Hi all. This is my first posting, so greetings wherever you are from a blustery Lincolnshire in the UK in the name of Him "upstairs" who set the heavens in motion along with the weather. Observations, statistics and supercomputers might be the norm in weather forecasting, but what happened to the old traditions of observing the planets and making forecasts based on their positions? There is strong evidence to suggest that the Aztecs observed Saturn and Mercury to determine rainfall for the next month. Yet, we discard the notion of a planetary connection because it just doesn't sit right with our understanding of physics. How could a planet as small as Mercury so far away affect our atmosphere? If we tip things on their head, the holy grail of physics is the Unified Field Theory (UFT) which Einstein was working on before he died. Two planets orbiting the sun relative to a third object and observed on a fourth satisfies the requirement of UFT to connect strong nuclear forces, weak nuclear forces, gravity and magnetism. Pick two planets, position them relative to the moon and then plot the relationship between the planets and there you should have something that quantifies a unified field in two dimensions without the need for quantum dynamics, string theory and 11-dimensions (if you want 11 dimensions, there are 9 planets, a sun and a moon in the solar system already...) So, what if Saturn and Mercury happen to be two planets which represent UFT, and coincidentally their positions map to Earth's atmosphere? Well, I took on the challenge, studied the few remaining manuscripts written by the Aztecs (the rest were burned by the Spanish or purloined by the Catholic Church) and found a pattern in the artwork. And, as far as I am concerned, where there is a pattern, it can be represented mathematically. The attached images are from today, 17 August 2013. The maps underneath with the rainfall are from the UK Met Office. The red squares have been calculated in Excel using the positions of Mercury and Saturn. As the day went on I "tuned" the calculation. It seems I can now plot UK rainfall for any day of the year, past or present without the need for observations and supercomputers. According to our experts, plotting UK rainfall for any given date in an Excel spreadsheet is impossible. Yet I seem to have achieved it. The second attachment is from my spreadsheet. It is the great storm of 1987. You can see by the vertical lines being so close together how tight the isobars were. I.. don't have any data on the storm, so maybe someone could corroborate it? Most will think this completely laughable. I have difficulty believing it because of what we have been taught and told by "those who know" here in the UK, and the rest of the West for that matter. Yet, I take some reassurance from my brother-in-law who is from the Middle East. When I showed him my spreadsheet and just said I was using the "old ways", he said, "You mean the ancient ways like they did in the past long, long before the mid-ages?" I guess I do. I guess my question is, does anyone have an appetite for this? If not then I'll just rebury it in the past. If so, which I think highly unlikely, then what would be the best way to proceed? Many thanks Xi
