Now that we have connected the annual output in energy of the Sun to the earth potential energy and orbital period, and, to the number of naturally occurring elements, and to a zero magnitude star, we are ready to connect all of this to the human eye, for, the zero magnitude star is such in a logarithmic scale of rating brightness and the response of the human eye to light is logarithmic. (Or even to human perception in general, it is supposed to be logarithmic). See "The Habitable Zone" at:
We deplete the finite store of resources the earth has in such a way that we decrease the value of the earth. Money represents resources, therefore any use of the earth should have a maximum return. That is, our economic system has to be based on the science of nature, otherwise we are running ourselves to the broke house.
This is the result of capitalism and communism; they don’t have anything to do with the science of the earth, they diminish the value of the earth by doing damage to its sustainable capabilities.
Socialism decreases individuality, and furthermore to create an economical system based on the science of nature, we also need equality for all, all the world’s countries need to work together, for nature knows no borders. The solution is steady state economics, coupled not with socialism, but with democratic socialism.

I tried to predict the future with science and math, where such a field is a field of science fiction by Isaac Asimov, in his Foundation series. My prediction, is 70% probability to make hyperdrive without destroying ourselves first, that we are 12% along towards developing hyperdrive, and that we will have hyperdrive in 2043. This is one year after Paul Levinson's character, in his science/historical fiction novel "The Plot To Save Socrates", Sierra Waters, is introduced to a newly discovered document, a dialogue between Socrates and a time traveller, Andros that explains a plan to save Socrates from execution, at the beginning of the book. My paper can be read at:
My Forecast for hyperdrive is we have a 70% chance of making it to the stars without destroying ourselves first, and that we are 12% along in the development of hyperdrive, and that we will have hyperdrive around 2043. See my reasoning in my paper at:
In my book “The Habitable Zone” I showed that stars of absolute magnitude zero, which are in a range from spectral class A to spectral class B, are connected to the energy to separate the earth from the sun in their current separation of one astronomical unit, and through this to the energy output of the sun over one revolution about it (an earth year). As well I showed such a star is connected to the number of naturally occurring elements.
Exactly what I showed is that a star must be about 94 times as luminous as the sun to have an annual (earth year) output in energy that equals the energy to move the earth from the sun to its current orbit, and that this factor of 94 is close to the number of naturally occurring elements, which are 92. I rounded the 94 solar luminosities to one hundred solar luminosities and reasoned the habitable zone for this star is 10 times further from it than the earth is from the sun, putting the habitable zone of such a star at the same distance Saturn is from the sun. I showed that this star of 100 solar luminosities has a mass of 3.7 suns and an orbital period in its habitable zone of 16.48 earth years.
Prime examples of such stars are Regulus, otherwise known as Alpha Leo, the brightest star in the constellation Leo, and Vega, otherwise known as Alpha Lyra, the brightest star in the constellation Lyra. Regulus is - 0.7 absolute magnitude and about 160 times more luminous than the sun as reported in “Burnham’s Celestial Handbook”. It is a spectral class B7 V star. Vega is +0.5 absolute magnitude and about 58 times more luminous than the sun as reported in “Burnham’s Celestial Handbook”. It is a spectral class AO V star. Vega has a mass of about 3 solar masses. My hypothetical star, it would seem, lay between these stars in all its quantitative aspects listed.
Regulus is 85 light years distant. Vega is 27 light years distant. The closest star cluster to us is in Ursa Major, the Big Dipper. Its center is 75 light years distant. Over half its stars are spectral class A stars of one type or another, and most of its stars are main sequence. Let us surround the sun with a sphere of radius between 85 light years distant and 25 light years in distance, that is a radius of 50 light years, or there about, and consider that any zero magnitude star found in that area may be important to earth, as we have shown it is connected to it and the naturally occurring elements. 50 light years is not far on the cosmic scale, but is an immense distance with respect to our space technology: it is unattainable with current ships in any reasonable amount of time. The diameter of our galaxy is about 100,000 light years.
It is interesting that my absolute zero magnitude star connected to the earth’s potential energy, and the solar output in energy over the earth’s orbital period, is a zero absolute magnitude in a system of rating brightness that is derived from the Ancient Greek system. Their system was logarithmic, and it turns out the human eye is logarithmic in its response to light. They had each magnitude of brightness increased by a factor of 2.5. We increased that a hair to 2.512 so a difference in five magnitudes is a difference of one hundred times in brightness. The Ancients of Greece rated stars estimating their brightness with the naked eye, calling 1 the brightest and 6, the faintest. At this point is what we are seeing is how the knowledge of the Ancients can be connected with contemporary scientific data obtained with sophisticated equipment. We also are seeing that the equations of theory and model, which only apply to many stars roughly, are really the statement nature is making in her rough sketch.
In my book “Starworks” I demonstrated good reasons for traveling to Mars beyond the common sense of it, and in my book "Cosmic Archeology: Knowing the Universe by Looking at Ourselves" I showed basing our calculations around Jupiter and Saturn are good indications for what a plan should be for our expansion into the solar system. In this work I explore how our first mission to the stars should be based around Ursa Major, that it is written in the Universe, just as I showed for Mars in the above-mentioned works. The overall scope of this project is to find the secret of the structure of nature so we can recreate it and rejuvenate it, as it is our support system.

