...core of the guru's teachings is the Divine Light, a physical, revelatory experience. After attending satsang, where the basic outline of Divine Light's message is discussed, those who decide to join the faithful attend a "knowledge session." At this stage, a Mahatma--one of the guru's several thousand apostles--reveals the "Knowledge" through instruction in meditative techniques...
...Lead to capture elusive emanations from the sun called neutrinos. Traveling at the speed of light and thought to be capable of passing through trillions of miles of solid lead, the ghostlike neutrinos have no mass or electrical charge. They are produced during violent atomic collisions at the core of the sun, and thus are believed to be a vital index to the activity and energy output of the glowing mass that supports life on earth. What astronomers and physicists have learned so far from the neutrino detector in South Dakota suggests that the sun's output is much...
Since then, other scientists have speculated that this reduced radiation may mean that the nuclear fires at the sun's core are severely banked. Harvard Astrophysicist A.G.W. Cameron and others suspect that the banking effect is caused by a sudden, unexplained mixing of gases in the sun's core, which leads to a brief expansion of the core and a reduction of nuclear reactions. In all, estimates Cameron, it may take some 6,000,000 years for this cycle to run its course-during which the sun's heat and light would be reduced...
...past 2,000,000 years. Humidity and temperatures were higher, there was more cloud cover, and barren zones with little vegetation were more common. If the banked-fires theory is correct, the relatively cooler recent period, including short-term "ice ages," might indicate that the sun's core is now being mixed, and may return to its normal output in about 4,000,000 years. Cameron estimates that such mixing events may be separated by hundreds of millions of years...
...documentary recreation of the artist's personal encounters with reality. Breaking out of the stifling cocoon of a wealthy family, and reacting against the highly stylized fashion photography of her job, Diane Arbus made her foray into the freak world to establish a much needed contact with a hard core reality. She was motivated by this psychological drive and not by any perverse delight in the sensationalism of the subject matter. Overcoming ingrained social inhibitions, Arbus succeeded in the investigation of this new territory. An ample demonstration of her courage as a woman, the investigation also significantly extended the range...
