The History of The Astronomical Campaign of Laplace Geodetic Points

Authors: Abdelmajid Ben Hadj Salem
Comments: 17 Pages. In French.

In this note, we will describe the history of the astronomical observations and those of the measurements of the bases of the eight triangles of the Primordial Tunisian Geodetic Network carried out in 1982 in the framework of the works of the modernization of the Tunisian Geodesy started by the Office of Topography and Cartography (OTC).

The Ejecta Ray from the 420km Southern Ocean Crater (West-Australia)_raman Spectra of Selected Rock Samples

Authors: Harry K. Hahn
Comments: 35 pages, 68 images, 50 diagrams

The linear Fraser Range in Western Australia seems to be the result of an ejecta ray that was ejected from the Ø 420 km Southern-Ocean-Crater. Different geophysical maps indicate this impact crater on the floor of the Southern Ocean, which I think is a secondary crater of the Permian Triassic Impact Event. The best indication comes from a magnetic anomaly map of the ocean floor which shows a precise semi-circular anomaly (see map below). Further indicaten comes from a combination of a gravity anomaly map of Australia and a topographic map of Antarctica. The visible bow-shaped structures indicate an impact crater of up to Ø 420 km. To provide first evidence for this impact crater I collected rock samples from the linear Fraser Range, which I believe was caused by a massive ejecta ray from this crater ( see maps below ). With a Raman microscope I analysed rock samples which I collected in the Fraser Range. The Raman spectra of quartz grains from the sample sites 50, 52 and 55 provide first indication for a shock event, the impact of an ejecta ray from the Southern Ocean Crater, which probably formed the Fraser Range. The shifts of two main Raman peaks of the analysed quartz grains from sample site 55 (Stone 1) to the lower frequencies 263 and 205 cm-1 and to 261/264 and 205 cm-1, and the shifts of two main Raman peaks in the quartz grains from sample site 50 (Stone 2) to the lower frequencies 204 and 124 cm-1 and to 260/265 and 204 (200,209) cm-1 ( double peaks ), and similar shifts in samples from site 52, which are visible in the Raman Spectra provide a first indication that the quartz from these sample sites was exposed to a shock pressure in the range of 20 - 22 GPa. ( see diagram in Appendix at page 34). Microscopic images of some analysed quartz grains from site 50, 52 & 55 may provide further proof for a shock event ( see pages 7-9, 14 & 21 ) The rock material from sample sites 50 and 55 may provide further evidence for the ejecta ray theory. On site 55 the rock consists of glass-like material that contains pipe-shaped bubbles filled with air (gas). All spectra were made with a BRUKER Senterra-II Raman Microscope (wavenumber precision <0.1cm-1)

The 8 X 7 km Elliptical Warwick Impact Crater (East-Australia)_raman Spectra of Selected Rock Samples

Authors: Harry K. Hahn
Comments: 29 pages, 56 images, 33 diagrams

The Ø 8 x 7 km elliptical Warwick Crater is located in East-Australia 150 km south-west of Brisbane, near the town Warwick. The crater is visible on the Magnetic Intensity Map as a precise elliptical structure. This elliptical ring structure indicates an oblique impact crater. This means the impactor arrived in a very shallow angle of probably < 10°. The orientation of the elliptical ring structure corresponds to the orientation of the assumed ejecta blanket. The age of the oblique impact in all probability is 252 Ma. ( PT-boundary age ). The red- and pink colored rock types on the geological map, which present ejecta of the crater, formed 230-250 Ma ago ! The impact direction of the elliptical Warwick Crater points towards the Cape York Crater (-chain ). Therefore the Ø 8 x 7 km Warwick Crater probably was caused by a large ejecta fragment of the Cape York Impact Event. I have analysed some rock samples which I have collected inside the Ø 8 x 7 km elliptical Warwick Crater. The Raman spectrum of quartz from sample site 43 provides first evidence for an impact shock event as the probable cause of the elliptical ring structure of the Warwick Crater. The shifts of the main Raman peaks, of the analysed quartz, to the lower frequencies 463 and 204 cm-1, provide indication for an impact shock event that caused a shock pressure of around 22 GPa. Further indication comes from the Raman spectra of quartz grains from sample site 53 which show shifts of the main Raman peaks to the lower frequencies 263 and 205 ( 204 ) cm-1 , and from Raman spectra of sample site 51 and 54, which show shifts of the main Raman peaks of the analysed quartz grains to the lower frequencies 263 and 205 cm-1 , to 260 and 126 cm-1 and to 262 (265) and 204 (207) cm-1, indicating a shock pressure of 20-22 GPa. Microscopic images of some of the analysed quartz grains may provide further proof for a shock event ( see pages : 7, 11, 12 and 22 ). All spectra were made with a BRUKER Senterra-II Raman Microscope (wavenumber precision <0.1cm-1). Images of the analysed rock samples and photos of the sample sites are in the Appendix at page 23. More images of all sample sites are available on www.permiantriassic.de or www.permiantriassic.at

Earth's Mass Overestimated (Additional Suggestions 1)

Authors: Edgars Alksnis
Comments: 7 Pages.

Taking into account public interest in topic, I will criticize heavy Earth concept here more broadly. This results in indigestible mix of astrophysics, celestial mechanics, history of solar system, planetary science, geochemistry, geology, magnetism, seismology, and so on. Hydrogen and hydrous Earth concepts get some points.

The EQUATION  Earth Gravity & the Great Pyramid of Giza

Authors: Jean Seimple
Comments: 69 Pages.

We will demonstrate that the gravitational characteristics of the Earth conducive to the emergence of life as we know it, appear indisputably in the dimensions of the Great Pyramid of Giza and that these same dimensions are linked to a very simple, unique, and magnificent equation. That the anomaly observed of 6° of the orbit of the Earth with the the plane of the equator of the sun is engraved deeply inside the architecture of the Great Pyramid and that it is as well the reason for the divergence between the flattening factors of the Earth. Factors defined by : 1- Its theoretical value 2- Its measured dimensions 3- Satellite measurements. Finally, we will show that this equation allowed us to determine the fundamental forms of G and c, as well as new fundamental formulas.
