'NASA Space Recordings Of Earth'
Our Universe Is Not Silent~
Although space is a vacuum, this does not mean there is no sound in space.
Sound does exist as electromagnetic vibrations.
The specially designed instruments on board the Voyager and other probes,
picked up and recorded these vibrations,
all within the range of human hearing (20-20,000 cycles per second).

I don't follow any particular religion as such and cannot speak for others.
I personally think it is wrong to create systems that are parasitic, disguising their intended outcome by one means or another
is nothing short of fraud.
The video you posted of John Shelby speaking was refreshing.
With regards God forbidding such a sin, I guess its down to you to ask God what God thinks.

This is an interesting question.

What I sea is a series of expanding circles emanating from a point of origin.
Not a bulb, though they share the same form.

Hello Ori
I will try and answer your question. It will take me at least a few days to put some thing together.
At the least, it should make for interesting discussion.
In the meanwhile, I reckon the easiest way to see what is happening with the swarf / slurry is to drill a transparent material, and video.
If you take into account lateral movement in the driving pole and torsional flex in the cop

It could be half a litre or less.

Looks like the right hand Obelisk is just the face and has been propped up next to a complete Obelisk, which we see on the left.
Could be the result of modern work, the Obelisks are definitely not in their original positions. I wonder how much of the stone work on the site is located where it was discovered.
