Dante's Inferno Test

[Maniac]

Traitors against God, country, family, and benefactors lament their sins in this frigid pit of despair.

I guess I made a big mistake when I said I was willing to betray my country (Belgium). We aren't very nationalistic here...

Erm, but will we end up doing something that will get us banished to the lower levels?

City of Dis, here we come

[OneFootInTheGrave]

Oh man, MtG is gonna be in Limbo with us?! Booooooooooooooooo!

??? I thought you were a Catholic... However did you end up on that side of Archeron?

True/false questions suck. Either that, or it was the SUV.

Don't worry, for you, it's just a rest stop on the way to your ultimate destination. A bit further down the road.

MTG, don't you want to be a cool geek and join us in Dis? It's a leet place to be.

[SnowFire]

I agree with loin's results about ties being decided nicely. I answered as a proper, nice, Satan-worshipper who never missed a Black Mass and would gleefully betray all for the greater glory of Satan. The result was "Extreme" for both levels 8 & 9, but Malbolge it was.

Definitely pretty far away from the city of Dis, though. Believe in God? Of course I do! I exist to spite him! Relative morals? Course not! It's always better to betray and get lots of power and prey on the weaker ones! Apperantly that's not heretical, being that they didn't ask what morals or whether you actually worshipped God. A more fine distinction.

Oh c'mon, we can at least have fun trying to seduce him...

Monolith -

Berz - sounds like an interesting book, but doesn't that whole earth in the asteroid thing sound a bit honky to you?

Astronomers believe the Earth was once struck by a Mars size object and the evidence for such a collision occuring roughly 4 billion years ago is strong. The oldest rocks and life forms date back to this period and the "maria" or "Seas" on the Moon began forming around this time, but only on one face as if the Moon was present when the collision occured and took alot of debris on the side facing the Earth at the time. Btw, the Moon's density is higher on the side facing the Earth, an indication the debris striking that side was heavier than the material on the other side, just what we'd expect if planetary debris impacted one side but not the other. And this raises the question: if a proto-Earth was struck ~4 billion years ago, did it remain in the orbit in which it was struck? Not likely, such a collision would have most certainly moved it to a new orbit. The only problem I can see is how the Moon was moved along with the Earth to their current orbits.

The current explanation for the asteroid belt, that the formation of Jupiter created gravitational stress preventing the asteroids from forming a planet, ignores that in a solar nebula, inner planets form sooner than outer planets. So how did Jupiter form before an inner planet? Another interesting feature about the solar system, the solar wind pushes gases outward. This is why the inner planets are mainly rock while the outer planets are much more gaseous. So, at some location in the solar system, gases, like water vapor, begin freezing. This point is at the asteroid belt, not Jupiter.

This is the location incoming comets begin developing a tail as the solar wind begins the process of sublimation(?) or melting the comet's gases. So it's logical for a planet to form at the asteroid belt before a planet further out where we find Jupiter. I can't remember the name of the astronomer (Van Flanders?), but he noticed an interesting mathematical feature regarding the planets. Each planet is roughly twice as far from the sun as the planet before it. So Venus is ~2x the distance as Mercury, Mars is ~2x as far as Venus, the asteroid belt is ~2x as far as Mars, Jupiter is ~2x as far as the asteroid belt, Saturn is ~2x as far as Jupiter, and Uranus is ~2x as far as Saturn. The formula stops working past 20 A.U.(astronomical units, 1 A.U. = Earth's distance from the sun). What's curious is that the formula, while accepted as legimate, fails to account for the Earth and the asteroid belt. It works only with the Earth at the asteroid belt. According to Genesis and virtually all creation "myths" including the Babylonian epic of creation, before the Earth as we know it was created, the proto-Earth was covered with water.

Genesis says God withdrew the water to reveal the "Earth" - the land. Various Native American myths say God sent an animal below the waters to bring up soil from below, and that this soil was used to create the land. Even the Egyptians believed the primeval mound rose up from underneath the waters to form the land, etc...

According to Zecharia Sitchin's interpretation of the Babylonian epic of creation, Pluto was once a satellite of Saturn, not Neptune as current theories claim. So, I decided to look for any mathematical connections between Saturn and Pluto. I found enough to convince me there is a stronger connection between Pluto and Saturn.

1) If we subtract Saturns distance in A.U. from Pluto's highly eccentric orbit, we get a 2 to 1 relationship. Pluto's orbit is ~30 A.U. at it's closest approach to the sun and ~50 A.U. at it's furthest. Subtract Saturn's 10 A.U. and we see ~20 and ~40 A.U. for Pluto.

2) Pluto ascends the ecliptic within 2 or 3 degrees of Saturn's ascending node. The ecliptic is a line or plane drawn thru the sun and Earth out into space. No other planets are anywhere close to this relationship.

3) And the clincher: when Pluto is at it's nearest point to the sun, Saturn's rings (equator) points to Pluto.

Also, wrt the asteroids, some of them show evidence of differentiation. This means some of the asteroids were once part of a larger object, a celestial body large enough to allow for the movement of materials into lighter and heavier layers.
This happens in planets, not smaller objects like asteroids.

Having looked at some of the evidence, I can't dismiss it. I've seen pictures depicting creation stories, such as the Incan and Sumerian/Bablyonian. They show 12 celestial bodies in our solar system. The Toltecs believed there were 13 levels of Heaven and 9 "underworlds", or "lords of the night". But in Heaven, 2 levels are occupied by the creator. The Inca depicted the sun, moon, and 9 "planets" separated into 2 groups, 4 at the bottom and 5 at the top, and the creator is represented by an ellipse crossing the group of 5 at the top and joining the 2 groups of planets, exactly what we'd see if there was another planet in our solar system with a highly elliptical orbit with it's nearest point being the asteroid belt and it's furthest point out beyond the known planets. A Sumerian cylinder seal depicted 11 celestial bodies surrounding a star/sun, and the name for the creator is "Nibiru", the planet of the "crossing". Democritus, the father of Greek astronomy, after travelling in Mesopotamia and Egypt, came back to Greece and told his colleagues there were more planets than could be seen with the naked eye.

The truth is out there.

Server Too Busy

The server is getting creamed by so many people taking the Dante Inferno Test, so the test has been taken down. It will be back up eventually. Please excuse this inconvenience and check back at some point in the future.
