Preface

“Night, street, lantern, pharmacy,

Meaningless and dim light.

Live another quarter of a century —

It will be like this. There is no exit.

Would you die, you'll start all over again

And everything will repeat as aforetime:

Night, icy ripples of the canal,

Pharmacy, street, lantern”.

– an excerpt from the poetry cycle “Dances of Death”

(Alexander Blok, 1915)

On December 4, 2023, at 4:30 pm, I got the idea that a plot for a new book was emerging. On December 16, 2023, at 3:58 pm, I got an idea for a title for the book.

1st stage of writing: December 16, 2023 5:04 pm – March 12, 2024 10:30 pm, 185,744 characters.

As a preparation for the 2nd stage, in May – July 2024, the book grew by 40%, as of July 9, 2024 it was 248,853 characters long. My previous books were 355,820 and 344,955 characters long.

2nd stage of writing: February – May 2025 – 397,501 characters.

Finished editing on September 2, 2025 at 2:08 pm, electronic publication on Litres – 412,829 characters in the book.

When published by Ridero, after correction, October 8, 2025 – the book contains 400,160 characters, 70,203 words. Also on this day, the book (with corrections) was re-published on Litres. The number of characters is pointed as shown by the MS Word program.

The time specified in the text of the book is Moscow time, UTC+3.

Important! If you haven't read my first two books, 19+ and especially The Last Da Vinci, then you can hardly enjoy reading this one. The book is very specifically written, it is far from the classical understanding of a literary work.

In the course of the book, there will be references to works of fiction by other authors, which you should read if it is a book, or watch if it is a movie. But this is easier, because it will be beautiful works of the best representatives of humanity, which cannot be said about me and this boring and uninteresting book.

The book contains a large number of quotations; they are the basis of the book. Of course, all quotes are enclosed in quotation marks. If the quote follows immediately after the link to it, then it goes in the usual font. If the citation is not preceded by a reference to the source, then it is indicated in italics.

I write this work mainly for myself, because it is my personal diary and workbook, and some episodes of my biography are described – for a period of 3 years, starting from the fall of 2022, when my second book The Last Da Vinci ended – and until the end of summer 2025.

The publication (in Russian) is planned in electronic form in the fall of 2025 on the Litres platform, in paper form (4 copies) in the Ridero; then, in December 2025, it is planned to publish an English translation.

The idea to publish the book not in the fall of 2026, but in September 2025 (i.e. a year earlier) came to me on May 19, 2025 at 10:34 pm.

“Omen (latin. ōmen, also called portent) – among the  ancient Romans, a favorable or unfavorable sign, especially a word accidentally heard, since the person who heard it referred to himself and considered it as a sign for the future.” – Wiki.

“A good Technician was rarely wrong. A top Technician was never wrong. Harlan was never wrong.

‘Now the M.N.C. recommended,’ said Harlan (he spoke coolly, evenly, pronouncing the Standard Intertemporal Language in precise syllables), ‘by your Section involves induction of an accident in space and the immediate death by fairly horrible means of a dozen or more men.’

‘Unavoidable,’ said Voy, shrugging.

‘On the other hand,’ said Harlan, ‘I suggest that the M.N.C. can be reduced to the mere displacement of a container from one shelf to another. Here!’ His long finger pointed. His white, well-cared-for index nail made the faintest mark along one set of perforations.

Voy considered matters with a painful but silent intensity.

Harlan said, ‘Doesn't that alter the situation with regard to your unconsidered fork? Doesn't it take advantage of the fork of lesser probability, changing it to near-certainty, and does that not then lead to—‘

‘-to virtually the M.D.R.’ whispered Voy.

‘To exactly the Maximum Desired Response,’ said Harlan.”

The book 19+, the idea to write it came to me when I found out that the supposed Face on Mars, according to one version, was discovered 13 years before the Chernobyl accident.

The book The Last Da Vinci, the idea to write it appeared when I found out that some events from my first book, which took place on September 6–10, 2017, occurred immediately before the astronomical event Rapture of the Bride on September 23, 2017 (which also mentioned the date of September 9, 2017).

The idea to write a third book arose on November 3, 2023 at 9:52 pm, when I discovered information that on September 9, 2017, another astronomical event occurred – a mysterious meteorite named 1I/’Oumuamua, passed perihelion – the closest point to the Sun on its trajectory.

This stage marks the invasion of the provincial world of our Solar System by a foreign object that came from somewhere outside.

1I/’Oumuamua

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1I/ʻOumuamua

“1I/ʻOumuamua is the first confirmed interstellar object detected passing through the Solar System. Formally designated 1I/2017 U1, it was discovered by Canadian Robert Weryk using the Pan-STARRS telescope at Haleakalā Observatory, Hawaii, on 19 October 2017, approximately 40 days after it passed its closest point to the Sun on 9 September.

[In terms of fixation time, it is the second, after CNEOS 2014-01-08. Meaning that 1I/’Oumuamua was discovered as an interstellar object first, and then they began to look for similar objects in old digitized images and discovered another, much smaller – about 1 meter, which was registered earlier in the records of 2014, but was not then identified as an interstellar object.]

The name comes from Hawaiian ʻoumuamua 'scout' (from ʻou 'reach out for' and mua, reduplicated for emphasis 'first, in advance of'), and reflects the way the object is like a scout or messenger sent from the distant past to reach out to humanity. It roughly translates to 'first distant messenger'. The first character (not a diacritic) is a Hawaiian ʻokina, not an apostrophe, and is pronounced as a glottal stop; the Pan-STARRS team chose the name in consultation with Ka'iu Kimura and Larry Kimura of the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo.

Indications of origin

Accounting for Vega's proper motion, it would have taken ʻOumuamua 600,000 years to reach the Solar System from Vega, although it was not in the same part of the sky at that time. Astronomers calculate that 100 years ago the object was 83.9 ± 0.090 billion km; 52.1 ± 0.056 billion mi (561 ± 0.6 AU) from the Sun and traveling at 26.33 km/s with respect to the Sun. This interstellar speed is very close to the mean motion of material in the Milky Way in the neighborhood of the Sun, also known as the local standard of rest (LSR), and especially close to the mean motion of a relatively close group of red dwarf stars. This velocity profile also indicates an extrasolar origin, but appears to rule out the closest dozen stars. In fact, the closeness of ʻOumuamua's velocity to the local standard of rest might mean that it has circulated the Milky Way several times and thus may have originated from an entirely different part of the galaxy.

It is unknown how long the object has been traveling among the stars. The Solar System is likely the first planetary system ʻOumuamua has closely encountered since being ejected from its birth star system, potentially several billion years ago. It has been speculated that the object may have been ejected from a stellar system in one of the local kinematic associations of young stars (specifically, Carina or Columba) within a range of about 100 parsecs, 45 million years ago. The Carina and Columba associations are now very far in the sky from the Lyra constellation, the direction from which ʻOumuamua came when it entered the Solar System. Others have speculated that it was ejected from a white dwarf system and that its volatiles were lost when its parent star became a red giant. About 1.3 million years ago the object may have passed within a distance of 0.16 parsecs (0.52 light-years) to the nearby star TYC 4742-1027-1, but its velocity is too high to have originated from that star system, and it probably just passed through the system's Oort cloud at a relative speed of about 15 km/s (34,000 mph; 54,000 km/h). An August 2018 study using Gaia Data Release 2 updated the possible past close encounters and identified four stars – HIP 3757, HD 292249, Gaia DR2 2502921019565490176, and Gaia DR2 3666992950762141312 – which ʻOumuamua passed relatively close to at moderately low velocities in the past few million years.

Classification

Initially, ʻOumuamua was announced as comet C/2017 U1 (Pan-STARRS) based on a strongly hyperbolic trajectory. In an attempt to confirm any cometary activity, very deep stacked images were taken at the Very Large Telescope later the same day, but the object showed no presence of a coma. Accordingly, the object was renamed A/2017 U1, becoming the first comet ever to be re-designated as an asteroid. Once it was identified as an interstellar object, it was designated 1I/2017 U1, the first member of a new class of objects.

On 27 June 2018, astronomers reported that ʻOumuamua was thought to be a mildly active comet, and not an asteroid, as previously thought. This was determined by measuring a non-gravitational boost to ʻOumuamua's acceleration, consistent with comet outgassing. However, studies submitted in October 2018 suggest that the object is neither an asteroid nor a comet, although the object could be a remnant of a disintegrated interstellar comet (or exocomet), as suggested by astronomer Zdenek Sekanina. <…>

ʻOumuamua was compared to the fictional alien spacecraft Rama due to its interstellar origin. Adding to the coincidence, both the real and the fictional objects are unusually elongated. ʻOumuamua has a reddish hue and unsteady brightness, which are typical of asteroids.

Trajectory

ʻOumuamua entered the Solar System from north of the plane of the ecliptic. The pull of the Sun's gravity caused it to speed up until it reached its maximum speed of 87.71 km/s (315,800 km/h; 196,200 mph) as it passed south of the ecliptic on 6 September, where the Sun's gravity bent its orbit in a sharp turn northward at its closest approach (perihelion) on 9 September at a distance of 0.255 AU (38,100,000 km; 23,700,000 mi) from the Sun, i.e., about 17% closer than Mercury's closest approach to the Sun. It is now heading away from the Sun toward Pegasus, toward a vanishing point 66° from the direction of its approach.”

Perihelion (Greek περί ‘peri’ – around, near, Greek ἥλιος ‘helios’ – the Sun) – the closest point to the Sun in the orbit of a planet or other celestial body of the Solar system, as well as the distance from this point to the center of the Sun (more precisely, the perihelion distance).

Also on the link above there is a picture of its orbit, at first it flies almost directly to the Sun; after flying next to the Sun, it turns at an acute angle (about 70 degrees by eye) and flies further, turning along a hyperbolic trajectory.

Observers: Interstellar asteroid is unlike anything else in the Solar System (link in Russian)

https://smotrim.ru/article/1047112

“As the observations showed, the object has a dark red color. Experts believe that this is the result of millions of years of exposure to cosmic rays. The asteroid rotates around its axis with a period of 7.3 hours, while its brightness changes tenfold.

This means that the shape of the unexpected guest is not like a ball, but like a chip or potato. It is elongated, its length (at least 400 meters) is about ten times the width. Therefore, when an observer sees an asteroid ‘from the end’, he receives ten times less reflected light than when the celestial body is displayed full-length before telescopes.

As stated in the release, ʻOumuamua is not like any other body typical of the Solar system.”

