Over my lifetime I have witnessed the decline of scientific capability and integrity in the physical sciences. When a new idea arises, it should be discussed and debated. Attempts should be made to refute the new idea; otherwise, it should be cited in subsequent literature. That is the way science progresses, not by attempting to suppress a new ide...

... of the consequences of my new insight on star ignition is that it sheds light on the nature of dark matter [4]. A spiral galaxy, such as shown in Figure 6, represents a dynamically unstable assemblage of stars that would hypothetically wrap around its center of rotation, unless it is surrounded by a massive halo of unseen (dark) matter 10-100 times as massive as the luminous stars [39]. In Figure 6, this yet unobserved halo of dark matter is illustrated in green. ...

In Figure 6, this yet unobserved halo of dark matter is illustrated in green. I suggested that the dark matter surrounding luminous galaxies is composed of dark stars, the consequence of stellar non-ignition that results from the absence of fissionable elements. ...

Galaxies are huge physical systems having dimensions of many tens of thousands of light years. Thus
any change at the galactic center will be noticed at the rim only tens of thousands of years later.
Those retardation effects seems to be neglected in present day galactic modelling used to calculate rotational velocities of matter in the rims of the...

... First, among this vast number of galaxies, there are only a few prominent morphologies, suggesting a commonality of formative conditions. Second, a vast proportion of the observable luminous galaxies are flat, not spherical [82,83]. Galaxies are massive assemblages of matter, some containing as many as a billion luminous stars. ...
Five hundred years ago the Roman Catholic Church wrongly opposed science. In my fifty years as a scientist, I have observed the Catholic Church reaching out to science, wholly unaware of widespread corruption and cartel-like behavior under guise of science, which leads, I allege, to the Vatican aiding and abetting activities that are not only anti-Christian, but which pose grave risks to human and environmental health.
Convection in Earth's georeactor sub-shell is responsible for generating the geomagnetic field and for maintaining the critical balances necessary for stable sub-core nuclear fission. External factors capable of disrupting sub-shell convection are trauma at Earth's surface, for example by meteorite impact, and electrical energy transfer via Faraday's electromagnetic induction into the georeactor by changes in the solar wind or in the magnetospheric ring current. Reduced sub-shell convection not only leads to decreased geomagnetic field intensity, but to increased uranium settling out into the sub-core where it undergoes uncontrolled nuclear fission until sub-shell convection is reestablished. Periods of uncontrolled georeactor nuclear fission are responsible for causing geophysical phenomena at Earth's surface that are associated with geomagnetic reversals and excursions. Anticipated consequences of sub-shell convection collapse include increases in volcanic activity, increases in the number and intensity of earthquakes, warming of the oceans, and diminishment of atmospheric convection resulting in global warming at the surface. The most worrisome potentiality is triggering the eruption of the Yellowstone super-volcano. Changes in solar wind flux, too small to cause geomagnetic field collapse, however, may cause increases in earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The understanding described here potentially provides a basis for the development of earthquake and volcanic eruption prediction methodologies.
