Armageddon is Coming! Asteroids and comets are really coming to destroy the planet Earth!!! Asteroids and comets come in all sizes and orbits. Some are as small as a grain of sand. Others are larger. Anything larger than 460 feet across is tracked by the Near-Earth Objects (NEO) Sky Search team. And they have found literally thousands of potential Earth-threatening NEO’s with Earth crossing orbits. Today NASA can do nothing, absolutely nothing, to prevent an impact! Not now, but maybe someday? Impact by one larger asteroid could release more energy than all the thermonuclear weapons on ...

The legendary tale of industrial strength pranking, drumming, '70’s excess, big laughs, desperation, and The Who performed with gusto by Karl Howman. Set in London, LA, and on tour with one of the world’s greatest live rock bands, The Who.

During the April 18th, 1955, autopsy of recently deceased scientist Albert Einstein, the chief medical examiner at Princeton Hospital removed the brain from the corpse and hid it from the family and the hospital. His orders came from Washington, DC. Subsequently, genetic materials derived from that unique brain were injected into in vitro fertilized candidate eggs and implanted into pre-selected surrogate mothers. This novel is the engaging story of those high-IQ individuals into their unique world.

In Chaos theory, slight, even extremely minor changes in the input assumptions and parameters describing a world system can cause a dramatically different outcome. The Butterfly Effect. “What you cannot imagine, you cannot discover” according to Albert Einstein. H. G. Wells, like the Biblical prophets of old, did indeed imagine and envision the horrors of the atom bomb in his amazingly prophetic 1914 book “The World Set Free.” And we pick up, here, where he left off on an alternate timeline to destruction. This science-fact filled historical novel, The Nazi A-Bomb, considers an only...

The impending destruction of the Earth and Mars is expected well into our future. Yet, once there in time, the questions are ‘Where will all the humans, animals, and plants on both planets go to avoid complete and utter destruction, their total annihilation?’ ‘What are the real, viable alternatives?’ In that distant future there are only three viable options; either stay and die, join the space-fleet to Alpha Centauri B, or what else? The only other option for some in this space-warping society is to travel Back in Time. That is, for certain individuals and perhaps even small groups...

“It is theoretically possible for a tornado to have wind speeds over 500 mph. However, there have been no reliable recordings or observations of tornadoes with such extreme wind speeds. The highest recorded tornado wind speeds have been in the range of 261-318 mph.” “The strongest tornado categorization on the Fujita scale is F5. Tornadoes classified as F5 have wind speeds between 261-318 mph and cause catastrophic damage. They can sweep away homes, debark trees, and cause major damage to buildings, vehicles, and infrastructure.” The F-6 Category - The proposed addition of a new F-6...

The year is 2100 at the turn of the next Century. The players are descendants of the original Genetically Enhanced Individuals (GEI), in fact their grandchildren. The PARIS Accord has failed miserably. The Earth’s environment has entirely changed, evolving to accommodate new higher temperatures. Hurricanes weekly devastate the East Coast with 200+ MPH winds and repeating massive 90-foot floods. The tropics are now a desert zone, the Arctic is now seasonable. North America is divided between a tropical rainforest to the south and a Temperate zone to the north. A great shallow inland sea ...

The Butterfly Effect is a theory that suggests a great interconnectedness between all systems. It further suggests that small effects or changes in the initial conditions assumed in one sphere of physical existence can translate into dramatically larger effects in another sphere. In the case of the Butterfly Effect, the flapping of a Butterfly’s small wings, through interconnectedness between the different spheres of physical existence and through randomness, can for example sometimes translate into more severe weather than might have occurred or been imagined otherwise, had it not ...

The Yellowstone Super Volcano is a sleeping giant sitting astride the glowing Yellowstone hotspot. The hotspot is a rare, in fact the largest place on Earth, where the thin Mantle allows Lava to bubble up toward the surface, creating the hot springs, mud volcanoes, and other attractions, like Old Faithful, which are regularly visible today to visitors in that National Park. Yet below the deceptive relatively quiet surface, which only hints at the incredible power below, millions of tons of simmering ground water sit waiting under ultra-high pressure between hundreds of feet of solid hard ...

September 11th, 2001 7:59 AM – That morning the firefighters at the Fire Department of New York (FDNY) and the NY electric power system operators at The Electric Authority (TEA), an electric utility, were just beginning their day shifts, going through their normal prescribed everyday duties. Nothing unusual was either anticipated by anyone or happening … yet. Unknown to all, far away in Boston, American Airlines flight 11, on route from Providence, Maine was taking off from Boston’s Logan Airport with 76 passengers, 11 crew members, and 5 hijackers on board, ostensibly bound for Los ...

The Origins of the Templar Treasure – Forces loyal to King Philip IV of France had attacked the Roman Pope's personal residence at Anagni during early September in this Year of Our Lord 1303. Following the ensuing battle, King Phillps’s overwhelmingly larger forces killed all of the Pope’s guards and captured Pope Boniface VIII himself. Subsequently, secret orders were smuggled from the captured Pope, regarding certain sacred and secular charges to be removed from the Vatican Secret Archives for safe keeping elsewhere. The Prefect spoke urgently, “These charges I carry are here for ...

Prime Minister Ben-Gurion had thusly concluded and stated clearly to his President, Chaim Azriel Weizmann, and chief advisor on atomic matters, Dr. Ernst David Bergmann, that, “What Einstein, Oppenheimer, and Teller, the three of them are Jews, made for the United States, could also be done by scientists in Israel, for their own people.” So, at close to the end of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War for Israel's independence, Ben-Gurion sought out Israeli physicists. They were to be given special assignments, as part of a secret Israeli spy mission. He formed a special branch of the Israeli ...

Dr. Yoshio Nishina is sometimes known as the father of modern nuclear physics in Imperial pre-war Japan. Nishina was a 20th Century Japanese engineer and physicist well respected in Japan. However, he was less known in the West, except among a few American physicists and in Nazi Germany. He led the efforts of Imperial Japan to develop an atomic bomb or A-bomb before and during the second World War (WWII). In 1921, RIKEN provided funding for Nishina to study in Europe. There he met several famous Western physicists. At Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, England, he worked under Ernest ...

An eyewitness report; “A ninety-foot wave [crashed over him in his lighthouse]. The mounded wave reared its ugly head across The Hawk Channel. The hurricane smashed it down on a narrow ten miles of Keys from Tavernier to Key Vaca. The wind was flung like knives, 150 to 200 miles an hour, with unbelievable gusts climbing to nearly 250 miles per hour that took everything it willed and flattened and flung it.” The US National Weather Service issued a summary of event: “Officially, 408 lives were taken by the great Labor Day Hurricane of 1935, most of them World War I veterans working in ...

Herodotus lived during the fifth century BCE. He once wrote that the Egyptian priests secretly informed him that “Four times since Egypt became a kingdom the Sun rose contrary to its previous practice. Twice it rose where it now sets, and twice it set where it now rises.” Most of Herodotus’ histories have been proven correct by later archeologists and historians from other records. So, is it true that the Earth is a lopsided, unstable, wobbling spheroid that could in a very chaotic fashion topple over 180-degrees in its vertical dimension? And could this happen in response to a ...