Interstellar object

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstellar_object

“Other interstellar objects

2I/Borisov. The object was discovered on 30 August 2019 at MARGO, Nauchnyy, Crimea by Gennadiy Borisov using his custom-built 0.65-meter telescope. On 13 September 2019, the Gran Telescopio Canarias obtained a low-resolution visible spectrum of 2I/Borisov that revealed that this object has a surface composition not too different from that found in typical Oort Cloud comets. The IAU Working Group for Small Body Nomenclature kept the name Borisov, giving the comet the interstellar designation of 2I/Borisov. On 12 March 2020, astronomers reported observational evidence of ‘ongoing nucleus fragmentation’ from Borisov.

3I/ATLAS. A third object was discovered by ATLAS on 1 July 2025, just inside the orbit of Jupiter at a distance of 4.5 AU from the Sun. It has a record-setting eccentricity of 6.14. The object will come to perihelion on 29 October 2025 11:44 ± 00:02 UT at a distance of 1.356 ± 0.0002 AU (202.855 ± 0.030 million km; 126.048 ± 0.019 million mi) from the Sun. Both inbound and outbound, the object has an interstellar velocity of around 58 km/s.”

As I believe, these objects were found (discovered) due to the development of modern technology, especially computers. In addition to ‘Oumuamua, two more objects were opened in the last 8 years, 2017–2025 (not including ‘space debris’ with a diameter of 0.5–1m).

Of course, it is important to me that ‘Oumuamua was the first object of this type to be discovered, and according to cultural traditions, the first object discovered and identified is more important than subsequent ones. Of course, there is a possibility that such objects will be opened on a regular basis.

‘Oumuamua turned out to be very unusual, its visit gave space to the imagination, attracted people to space topics. His appearance produced a ‘show effect’, which is similar to the Spirit's style of making a bright superficial impression.

It is intriguing that this object has been flying for millions of years towards its goal – to be in a certain place at a certain time (according to my myth-making).

The mystery of ‘Oumuamua: scientists are puzzled about what space object invaded the Solar system (link in Russian)

https://hi-tech.mail.ru/news/53295-zagadka-oumuamua-uchenye-lomayut-golovy-chto-za-kosmicheskiy-obekt-vtorgsya-v-so/

“’Oumuamua is the Hawaiian name for a space visitor who finds himself in our world, which is called a ‘transit’. And in literal translation means: ‘The messenger who arrived first from afar.’

‘We assumed that such objects could exist,‘ Thomas Zurbuchen, one of the scientific supervisors at NASA, said at the time, ‘and now we have seen one of them for the first time. This is a historic discovery.’

The leader of the enthusiasts is not a half-crazed ufologist. Professor Abraham ‘Avi’ Loeb of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics is a member of the President's Council on Science and Technology (USA), an academician of the International Academy of Astronautics. From the very beginning of the ‘visit’, he defended the idea that the ‘messenger’ is man-made.

His book ‘Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth’ was recently published. The scientist collected in it all the arguments in favor of the fact that ‘Oumuamua was created and sent to us by aliens. Either accidentally, or intentionally. Here are his arguments:

1. Asteroids are not cylindrical.

2. Asteroids don't accelerate by themselves.

3. Asteroids are not so bright.

<…>

Enthusiasts, of course, remembered Arthur C. Clarke and his science fiction novel ‘Rendezvous with Rama’. The writer turned out to be almost a prophet.

In the novel, the object called Rama also came from the depths of the galaxy, also flew into the Solar system, also turned out to be cylindrical in shape, was also discovered by the service engaged in searching for dangerous asteroids – the Space patrol. And most importantly, it was also initially mistaken for an asteroid.

Astronomers estimate that 'Oumuamua took at least 1 to 4 million years to reach the Solar System.”

Interstellar wanderer has accelerated

(Link doesn't open)

“Last fall, astronomers discovered the first confirmed interstellar object in the Solar System, called ‘Oumuamua (1I/’Oumuamua). It arrived approximately from the direction of the star Vega and passed at a distance of 0.25 AU from the Sun (inside the orbit of Mercury), after which it left along a trajectory that forever takes it out of the sphere of attraction of our sun.

In the latest issue of the Nature magazine, an article has appeared with the results of a new study of the interstellar guest. They indicate that ‘Oumuamua is leaving the Solar System at a faster rate than expected.

This anomalous behavior has been recorded by observatories around the world, including the Hubble Telescope and ESO's Very Large Telescope. The measured acceleration is very small. In general, the movement of ‘Oumuamua still slows down under the influence of the attraction of the Sun, but not so much as follows from the laws of celestial mechanics.

Gas ejection is a phenomenon typical of comets. Observational data suggest that the farther ‘Oumuamua moves away from the Sun, the slower it accelerates. This, again, is a typical sign of comet behavior. The problem is that when ‘Oumuamua flew close to the Sun, astronomers were unable to register any visible traces of gas and dust ejections. [And there's also the problem that if it's rotating on a long axis, it won't be able to accelerate by throwing gas out of one of its ends.]”

https://360tv.ru/tekst/obschestvo/zagadki-oumuamua-mimo-nas-proletel-korabl-prisheltsev/

“It seems to have left its system as a result of some cosmic catastrophe and is moving through space at great speed.”

On November 5, 2023, at 12:28 pm, I had an idea about the ‘three Magi’ as an allusion to the visit of this meteorite to our Solar system.

This meteorite behaved extremely unusually, it rotated (with a cigar-shaped shape), changed its brightness and accelerated. He was doing his best to make sure that he was definitely noticed.

September 9, 2017 – ‘Oumuamua is 17% closer to the Sun than Mercury (approached to a distance of 38.1 million km). The average distance from the Sun to Earth is 149.5 million km.

In early November 2017, the Messenger crossed the orbit of Mars (228 million km), in May 2018 – Jupiter (779 million km), in January 2019 – passed Saturn (1,430 million km), in 2024 ‘Oumuamua will fly beyond Pluto (5,906 million km).

Rama (Hinduism)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rama

“Rama (rɑːmə/; IAST: Rāma) is a major deity in Hinduism. He is worshipped as the seventh and one of the most popular avatars of Vishnu. In Rama-centric Hindu traditions, he is considered the Supreme Being. Also considered as the ideal man (maryāda puruṣottama), Rama is the male protagonist of the Hindu epic Ramayana.”

(link in Russian)

https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Рама_(индуизм)

“Rama is revered in Hinduism as the seventh avatar of Vishnu, who descended into the world in the last quarter of Treta Yuga about 1.2 million years ago. When Parasurama is engaged in creating and preserving the world order, then Rama as his avatar ‘is called to defend the dignity of marriage, as an expression of the eternal and indissoluble bond between husband and wife.’”

Rendezvous with Rama

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendezvous_with_Rama

“Rendezvous with Rama is a 1973 science fiction novel [publ. at June 1973] by British writer Arthur C. Clarke. Set in the 2130s, the story involves a 50-by-20-kilometre (31-by-12-mile) cylindrical alien starship that enters the Solar System. The story is told from the point of view of a group of human explorers who intercept the ship in an attempt to unlock its mysteries. The novel won the Hugo, Locus, and Nebula awards upon its release, and is regarded as one of the cornerstones in Clarke's bibliography. The concept was later extended with several sequels, written by Clarke and Gentry Lee. <…>

Plot: an asteroid strikes Italy in 2077, prompting the creation of the Spaceguard system to track potentially hazardous objects in space. In 2131, Spaceguard detects an interstellar object entering the Solar System, designating it ‘31/439’ before naming it Rama after the Hindu god. A space probe reveals that Rama is a perfectly smooth cylinder 50 kilometres (31 mi) long and 20 kilometres (12 mi) in diameter, indicating that it was constructed by intelligent beings.

Endeavour is sent to study Rama, being the only ship close enough to do so. <…>

Boris Rodrigo, a crewman who adheres to a space-inspired sect of Christianity, suggests that Rama is a new Noah's Ark that will change course to begin orbiting the sun. <…>

Non-fictional aspects

On 19 October 2017 an incoming interstellar object was discovered by Pan-STARRS, a system similar to Spaceguard. Like Rama, the object had an unusually elongated shape. Before the official Hawaiian name ʻOumuamua was selected by the International Astronomical Union, a popular choice was Rama.”

1I/’Oumuamua is the first interstellar object discovered to fly through the Solar system. Opened on October 19, 2017.”

(99942) Apophis

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/99942_Apophis

“99942 Apophis (provisional designation 2004 MN4) is a near-Earth asteroid and a potentially hazardous object, 450 metres (1,480 ft) by 170 metres (560 ft) in size. Observations eliminated the possibility of an impact on Earth in 2029, when it will pass the Earth at a distance of about 31,600 kilometres (19,600 mi) above the surface. <…>

Apophis was discovered on June 19, 2004, by Roy A. Tucker, David J. Tholen, and Fabrizio Bernardi at the Kitt Peak National Observatory. <…>

When first discovered, the object received the provisional designation 2004 MN4, and early news and scientific articles naturally referred to it by that name. Once its orbit was sufficiently well calculated, it received the permanent number 99942 (on June 24, 2005). Receiving a permanent number made it eligible for naming by its discoverers, and they chose the name ‘Apophis’ on July 19, 2005. Apophis is the Greek name of Apep, an enemy of the Ancient Egyptian Sun-god Ra. He is the Uncreator, an evil serpent that dwells in the eternal darkness of the Duat and tries to swallow Ra during his nightly passage. Apep is held at bay by Set, the Ancient Egyptian god of storms and the desert.”

I noticed that the date of discovery of Apophis occurred exactly 19 years (day to day!) after the explosion of my room on June 19, 1985. It is also interesting that its number 99942 (the numbers in names are issued sequentially) can be divided into two numbers: 999 (inverted 666) and 42. And of course, the ‘historical reference’ that its name was chosen in honor of the Serpent-destroyer who tried to destroy the Sun-Ra is interesting.

In Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, ‘The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything’ was supposed to solve all the problems of the Universe. This answer was eagerly awaited by all sentient races. It was obtained as a result of seven and a half million years of continuous computing on a specially created thinking computer (Deep Thought). According to the computer, the answer was checked several times for correctness, but it may upset everyone. It turned out that the answer to the question is ‘42’.

What is the distance from Earth to the nearest star Proxima Centauri? (link in Russian)

https://otvet.mail.ru/question/9329896

“The distance from the Earth to the Sun is 150,000,000 kilometers. Since light travels at a speed of 300,000 km/sec, it takes 8 minutes for it to travel the distance from the Sun to the Earth. The closest stars to us are Proxima Centauri and Alpha Centauri. The distance from them to the Earth is 270,000 times greater than the distance from the Sun to the Earth. That is, the distance from us to these stars is 270,000 times greater than 150,000,000 kilometers! Their light takes 4.5 years to reach the Earth.”

