Influenza and many other diseases show a strong seasonal and latitudinal pattern with fine grained correlation between seemingly unrelated weather events, with outbreaks being correlated sometimes with the onset of cold dry weather and sometimes with the start of an annual rainy season.
This page argues that influenza is caused by metabolic dis-regulation arising from encounters with distortions of the Earth’s magnetic field which in turn are caused by the typical seasonal and latitudinal patterns of atmospheric disturbances.
We need to account for a characteristic epidemiology:
- Flu seems to be ‘seasonal’ but the season depends upon latitude
- The precise onset of outbreaks is correlated to the weather
- The absolute temperature does not appear to be relevant to the timing of the outbreak
- Sometimes temperate regions have more severe outbreaks than colder
- In the United States, onset correlates with low humidity but a different value for each state
- Outbreaks near the tropics coincide with the onset of the rainy season
- Outbreaks can be highly localised. down to the size of a hospital ward even
- There are reported links to the orbits of comets and solar activity
Pressure fronts and vortices
What happens when a cold front meets a warm front? Both systems form circular or spiral flow and in the Northern hemisphere, high pressure systems will move anti-clockwise, with low pressure systems moving clockwise.
So whenever cold air meets warm air, there will be a sharp change in both pressure and wind direction. The change in wind direction surely produces ‘shear’ stress and will lead to the formation of local wind vortices.
The hypothesis is that the physical wind vortices produce as a consequence, a torsion of the Earth’s magnetic field and it is this that is causing outbreaks and epidemics at ground level.
Low pressure is caused by rising air and is associated with the creation of rainfall, whilst high pressure is the result of a downward stream and is characterised by very dry air and the absence of clouds. [ABC science]
Monsoons
The patterns of pressure with respect to land masses and oceans are seasonally inverted, with more high pressure in winter over land masses and the opposite for oceans. Upward or downward columns of air will always form helical flows owing to the influence of Coriolis forces driven by the spin of the Earth.
In this case, it looks like the seasonal effect may not be due to temperature changes but to a predictable difference in the summer and winter weather patterns.
Spatial Variation in Humidity and the Onset of Seasonal Influenza Across the Contiguous United States – [paper]
Serman et al found a strong correlation between influenza cases and humidity. See below for the weekly figures for Arkansas. Influenza cases rise slowly with decreasing humidity up to a specific ‘breakpoint’ whereupon there is a sharper increase in cases relative to humidity.
Similar and very striking charts were produced for other states but with the ‘breakpoint’ (here at about 0.05) being different for each state.
The correlation with humidity makes it seem at first that dry air is somehow a cause of influenza but the fact that the critical humidity levels are different for each state pretty much settles the matter: humidity is not the cause but some other phenomenon that correlates with it and is the cause of both.
Humidity levels (see above) are coincident with pressure and temperature and so changes in humidity are necessarily coincident with changes in both these phenomena. To put it another way, flu outbreaks look like they are correlated with the appearance with a pressure front.
The pressure, temperature and humidity all change but so does the wind direction, which leads to vortex structures in the wind. Charged particles in the air drag the magnetic field into vortices (speculation) and it is these structures which persists after the wind has died down (energy dissipation by friction) and are responsible for the disturbances of the bio-regulatory system that lead to influenza.
Differences in Influenza Seasonality by Latitude, Northern India – [paper]
A separate season exists for populations living at 30°N , just north of the tropics. In this case the season starts at the same time as the rainy season, so again we have a change in pressure with downdrafts of air surely causing local atmospheric and magnetic field disturbances.
Parvaiz et al found that influenza was heavily ‘seasonal’ but that the season depended upon latitude, with a single season encompassing all of northern India and Europe but a different season for southern India.
Again, fine grained predictions could be made by looking at weather patterns.
The latitudes of 30° north and south are the limits of the Hadley convection cells. If flu seasons are regular and predictable at these latitudes then it is by now, no surprise.
Dengue in Myanmar: Spatiotemporal epidemiology, association with climate and short-term prediction – [paper]
Zaw et al again found that sickness was predicted by the onset of a rainy season, with the disease this time being Dengue Fever. Note that northern Myanmar is at 29°N, the’ top’ end of the Hadley cell.
Viruses from space and other matters – [paper]
Hoyle, Wickramasinghe and Watkins looked at the correlation between influenza and weather patterns, concentrating particularly on atmospheric down-drafts. They were thinking that flu is caused by the inhalation of physical particles that come either from space or from the tails of comets. These particles would drift downwards through the Earth’s atmosphere and cause epidemics on Earth.
