China: Tian Guan [天关] “Einstein” Probe Detects Mysterious Celestial Object [EP240408a]! (1.11.2024)

In addition to detecting individual events, the EP has conducted repeated sky surveys, successfully generating China’s first all-sky X-ray map. Yuan said the satellite contributes data that represents over 30 percent of all information available on global platforms for the study of transient and eruptive phenomena.

The EP team annually solicits research proposals from Chinese scientists and provides data access to international researchers one year after acquisition.

China’s recorded interest in transient phenomena dates back to the Han Dynasty (202 BC-220 AD). In 1054, astronomers from the Song Dynasty (960-1279) documented the “Guest Star of Tian Guan,” later known as the Chinese Nova, a supernova explosion considered among the most significant astronomical observations in history.

Yuan said the Einstein Probe, known as Tian Guan in Chinese, honours this legacy and seeks to inspire future contributions to world astronomy.

Tree of Enlightenment - Buddha Disappeared!

Perceptual Experiment: “Portrait of God” [Short Film]! (6.1.2024)

When the Buddha attained ‘Enlightenment’, the habitual karmic-power that continuously pulled together his physical and psychological existence fell away – leaving only the residual karmic-power of his present (final) bodily existence.

Buddhist ‘Enlightenment’ seems to suggest a subjective appreciation of this external space and understands that all material expression exists within a continuous state of flux. As the Buddha broke-free of the human attachment to physical existence – his achievement was originally portrayed by his followers as ‘being not there’.

The Beatles: Everyday Chemistry Album [Parallel Universe]! (17.12.2023)

The recording and arrangement are of an absolute and impressive quality – but we must avoid the trap of US anti-intellectual, stupidity, and inverse perception of reality. This is a remix of the work of the individual Beatles post-breakup – but with the finished content ascribed to an earlier – “pre-breakup” period – where The Beatles were still performing together. All the “parallel universe” nonsense is simply modern American story-telling. The Beatles were NOT American – But “British”. The British remain unafraid of open spaces and tend not to over-react to unknown or unexpected circumstance. The Beatles would have played with equal authority in this world or the next!
