Our Galactic Centre: “enormous energetic event”
Every time a scientist tells us we have nothing to fear, another will admit that they often don’t know much at all. Some 2012 theorists have suggested our galactic centre might be the cause of a 2012 event. For some, like me, it is because most galaxies have very energetic centres, and we haven’t been watching ours long enough to know if it is as benign as it appears. For others, it is a misunderstanding of the “galactic alignment” meme. Scientists have told us that we have no reason to fear our galactic centre, because the super-massive black hole that resides there (right where extensions of the tail of Scorpio and the arrow of Sagittarius cross) is quiet.
Well, new observations may cause scientists to rethink the risks:
Two huge bubbles that emit gamma rays have been found billowing from the center of the Milky Way galaxy, astronomers have announced.
The previously unseen structures, detected by NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, extend 25,000 light-years north and south from the galactic core.
“We think we know a lot about our own galaxy,” said Princeton University astrophysicist David Spergel, who was not involved in the discovery. But “what we see here are these enormous structures … [that] suggest the presence of an enormous energetic event in the center of our galaxy.”
…”Another hypothesis, which is perhaps even more dramatic, is that the [mostly dormant] black hole at the center of the galaxy is active for a little bit,” he said.
Scientists know that a supermassive black hole resides at the center of our galaxy, and it didn’t get so big by sitting quietly. Instead, the black hole must go through stages when it gobbles up massive amounts of material.
When galactic black holes are actively feeding, they tend to spew high-energy jets from their poles. Astronomers have found such active galactic nuclei elsewhere in the universe, but have never before seen any convincing proof of this process happening in the Milky Way.
“So [the gamma-ray bubbles] might be the first evidence for a major outburst from the black hole at the center of the galaxy,” Finkbeiner said.
Thr Galactic bubble recently discovered by the “main stream science community” was predicted decades ago by a Dr. Paul La Violette. Dr. La Violette described it as a Galactic Shockwave, it is a thoery that he based on his finding in ice cores found around the world and when compared to ancient account such as the Yi Chang, the Mayans, the Hoppi, and ancient Hindu texts. He discovered a 13,000 year cycle of planetary cooling events, with every 26,000 year cooling event being the deeper of the cyclic events. We are over due and this bubble is the trigger event that the ancients spoke of. There are also much smaller cooling events which are also triggered by the Galactic center every 5,200 years, 1,600 years, etc, ect, ect. There is no such thing as black holes only very dark and extreamly dense stars.
Paul emailed me and says perhaps there is a face at the top of the image??
I’m jealous, but that’s cool that Paul contacted you, i have read his stuff for years. I have yet to get his newest addition “Earth Under Fire”. Dr. La Violette is one of the few that speaks in down to earth terminology, which helps to spread the word imo. As far as there being a face at the top of the bubble image, i believe this is an animated image. Perhaps the artist was having a bit of CGI sport.
Cool Picture! and thanks for the info on the Galactic Bubble … one more way things could get ugly in 2012. I am curious about all this but lean towards less violent views of 2012 transformation and terrestrial evolution, here’s Patrizia Norelli-Bachelet’s article on ‘The Question of Alignment and the Iconic 2012′. She discusses 2012 in the context of Vedic/Hindu cosmology, the tropical zodiac, the 23.4 degree tilt of the earth, the evolution of the soul and material transformation. http://patrizianorellibachelet.com/TNWblog/?p=95#more-95
I come from a more spiritual perspective but am always interested in any scientific views, as my belief is that eventually these two will meet in such things like quantum physics.
I have heard it said that gamma rays can stimulate evolutionary changes, probably through DNA mutation. Very interesting that this could happen now during the 2012 time period where, in the spiritual and metaphysical community, the general feeling is that we are evolving rapidly at this point (even if it is only in our subtle consciousness and spiritual awareness).
This will be an interesting time on earth. The person who mentioned cyclic events is right in line with what I am talking about. It is cycles within cycles and there definelty will be some major changes coming on all levels if for no ohter reason than “it is time”.
Certainly appreciate the subject and all the comments but I am perplexed as to why the most mysterious phenomena occurring were not submitted in the content ?
wwwAstronomy.com had a NASA Goddard space flight center release of gamma x-ray telescope data showing the 25,000 light year “Fermi bubbles”
“From our sideways point of view 26,000 L/y out from galactic center: it looks to be a hourglass that reaches 45 deg. above and below galactic center in the constellation Sagittarius and consist of half the southern sky.
Energy required ? oh..100,000 exploding supernovae! “Something is a~ foot! ‘ you suppose ?
Jim Morse ; astrophysics director @ N a s a called the “Fermi bubbles ” an entirely new phenomena in the known cosmos, trying to theorize why our galaxy is blowing 7,000,000 deg. Fahrenheit (3.9 million Celsius) bubbles.
All other Astrophysicist unanimously concur WTF! (just kidding)..”They have NO! idea.”..I believe it could be a remnant of a past feeding frenzy,as dose the bulk of most hypothesized postulations I’ve heard. I hold out for our sake’s another probability? {DARK MATTER} OOOooo! ‘Could dark matter be at work here? Total annihilation? “Douglas Finkbeiner Astronomer at Harvard ~ Smithsonian ‘of Cambridge , Yada-yada, who discovered the structures said..”This just confuses things..’LOL! ‘I still think it’s whats left of a belch..after eating something exta juicy! like M87 the big daddy of all known black H(((O)))LE’S likes to illustrate A .K.A. in the LARGE.
our Milky way is part of the “Virgo Supercluster with 5,000 members who’s center is 50,000,000 L\Y’s away and is marked by the largest member galaxy M87, home to several trillion stars, or 10 x as populated as our Milky Way, Unseen matter is thought to make it’s true mass at something in the 200 Milky Way masses range , in the center is; {THE THING}..6,000,000,000 solar masses of O M G ! They say physics it self fails here..sounds like more W T F ? to Me.
Anyway , Messier 87 accompanied by 12,000 globular’s each an island universe on it’s own , its diameter is 500,000 L/Y’s with 2.7 trillion members ,
In 67′ They discovered the X-Ray cannon of all cannons , a 100,000 L/Y beam or so called jet , ‘An active Fermi bubble ?
Hubble has been looking at the object HST-1 ,a knot of gravity in the jet, and noted it has grown 50 times brighter in the last 4 years. the beam is Star trek phaser blue with “Synchrotron Emissions ” rarely seen (Crab Nebula) has it too. the visible jet 5,000 L/Y long filament, appears to be shooting out at 5 times the speed of light, a supposed perspective trick because it’s aimed right at Us! OH! I don’t care how far away it is when the pistol is that big! anyway, our little muncher could have just did the same trick ? and we are seeing it in delayed time of coarse.
The 5 times light speed though ? combined with the breaking of light speed here recently ..makes You wonder if physics is manned by well versed theorist (only)..Maybe the bubbles are our Savior in evolution or our annihilator ?I don’t pretend to roll with the cosmologist struggle going on , The cosmic Eschatology will give us clues I predict!. They have not even cranked up the ol LHC very high yet.the GeV are still low in potential
Could create a black hole some say.. “Some Say agree’s. oh well..That’s show biz ! (:{)
