d) The possible influence of Halley Comet on Global Warming (Now it's about to be Global Cooling, 5th Dec 2008, Update 19^th Nov 2009))

[ Note: Yesterday, sometime in the early evening I switched on my TV, immediately I caught part of an announcement by CNN, indicating that some one was interested to report certain theory that explains Global Warming should not be the consequence of human action, but they could not do it because it would be illegal to offend the Copy Rights of the author. So CNN also decided not to carry the news on their station. Today I heard the news that both President Obama and Chinese Premier Wen-Gia-Bao will attend the important conference in Copenhagen in early Dec about Global Warming and projects to protect climate change. Now in view of the costs and efforts involved in such global projects and for the good of science, I hereby announce that I release the restriction of Copy Rights, so that news medias, scientists and authorities involved in the projects may use the contents of this page, for reference or for evaluation of its probable usefulness, if needed. Those who use the materials here may feel free to discuss, report or print them as part of their own written discussions. But, I am reserving my partial Copy Rights for future publication as an independent book or part of a book… By Author A.W.L. Chan, 26^th Dec 2009. ]

“Global Warming’ or “Climate Change” today is a huge topic of concern in the minds of most people, especially the politicians. Thanks to the efforts of medias during the past two decades or so, it has now become a general belief that that Global warming is caused by human actions, such as burning fossil fuels, etc.. Although there are also enough non-believers who over the years have voiced opposition to such belief, both camps of believers and non-believers have not yet offered fully convincing analysis or proofs. The following discussions will attempt to offer a different theory, which suggests that Halley Comet is the most likely culprit behind the heightened waves of abnormal phenomena occurring during the last 3 decades. These abnormal phenomena are, for instance:- In animal world, those unexplainable repeated group-suicides of whales, dolphins and sudden waves of man-killing elephants, rhinos, etc., In human world, the sudden increase of suicidal acts that overwhelm the political decisions, the wars and the terrorism, as well as the waves of abnormal sexual behaviors, never previously reported in human history. Also, in the world of microscopic beings, the sudden increase of HIV/Aids, or recently, the Bird Flu (H5N1) and Swine Flu (H1N1), and lastly, in natural world, the Global Warming. These waves of abnormal phenomena seem to occur in correlation with the arrival of Halley Comet, not just with the last apparition of the Comet in 1985/6, but also with many of its visits in past history.

The effects and influences of Halley Comet’s periodic return to the earthly proximity have not yet brought about serious investigations in modern science, but there are enough valid reasons to warrant our discussions. Halley Comet returns to the solar ecliptic once every 75-76 years in average. Its travel is caused by the Sun’s enormous gravitational pull, but it can also be affected slightly by the perturbations of the nearby large moving solar planets such as Saturn or Jupiter, depending on how close it passes by those large planets during that particular episode of its return. Therefore due to those perturbations the Comet’s orbit can vary slightly and its orbital period also varies roughly between 75 to 76 years. The Halley Comet’s orbit is highly elliptical and focused on the Sun, but with a large inclination of about 18° to the plane of the ecliptic circle. As the Comet body is tiny, and it goes from outside the ecliptic with this inclination directly to the sun, so it cannot collide with the solar planets traveling in the ecliptic. This Comet orbit’s perihelion, its closest distance to the Sun, is about 0.6 AU, which is between the orbits of Mercury and Venus. However, during its last return in 1986, for a few days in Feb 1986 its perihelion was even closer to the Sun than the normal orbit of Mercury.

When the Comet comes so close to the Sun, its liquid or ice contents and its tail, heated by Sun’s extreme temperatures, expands enormously! Such a massively expanded and pressurized volume of gaseous Comet tail, probably only a small percentage of which is visible to us as its brightly reflected tail, must occupy an enormous space and volume. This moving gaseous volume, sweeping pass the proximity of the sun, would form a gigantic storm right in the very center of the solar ecliptic. As sun is the focus of elliptical orbit of the Halley comet, and the Comet approaches sun from outside the solar system with an 18° inclination to the solar ecliptic plane, the comet and its gigantic moving storm would first hit and penetrate the ecliptic plane. Because sun is directly on the ecliptic, and the ecliptic plane or the ecliptic disc is relatively thin, this great storm having shot through the ecliptic plane would then curl around the sun to re-enter the ecliptic plane on the opposite side of the sun. This means it would greatly disturb the normal stability or the balance of the energy environment in the ecliptic plane, not once but twice! Meanwhile since the ecliptic plane and the zodiac are the energy fields of the solar system along which our earth travels, therefore the earth could feel twice these great disturbances.

