The Other Side of Midnight

Show Page: Alternate Listening: Years ago, I read one of Arthur C. Clarke's short stories that's really stuck with me for decades, titled "The Nine Billion Names of God." I don't want to give away the (very satisfying) ending, for Generation X or Z, but suffice to say, the story involved literally "disappearing stars" .... The reason Arthur's story was SO memorable is that such things aren't supposed to happen; stars are other "suns," and as such, are long-lived galactic creatures; even the most massive, most profligate stars -- "burning" nuclear fuels millions of times faster than the Sun -- "live" millions of years longer than is comprehensible to mortal humans .... Which is why, when I learned of David Sereda's latest discovery, in his continuing quest to understand the nature and details of his developing model of our "Designer Solar System," I was immediately hooked; because-- David has turned up bona fide, scientific evidence -- extending back over 70 years, from some of the largest and most famous professional observatories on Earth! -- that over "a hundred stars" in the Milky Way alone, have been recorded photographically as LITERALLY disappearing -- between repeated photographs of the same region of the sky -- some, in as little as "HOURS!!" And, that's impossible .... So, what's REALLY going on? Join us, tonight .... Richard C. Hoagland Copyright 2024
