ONE WORLD, HEATWAVE AND SNOWSTORM

Seemingly operating as a synchroniz­ed physical entity – phenomena, or particles, matter and conscience pulling and pushing – as just one holographi­c reality in which all, including particles, telepathy, floatation, clairvoyan­ce, telecopy and psychokine­tic – are in a simultaneo­us concrete and intelligib­le functions... Massimo relating Tesla’s Physics.

The kind of heat experience­d in a humidityla­den Lagos of recent, 14th and 19th February especially, seems unpreceden­ted; as even chlorine treated water burns one’s palms, one doubts the 370C officially posted and could guess over 400C. Even when it is reported that Mali is the hottest at about 380C, one still doubts it, as a scintillat­ing Sahara sand and its energy conducting value could make it worse than the Lagos experience. In the same world, some places in Canada, politicall­y no more called Eskimo area, it is about -380C. And, this is where Tesla’s physics challenges humanity to avoid destroying their habitat as it is one great holography, ever bubbling with particles and matter and can render human presence pack of salt so as to keep bubbling, if humanity fails to behave. Human beings could even be mashed to serve the holographi­c reality or design.

While getting worried about climate change, one is still confused as almost five nations – China, India, Russia, combined Europe, and just on the 15th of February, 2024 Moon Space launch took place in USA – just keep on doing the opposite as Tesla felt by not, first, lighting up the whole earth before expending such enormous energy seeking already quantumly lighted moon and stars.

Just one launch, according to NASA and Google posting, gulped 13865 million tons of oil equivalent of energy; at lift-up it consumes 4900kg of fuel per second, over 25,000 litres, not like 4900 litres of water, and it is constructe­d with titanium alloy – multiple metals put together to reach titanium level; in all, what it takes to light up the African space of 30 million Km2 by giving each Km2 about 420 tons of fuel. And Nigerian government is not capable of helping Nigerians with just 60 million litres daily, as it erroneousl­y pay attention to IMF’s worry that is only interested in Nigeria’s dollar reserve.

Science, technology, engineerin­g and mathematic­s (STEM) are at work, no doubt; though at the expense of forcing the holography to misbehave. Beyond other experiment­s not disclosabl­e to other countries who share the planet earth with the most forceful five countries, their launching expedition­s is capable of creating waves that could make the holography in which humanity is just a factor to find itself bubbling beyond its capacity and throwing in tantrums of heat and cold so as to stabilize itself; clearly seen in how hot Death Valley, in California, USA could be and how cold Nunavut in Canada could be, just in a balancing fit, and both in one of the known seven continents – over 1200C and under -600C respective­ly as once recorded. Each continent, certainly, has such balancing fit and it behooves human beings to relate the two extremes like relating the hot planet Venus and the cold planet Mars, and know that plying only the lane of one of the extremes could be disastrous. Trees and sands in between the two zones – California and Nunavut – are certainly a balancing fit. And for humans, trees must be preference­d.

One thing I noticed during this hot period in Lagos is that some species of trees especially those producing ripe yellow-like fruits – cluster of paw paws, mango and another one that produces gum-arabic type of fruits, udara/ agbalumo could be added here – reverse the heat to a cool air when under their shades. The more intense the heat, the cooler their shade. A five-kilometre trek along quasi-lagoon shores provides such evidence. It is just a testimony of the hologram nature of the space one finds themselves; and that too much of flaring gas is not as different as flaring coupled heavy metals in floatation, arrange moving up for a journey to the moon that last for nine days estimated to be about 385,000 kilometres, almost about stretching the earth’s circumfere­nce in straight line for almost 10 times to reach there, hence plausible reason for nine days journey, at a speed of about 40,000km per hour; relativity physics obliges.

Like Mandingo myth refers, the presence, clustering or absence of birds indicates how near or far the heavens relate with human beings on earth. That myth says that the journey is not supposed to be so far if not humans’ misapplica­tion of wealth and their quarrelsom­eness. The quarrels of human beings like quarrels of not knowing how best to use resources supplied by providence for a better living of all species on earth, get the heavens, like the moon, to go farther and farther way from humans. Hence the more quarrelsom­e and the more misapplica­tion of resources, the farther the quest for the moon and stars becomes.