The distance from the Sun to the heliopause zone is estimated at 130–150 AU (one AU is equal to the distance from the Earth to the Sun), or 19.5–22.5 billion km.

If the Earth–Sun distance is taken as 1 millimeter, then the nearest star is 268 meters away.

If our sun is reduced to the size of a match head, then the distance to the nearest star will be approximately 1 kilometer.

The nearest star from the Sun, Proxima Centauri. Its diameter is seven times smaller than the Sun, and the same applies to its mass. Its luminosity is 0.17% that of the Sun.

Cassini-Huygens (spacecraft)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassini–Huygens

“Cassini orbiter is a space probe. It is named after the Italian-French astronomer Giovanni Cassini.

Launched aboard a Titan IVB/Centaur on October 15, 1997, Cassini was active in space for nearly 20 years, spending its final 13 years orbiting Saturn and studying the planet and its system after entering orbit on July 1, 2004

The voyage to Saturn included flybys of Venus (April 1998 and July 1999), Earth (August 1999), the asteroid 2685 Masursky, and Jupiter (December 2000). The mission ended on September 15, 2017 [at about 10:45 UTC], when Cassini's trajectory took it into Saturn's upper atmosphere and it burned up in order to prevent any risk of contaminating Saturn's moons, which might have offered habitable environments to stowaway terrestrial microbes on the spacecraft. <…>

On November 29, 2016, the spacecraft performed a Titan flyby that took it to the gateway of F-ring orbits: This was the start of the Grand Finale phase culminating in its impact with the planet. A final Titan flyby on April 22, 2017, changed the orbit again to fly through the gap between Saturn and its inner ring days later on April 26. Cassini passed about 3,100 km (1,900 mi) above Saturn's cloud layer and 320 km (200 mi) from the visible edge of the inner ring; it successfully took images of Saturn's atmosphere and began returning data the next day. After a further 22 orbits through the gap, the mission was ended with a dive into Saturn's atmosphere on September 15; signal was lost at 11:55:46 UTC on September 15, 2017, just 30 seconds later than predicted. It is estimated that the spacecraft burned up about 45 seconds after the last transmission.”

Why do I focus on this ‘sacrifice’ of a spacecraft in the atmosphere of Saturn? It's all about the date – this space probe flew for 20 years to its destination, and at the right time burned up in the atmosphere of the gas giant. This is similar to the meteorite from the previous chapter, which spent perhaps several million years in interstellar space in order to have time to ‘be near our star at a certain time’.

Let's also mention Juno:

Juno (spacecraft)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juno_(spacecraft)

“Juno is a NASA space probe orbiting the planet Jupiter. Built by Lockheed Martin and operated by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the spacecraft was launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on August 5, 2011, as part of the New Frontiers program. Juno entered a polar orbit of Jupiter on July 5, 2016, to begin a scientific investigation of the planet. <…>

On August 27, 2016, at 13:44 GMT, the spacecraft passed over Jupiter at a speed of 208,000 kilometers per hour relative to the planet, and the minimum altitude was 4,200 kilometers from the upper edge of its atmosphere. The device at the same time took pictures of the North Pole area of the giant planet.”

“On July 5, 2016, Juno will enter a capture orbit around Jupiter (431 m/s increment) with an initial orbital period of 78 days. The spacecraft will make 32 orbits around the planet, adjusting its orbit with maneuvers after each perijove, and, after completing the scientific program, will enter the atmosphere of Jupiter on October 16, 2017.

Starfall Draconids in 2017, October 8–10

https://vedmochka.net/астрология/календарь-звездопадов-2017.html

“This meteor shower begins in early October, peaking between the 8th and 10th. The maximum number of meteors per hour usually does not exceed 15.

The Draconids meteor shower is also called the Giacobinids, as it is associated with the comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner.”

Oh, my God!

“I hope your gratitude will extend to having your Section perform a slight chore for me.”

“A chore?”

“A matter of Life-Plotting. I have the data necessary here with me. I have also the data for a suggested Reality Change in the 482nd. I want to know the effect of the Change on the probability-pattern of a certain individual.”

– The End of Eternity (Isaac Asimov, 1955)

I have a strong feeling, a certain confidence, that I learning all these events in a certain sequence, which leads to the planned necessary cultural changes in my inner world.

The sequence in receiving portions of information, and its minimum dosage, suggests the principle of MNC (Minimum Necessary Change).

Perhaps starting in 2020, I sometimes began to feel that I was feeling some ‘movement’, I could feel that I was not standing still, but moving somewhere, and this was not connected with the objects around me, nor with the manifestation of energy around me. Naturally, I liked this illusory feeling, and of course I could imagine it – for example, as ‘a movement in space with the planet’, but I understood that this feeling was a pure illusion, some kind of abstraction. Movement by itself, without going away or approaching anything.

I assume that this constant sense of movement is the result of one of the Attributes that affect me.

This illusory feeling helped me in the struggle against undesirable energy effects, because if I did not concentrate on my body or energy, but turned my attention to explicit abstract values that I was almost completely carried away, then this complicated the process of capturing my attention.

And the most likely explanation is that I play computer games every day, and while playing WoWs, I see sea waves moving towards my ship on the computer screen, which may well give rise to some external sensations of movement when the physical body is motionless.

Oh-My-God particle

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oh-My-God_particle

“The Oh-My-God particle (as physicists dubbed it) was an ultra-high-energy cosmic ray detected on October 15, 1991 by the Fly's Eye camera in Dugway Proving Ground, Utah, United States. As of 2025, it is the highest-energy cosmic ray ever observed. Its energy was estimated as (3.2±0.9)×10²⁰ eV (320 exaelectronvolt). The particle's energy was unexpected and called into question prevailing theories about the origin and propagation of cosmic rays.

Comparisons

The Oh-My-God particle had 10²⁰ (100 quintillion) times the photon energy of visible light, equivalent to a 140-gram (5 oz) baseball travelling at about 28 m/s (100 km/h; 63 mph). Its energy was 20 million times greater than the highest photon energy measured in electromagnetic radiation emitted by an extragalactic object, the blazar Markarian 501.

Later similar events

Since the first observation, hundreds of similar events (energy 5.7×10¹⁹ eV or greater) have been recorded, confirming the phenomenon. These ultra-high-energy cosmic ray particles are very rare; the energy of most cosmic ray particles is between 10⁷ eV and 10¹⁰ eV.

More recent studies using the Telescope Array Project have suggested a source of the particles within a 20 degree radius ‘warm spot’ in the direction of the constellation Ursa Major.

The Amaterasu particle, named after the sun goddess in Japanese mythology, was detected in 2021 and later identified in 2023, using the Telescope Array observatory in Utah, United States. It had an energy exceeding 240 exa-electron volts (2.4×10²⁰ eV). This particle appears to have emerged from the Local Void, an empty area of space bordering the Milky Way galaxy. It contained an amount of energy comparable to dropping a brick from the height of the waist. No promising astronomical object matching the direction from which the cosmic ray arrived has been identified.”

Oh my God (link in Russian)

https://ru.frwiki.wiki/wiki/Particule_Oh-My-God

“The energy carried by the OMG particle was 50 Joules, which is several tens of millions of times more energy than the energy of subatomic particles accelerated in the Large Hadron Collider. A particle with an energy of 2×10¹⁰⁻²⁰ eV or 32 Joules was registered on December 3, 1993, and another carrier of 23 Joules on January 13, 2007, but the record for an OMG particle has not yet been broken, although it is statistically possible that some very high-energy cosmic rays coming to Earth will exceed the energy of an OMG particle.”

Mysterious cosmic rays of Amaterasu from the Local Void beyond our Galaxy (link in Russian)

https://aftershock.news/?q=node/1314817

“The newly discovered particle, named the Amaterasu after the Sun goddess in Japanese mythology, was discovered by the Cosmic Ray Observatory in the Western Utah Desert, known as the Telescope Array. The telescope array, which began operating in 2008, consists of 507 ping-pong table-sized surface detectors covering 700 square kilometers (270 square miles).

The observatory recorded more than 30 ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, but none of them was more energetic than the Amaterasu particle, which hit the atmosphere over Utah on May 27, 2021, causing a rain of secondary particles to fall to Earth, where they were picked up by detectors.

Invisible to the naked eye, the energy of this subatomic particle is equivalent to dropping a brick on your toe from waist height, according to the authors of a new study published Thursday in the journal Science. The study showed that it competes with the most energetic cosmic ray ever observed – the Oh-My-God particle, which was discovered in 1991.”

Comment from the article: “One of the main assumptions in Lev N. Gumilyov's theory of passionarity was certain energy impacts on the Earth's surface in different historical periods. According to the author of the theory, a certain combination of landscapes, different peoples living and bordering each other and having a complementarity (mutual attraction) plus starting energy strike from the far depths of space, generated a core of very active people who formed a new idea, a new community, and being many times more energetic than ordinary people (passionaries) began to form a new organism – an ethnic group. Which, having already received such a start, began to grow in the phenomena described and understood by man, created history.”

A mystery covered in darkness, or riddles of the particle Oh-My-God! (link in Russian)

https://vk.com/@stardust42-taina-pokrytaya-mrakom-ili-zagadki-chasticy-oh-my-god

“However, on October 15, 1991, even the most highly qualified physicists will come to the conclusion that not all the mysteries of the cosmos can be solved by humans. On this day, or rather, in the evening of this day, when the sun in Utah, USA, has already set over the horizon, the detector with the funny name ‘Fly's Eye’ (or, more scientifically, HiRes – High Resolution Fly's Eye Cosmic Detector) recorded an ultraviolet flash in the sky – this is there was a trace of a superparticle that would later take over the minds of the world's physicists. Its speed was 99.99999999999999999996% of the speed of light, and its energy was 320 eV! It was a case of the Universe's mockery of all mankind: the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin (GZK) limit was shatteringly broken; the record for the speed of elementary particles achieved at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) – the most powerful and large-scale experimental facility of our time – was broken tens of millions of times; Albert Einstein's titanic theory of the speed of light as an elementary particle is being questioned. After seeing the indicators on the dashboards, the researchers did not hesitate to christen the phenomenon with the particle Oh-My-God! This was the starting point of a new hunt for the physicists of the world – the hunt for the elusive energy monster and the source that produced it.

