The Seven Crystal Balls, By Hergé

 

Phenomenon whose very existence is still contested by some people, the balls would be one of the forms taken by lightning.Go to La foudre, cette inconnue The problem is that the white fireballs topple us over into the irrational.

"Inanimate objects, do you have a soul ...?" The ball lightning is it an inanimate object? Certainly not, according to our grandmothers who tell funny stories ...

One of them was surrounded by ball lightning. Like slow motion, the fireball turned several times around the woman, without causing her other trouble that a lively terror ... and an insolent hocus-pocus: she got no more underwear! They were burned! Yet her skin was intact and her outerwear too.

 

Ball lightning is a phenomenon that has fascinated people for long time

 

Ball lightning? No, short-circuit!Was it lightning humor? Or phantasmagoria? It seems in any case that ball lightning is slower than normal lightning. And without real danger to humans. Everything happens as if we were dealing with a spark fulguralis. The ball would be a crumb of lightning, the result of an explosion ... but endowed with conscience, what becomes surreal. That is why many scientists still refuse to admit its existence. Or pretend that this is a phenomenon different from lightning.

 

In the United Kingdom, they saw "balls of white fire" travel at slow speed over cereal fields at night, under a cloudless sky, while the beginnings of a crop circleGo to Crop-circles du Wiltshire... That night, 23rd June 1999 in Alton Barnes, Wiltshire, there were no storms within 188 miles!

To investigate this issue, let us first talk those who believe ball lightning as a conscious entity, an agent of fate. At random, let us take the two founders of the comic.

His real name being Georges Remi, Herge has a special place in literature, as his accomplice EP Jacobs, and as their model, the great Jules Verne.

These three authors have placed the mythsGo to L'histoire d'avant l'histoire at the heart of their work, this is a key to their success. Leopard-men,Go to Animal, on est mal ball lightning, Yetis,Go to La fin des orques flight to the moon, Inca cities,Go to Cités des Cimes meteors, aliens, what myth Jacobs and Hergé have they forgotten? For Hergé, ball lightning is destiny, not so blind as you may think.

 

Rascar Capac, the Inca god who masters the ball lightning © HergéIn The Seven Crystal Balls, the fireball does not hurt Calculus, it is benevolent. But it volatilizes the mummy of the Inca, so it is malevolent. The Inca was reborn, it is benevolent. The Inca wants revenge on Tintin: it is malevolent. Finally no, it was just a nightmare. Tintin wakes up, lightning becomes neutral again. In The Castafiore Emerald, this is Captain Haddock who finds himself perched in a luster after the passage of lightning. A bad joke without consequences, such as the grandmother's loss of underwear.

 

SOS Meteors, the masterpiece of Edgar Pierre Jacobs In The Broken Ear, Tintin is receiving lightning: it frees him from his bonds and carries him over twenty yards. In Tintin in Tibet, a ball of green light illuminates the ax of Tintin, this is the St. Elmo's fire, well known to sailors ... Other appearances of lightning and flashes are found in the work of the great Hergé and that of his colleague and friend, Edgar Jacobs. In one of his finest albums, SOS Meteors, or else in The Yellow "Mˮ, you can see how the Maestro Jacobs is staging lightning and flashes.

Let us investigate this curious case in other fields. Physics and weather science now have their say. As far as their knowledge is trustworthy ...

 

Every moment in the world, there are more storms that a bishop may bless, squirting free gigawattsEvery moment in the world, there are 6,000 thunderstorms,go to la foudre, cette inconnue which represents 300 lightning strikes per second. The storms are formed from water and heat. The clouds are the celestial factories where lightning develops. The cumulonimbus clouds,go to la foudre, cette inconnue anvil-shaped, have the highest vertical extension, so the greatest the temperature difference between base and summit, which made of them the storm's typical clouds. Clouds are formed from water vapor, in the form of a myriad of droplets.

 

Ball lightning, in any case, help to sell newspapers. Even if they do not have much to say about it.When the drops become too heavy to remain suspended, they fall: this is the rain. The smallest droplets rise and crystallize under the action of cold: this is the ice. The crystals assemble into hailstones that fall through the huge mass of clouds. Hailstones, negatively polarized, collide with the droplets, positively polarized. The cloud has a positive charge in its upper part and negative in its lower part. It forms a huge battery. And it thunders, it rises, it gushes forth.

Example of "globular lightning" given by Météo-France. Unfortunately, the fireball is not visible on the white background of the sky.The storms are not equally distributed across the globe. In the United States, a "corridor of lightning" is particularly struck by lightning. But it is Bogor, on Java island, which holds the world record number of storms. The sky thunders there 322 days a year. Currently, nobody can say why. As for the ball lightning, meteorologists have just admitted its existence. It must be said that research on lightning are new: they began with the work of Benjamin Franklin who invented the lightning rod on June 15th, 1752. That's all for modern research!To know about ancient research, click > to  "Megalith Show"

 

The phenomenon has long been known, but studied only recently.

The former GodsGo to Our Creators and following pages have used the lightning in all kinds of applications, and they knew that ball lightning is far less dangerous to humans. Their lightning machines were used for breaking lightning, that was the role of the circles of large stones, as in Avebury, or of the Cyclopean walls, as in Cusco or Teotihuacan.

 

Thermal power plant of the TGV

The operating principle was grosso modo, that our power plants. Energy is energy. Yet the lightning-power resembles neither hydro nor nuclear-power. Lightning power plants did not produce watts nor electrical power, but balls of lightning. And these entities do not behave as electric current, they seem out of the usual physicochemical context. To understand them, you need to expand the framework of electro-magnetism. You must put on the glasses of bio-energy, or Vril energy.


Ball lightning, artist viewThe lightning ball unfolds in Vril energy,Go to page very different from electric power. It is transmitted without metal support. Polarized stones - alignments of menhirs or Gothic cathedrals - are the best way to channel it. The Vril also follows the watercourses. Knowing that lightning balls, in fact, tend to go their own head.

They look like conscious beings capable of choice, action, creation, and even humor of which we are the victims.

Some professors Calculus strive to generate amazing plasmoidsAre we dealing with intelligent beings? Or with "objects" guided by intelligent beings? The crop circles that adorn the fields of Wiltshire could be traced by white fireballs. It is true that we do not know much more about crop circles than about ball lightning, two puzzles that seem related.

In this area, we can move forward only with the greatest caution.

Are they the emissaries of higher entities, aliens or not, tryning to contact us through them?

 

The white fireballs are they part of the mystery

or key to the mystery?

 

Ball lightningOne thing is certain, and it is tenacious: it seems that our culture treats the issue of energy through the wrong end. Quantum physics teaches us that there is no energy without information. What are we doing with these data transmitted by energy? Why ignoring them? The only information from which the electricity companies recognize the existence is the one that marks the meter: the billable amount. However, the parity energy / information has so many answers ...

 

 

Another f… thunderbolt!

When the storm thunders, is it for screaming to us the secrets of heaven? When lightning flashes, is it to enlighten us? When the white fireball rolls around, what does it try to tell us?
