While I was investigating the development of the internet in the 1990s, I found the data for the first-ever transmission on the world's first WAN — ARPANET.
I know that the original internet was called the Æthernet, or AIMNA, Aether Intelligent Messaging Network Architecture, because it's physically impossible to return 50 million Google search results in .63 seconds through wires, hubs and millions of servers over 24,000 miles in every direction through conventional laws of wave and electric current physics, even at the speed of light. We speculated a few years ago that that's because they are possibly actually using an instant ætheric technology they aren't telling us about...like tug of war. Why call it the Æthernet otherwise? You're in China...I'm in America...you pull the rope and my hands pull instantly with you...because we are connected instantly and physically (or metaphysically in the case of the Æther)...through the rope...no 11,600 km delay in the tension energy of a wave transfer over time and distance...but instantly, like a unified all-encompassing instant unified potential plasma-based magnetic network of infinite ropes-like a connective spider web field modality in all and infinite directions...commonly called the "butterfly effect" or as bogus quantum physics claims, you and I are in the same place at the same time because your pull on the same rope we are both holding forces me to counter that pull immediately, even though you're in China and I'm in America..."quantum entangled together in time and space". Okey dokey.
This is pretty wild and I never considered this. Wouldn't CDN and mountains of cache have a relationship to the performance metrics involved.
I was involved in the early 90s but not enough to speak to details. That said in 1997 when Radware and others created the ability to load balance with the same content all over the planet I without any true deep physics understanding thought it was the way performance was enhanced.
I worked on projects where we load balanced 25-30 servers to deal with load as the computer power was just crap compared to today.
The statement regarding the massive amount of data is interesting as well. Again cache would help no?
I remember one project in 200 was the Ellis Island Database of immigrants that supposedly signed their books from 1920-1940 and the actual records were sent to China and scanned and copied and returned to us on CDs each holding 600 meg. My guys had to upload over 3000 of these CDs to an Alpha DEC Storage network which was then accessed via a load balanced set of 20 NT 4.0 servers running IIS. Why IIS and not Linux/Apache was likely the security concerns at the time.
There was a ceremony and Bush was the President at the time as I would not attend. Not that I really had much interest if he was not there to be honest.
I do have experience with the ARPANET's history. The picture you have is 1972, but it's not the first topology, which only had 4 nodes. The best book is "When Wizards Stay Up Late" as well as Annie Johnson's "DARPA: The Pentagon's Brain." Critical to understanding ARPANET development are RFC's (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Request_for_Comments). The first ARPANET didn't run on TCP-IP, which was invented by Vint Cerf in 1974 (what a cool name). Another great book is 1989's "The Cuckoo's Egg" by Clif Stoll.
The Rockefeller Foundation funding Norman Borlaug to create the green revolution. Operation Paper clip Nazis being overpaid by the US government to create the bomb. No one knowing who is behind any of it. I get the picture.
Out of respect for your work I would like to relate an event that occurred under today's partile trine of Pluto to Sedna.
An aged but quite feisty woman came to me this afternoon for the homeopathic remedy Causticum, which had ameliorated her restless leg syndrome.
Our conversation moved to the subject of Ukraine and thence to covid vaccination, for which she was an unthinking proponent.
I spoke my truth. Sparks flew, and she threatened to vacate the premises.
Yet love eventually prevailed. We adopted warrior postures but then alternately hugged each other.
I was able virtually for the first time in several years to tell my story as an unvaccinated witness to the nasty mass formation that recently gripped the world.
My chest at last expanded to its optimum capacity.
Under this rarified aspect, is it possible that our sparky backwoods imbroglio with its heartfelt resolution could token an armistice of hardened binaries in the wider world?
Homeopaths are by training rightly suspicious of the pharmaceutical industrial complex - right down to the fundamental logic of "fight, fight, fight" versus "like cures like". Which is not to say that many decent colleagues did not take cover under relentless bombardment during the recent mass formation. But then again, I write from Canada...
“The second half of 1969 was an extraordinary time in history, for every reason, from Woodstock to Neil Young walking on the Moon.”
Am a fan of your work and a subscriber…Am thinking perhaps Neil Young may have tripped on some psychedelic fantastic that convinced him of having had a lunar stroll, but forgive me if I’m unfamiliar with a song/lyric/or other-related meaning you may have had for not saying Neil Armstrong?
Do you believe in the Moon landings?How do you explain surviving in space without our atmosphere and the Van Allen belts to protect us from the radiation?
Two things I would like to ask. If the flat Earth is a fact would it negate the power of astrology? Could an an astrological computer programme be created to create a star chart? I am not being contentious but am trying to be open minded.
Because astrological software works all over the world, and covers millennia, and can be used to predict when planets rise and set, all of the planets, many of which are visible to the eye or with a backyard telescope; and because astrology can be cast as heliocentric, geocentric, or barycentric; and because the table of houses works fine, and has for hundreds of years; and because both astrology and astronomy (using similar calculations, by hand or software) predict events that can only work in a spherical, heliocentric Earth (eclipses; retrogrades; occultations; calculation of the ascendant and midheaven); there is no question from the standpoint of astrology that the planet we inhabit is a sphere that orbits the Sun, like many, many others spheres that orbit the same Sun.
