There is an over 90%
likelihood that a superwave will arrive in the next 400 years,
with a finite chance that one could arrive in the next decade.
Currently, radio astronomers are monitoring the cosmic
ray synchrotron radiation activity of the Galactic core on a
daily basis. They report their findings regularly in IAU (International
Astronomical Union) circulars. For the time being the Galactic
core appears to be continuing in its quiescent state. However,
it is possible that its level of activity could change in the
blink of an eye. A superwave might arrive just as suddenly
as a gamma ray burst. To prepare for this eventuality,
an early warning system needs to be set up and a plan of action
needs to be put in place. In this way, should there be
signs of a significant core outburst and concomitant superwave
cosmic ray arrival, the proper organizations around the world
could be promptly notified so that the proper precautions are
taken. In this way, the impact of such an event could be
drastically reduced.
More public education is need to increase
the general awareness about the phenomenon and its potential
threat to the Earth so that ways might be found of minimizing
the effects of a superwave should one arrive. More scientific
papers need to be presented on research on this subject and media
coverage of the subject is needed. Astronomical and geological
research needs to be conducted to learn more about this phenomenon.
For example, a more detailed analysis needs to be made
of the concentrations of beryllium-10 and cosmic dust present
in the ice age portion of the Earth's polar ice record which
could be remnants of earlier superwave passages.
In regard to the superwave EMP problem,
there is a need to develop an awareness about this phenomenon
so that if it does occur, nations in possession of nuclear devices
do not misinterpret it as an aerial nuclear detonation attack.
Also there is a need to develop emergency plans to implement
measures that will minimize the impact of a superwave's EMP on
power and communications networks. Recently, the U.S. National
Research Council made a step in the right direction by publishing
a report entitled Severe
Space Weather Events: Understanding Societal and Economic Impacts
which describes hazards to modern society that could occur should
we experience a large magnitude solar storm, similar to the 1859
Carrington
event solar flare. The report is relevant from the
standpoint of preparedness for a superwave hazard because many
of the adverse effects it describes are the same as those that
would occur during the arrival of a superwave, even one of relatively
low magnitude. The Starburst Foundation had warned the
National Research Council and other government agencies about
such hazards in their1989 public outreach
project on superwaves. Efforts need to be made to develop
and implement user based alternative electrical energy generators
so that the factories, hospitals, offices, and residents can
disconnect from the electrical power grid. The Starburst
Foundation supports efforts to achieve this objective.
Mass Prayer and Meditation
Perhaps one of the
most effective thing that could be done to prevent or lessen
the effects of an approaching superwave is collective prayer.
Prayer and meditation by millions or billions of people
around the world conducted in synchronized fashion could have
a real physical effect. Experiments by Princeton University
researcher Robert
Jahn have shown that the average person is capable of producing
psychokinetic effects, to move a target plate sufficiently to
cause a change in an interferometer sensor. Imagine what
effect millions of people would have. It is possible that
through prayer we could protect the Earth from an oncoming superwave
and deflect any harmful energy that might be approaching. The
Starburst Foundation supports all organizations conducting planetary
healing prayer/meditations. Examples of groups already
organized to do this include the following:
2012
Global Healing Meditation (every
Saturday at 8 PM GMT)
Currently, the Starburst Foundation is one
of the few organizations researching this important astronomical
phenomenon. It is a scientific research institute dedicated
to discovering how Galactic superwaves have affected our planet
in the past, to implementing an international early-warning system
for future events, and to investigating ways of lessening the
adverse effects of superwaves on our planet. The Starburst Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit
U.S. corporation that is supported by charitable
contributions.