However, when talking about ‘catching’ such particles, we should mention the existing problems: first, superparticles with an energy of more than 1 eV are extremely rare – they arrive on Earth once a century and bombard the territory within 1 km^2, and secondly, ground-based detectors register not a cosmic ray particle directly, but a secondary particles generated by the interaction of the primary particle with the upper atmosphere. Secondary particles (such as pions, hadrons, photons, muons, neutrons, electrons, and protons) are already being released in millions instead of the single primary, and they are no longer pouring down to Earth in a stream, but in a cascade, called a broad atmospheric shower in astronomy. The width of such a shower can reach several kilometers, and, therefore, in order to unravel the secrets of primary ultra-high-energy particles encoded in secondary particles, ‘hunters’ need to place their ‘traps’ in giant territories.

One of these ‘traps’, as already noted, was the High Resolution Fly's Eye detector, which by a happy coincidence managed to track the legendary particle. This was the first detector to use the principle of air fluorescence: when a cosmic ray crashes into the upper atmosphere, the particles interact with air molecules – with the nuclei of gas atoms; when a charged particle interacts with the nucleus of a nitrogen atom, the latter is excited and moves to a higher energy level; the excitation energy released in this case has the form weak glow – bands of ultraviolet light, which is detected by the detector. By examining this radiation, the detector can determine the energy of the primary particle and the approximate flight path.

On the other side of the world – in Japan, 120 km west of Tokyo (in Akeno), there is another observatory for catching ultra-high-energy cosmic rays – the Akeno Giant Air Shower Array (AGASA). The stations of this detector stretched over an area of 100 km^2 and worked on a completely different principle – the scintillation principle. It consists in the fact that the detector detects particles no longer in the air, but at the moment when they reach the surface of the earth. Of the secondary particles, only electrons and muons reach the earth, and when they enter a transparent scintillator (plastic, liquid, or crystal), they cause a glow in it – scintillations that are recorded by photomultipliers. By recording the time the secondary subatomic particle reaches the earth at different stations, you can investigate where the primary particle came from.

But, as it turned out, these two detectors came to opposite conclusions regarding the existence of the GZK limit. If HiRes, according to the data obtained, established that the primary particle arrives to us from nearby sources, which does not refute the existence of the GZK limit, then AGASA, on the contrary, recorded that the deposit of such ultra-high-energy particles is located in distant sources, more than 500 million light-years from Earth, which negates the entire hypothesis of Greisen, Zatsepin and Kuzmin. So how do you know the truth?

Most cosmic rays are caused by explosions on the Sun, but this source is not so powerful as to give acceleration to a particle such as Oh-My-God. Pulsars are already more powerful, but their magnetic field is too weak to hold an accelerated particle; even if we are talking about magnetars – pulsars with a strong magnetic field – while moving in a circle, the particle will still spend energy emitting electromagnetic radiation and, eventually, will fly out, losing the necessary energy reserve.

Thus, supermassive black holes, colliding galaxies, and supernovae remain candidates for the role of a cosmic superparticle accelerator. Speaking of black holes, it should be noted that acceleration in this case occurs due to quasar jets: a black hole located in the center of the quasar, as a result of accretion – absorption of surrounding matter – acquires a huge mass and emits super-powerful radiation – a jet, which can serve as a source of particle acceleration.

There is another potential way for a superparticle to form – when it is initially born with ultra-high energy.

Such a fuss about cosmic rays is quite due, because the study of superparticles will help us not only to learn the mysteries of the Universe, but also to discover the connection between them and the physical processes taking place on Earth. Moreover, it has not yet been established whether Oh-My-God particles are really neutral in terms of their effect on the human body – perhaps such atmospheric showers can make changes in our DNA chains.”

I should note that I became interested in this particle, since its discovery on October 15, 1991, was close to the time when I watched the premiere of the film Mona Lisa directed by N. Studnev (October–November 1991) in the cinema and abruptly changed my fate. I wrote about this in the book 19+.

Could it be aliens? Scientists have discovered something strange in space! Astrophysicist Vladimir Surdin (video in Russian)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaIW1Zt308E

“The first radio signal from space was detected in 1973.”

I became interested in this ‘in 1973’, asked a question to Google and opened at 10:10 pm:

The mystery of the ‘Wow!’ signal revealed: A Natural explanation for the Mysterious Radio Signal (August 22, 2024, first link in Russian)

https://www.ixbt.com/news/2024/08/22/raskryta-tajna-signala-wow-estestvennoe-objasnenie-zagadochnogo-radiosignala.html

https://phys.org/news/2024-08-wow-deciphered-hydrogen.html

“In 1977, astronomers received a powerful, unusual radio signal from the constellation Sagittarius, which was called the ‘Wow! Signal’. This signal became public knowledge in the SETI world and caused a lot of excitement. Some thought it was of extraterrestrial origin and could have come from some kind of human-made interference, and some thought it could have been the result of an unexplained natural phenomenon.

The signal was detected by the ‘Big Ear’ radio telescope Ohio State University, which was used in the university's SETI Search for Extraterrestrial intelligence program from 1973 to 1995. This program is the longest running SETI program in history. <…>

New research shows that the ‘Wow!’ it has a very natural explanation.

A study called ‘Arecibo Wow! I: An Astrophysical Explanation for the Wow! Signal’ was conducted by Abel Méndez of the Planetary Habitability Laboratory at the University of Puerto Rico in Arecibo.

The researchers found that the signal was caused by a sudden increase in intensity from stimulated hydrogen line radiation due to a strong short-term radiation source, such as a magnetar flare or a soft repeating gamma-ray burst (SGR) source.

The researchers also found that the ‘Wow!’ there was a brief increase in the brightness of one of several H1 (neutral hydrogen) clouds in the telescope's 'field of view'. The 1977 signal was similar to what Arecibo saw, in many ways. The only difference between the signals seen in Arecibo and the ‘Wow!’ – this is their brightness.

The researchers were able to identify the clouds responsible for the signal, but not the source. The results show that the source is much further away than the clouds that produce the hydrogen signal. This understanding can allow us to pinpoint the exact location of the signal's origin and ensure continuous monitoring of subsequent events.

The ‘Wow!’ initially, it was interpreted by many as a technosignature. By explaining where the signal came from, this study describes a new source. The researchers suggest that the signal may be the first recorded event of an astronomical maser flare in the hydrogen line.

The study also shows that signals like this can be detected using radio telescopes like Arecibo. Scientists found several signals similar to this one during observations from Arecibo between 2017 and 2020. These signals were less intense than ‘Wow!’ but had similar characteristics.”

Astronomers have found out the probable origin of the mysterious ‘wow’ signal from space (link in Russian)

https://hi-tech.mail.ru/news/113873-proishozhdenie-zagadochnogo-vau-signala-iz-kosmosa/

“The search for the source of radiation, which was sometimes attributed to extraterrestrials, took almost 50 years.

The history of the ‘wow’ signal stretches back to 1977, when it was discovered accidentally by the Big Ear radio telescope. Since then, such radio bursts have not been recorded, despite the improvement of technology. This has long led particularly romantic researchers to believe that the signal came from an alien civilization. However, a new study published in IFLScience shows that the mysterious signal most likely has a completely natural origin. <…>

Astronomers had tried many times to find the same signal, including by scanning the same patch of sky. But to no avail. Until scientists from the University of Puerto Rico began studying archived data from the Arecibo radio telescope. They discovered something intriguing in the dataset collected between 2017 and 2020. During that time, the observatory was monitoring nearby red dwarfs, searching for potentially habitable planets. But in several cases, a distinctive signal was detected.

The authors identified it as radiation from interstellar clouds of cold hydrogen. Light from red dwarfs hit these clouds, and the radio telescope recorded this moment. Scientists compared the frequency and characteristics of the bursts with the ‘wow’ signal and realized that they were dealing with the same radiation, although much less intense.

This allowed the researchers to conclude that in 1977, Big Ear accidentally recorded the same process. Only in this case, the cold cloud of hydrogen was illuminated not by a red dwarf, but by some short-term powerful pulse, for example, a flash from a magnetar – a neutron star with an extremely powerful magnetic field. This could explain the high intensity of the signal, as well as the fact that such bursts were no longer recorded – for this to happen, a combination of not very likely circumstances should occur: from the right moment of observation to the hydrogen cloud falling under the flare.”

Iconic Wow! signal may finally have an explanation (it's still not aliens) (August 20, 2024)

It is curious that in 1977, a ‘signal from space’ was recorded, then it was not repeated, and after the final destruction of the Arecibo telescope in 2020, researchers took archival data from it for the period from 2017 to 2020 and finally found out that there was nothing extraordinary.

Arecibo (Radio Observatory, National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center, NAIC, first link in Russian)

https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Аресибо_(обсерватория)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arecibo_Telescope

“The Arecibo main radio telescope was one of the largest single-aperture telescopes in the world. It was put into operation on November 1, 1963; on December 1, 2020, it collapsed as a result of wear and tear of the supporting structure.       <…>

The observatory has a 0.5 MW transmitter for conducting research under the radar astronomy program. With the help of this transmitter, the ‘Arecibo Message’ was sent on November 16, 1974. <…>

The destruction [of the telescope occurred in 2 stages, between which 3 years passed:]

[Prelude] In January 2014, a 6.5-magnitude earthquake caused damage to one of the cables, but it was repaired.

[Stage 1] On September 20, 2017, hurricane Maria snapped the 29-meter radar antenna of the radio telescope in half; its debris penetrated the main mirror of the telescope and damaged the auxiliary one.

[Stage 2] On August 10, 2020, during the Atlantic typhoon [hurricane] Isaiah, one of the steel cables attached to the three masts holding the radio wave receiver at an altitude of 137 meters burst; accordingly, the load on the remaining cables increased. The telescope's mirror was severely damaged by a burst cable that tore a hole about 30 meters long.

On November 7, one of the main steel supporting cables of the radio telescope broke, which destroyed part of the mirror itself. On November 19, NSF announced the decision to close the radio telescope.

On December 1, NSF reported the collapse of an 820-ton structure with receiving equipment on the main mirror of the radio telescope, which led to the destruction of the latter. <…>

Scientific contribution of the observatory [selected]

On November 16, 1974, a message to other civilizations was sent in the direction of the globular star cluster M13, located 25,000 light-years away in the constellation of Hercules.

According to experts, the failure of the Arecibo radio telescope actually put an end to the search for extraterrestrial civilizations.”

Farewell to Arecibo (link in Russian)

https://habr.com/ru/articles/529180/

“The Arecibo radio telescope, unlike many of its smaller counterparts, was not just an ‘ear’, it could also ‘speak’, i.e. work as a radar. This opened up unique opportunities for scientists-experimental astronomy. For the most part, astronomy is a passive science: scientists create scientific instruments and observe, collect signals and light that come to Earth naturally. Arecibo also shone in the radio range itself, and could receive reflected rays. So he managed to map Venus with a resolution of up to 1 km. More precisely, only the Soviet Venera and the American Magellan were able to create maps.”

