Boomer On the Ground - Lunar Libration Increasing - Are Earth Poles Preparing to Flip?

The following is the third in a series of articles describing unusual apparent movements of the moon's clockface as it appears from the surface of the earth. For the reader to completely understand this article he or she will need to read the previous articles as well. The following pictures are not direct photos, rather they are digitally manipulated photos that represent direct observations. The observations made in these articles have been confirmed by more than a dozen observers from around the planet and published in a number of venues, including Rumor Mill News, Surfing The Apocalypse, and Human Imagineering. This particular article series is copyrighted by Human Imagineering and may not be reprinted in whole or in part without the permission of Human Imagineering.

This is the moon as seen from South Louisian at 08:00 of 10-30-2004. Note Buzzard's Eye is now at 5:30 position, almost 6:00. Also noted that crater Tycho is located at 10:00 position well above the lunar equator as seen from earth. 

This is the moon as seen from the earth at 22:47 of 10-30-04, just 12 hours, 47 minutes later. The reader should now note that the Buzzard's Eye is now located at nearly 12:00 and the creater Tycho is locatiec at the 4:30 postion, almost diametrically opposite where it was earlier, from the northwest quadrant to the southeast quadrant.

Having established that this movement is apparent, increasing and out of the ordinary it is now incumbent, on both this writer, and on the part of responsible civil authorities and astronomers to explore the fundamental causes of the motion, their implications for the future of the planet and how ordinary people might prepare for the changes that this movement portends for their futures. There will be changes, even if they are only changes in the paradigm of a "reliable" celestial sphere. For, as any reader can now see, it has become unreliable.

Let us explore what could be causing this apparent motion. We have already explored several options, so perhaps we should review these and determine what we should be seeing in our environment that would either prove or falsify these theories.

Hypothesis #1 - The Moon is actually rotating on its contrapolar axis and this is what is being seen in this movement.

This is the least likely hypothesis to explain this motion for several reasons and if we apply Ocham's Razor - that all other arguments being equal, the simplest explanation is the most likely - if fails from its complexity. First we must posit a force of some sort that would, fairly rapidly, start this counter rotation in the first place. Second, that force would have to be otherwise largely indetectible from direct observation on the face of the planet. Ideas such as the impartation of angular momentum from a large asteroid strike would be such forces that are apparent from the surface of the planet. Of course, such a strike could have occurred on the dark side, and the seismic lasers that Apollo left behind would alert the NASA scientists. Of course, with NASAs current track record of acknowledging information it has received that others have been able to glean from their reporting it could be decades before NASA would directly acknowledge such an event. Still the idea fails from the need for simplicity.

Finally, and perhaps most decisively, the notion that this movement is taking place principally in the the moon itself, without any participation of the tidal gravitational lock it shares with the earth, presupposes a force capable of instigating and then reversing this same set of motions over a period of just 12 -24 hours. This would posit an incident of angular momentum of a power well beyond our comprehension. This is not to say it could not happen, only that it seems unlikely, from that source, without our notice.

Hypothesis #2: The earth and the moon, locked in a tidal gravitational binary orbit, are both wobbling on their current north-south axis and this wobbling is currently occuring over a period of 12-24 hours. Apparently this wobbling is occuring during the earth's rotational period and appears to be in the vacinity of a 40 - 120 degree dip north-to-south and results in a reciprocal, inverse wobble in the lunar rotation of from 20-60 degrees.

Now, with this hypothesis there are several factors of expectation that would either support, or falsify this hypothesis.

#1 - Are there any conceivable antecedents to which a causal relationship can attach?

#2 - Given that there are plausible causal antecedents, what would be the reasoanalbe results that might be measurable and detectable?

#3 - Given there are currently detectable and measureable results of this motion, what are the potential consequences should it continue?

The remaining articles in this series will update readers on the observed state of the motions of the moon over the near term, as well as conducting and explaining research that answers the three questions above. We hope readers will continue to check back for the next three articles in this series.
