with gas to bend the waves; magnetic fields alone don't bend the waves).
Even so light is "heavier", and not so easy to bend.


HOW TO FIND THE LIGHTS OF DISTANT SHORES

 I propose we send out beams of light in a great wheel of the light ray that forms the sensor of the telescope. Like a laser, these are set up in their rest frame as standing waves. By using two slightly overlapping waves, the waves are balanced so they have internal cohesive tension.The tension acts to multiply up the incoming light's effect on that point of the ray. It could be tuned in frequency to refract light the right amount to the sensor. Light at high energy behaves like a heavy particle so one or more a standing waves would be like a lense of considerable density. The telescope observes the ray as it sweeps out 360 degrees at a suitable distance, and the ray's increased sensitivity observes the distant star, planet, or other lights. This could make huge cheap telescopes possible.

I believe advanced civilizations are rare for three reasons; rarer than some have believed.

Overcrowding caused by over hunting of evolution's innocence, causing increased competition for decreasing resources, causing stress and unnatural illness also, reducing the civilization. After all, competition and resources are at the foundation of territory. History shows that people who lose their land are gone in history. Click Here  for Complete Page. I think this may be the main problem most advanced civilizations may face. Competition and Resources are simple. On the link I list ways we might reduce the overcrowding gradually without so much grief.

Second, new research shows that giant gravity at the center of each galaxy makes only a zone about halfway out where life has time to evolve.Too far in too much radiation for life. Too far out no stars forming by the radiation and plasma ect. This means there is a smaller zone in each galaxy where life or advanced civilizations can exist. A reduced zone means perhaps 2/3 reduction in advanced civilizations too.

Third, It's believed the moon was captured. With no moon, no tides and less volcanoes, so less water. Most life lives today within five miles of the ocean. 99% of the fish are 5 miles from the shore tho most not inland 5 miles or land fish, saying, "All ashore that's going ashore!". 3/4 of the people are by the shore. Life is believed to have started in estuaries with the tide sloshing in and out like a computer. With no moon, there would be less lava so less steam via the moon's influence on volcanoes. (2/3 not 1/3 of volcanoes are within the first 10 days of of the month, more earthquakes too are in spring and fall, when tides are higher, and so on.) Less water and less water and nutrients sloshing in and out of tidal pools computing cycle after cycle to form life. Less life, fewer advanced civilizations. The moon may have also brought the world out of ice ages in ways not found  on other worlds by not allowing it to form large ice caps and not tilt over permanently, at least if the Earth like future advanced world already has enough spin to right itself by way of the moons spin. The moon is unusually large (1/81 the earth's mass) and so these worlds with just a bit less spin than enough even if with the unlikely moon capture would become tidally locked. Tidally locked worlds are known, and some are so hot on one side the rocks melt then condense on the other side, literally raining molten rocks if there were weather reports on these worlds.

I believe it would be improbable to have a moon so large compared to Earth, unlike other "families of planets in the solar system"click here for why.