Maria (hurricane)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Maria

“Entering the Caribbean Sea, Maria weakened slightly to a Category 4 hurricane due to land interaction with the island of Dominica, however it quickly restrengthened to a Category 5 hurricane and attained its peak intensity with winds of 175 mph (280 km/h) and a pressure of 908 mbar (hPa; 26.81 inHg) at 3:00 UTC on September 20 while southeast of Puerto Rico; this ranks it as the twelfth-most intense Atlantic hurricane since reliable records began. An eyewall replacement cycle caused Maria weaken to Category 4 strength before it made landfall near Yabucoa, Puerto Rico at 10:15 UTC (6:15 am local time) that day with winds of 155 mph (250 km/h) – the most intense to strike on the island since the 1928 San Felipe Segundo hurricane.”

At first I was interested in the possibly false information about 1973, then the next link linked to 2017, Arecibo, and a ‘similar signal’. Naturally, I went to the Wiki article about Arecibo, where I found out that the first serious destruction of this telescope occurred on September 20, 2017, which is 10 days after the end of my Fantastic Week.

Arecibo sent the first signal to space – ‘extraterrestrial civilizations’ – in 1974, interestingly, this is one of the main plot points of Liu Cixin's book “3 Body Problem”. And I'll remark (I noticed this on November 13, 2025, at 12:44 am) that on September 20, 2017, it was the Arecibo telescope's radar antenna that collapsed. That is, it was the part of the telescope that sent a signal into space in 1974.

That's what's so different about Primitive history. That's the beauty of it. No matter what any of us does, it exists precisely as it has always existed.

The calculator calculates the number of days that have passed between two dates (link in Russian)

https://planetcalc.ru/274/

I found out that the calculator I selected for Google search: ‘day calculator’ (it was the second number in the list) has the name Planetary Calculator. When I once again calculated the number of days between July 27, 1972 and April 27, 1973 (the second date is my birth, the first is the possible date of conception), and got the result – 274 days, I noticed that this calculator has the number 274 in the link, i.e. we can say that it is 274th calculator among 1106 calculators on this specialized site.

Numerology uses a combination of a person's day, month, and year of birth to understand something. If we combine the day and month (without the year) of my birth date in sequence, we get 2704 or 274.

Human pregnancy (link in Russian)

https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Беременность_человека

“From the moment of conception, on average, pregnancy lasts approximately 9 months (266–270 days), with extreme values of 250–285 days.”

Why do I think my conception date could have been 27.07?

On Sunday, July 16, 2023, my mother told me that my birth took place with great difficulty, ‘in pain’. In the morning of April 27, 1973, the doctor decided to terminate the pregnancy by artificial [medical] methods. My guess is that special chemicals were used to stimulate the birth process and tools were used to reach the baby. As a result, I had a massive hematoma on the top of my head and the doctors told my mother that I would have serious psychological problems in my life, and for this reason the child ‘should be kept in a greenhouse’.

The doctor reasoned his decision to terminate the pregnancy artificially by saying that my mother was already due to give birth, and I was expected to be a large child, and if we continue to wait for the natural development of events, problems could arise for her.

That is, I was supposed to be born naturally in a few days, maybe May 1–2, 1973. I assume that according to the doctor, by April 27 the gestation period had already exceeded the average of 270 days by 4 days. That is, these 4 days could be decisive in his argument.

She also told me a curious story that after I was born, the next morning, the wrong baby was brought to her, the children were mixed up, but she noticed the substitution. I guess it was easy to do, because I had a head injury.

In any case, I do not know the exact date of conception and can only assume that it could have been, as well as July 27, 1972, and in the days adjacent to this date.

I will note that the date 27.07 appeared in my history not at all because I assumed the day of my conception on this particular date, but because when I found out about the failures in Berezniki, after reading on the Internet that the date of the first failure at the mine fell on the 27th (the night from July 26 to July 27, 1986), I decided to count the number of days from that date to my birthday. It was precisely because of the exact numerical coincidence of the day in the dates (both had the 27th) that I became interested in this event. If the day of the failure in Berezniki hadn't been the 27th of the month, I likely would have passed it by and would not have noted for myself the events related to the geological catastrophe near Berezniki.

On June 25, 2023, I found the following interesting date in history:

The Jerusalem Temple (link in Russian)

https://toldot.com/Hram.html

“The Temple of Solomon was destroyed by the Babylonians 410 years later, and the Jews were taken captive. After 70 years, the exiles returned, rebuilt Jerusalem, and rebuilt the Temple on the Temple Mount, which became known as the Second Temple. It stood for 420 years and was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD (according to another version, in 68 AD).

On 9 Av 3338 from the creation of the world (AM), the Babylonians destroyed and burned the First Temple in Jerusalem – 410 years after its construction. The inhabitants of the country were driven to Babylonia. The Babylonian exile lasted for seventy years – until the Jews returned to their country and rebuilt the Temple with great effort. But on 9 Av 3828 (AM), four hundred and twenty years after its construction, the Second Temple was destroyed and burned by the Romans.

All the greatness and significance of the Temple was that it was the place of the Creator's presence in this World. The Creator is present everywhere, but there it was felt most strongly. Therefore, constant miracles took place in the Temple, the laws of nature, as if they had no power there. But that's not all. In the Temple there was not only the presence of the Creator, but also the spiritual essence of the entire Jewish people, the very one through which the Glory of the Creator, as it were, descended into this world. Their unity was the spiritual, invisible Temple. This is the foundation. And subsequently, a material, tangible Temple was built around the Temple of the Spirit. Since then, the life of a Jew at that time revolved around the Temple. He was the heart of the people. This is about the Temple in one word.

Based on this and in connection with our topic, a question should arise. If the Temple was a place of the presence of God himself, then such a Temple must have existed forever. Is there any force in the world that can destroy it?!

Answer. Indeed, no power in the world could destroy the Jewish Temple except the Jews themselves. Except for those for whom it was built. After all, as mentioned, the unity of the Creator and the people of Israel was the essence of the spiritual Temple. Therefore, only the dissolution of this Unity could destroy the Temple.

And how could this happen? Like the dissolution of a marriage between a husband and wife. In all the holy books, the relationship between the Creator and the people of Israel is likened to that between a husband and wife.

But when the Jews became mired in sins that cannot be committed unintentionally, only on purpose, in spite of and out of touch with the Creator, then the spiritual impurity generated by these sins became incompatible with His holiness. And this led to the dissolution of the union. The presence of the Creator has left this world. When the Jewish people no longer appreciated the miracle of the Creator's presence in their midst, they banished the Creator's presence by their behavior. It was then that the destruction of the Spiritual Temple itself led to the destruction of the material Temple.”

The First Temple (Solomon's Temple) (second link in Russian)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomon%27s_Temple

“The First Temple, also the Temple of Solomon (950–586 BC) – was a Jewish temple in Jerusalem, the name of the Jerusalem temple before its destruction by the forces of Nebuchadnezzar II in 586 BC. Its construction is described in The Hebrew Bible, within the book 3 Kings, chapters 8–9 and 2 Chronicles, chapter 3.

Transfer of the Ark of the Covenant

According to biblical narrative, the purpose of Solomon’s Temple was to store the Ark of the Covenant. 1 Kings 8:1–9 and 2 Chronicles 5:2–10 record that in the seventh month of the year, at the feast of Tabernacles, the priests and the Levites brought the Ark of the Covenant from the City of David. Within the temple, the Ark was placed inside the Holy of Holies.

Destruction by the Babylonians

Date of extinction: August 586 BC and 422 BC.

According to the Bible, the Temple was plundered by King Nebuchadnezzar II of the Neo-Babylonian Empire when the Babylonians attacked Jerusalem during the brief reign of Jehoiachin c. 598 BC (2 Kings 24:13).

A decade later, Nebuchadnezzar again besieged Jerusalem and after 30 months finally breached the city walls in 587/6 BCE. The city finally fell to his army in July 586/5 BCE. A month later, Nebuzaradan, commander of Nebuchadnezzar's guard, was sent to burn and demolish the city. According to the Bible, ‘he set fire to the Temple of Yahweh, the royal palace and all the houses of Jerusalem’ (2 Kings 25:9). Everything worth plundering was then removed and taken to Babylon (2 Kings 25:13–17).

Jewish tradition holds that the Temple was destroyed on Tisha B'Av, the 9th day of Av (Hebrew calendar), the same date of the destruction of the Second Temple. Rabbinic sources state that the First Temple stood for 410 years and, based on the 2nd-century work Seder Olam Rabbah, place construction in 832 BC and destruction in 422 BC (3338 AM), 165 years later than secular estimates. The Jewish historian Josephus says: ‘the temple was burnt four hundred and seventy years, six months, and ten days after it was built.’

Most of the inhabitants of Jerusalem were killed, and the rest were taken captive and taken as slaves to Babylonia (the Babylonian captivity). The Ark of the Covenant was lost.

In memory of the destruction of the temple and the events that accompanied it, four fasts were established, among which the fast of 9 Av marked the day when the temple was burned.”

Nebuchadnezzar II (second link in Russian)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebuchadnezzar_II

https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Навуходоносор_II

“In 589 BC, Zedekiah refused to pay tribute to Nebuchadnezzar, and he was closely followed in this by Ithobaal III, the king of Tyre. In 587 BC, Ammon, Edom and Moab likewise rebelled. In response to Zedekiah's uprising, Nebuchadnezzar conquered and destroyed the Kingdom of Judah in 586 BC, one of the great achievements of his reign. The campaign, which probably ended in the summer of 586 BC, resulted in the plunder and destruction of the city of Jerusalem [on July 18, 586 BC, Jerusalem, suffering from famine and pestilence, fell – in the second link], a permanent end to Judah, and it led to the Babylonian captivity, as the Jews were captured and deported to Babylonia. Archaeological excavations confirm that Jerusalem and the surrounding area was destroyed and depopulated.”

Some sources give the date of the destruction of the First Temple as 422 BC, but most sources give the date of 586 BC (or 587 BC).

“In July 586 BC, the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II captured and destroyed Jerusalem, and the First Temple was completely destroyed. Almost all the inhabitants of the city, including the last king of Judah, Zedekiah, were taken captive and resettled in Mesopotamia.

However, the Babylonian captivity of the inhabitants of Judea lasted less than 50 years. In 539 BC, the Persian king Cyrus II the Great (559–530 BC) conquered Babylon and incorporated it into the Achaemenid empire. The peoples who were forcibly settled in Mesopotamia, Cyrus allowed to return to their countries. The Book of Ezra tells us that in the first year of his reign, King Cyrus issued a decree, according to which the Jews were allowed to rebuild the Temple.”