In the course of my research, which has been the subject of my Cosmic Archeology books, I have found much structure in the solar system that is stunningly related to calibration of instruments to make measurements practical, which are elegant constructions, like 360 degrees in a circle, and dynamic numbers like 9/5 (has interplay between tetractys and trapezoid), or connections of that to the golden ratio, it becomes evident that the system of our planets orbiting our star the Sun, and the moon orbiting Earth, are speaking to us that we are part of something deeply meaningful. We are just beginning to see planets around other stars, or infer their existence, but still little is known of exact dimensions, like, orbital distances, sizes, and masses for all the planets in orbit about the star. But if these other star systems turn out not to have this most elegant of structures, it may mean we are alone in the galaxy, and that the galaxy is there for us to colonize alone. That is all the stars of the Milky Way galaxy, with their planets, are for us. One might speculate as well, though, that each galaxy has a world where there is intelligent life and that galaxy is there for them to inhabit. Though it may also be our galaxy with its some 100 billions of stars, and some perhaps billions of habitable planets, are teaming with life, much of it perhaps intelligent, and that there are variations on the structure of those stellar systems with the structure I have found in our solar system. To each stellar system's structure, that is, it's own kind of life forms, and an explanation from that structure, is the meaning of their role in the grand scheme of the Universe.
The Ancient Greeks developed a system where an increase in magnitude of apparent brightness of a star is two and a half times brighter in actual brightness. This was later given to be 2.512 times brighter because then a star of five apparent magnitudes brighter is then exactly 100 times brighter, and in the ancient Greek system, the brightest star is one magnitude and the faintest was sixth magnitude, which was at the limit of visibility to the unaided eye, a difference of five magnitudes. They rated a star by looking at it and estimating its magnitude with the naked eye. As it turns out, the response of the eye is logarithmic. That is something is much brighter exponentially than we actually perceive it in comparison to something fainter.

The great problem of our time is that global warming can become catastrophic, trigger a run away greenhouse effect, cause droughts, and famine, sea levels to rise, and so forth, we have all heard about it.
Of course we need to take preventive measures by finding alternatives to burning fossil fuels, because burning them releases heat retaining gases.
Nature does clean up greenhouse gases, plants absorb the primary culprit, carbon dioxide, and use it to make sugar and carbohydrates at the bottom of the food chain and oxygen for us to breathe, the sugar and carbohydrates that animals graze on, to make the proteins we eat, and we graze on it. However, most is absorbed by plankton in the ocean, which is because the ocean covers some three quarters of the earth surface.
However, we are adding so many greenhouse gases in addition to what animal life exhales, and plant life cleans (the carbon cycle is plant life turning carbon dioxide back into oxygen), that it cannot handle it all. We say the carbon grid is saturated.
Isaac Asimov, the chemist and science fiction writer, depicted a human future where humans made star ships that used the force of gravity used by earth to hold us to its surface, that travel beyond the speed of light, and across the galaxy in a week or two, from star to to star in hours. There were ships that melded with the human mind so our thoughts were enough to control the ship, where we wanted it to go, what we wanted it to do, but weather control was thought a real marvel. There was a special old planet that could make it rain when they needed rain, and a clear sky when they need sun.
Can we then, control weather, make it rain in Africa, India, and Australia who are being devastated by droughts? More importantly, can we cool the earth, stop global warming with technology, with weather control? This question has been asked, and it involves cleaning out the carbon grid so it can begin to absorb the excess, they say.
I ask, since they say that is not plausible, can we then clean the greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere, so the grid is no longer taxed and can process what it has? It would seem to me this would involve a technology where through some energy, at the right frequency, like sound, separates or breaks apart carbon dioxide. You would permeate the atmosphere with vibrational energy whose wavelength is the same as a carbon dioxide molecule, so it only affects it and breaks it apart, into carbon and oxygen gas, O2.
Or can we do what plants do, can we do photosynthesis, convert carbon dioxide into oxygen. We do make oxygen on space ships, and absorb the carbon dioxide we exhale, with soda lime. How do we do it for the earth, Buckminster Fuller coined the term "Spaceship Earth" where he described it as a vessel traveling around the sun. Let us, by crook or hook, control the weather, make earth a ship that will continue to support life.