Of course such atmospheric currents are what we are supposing causes field vortices and so their argument is in large part supportive of the suggested hypothesis. It goes without saying perhaps that no such particles have ever been found.
The Black Death
Take a look at the diagram below from ‘Viruses from Space..’. showing the spread of the Black Death.
It looks like a weather map!
What it doesn’t show is transmission along trade routes or between major cities. The lines look like weather fronts but instead of travelling across the continent in a matter of days or weeks, they appear to take months or even years.
I don’t think that this is happening though, it seems more likely that similar weather patterns recur year after year but in slightly different places.
Temperature is not causal
Sweden has very cold winters and Melbourne has milder winters but this is not reflected in either the incidence or date of onset of influenza:
“We have chosen to show the data for Sweden rather than Britain, not because there is any important difference between Sweden and Britain, but to bring out the point that the simple physical cold of winter is not a relevant factor. Sweden has a really cold winter, whereas Australia has a clement winter not much cooler than a Swedish summer. If simple exposure to cold were important, the effect would long ago have been demonstrated under controlled conditions in the laboratory, which it has not been.” – Hoyle et al
Latitudinal effect in the Northern hemisphere
Edgar Hope-Simpson noticed coincidences in both the timing and severity of flu outbreaks in Prague (52°N ) and Cirencester (51°N ). Something appears to be having an effect at a distance, but is the latitude really the relevant factor?
Hoyle et. al. write that there is a seasonal downdraft of air at this latitude that may be responsible for the effect we are seeing:
“A direct demonstration that the general winter downdraft in the stratosphere occurs strongly over the latitude range 40° to 60° was given by Kalkstein. The observed incidence of a radioactive tracer agrees closely with the well-known winter season of the viruses responsible for the majority of upper respiratory infections, including
influenza”
“How we wonder is the almost clockwork regularity of respiratory infections to be explained otherwise? Unfortunately so little has been understood of the mode of attack of so-called infectious diseases that almost any form of hypothesis has come to be accepted in the past as an answer to questions of this sort. The truth is that, although the world may be extremely complex it is nevertheless extremely precise.“
How to explain these results?
- They are a complete coincidence – the result of cherry-picked random data amongst hundreds of charts that show no such correlations. Possibly..
- The towns are connected via some hidden meteorological feature, some electromagnetic filament that affects both towns to the same degree at the same time each year. The feature may manifest along a line of latitude by some causal means or it may be a coincidence. If this is the case then such correlations may be found between towns of different latitudes.
- A vortex moves from one town to another. The vortex has a magnetic component which somehow keeps it on the same latitude, maybe tracking along a magnetic filament again. The adherence to a latitude line may still be something of a coincidence in this case.
- A vortex filament is fixed in space It ‘grounds’ itself at one particular spot on our planet and then the Earth turns beneath it and so it stays at one specific latitude. In this case there should be predictable timings of just a few hours between outbreaks.
Comets and Contagion: Evolution, Plague, and Diseases From Space – Joseph and Wickramasinghe put forth the hypothesis that some sort of viral particles originate from comets and filter down through our atmosphere to cause disease. In support of this they cite various historical references to the links between comet sightings and subsequent epidemics.
In order to re-purpose their arguments to fit the Field Vortex Hypothesis we need to somehow convince ourselves that it is at least possible for a comet either to cause meaningful magnetic disturbances at the surface of the Earth or for the appearance of a comet to be otherwise associated with such disturbances.
The Nature of Man-Universe connections [paper] – Attila Grandpierre
Grandpierre notes many correlations between solar and terrestrial activity from many different sources. Small variations in the rotational speed of the Earth or wobbles of the Earth’s axis are reflected in changes deep within the core of the sun:
“In a time-linear causal sequence this circumstance would involve that the Earth was more sensitive to the global conditions of solar system at that time, and that the core changes of the Earth induced changes in the solar core. This circumstance points to a mutuality in the core-core interactions, since it seems to be clear that at other occasions the Sun was the initiator of correspondence.” – Grandpierre
Now if events on Earth can affect the core of the sun then it is quite feasible that the passing of a comet should cause disturbances in the weather system of our planet and that some increase in biological disturbances would result.
Field vortices in space
A better way to think about the Earth-Sun connection is consider that space is not empty but filled with a dynamic, ‘living’ field of an electromagnetic nature that self-organises into giant current loops whose size can be comparable to that of a solar system or even an entire galaxy. [video]
Currents flow and vortices form where two ‘fronts’ meet as in our weather systems. Long helical filaments form which connect various bodies in our solar system and cause various ‘events’. This makes it seem that one body is somehow affecting another whereas in reality it is the field that is affecting both.