Second Temple (link in Russian)

https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Второй_храм

“It is generally accepted to date the completion of the Second Temple to 516 BC, but there is an assumption that the end dates back to 417 BC. In Jewish tradition, the construction dates back to 348 BC.

The period between the destruction of the First Temple (the Temple of Solomon) and the construction of the Second Temple is 70 years (586–516 BC).

The construction was finally completed only under Agrippa II, during the reign of Roman procurator Albinus (62–64 AD). That is, just 6 years before the destruction of the temple by the Romans in 70.”

“4. The fast of the ‘Fifth Month’ is the saddest day of our year, the anniversary of the destruction of both temples – the Ninth of Av. However, this number itself is not mentioned in the Books of the prophets (but the seventh and tenth numbers are mentioned). According to the Talmud, the Temple was set on fire on the evening of the Ninth Av, and it burned all day on the Tenth, and so Yirmiyahu mentions the Tenth (Talmud, Taanit 29a). (This may also have happened during the destruction The Second Temple, as Josephus, who lived through these events, also cites the Tenth Av. Interestingly, in the Talmud, R. Yochanan said that he would prefer to make the Tenth Av a day of fasting, but the rest of the sages do not agree with him, because the main day of misfortune is the beginning of punishment.)

5. There is a dispute among early commentators (Rishonim) about the year in which it was destroyed The Second Temple. The fact is that according to the Talmud, the Temple was destroyed in the year after Shmita (the seventh year). The question is whether this refers to the year of destruction itself, or the year after it. According to some opinions, the Temple was destroyed in 3828, and according to others 3829. It would seem that these years correspond to 68 and 69 years of our era. But most modern sources mention that The second Temple was destroyed in 70 AD. The reason for this is another dispute. The fact is that during the course of history, when the Jews counted the years from the ‘Creation of the world’, sometimes the ‘first year’ consisting of the first ‘five first days of creation’ was taken into account, and sometimes it was not taken into account. According to the Rambam, the Temple was destroyed in the year 3829 AD, which was ‘created’ on Rosh Hashanah, the First Tishre, i.e. not counting the five days of the ‘First Year of Creation’. Since, according to the Rambam, our current calendar also takes into account the year before Adam, the Temple was destroyed in 3830 according to our calendar, i.e. in 70 AD (see Rambam, Mishneh Torah, ‘laws of Shmita’ 10:2, Choshen Mishpat 67:8).”

For the first time, the Gregorian calendar was introduced on October 15, 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII in Catholic countries to replace the former Julian calendar: the next day after Thursday, October 4, was Friday, October 15.

I would also like to point out that, from my perspective, it does not matter at all that I use the translation of dates from the modern Jewish calendar (which was supposedly created in the 9th century AD) to the Gregorian calendar (which begins in 1582) for dates in the BCE or first century AD. This ‘impossible operation’ well illustrates my principle of inverse psychohistory, whereby contemporary events are taken as a reference point, and the events of the past are ‘adjusted’ to fit current reality. (Whoever hasn't adjusted is to blame themselves:).

For reference, the site:

https://ru.chabad.org/calendar/converter_cdo/aid/751533/jewish/-.htm

it does not allow you to use dates before 1601, which is natural, because there is no point in converting dates to a calendar that did not exist at that time:).

923 – what does it mean? (article presumably from 2022, in Russian)

https://модные-слова.рф/8958-923-chto-znachit.html

“923 (also known as 239 or 329) – this number is used as an indication of the end date of the so-called Messianic era (the period between the arrival of the Savior in the world and the complete end of history), namely, we are talking about 2039. According to the Bible, the entire history of humanity fits into 6000 years, which ends in the very year 2039. That is why this numeric code, as if by chance, is very often found in Hollywood films and any media.

923 – something terrible is going to happen on 9/23, that is, on September 23, only the questions remain, in what year will this event happen, and what will it mean? The collapse of the entire global monetary system, the fall of a meteorite, the radiation contamination of most of the Earth, we will soon find out.

The number 239 – there is an opinion that this is the number of the Antichrist, that is, it symbolizes the beginning of the great calamity described in the Bible, or the aliens will finally reveal themselves; there is also an option of atomic war or at least one atomic strike. After all, it is no secret that there are plutonium bombs, and the number of plutonium in the periodic table is 239, and there is also an opinion that there will be a series of some negative events that will have this code or eventually lead to [understanding] the true value of this number.

This code is very important, and everything related to the frequency of its appearance in the media world, i.e. music, movies, clips, and animation, deserves special attention. This code is so important that it is much more common than the well-known number 911, and it is on this basis that we can conclude that the priority of the code 239 is compared to 911. We will hardly ever know the exact value of 923 or 239, but based on indirect signs and references that are hidden in films, it is possible to draw a conclusion about the deep meaning that secret societies put in this number.”

Sergey Kapitsa: The Story of Ten billion (Alexey Aleksenko, in Russian)

https://snob.ru/selected/entry/49621/

“Even before the war [World War II], the Scottish demographer Paul McKendrick proposed a formula for human growth. And this growth was not exponential, but hyperbolic – very slow at the beginning and rapidly accelerating at the end. According to his formula, in 2030, the number of humanity should tend to infinity, but this is clearly absurd: people are biologically unable to give birth to an infinite number of children in a finite time. More importantly, this formula perfectly describes the growth of humanity in the past. This means that the rate of growth has always been proportional not to the number of people living on earth, but to the square of this number.

Physicists and chemists know what this relationship means: this is a ‘second-order reaction’, where the speed of the process depends not on the number of participants, but on the number of interactions between them. When something is proportional to ‘en-square’, it is a collective phenomenon. Such, for example, is the nuclear chain reaction in an atomic bomb. If each member of… community writes a comment to everyone else, then the total number of comments will just be proportional to the square of the number of participants. The square of the number of people is the number of connections between them, a measure of the complexity of the ‘humanity’ system. The higher the difficulty, the faster the growth.”

“The song ‘Trolleybus’ tells in a philosophical way about fate, the soul and the predestination of life's path. The video highlights the philosophical implications of the song. In the video, the band members ride around Moscow in a blue trolleybus.

‘Everyone is free to carry their own burden for years. Only path selection predetermined by the wires. Day after day, a trolleybus crawls through the centuries. Everything will be the same as long as the trolleybus is crawling,’ the song’s lyrics sound.

At the end of the clip, the trolleybus lifts off from the Ground and goes into space.”

Once upon a time, Pythagoras, the ancient Greek thinker and father of numerology, said that the number 27 is a symbol of the World Soul.”

Number 27 (link in Russian)

https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/27_(число)

“’Tridevyat’ – the number 27 = 3*9, which corresponds to some peoples – the lunar month according to the ancient calendar. The symbolic number 27 in various combinations is present in almost all Russian fairy tales and epics: the hero, as a rule, is looking for a bride ‘za tridevyat zemel’ [far away, ‘за тридевять земель’], and he is also looking for a firebird there. In terms of numerical symbolism, Russian folklore is ‘thoroughly triune’, reflecting the lifestyle of our ancestors, their beliefs, and traditions. According to the analytical psychology of Carl Gustav Jung, a fairy tale reflects collective nature, the collective unconscious, and archetypal images. In fairy tales, the real world is contrasted with another, far away world, lying ‘beyond the three-nine lands’. The famous researcher of Russian folklore V. Propp connects the symbolic meaning of the number 27 (faraway kingdom, faraway lands) with images of the sun and horizon, U. M. Breiger – with a blooming garden, other researchers – with the afterlife.

The term tridevyat is also used in Greek-Byzantine ecclesiastical-legal texts, from which it was borrowed by ancient Russian sources. In the translation of Efremovskaya kormchaya of the XII century, it is said that it is necessary to atone for murder during 3 stages, each of which lasts 9 years.

In Pythagorean and Plato's number 3 in the cube (i.e. 27) and the number 2 in the cube (i.e. 8) symbolize the cosmos.

27 books contain the second part of the Bible (New Testament).

An additional 5 characters were added to the Hebrew alphabet to produce the number 27, a three-fold sequence of the number 9.

In Kabbalah, there are 27 letters corresponding to 27 channels of communication with God and 27 combinations of God's names – 13 explicit and 14 secret.

Troubadours (second link in Russian)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troubadour

https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Трубадуры

“The Troubadours created a kind of culture of love – fine amor (courtly love), which is the main content of their lyrics. The cult of ideal love came to troubadour poetry from the Arabic poetry of Spain, which celebrated chaste mystical love. Researchers find many similarities between the courtly love of troubadours and the understanding of love in Sufism that has penetrated into Muslim poetry. Ibn Hazm, an Arab-Spanish poet of the XI century, dedicated his treatise ‘The Dove’s Necklace’ (Ṭawq al-ḥamāmah) to the ideal form of love.

It was common for a troubadour to worship a Lady, usually married and standing above him on the social ladder, and the class inequality was strongly emphasized. Love for a married woman puts an insurmountable barrier, this is an indispensable condition of a courtly situation. The desire for a Lady is endless: the goal of courtly love is not the possession of an object of worship, but the difficult but joyful spiritual improvement of a man, including the improvement of poetic skill. The result of the cult of the ‘Beautiful Lady’ was the rehabilitation of earthly joy and earthly love, the worship of woman, which transformed her from a lower-order being into an ideal. Some researchers believe that the choice of a married lady as the object of worship was determined by the fact that, unlike a girl, she is at a higher level of spiritual development.”

“Further, the book already consists of successive intoxicating stories that add up to the narrative of an integral religious teaching of the ‘prophetic’ type. For those who have studied different religions, it may be somewhat similar to the books of Mormons and the ideas of Scientologists, or to the Eastern doctrines of the transmigration of souls in a primitive retelling. But in this case, the general religious reasoning of ‘the apostle-prophet’ is also richly seasoned with national Messianism.”

That evening, or rather that night, I asked Lubov that later the Lord would reveal the mystery (if, of course, it exists) of the gospel number 153, which is given in the last, 21st chapter of the Gospel of John. <…>

Based on this, I concluded that in 2022 (2009 + 13 = 2022) there will be an event that is as significant as the arrival of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, into the world, which marked the beginning of a new chronology and a new Christian era in the history of mankind.”

153 (number, link in Russian)

https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/153_(число)

According to the text of the book, at the end of the first face-to-face meeting with ‘God-Seeress’, Savchenko asked a question that worried him about the number 153. Then, immediately or after some time, maybe even after a few years, he connected the plane crash and the number of years of the surviving girl, and I assume that this became one of the reasons for the publication of his book at the end of 2021 (on the eve of an important, from his point of view, 2022).

