The secret lives of invisible magnetic fields are revealed as chaotic, ever-changing geometries. All action takes place around NASA’s Space Sciences Laboratory, UC Berkeley, to recordings of space scientists describing their discoveries. Actual VLF audio recordings control the evolution of the fields as they delve into our inaudible surroundings, revealing recurrent ‘whistlers’ produced by fleeting electrons. Are we observing a series of scientific experiments, the universe in flux, or a documentary of a fictional world?

Crop Circle Pattern is Pi to 3.14159265358
The fact that the Pi decimal point is included (in the 2008 Barbury Castle barley pattern) and there is rounding up to 10 decimal places is to me a little mind boggling!” – Michael Reed, Astrophysicist

June 8, 2008 Timberlake, North Carolina - On June 7, 2008, I received the following email from a retired astronomical physicist from the University of Arizona, now living in Timberlake, North Carolina. He had been studying the June 1, 2008, formation in barley at Barbury Castle.

Subject: Barbary Castle Pattern = First ten digits of Pi 3.141592654
Date: June 5, 2008
On looking at the Barbary Castle pattern the ratio of the angles of the radial jumps is apparently the first ten (10) digits of the mathematical constant Pi ( the ratio of the of circumference of a circle to the diameter)
The dot after the first radial jump is even positioned correctly as the decimal point.
Take the pattern and draw radial lines from the center of the central depression though each radial jump. Take the smallest angle sector and call it one (1), then compare the other ten sectors contained angle to the smallest and pick the closest single digit for the ratio. They come out as 3.141592654.
Note that the last ratio digit has even been rounded up to four (4) since the the value of Pi out to twelve digits is 3.14159265358 and the tenth digit would normally be rounded up to four (4) if the number was only given to ten (10) places.
The significance of the three decreasing diameter circles at the end may be trying to convey the the idea that the number goes on indefinitely.
Then he sent me a graphic analysis of his Pi analysis and I called to ask him about his process of discovery, the fact that the ratcheted spiral he measured was also contained in the 1991 Barbury Castle formation and is in some of the complex diagrams contained in the 2007 leaked CARET document from the Palo Alto Laboratory about back engineering of extraterrestrial technology in the 1980s. http://www.earthfiles.com/news.php?ID=1434&category=En

Physicists have 'solved' mystery of levitation
By Roger Highfield, Science Editor 7/08/2007
The University of St Andrews team has created an 'incredible levitation effects’ by engineering the force of nature which normally causes objects to stick together.
Professor Ulf Leonhardt and Dr Thomas Philbin, from the University of St Andrews in Scotland, have worked out a way of reversing this pheneomenon, known as the Casimir force, so that it repels instead of attracts.
The force is due to neither electrical charge or gravity, for example, but the fluctuations in all-pervasive energy fields in the intervening empty space between the objects and is one reason atoms stick together, also explaining a “dry glue” effect that enables a gecko to walk across a ceiling. • http://www.telegraph.co.uk/