The problem with the "Flat Earth" model is that it does not account for thousands of provable facts demonstrable by ordinary people using the heliocentric model. I realize this is being made analogous to virology, but there are no home virology experiments that can be done but many many home astronomy experiments that can be done — including tracking objects with the telescope guided by GPS, which itself requires a spherical, heliocentric model.
What flat-earth, geocentric system people are missing is direct experience with geophysics. Once you live not on a patch of ground but in a solar system, it's easy to feel where you are.
Re: early days of the net. Back in the days of yore, when I was in High School- 1980/81 - in a little town in Ohio, I was hanging one afternoon with one of my best friend's, Greg, at his house, or rather his parents house. We were 16 or 17 years old. He said he would try and get his dad George to show me the 'thing' in the briefcase. (There was a large briefcase in the hallway down to the bedrooms most of the time.) I said ok. George was an Exec at IBM. Apparently he did use it for work at times. George agreed and got it out to show me, a computer, and hooked it up to the phone line. He got it running after a few minutes and I remember not being that impressed. It could connect to other super computers. Maybe it was a slow day for the computer, and I had seen the Atari games, etc.. . But George did say something to the effect of, " When this all gets released I don't want you kids playing with it! It's dangerous!". True words.
I'm still seeking my niche in the astrology world and the astrology of generations is definitely an area of keen interest. My friend Daljeet Peterson has written a solid series on the topic using Pluto over on Medium, though I think one could use any of the outer planets---Pluto, Neptune and Uranus---to look at the generations and use Saturn for a mini-generation (kind of like the group of people we all went to high school together with).
Anyway, super excited to see you taking on this project and perhaps I'll be able to contribute to it in my own way. Over the past several months, mostly as part of biographical exploration, I've also been looking into 1990s astrology so would love to see more on that decade from you!
PS I'm going to assume the Neil YOUNG walking on the moon was a joke...well, at least I, as a guy who has done a series of podcast, umm, interviews with my warped version of Neil Young, had a good laugh about it!
The sign placements are one thing, and the seminal events are another. Pluto in Capricorn never bought us a massive global lockdown and fascist takeover. Saturn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn did — within days of the event, which is on a 37 year cycle.
Thanks, Eric. I've cued up the article to read after I return home from some errands (have to beat an incoming thunderstorm as I commute around these parts of Japan by bicycle!).
Excellent point on the seminal events and the details.
A quick question relating to Pluto in Capricorn and getting the details right. I hear so many astrologers say that Pluto's ingress into Capricorn was signified by the financial crisis of 2008, but when I looked into it a bit more, it seemed like many of those events really began when Pluto was in the final degrees of Sagittarius. If you know off the top of your head, I'm curious which is correct.
(Granted, we can Big Picture and say it was during that period of the ingress when those events took place, but I just see a lot of astrologers don't pay close attention to details and, as a guy with Mercury at 0 Capricorn in the 6th House who also has a journalism background, I believe getting these details correct is important.)
I don't think that "happened while in" is what matters; to me it's more like "precipitated by the ingress of." Once Pluto touched Capricorn the era began. Sagittarius comes into the picture as it's a relic of a phase of massive globalist uprising. Additionally, whatever Pluto in Cap was about developed under Uranus and Neptune in Capricorn not so long before. Sadly I missed the opportunity to comment on Pluto conjunct the degrees where Ur and Nep were conjunct, though Pholus is on its way (though moving extremely slowly and will not arrive for a good few years).

This child of the '50's would like to know more about that decade.
"better living through chemistry" and the H bomb! and amazing fashions -- much better than the Sixties.

I'm hoping you'll finish your '50's project.
So would I! (I was born in 1956.)

Douglas, were most homeopaths aware of and sensitive to the fraud? Most other "holistic" professions seem to have caved in wholesale...
Homeopaths are by training rightly suspicious of the pharmaceutical industrial complex - right down to the fundamental logic of "fight, fight, fight" versus "like cures like".

Yes, it's an acid joke, Spence. Ali G thinks it was Louie Armstrong...

🤣 got it…am not a Neil Young fan as you can tell !
Do you believe in the Moon landings?How do you explain surviving in space without our atmosphere and the Van Allen belts to protect us from the radiation?
Hi Eric another one for you. I am not taking the Mick or trying to waste your time but does this presentation explain anything if no why not. https://odysee.com/@mitchellfromAustralia:d/the-number-one-flat-earth-proof!:41
I have been watching a flat earther called Mark Knight whose site is called WaykiWayki on Odysee. He is also an astrologer like you.
Thanks Eric.

My question is, besides banter on the internet, what is your observable, probable cause to question the shape of the planet?
My second question is, can you explain what happens when Mars is retrograde?