I would not be surprised if the ability to connect things that are completely far from each other is the next level of human development, so to speak, the next stage in the evolution of personality:).

Savchenko was the governor of the Belgorod region for almost 27 years, 6 consecutive terms (October 11, 1993 – September 22, 2020). He is the record holder among regional leaders in the history of Russia for the longest time in office. Left the post (according to the Wiki) on the day of the autumn equinox 2020.

Perhaps the key to understanding the book The Upheaval…, and the term Apocalypse is a Shock (Upheaval), followed by a reassembly of the personality, on a new Foundation – in connection with two events that pretty much battered the inner world of the governor. Further quotes from his book “The Upheaval…”:

1) “In the early autumn of 2012, a well-known public figure, Nikolai P., visited Belgorod. After he held his events, we met with him. We talked about a lot of things: the state of culture, people, and regional affairs.

During the conversation, I had a feeling he wanted to say something important. And my hunch was right. Approaching me, Nikolai looked up and said: ‘The main thing is to get recognition not in this life, but there – in eternal life.’ Then, looking into my eyes, he said: ‘Do you want to know what the Lord thinks of you?’”

2) “The second event took place in Belgorod and with the submission of the media went down in history as the crime of the ‘Belgorod shooter’. Its essence is as follows: April 22, 2013 <…>

‘Dear son, this sign was given to you by Satan. Your Light is eternal, and he wants to show his strength… Light is a visibility for evil, and it sees the Light rising over Belgorod.’”

The Upheaval… (Zavarkina reads, in Russian)

https://dzen.ru/a/ZVOsIOK50TGCPfgp

“The Lord also speaks about Vysotsky and Bosch, the Bermuda Triangle, the coronavirus and many other things. The Lord in the ‘The Upheaval…’ is omniscient, extremely talkative and adores the capital truths, ornately, graphomaniacally stated.”

“The image of a serious, competent, well-known political figure known for his firmness and consistency cannot be compared with the fact that neither more nor less testifies to the appearance of the ‘new Bible’. <…>

In terms of form and content, I would call it ‘spiritual copywriting’, which is very free in interpretation – it is in this manner that the presentation of common truths takes place on behalf of Monostone (the God of the Earth), the product of the World Brain.”

Comment from the article: “Who they talked to, who before them called themselves God, let them think for themselves. But a book is a book. Even in this book, you can find useful things for yourself.”

From my point of view, there is no practical difference whether people consciously do certain things, or whether the Spirit directs people's actions (and for witnesses and unwitting performers, the basis of what is happening is hidden or seems to be pure chance). It is for this reason that ‘worldwide conspiracy theories’ do not matter.

Magical stories of Belgorod (Margarita Troitsyna, November 24, 2017, in Russian)

https://www.myjane.ru/articles/text/?id=19384

“They say that in Belgorod and its environs they often observe a variety of devilry – flying saucers, mysterious balloons, the notorious chupacabra… According to one version, all the strange events are connected with the magical past of these places.

The Bald Mountain was also supposedly located here, where witches held their sabbaths. It was here that Bulgakov's Margarita was initiated on the eve of the Woland’s ball.

And some believe that a space-time portal is located in the Belgorod region. For example, in 1943 there was such a story. During the battles for the liberation of the region, the Nazis decided to take part of the archive and various valuables out of the city. Covered with tarpaulins, trucks with wooden crates were seen driving through Tavrovo towards the village of Nikolsky. And suddenly, at one turn, they disappeared without a trace, and then they were seen already empty, returning back…”

Comment from the article: “I know that within the city limits of Belgorod itself there are places where crooked pines grow. And in the area of the mentioned Tavrovo UFO chose a ravine, where they can often be seen.”

Childhood’s End

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childhood%27s_End

“Childhood's End is a 1953 science fiction novel by the British author Arthur C. Clarke. The story follows a peaceful alien invasion of Earth by mysterious Overlords, whose arrival begins decades of apparent utopia under indirect alien rule, at the cost of human identity and culture.

Clarke's idea for the book began with his short story ‘Guardian Angel’ (published in New Worlds #8, winter 1950), which he expanded into a novel in 1952. <…>

The book is about the last generation of people and the very last person. It tells about how powerful and mysterious aliens blocked people's way into space, and about the subsequent fate of humanity, its purpose and place in the universe. [The following is a quote from the novel:]

<…>

…The universe was vast, but that fact terrified him less than its mystery. George was not a person who thought deeply on such matters, yet sometimes it seemed to him that men were like children amusing themselves in some secluded playground, protected from the fierce realities of the outer world. <…>

‘Tell me this, then,’ he said, ‘this is something else you’ve never explained. When your race first came to Earth, back in the distant past, what went wrong? Why had you become the symbol of fear and evil to us?”

Rashaverak smiled. He did not do this as well as Karellen could, but it was a fair imitation.

‘No one ever guessed, and you see now why we could never tell you. There was only one event that could have made such an impact upon humanity. And that event was not at the dawn of history, but at its very end.’

‘What do you mean?’ asked Jan.

‘When our ships entered your skies a century and a half ago, that was the first meeting of our two races, though of course we had studied you from a distance. And yet you feared and recognized us, as we knew that you would. It was not precisely a memory. You have already had proof that time is more complex than your science ever imagined. For that memory was not of the past, but of the future – of those closing years when your race knew that everything was finished. We did what we could, but it was not an easy end. And because we were there, we became identified with your race’s death. Yes, even while it was still ten thousand years in the future! It was as if a distorted echo had reverberated round the closed circle of time, from the future to the past. Call it not a memory, but a premonition.’”

The novel mentions the ‘closed circle of time’, but I had similar thoughts earlier, before January 28, 2024 at 10:51 am in the process of reading the novel, I came across this term, although when I first read it, more than 20 years ago, it did not make a strong impression on me.

Transcendence

“We have lost the sense of this higher order, and things will get worse and worse, culminating perhaps in a nuclear holocaust – the destruction predicted in the Apocalyptic texts. Only our apocalypse will be absurd and ridiculous because it will not be related to any transcendence.”

– Eugène Ionesco, writer, from an interview in 1984

This is a natural way to get rid of the feeling of self-importance, because if you shift the focus of your attention to a certain Transcendence, you feel your insignificance, which is very useful in various everyday situations.

Comment from the article: “You will soon invent Kant, if you deal with transcendence. But before that, we need to resolve the scholastic dispute – is it possible to think nonexistent? And does everything conceivable existing?”

The idea of the Transcendent in the history of human culture (V. Ya. Kudashov, in Russian)

https://cyberleninka.ru/article/n/ideya-transtsendentnogo-v-istorii-chelovecheskoy-kultury

“The idea of the 'transcendent' belongs to the range of fundamental meanings of human existence, expressing some organic aspiration inherent in our consciousness. This immanence is confirmed by the fact that the idea of the ‘transcendent’ has been present in our consciousness since ancient times, taking on different forms in it. Moreover, the religious meaning of the transcendent is only one of the forms of existence of this idea.

The word ‘transcendent’ (from the Latin transcendere, which is a combination of trans —‘beyond’ and scandere – ‘to climb’) we denote a set of meanings that, despite the variety of ways of their comprehension (thought, religious faith, experience, intuition, mystical experience), express certain aspects of the limitations of our world: perception, experience, thinking; and the presence of a transcendent being – outside the boundaries of our world – superempirical, superphysical, the supernatural.”

Transcendence in psychology (link in Russian)

https://samka.co/psihologiya/trans-endentnost-v-psihologii-opredelenie-ponyatiya-prostymi-slovami/

“The red thread in the conversation about transcendence is the search for the meaning of life. It can be different – to survive, to have children, to write a book, to present a new idea to society, or to protect the poor from starvation.

Transcendence can also have another connotation – unity with all living things or with people with whom you have something in common. This aspect comes from the works of Carl Gustav Jung.

Transcendence in psychology can be viewed from many points of view. At the same time, one thing is always important – the opportunity to go beyond the boundaries of your existence, find the meaning of life and live consciously.”

A person's search for meaning in combinations of different dates in different historical periods – this, it seems to me, is generated by the influence of Transcendence, if it has a location outside the flow of time. For the resulting arguments presuppose the existence of some timeless formula that connects different dates, rejecting as insignificant, the progressive flow of time.

For Transcendence, a typical situation is when the repeatability of dates is more important than their sequence.

The study of the relationship between different events that occurred at different points in space also suggests the influence of Transcendence, if it does not accept necessity (importance) distances between objects (or, as with time, the repeatability of distances is more important than their direction (location)).

The study of the life path of one human assumes the influence of Transcendence, if it does not accept the existence of other people in his personal world (or, as in the case of time and space, the repeatability of these people's characteristics is more important than their personal individuality).

“And since the world itself no longer makes sense, the only way to regain a philosophical foothold is to return to the Cartesian concept of cogito. This is what Husserl expanded to a great extent, according to his phenomenology, the external world does not exist by itself, but is constituted by consciousness (i.e., recreated in the transcendental ego). Existentialism also shows the same loss from the unreliability of the external world, from its meaninglessness. Hence, too, all discussions about how meaning is given to the world, what meaning and meaning are in general.”

Probabilistic Future

“It took six months for the average Cub to learn all the truth, to discover that he could never go home again in a very literal way. It wasn't Eternity's law, alone, that stopped him, but the frigid fact that home as he knew it might very well no longer exist, might, in a sense, never have existed.”

Comment from the article: “Probability waves exist in quantum mechanics, right? Where the probability is maximum – there is ‘our reality’. Where is the other ‘probability maximum’ (the wave has multiple maxima) there is a ‘parallel reality’.”

Posted on May 5, 2024 at 11:52 am:

You will say that it is normal for events of different significance to follow each other, while more important events may well follow less important ones, and vice versa.

In the case of a famous character, it is the Resurrection that is the central event, and it is believed that ‘he deliberately went to the cross and death, so that the Resurrection event would come later.’ Of course, we can say that he knew his future, and decided to implement it. But there is a nuance…

The future, as many people understand it, is a probabilistic concept, and if a person has a certain goal, then there are several possible ways to achieve it. For example, a human can sacrifice himself in order to ‘quickly’ reach death, or achieve it in a similar way to death, but having lived qualitatively and fully all his life, until the last day, as the creator gave him. In both cases, the goal is the same, only in the first case, a person voluntarily (desirefully) seeks to violate the laws of the universe.