In the case of the Earth and Sun, sometimes the effect is seen first in the Earth and sometimes the Sun. This gives the impression of the one affecting the other but it is the field that initiates the changes.
Comets as field vortices
Consider that a spherical vortex field should form in our solar system. Energy spirals inwards towards the vortex centre giving rise to very strong torsion fields. Together with neutrino input from the sun, there is enough energy to manifest as actual matter. Electrons come first followed by protons and a complete hydrogen atom. Helium and oxygen soon follow and the first water molecules begin to appear with increasingly exotic elements being formed in due course.
The material that forms the comet is not therefore scooped up space dust but the physical manifestation of the field energy.
The comet looks like a solid object but it arose from a wider energy structure which is still very much present and forming stable helical filaments with the comet at the epicentre. It is this field and these filaments that make connections with the Earth’s atmosphere and that are affecting the planet’s weather system and causing disease.
The page Sunspots and influenza discarded some data as it appeared that in some cases the influenza appeared before the sunspots and therefore could not have been caused by them. This assumption now needs re-evaluating as it may well be the case that sunspots are linked to influenza, not in the causal sense proposed but by a third party cosmic filament that is the cause of both the sunspots themselves and the epidemics on Earth.
This video from See the Pattern shows the extent of electromagnetic circuitry in space:
Weather from space?
If it is the case that events such as the passing of a comet or the appearance of a sunspot can meaningfully affect events in the Earth’s atmosphere then the weather system itself is not completely closed and we can wonder about the extent of external influences and what they might be.
Conventional wisdom says that the spiralling of cyclones etc. is entirely due to the mechanical forces of convection and Coriolis. Possibly, but there are still cyclones close to the equator where Coriolis forces are minimal and there are tornadoes that spin the ‘wrong’ way around. Tornadoes will build up over a period of time when maybe early dissipation due to frictional forces may be more expected.
Seasonal patterns are highly predictable and stable and occur when the Earth is passing through a specific part of the solar system. It isn’t too hard to imagine long electromagnetic filaments attaching themselves to our ionosphere and affecting our weather as we move through space.
This video from Andrew Hall and the Thunderbolts project will make all this seem more likely. “All weather is driven by electric circuitry“.
Vortices in the atmosphere?
The image of the helical ‘cloud’ at the top of the page needs explaining. Is the shape really formed by the movement of air? It looks like a clear winter’s day with very little wind so it seems that the shape has been formed by forces other than mechanical and can therefore exist independently of the physical structure of the air.
Vortex imaging
Images of magnetic vortices have now been created from data produced by radio telescopes.
In this video, Cleo Loi explains the process and shows what appear to be the upper half of magnetic ring vortices in the atmosphere which organise ionised gas particles (plasma) into the shapes seen.
Now if these magnetic field patterns show some seasonal variation and latitudinal affinity then they are surely a good candidate for the initial cause of the processes described above.
To be determined:
- Is flu actually correlated with pressure fronts? An argument has been made that the general shape and seasonal patterns are similar but is there an accurate correspondence?
- Are weather patterns correlated to magnetic field disturbances? ‘Weather’ is physical movement of matter but field vortices are magnetic energy structures.
- Does the weather cause the field or does the field cause the weather? A possibility suggested above is that charged particles are dragged around by the weather and that this affects the Earth’s magnetic field. The Thunderbolts video claims that it is the other way around, that electromagnetic forces are the main driver of weather.
- Do field vortices really cause flu? Studies show correlations between EMF and many disease processes and most man made EMF is accompanied by scalar waves, also known as field vortices – EMF and Biology – 5G and Covid
Summary
Thinking about this problem in terms of the movement of fragments of matter is just confusing whereas considering it in terms of field interactions is illuminating.
The causality of atoms bumping into each other is always going to be local and so any action at a distance is going to be frowned upon. ‘Field causality’ is globally organised and will inevitably give rise to coordinated actions at great distances apart. However, this is not causality as normally thought of but the manifestation of similar field characteristics at widely separated parts of the Universe.
It is fields that organise and fields that provide the energy for movement. Matter is just inert lumps of stuff that wait around and do nothing until a force appears.
The regulation of the human body is performed by an open system of field forces that forms a continuum with the rest of the Universe and whose operation cannot be considered as entirely separate from the external influences impacting upon it.
