Interesting new book

I happened by chance to come across this discussion.

First I will give more photographic evidence that the Great Pyramid contained a nuclear fission reactor. Refer to a colored photograph, Plate 14, in The Phoenix Solution by Alan Alford (by the way, Alan does not agree with me).

Within the picture all stone is granite. All of the granite has been "eaten into" and blackened. You can compare this granite to the "polished" granite in the Descending Passage. Near the southeast corner of the granite wall there is a patch of calcium sulfate dyhydrate on a broken portion of one of the granite blocks. The only reason for this patch is to keep water within the chamber.

According to Sir Flinders Petrie (1881), the granite box is much harder and denser than the rest of the granite. This is appropriate if the box will contain uranium oxide. Look carefully at the box. It shows very gradual wear due to - not to hammers, etc - but due to nuclear spallation (neutrons).

Notice that the southeast corner of the granite box is more worn down than anywhere else. One can draw a straight line from this corner to the cold water inlet on the south wall near the east wall. Cold water reflects back neutrons much more than hot water. Therefore, this higher flux of neutrons has worn down this corner of the granite box.

Let's move on to the issue of what is done with the plutonium. My original conclusion that plutonium was a primary fuel was completely wrong. The plutonium was actually used as a "spark plug" or igniter for causing deuterium to fission. When uranium or plutonium are fissioned, one gets about 2% of the energy within. When deuterium is fissioned, one gets 100% of the energy within. Therefore, a deuterium nuclear engine would give 50 times as much energy as a conventional fission engine. This makes traveling to another star possible.

Such a trip might take, perhaps 5,000 years. For us, that is useless since we have a lifespan of ~ 100 years. However, our predecessors are said to have lifespans in terms of hundreds of thousands of years. The trip for them is practical.

The reader might state that deuterium does not undergo fission but fusion because of the hydrogen bomb being presumably fusion. But, that is not correct. This is proved by the first two hydrogen bomb tests done by the USA. In the first bomb, there was the plutonium trigger followed by a mass amount of tritium followed by a huge amount of deuterium. According to their theory, the tritium combines with the deuterium to form helium-4 and a neutron. There computation of the energy released was very close to the actual energy released.

However, in the second bomb, they had the plutonium trigger followed by lithium followed by deuterium. Their theory was that the plutonium neutrons would split the lithium into two tritium nuclei. The actual energy released by the bomb was three times what they predicted. The result was frightening and led to massive exposure of humans to radiation (immediate evacuation of the bunker 25 miles away and the total sealing of a navy ship even further away).

Why?

They used lithium, which had a huge portion of lithium 7, not lithium 6. According to their theory, the plutonium neutrons would have split the lithium 7 into helium 4 and tritium. According to their theory, helium 4 was literally dead ash - not a source of energy. But the fissioning of the two neutrons in helium 4 was the source of 2/3rds the total energy released.

Guess what deuterium is: two neutrons!

Hello Greg, Thanks for all that interesting commentary. I am not a nuclear person so I need a little time to try to understand some of that.
For sure the granite stone coffer has been blackened as though it has been 'baked' - but not by a normal carbon-based fire.
I really recommend that you take a look at Gleeson's work [in Before The Delusion]
As I understand it he has come to the same or similar comclusion but from quite a different direction [from evidence in literature]
so yr conclusions are complementary and supportive.
Interestingly, according to Gleeson. the nuclear reaction was ]primarily] used to generate steam - BUT there is also a separate suggestion that the Great Pyramid was specifically constructed for repetitive multiple use - suggesting it was to produce weapons. Thats why the pyramid was surrounded by so-called 'mastabas' which were actually 30 meter deep storage bunkers.
I'll take some time to think more about yr commentary.
Incidentally do you know how to contact Alan Alford?

Calculations on an energy basis: how much water can enter the chamber and how much steam can exit - predict a very modest level of plutonium production. That is what lead to the realization that it could not be a primary fuel. This reactor was inherently stable just like USN reactors are. However, very tight control of the nuclear "burn" is unlikely. That means that 4 to 5 isotopes of plutonium would have been produced. They all can act as neutron emitters but only Pu-239 is bomb grade. This means that making a bomb would have been difficult. Even if it were made, it would be very "dirty" in the sense of leftover radioactive debris.

I am aware that there are implicit references to bombs having been used. These references also talk of most people dying from leftover radiation rather than from the detonation itself. There is more evidence of certain "bomb sites" still showing radiation and "green glass". So, who knows?

Look up Alan Alford on Google. He has a website titled "Let there be light!".

Assuming we cannot magically expand our lifespans to 100,000 years or more, traveling to another star using deuterium fission is simply impossible.

Is there a better motive drive?

Theoretically yes. If one can form (macroscopically) matter which completely repells gravitons, then one can formulate a "spaceship" shell geometry that would lead to propulsion simply using the gravitational flux. This would be analogous to a sailing ship on the ocean.

No primary fuel is required and there is no creation of heat. Such a system would not be limited by the velocity of light.

The devil is in the details. Possibly, <b>possibly</b> polydeuterium could be fabricated to make such a shell geometry. If this could be done, a "pregnant" thumbtack would be a workable geometry.

A small aside: generation of heat, a rise in temperature, are entirely facets of Elysium. Protons themselves to not have a temperature. I will propose that the Elysium can be liquified and vaporized. Consider that the solar system did not begin simply with hydrogen gas and "dust" but also included a massive amount of Elysium. In simplest terms, planets are proton "rich" but Elysium "poor". In contrast, the Sun is a gigantic ball of liquid Elysium (with a relatively low concentration of protons), and it is boiling because of the inward flux of gravitons. So, Pluto is extremely cold and the Sun is extremely hot.

Enuf said.