But if in the case of the traditional course of his life, a person cannot always obtain the desired goal? This is possible only if this goal is not a probabilistic, but a real event, only from the future, and, therefore, this event is stronger than current events, its gravity is immutable and overwhelming, and it is a sign of the impending inverse personal psychohistory of a given person. That is, this event is coming from the future, but it does not belong to the probabilistic structure of reality, and if an individual does not change his fate at a given point in time, then he will miss the intersection with the real future and remain on the path to his probabilistic future.

“3. Does the wind blow if there is no person nearby? No, it's not blowing. Masses of air move. But there is no wind, if you can understand it.

4. The higher-ranked the ‘player of life’, the more reality he forms around himself.”

On the evening of August 9, 2024, I talked to East about my inverse psychohistory and for the first time I explained more or less completely, what it is.

First, of course, it is the life story of a particular person. Not necessarily mine, but other psychohistories with different personalities are quite possible.

Secondly, this is not an ordinary story, when events follow one another and often one follows from another, in an order determined by the passage of time, but just the opposite, events in a human's life are predetermined, but not in the past, but in the future.

A situation where events are predetermined in the past is called a ‘predicted life’, which implies that the individual is limited in his path, and makes decisions to be in the future at a certain point and in the right state. It's a kind of fatalism.

In the case of an ‘inverse’ life of a person, he is not limited in making decisions, and being in the future, it is not difficult to ‘adapt’ to his already past life path. Naturally, I mean a timeless influence, but it is difficult to imagine it, it will be much easier to realize it as an ‘influence from the future’.

I have already written several ‘entities’, but what difference does it make if there was an influence from the past, from the future, or from the timeless vector? The difference is fundamental. If the influence was woven into the fabric of existence in the past, then this is the most natural path, because when created, the fabric of the world will live in harmony with the foreign invasion. In other cases (from the future, or due to a timeless influence), the fabric of existence will be changed ‘on the fly’, and these deformations will undoubtedly lead to a loss of its stability. And of course, such barbaric transformations will not be from a good life, but will arise as a result of the accumulation of unresolved problems.

Because of the alien nature of changes, the MNC paradox arises, when the impact should be reduced to the minimum necessary, so that the object of impact feels its illusory, fantasy connection, and at the same time its life should undergo changes only to the minimum extent. In other words, according to my theory, some fictional, creative connection will make a difference and be worth making small changes to the world.

I can reason that I do not feel any connection at all by nature, and I do not seek or need any connections; as I wrote earlier, this is the foundation of my Infinity. But I believe that the process of establishing a connection is the creativity (task) of the Spirit.

A clear consequence of my theory is the freedom of expression of human will.

In my psychohistory, the key point is to reject the probabilistic future. If the future is predetermined, then there are no probabilities, the event either occurs or does not, which greatly simplifies the life of a particular person.

An important role is played by external events, which can either remain (for the participating character) superfluous garbage, or acquire some importance (regardless of the time and place of their location), and in this case – be part of his personal psychohistory. And at the same time, they do not enter as a probability, and their internal transformation (adjustment) is not required, they arrive in their original, complete form. We can say that if we take an event with a 100% probability, then this is much more efficient than taking the same event with a probability of say 30%. Also, events with a 100% probability of occurrence give this person independence in their analysis and operation.

Of course, it is a great happiness for me that with these consequences that I have accumulated while exploring my inner world, I have ‘turned off’ the probabilistic nature of events from my life. I don't like to hell the hypothesis that many Earthlings use that ‘everything in our life happens with some probability’. I believe that this is a road to nowhere, a dead-end and unpromising path of personal development.

What significance does the psychohistory of a particular human have for other individuals? Of course, I can assume that there is none, but seriously, I do not know what effect it can produce, just as I do not know what color the house I am observing is painted, but on the other hand, which I do not see.

The anthropic principle (first link in Russian)

https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Антропный_принцип

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropic_principle

“The anthropic principle – the argument ‘We see the universe like this, because only in such a universe could an observer, a person, have appeared.’ <…>

Wheeler's aforementioned PAP (Participatory Anthropic Principle) means that universes without an intelligent observer do not acquire the status of reality. The reason for this is that only an observer is able to perform a reduction of the quantum state, which translates an ensemble of possible states into a single, real one. <…>

The phrase ‘anthropic principle’ first appeared in Brandon Carter's paper at a symposium in Krakow in 1973. Carter, a theoretical astrophysicist, articulated the anthropic principle in reaction to the Copernican principle, which states that humans do not occupy a privileged position in the Universe. Carter said: ‘Although our situation is not necessarily central, it is inevitably privileged to some extent.’”

“Von Neumann reduction (wave function collapse) is an instantaneous change in the description of the quantum state (wave function) of an object that occurs during measurement.

Since this process is essentially non-local, and the instantaneity of the change formally implies the propagation of interactions faster than the speed of light, it is assumed that it is not a physical process, but a mathematical method of description.”

“Film director Andrei Yermash (Andrey Ermash) went for blatant plagiarism – the film's finale was shot in the same area and with the same scenery as in Andrei Tarkovsky’s film Stalker – in Estonia, near an abandoned power plant on the Jagala river. At the same time, for a long time after the appearance of the Time Capsule in the 20th century, the scene is shown in the same way as in Stalker – and the foam on the water (waste from the local pulp and paper mill), and the movement of the water itself, and the ruins of the old power plant. The father of the director of The End of Eternity, Philipp Yermash, who was Chairman of the State Committee of the USSR Council of Ministers for Cinematography from 1972 to 1986, in 1983 contributed to the fact that Andrei Tarkovsky remained abroad as a non-returnee, with the deprivation of Soviet citizenship. In this regard, the quote can be interpreted as a mockery of the work of the outstanding Soviet director, especially since the plans of flowing water, which are dramatic and meditative in Tarkovsky’s films, have turned into empty long notes that do not fit into the overall dynamic nature of the film.”

On January 2, 2023, I became interested in this episode from the movie The End of Eternity:

The End of Eternity (film, USSR, dir. Andrei Yermash, 1987, in Russian)

http://www.kinoexpert.ru/index.asp?comm=4&num=5033

“The ending of the film was shot in the same place as most scenes from Andrei Tarkovsky’s film Stalker – in Estonia, 25 kilometers from Tallinn, on the Yagala [Yagala-Yoa, Jägala] river near the destroyed power plant. If you look at the footage where the characters of Stalker are getting lost near the destroyed doorway (the scene before and after going to the ‘dry tunnel’) and the footage where Harlan goes to shoot the Time Capsule in The End of Eternity, we will see the same shots. More than that! In the film The End of Eternity we also see the waste of the pulp and paper mill, which dumped all the most toxic waste into the Yagala river – a terrible foam on the water. Why did Yermash do this? Just liked the nature? An attempt to mock Tarkovsky? An attempt to show that the Zone in Stalker did not arise from scratch – but as a result of the annihilation of a Time Capsule? I didn't find a single mention on the Web. But the fact of direct borrowing is obvious. Moreover, the film found many discrepancies with the novel: hidden centuries in the film begin in the 1,000th century, while in the novel they begin in the 70,000th, the ending is pessimistic, unlike the novel. But this is just a very competent, in my opinion, move of the screenwriter.”

“When Harlan goes to shoot at the Time capsule, he comes out of the destroyed building, from the very door near which the heroes stopped in the movie Stalker. A peculiar quote – after all, it was at this time, at the end of the XX century that the Zone in the film Stalker appears.”

Episodes from two movies, with references to the Zone:

In the movie Stalker:

(1:10:53) The Writer and Stalker arrive at a strange place called the ‘dry tunnel’ and pass by the opening;

(1:12:30) they discover that the Professor is lost;

(1:14:01) The Writer and Stalker come out of the doorway and find the Professor:

“Here he is!” <…>

“How did you get here?”

“I crawled most of the way on all fours.””

“It's unbelievable. But how did you manage to overtake us?”

“How to overtake us? I came back here for my backpack.” <…>

“Where did our nut come from?”

“My God, it's a trap! Here the Porcupine specially hung a nut. How did the Zone let us through? For God's sake, I'm not going to take a step now until … a good deal.”

(1:17:45) A black dog appears, and the episode “Stalker's Dream” begins a little later.

The zone allowed the Professor to return for his backpack, and even contributed to this, as a result, he overtook his companions, although he moved on all fours (an allusion to a monkey with a grenade). Well, in his backpack was an atomic mine, which could possibly, if used in a Room, destroy the Zone.

Naturally, after such a plot twist on the part of the Zone, the Stalker had a dream about the upcoming Apocalypse:

(1:24:28) “And behold, there was a great earthquake…” (Revelation Ap. St. John the Evangelist (Apocalypse) 6:12–17).

(1:28:52) “On the same day two of them went to a village about 60 stages away, called…” (Luke 24:13–18).

In the movie The End of Eternity:

(Episode 2, 53:13) Harlan walks past the doorway and sees a Time Capsule;

(Episode 2, 54:15) he destroys it.

I remembered where I had seen this Time Capsule earlier in another piece of fiction. In my childhood, there was a book by Jules Verne “20 thousand leagues under the sea”, published in Russian in paperback around 1973–1977. I don't remember exactly at what age I got my hands on this book, most likely it was in 1982–1983, when I was 9–10 years old.

I remember and was very impressed as a child by the black-and-white illustration from this book, where the underwater ship Nautilus is depicted, it is almost completely submerged, only its wheelhouse is visible above the water, Captain Nemo stands on the deck with his arms folded and looks into the distance.

It was just a vivid fragmentary impression, it did not extend to the whole novel, which I was not particularly interested in.

Episode in the movie The End of Eternity with the appearance of the Capsule (Episode 2, 47:40).

Monday, January 2, 2023

5:25 pm I finished reading the book The End of Eternity by A. Asimov, which I started reading the day before, on January 1.

In the afternoon, East’s mother said that in the movie “Day’s Watch” (2004) she remembered a little person.

In the evening, I discovered that the film The End of Eternity had a scene in the same place where the scene in Stalker was shot, and the film also features a little person (a character who is not in the original novel, although in the novel the author sometimes refers to the Senior Computer Scientist Laban Twissell as a little person).

5:28 pm I began to study the plot of the film The End of Eternity:

“The novel The End of Eternity was first published in August 1955. <…>

In the 27th century, the company ‘Eternity’ was opened, which changed the past and future for the benefit of civilization. Time-changing technician Harlan suddenly realizes that his beloved no longer exists in the reality he created.

A perestroika-era cyberpunk, an adaptation of the novel by Isaac Asimov, one of the scenes of which was shot in the same place as Tarkovsky’s Stalker – on the Yagala river in Estonia, near the destroyed power plant.”