These disturbances are in fact large transparent fluctuations or storms in solar emissions, which occur in the exterior of the sun, and therefore do not affect the view or the image of the sun. Such disturbances would then slowly expand and pass on to the ecliptic and the Zodiac, which could also reverberate with other passing planets, such as Mercury and Venus, producing even more complicated results before they reach our earth... One other thing should be mentioned is that these colossal storms, unlike the storms on earth that usually last for some hours only, these colossal gaseous storms formed by hugely expanded gaseous volumes, including that several million miles long of the Comet tail, would continue to storm through and would take some months as the comet orbits so closely around the sun and invades the ecliptic plane twice. Such long and violent disturbances could then reverberate for a long time until the energies of the entire ecliptic system return to stability, in other words, until the balance in the solar force field symmetry (12 equal divisions) returns to normality again. When this happens the global warming would have ended, and the general global temperatures would return to the normal range that existed before the Halley Comet visit… The above description is the basic scenario, as it could vary rather significantly from episode to episode, depending on how close Halley Comet comes near the sun, which in turn would depend on whether or not the comet comes near those large transiting planets, e.g. Jupiter or Saturn, and whether or not the comet orbit is affected by the perturbations of these large planets. Hence the described phenomenon is by no means always so simple! For instance, how exactly does the immensity of sun’s gravity interact with that enormously expanded volume and mass of the comet tail when it storm pass so closely? Perhaps in some episodes it might be close enough to shave off a tiny bit of the sun’s outer surface and leave it to reverberate slowly in the ecliptic plane with planets, such as Mercury, Venus and finally Earth?

At any rate, the strength and magnitude of the storm could somewhat block, or sway, or disturb the normal distribution of Sun’s emissions as well as the balance or stability at the ecliptic plane. These disturbances and their secondary reverberations would cause fluctuations in solar emissions, hence slight change of temperatures on earth, as well as some abnormal stimulation on the micro-electric activities of the human and animal brains. In other words, global warming and suicidal behaviors of animals and humans are not caused by the comet energy directly, but by the fluctuation of solar emissions during the comet visit. As to how exactly it occurs, it would require more detailed studies. However, one thing can be sure! Wherever there is a cause, there must be consequence, such an enormous storm, so close to the sun, and such a strong periodic upset in the ecliptic plane, cannot simply pass by without causing some disturbances or reverberations in solar energy environment! And on the surface of earth, which is on the receiving end, could easily be affected by a slight rise of temperature, say1 to 2 degrees Centigrade… Bearing this fact in mind, we can proceed in the following to observe whether events in the past did correlate with the returns or visits of Halley Comet.

My suspicion about Halley Comet began as early as 1990, 3 years after its apparition in 1986, because I could vaguely recall that when I was a young boy, I had heard the elders in my native town talking about the ill omens carried by the arrival of the “Broom Star”. Indeed, during the late 80s there were rapidly growing reports about HIV/Aids cases amongst the homosexual communities, and masses of people were dying from it, yet the trend, or fashion, appeared to be growing fast. There was another strange phenomenon, which was even more abnormal, the repeated suicides of whales and dolphins in groups. Then towards the end of 1989, Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait and refused to withdraw. Very soon 38 allied nations and American forces, totaling some half a millions soldiers, were amassing near Iraq, ready to pounce on Baghdad. Four important ex-national leaders, namely, Richard Nixon, Edward Keith, Willi Brandt, and Tanaka, went all the way to Saddam’s home to persuade him to withdraw from Kuwait, but Saddam refused, and within a few days Saddam’s own forces were crushed. I thought Saddam was, like the whales and dolphins, simply suicidal and totally abnormal. (Much later, in the Second Iraqi War, when Saddam was already decisively beaten, Egyptian President Mubarak offered Saddam safe refuge, but Saddam preferred to hide in a hole below ground, and was caught)… In recollection, Saddam’s abnormal actions and the start of First Iraqi War occurred not only right on the arrival of Halley Comet, but on the very days when its perihelion was nearest to the Sun. It suggests that Saddam’s brain was hit by a wave of abnormal solar radiations. Now 20 years have passed, but the consequence is still massive and beyond measure…

Another example of totally abnormal human behaviors occurred near Vienna, Austria, also right on the maximum impact of Halley’s arrival! A certain Joseph Frizle locked up his own biological daughter in a tiny dungeon, raped her for the subsequent 24 years, and made her give birth to 7 little ones. This amazing case was exposed in the Summer of 2009. This is just one case of extreme sexual abnormality, yet, since the early approach of Halley Comet in 1981/82, huge waves of HIV/Aids sexual disease swept across nations, notably in the communities of homosexual men and commercial sex-workers. HIV/Aids has since become a pandemic. According to reports in 2007, some over 32 million people are carrying this infectious disease around the world, and 2 to 3 millions had already died from it. Still, the trend evolved and has since become a wave of legalized homosexual marriage, sanctioned by some governments. Needless to say, this is a large social development unprecedented in human history. But why? And what caused its general rise?

Such suicidal trend continued in the event of “September 11^th”. This is not only a historic moment of teamed suicides, but an extremely remarkable one too! And its consequence is still reverberating! Because of it, human bloods are still flowing and uncounted numbers of homes have been broken and displaced ever since, despite the talks of humanitarian rights. It is remarkable because the real culprits or organizations of the day, who never admitted responsibilities, had managed to highjack virtually within the hour one not so small squadron of civilian airplanes to destroy two large commercial buildings, The World Trade Center in New York, that had housed numbers of international businesses. What’s more, as one of the two buildings had only half collapsed, and a plane was stuck on it, so the culprits had to quickly order the highjack of another airplane, practically within minutes just to fly to New York, and to bring that half-standing building to the ground. Why was it so important that the building must fall? Still no one knows! And why was it so important for the highjacker to kill himself just to destroy a half destroyed and dangerously unusable building? The half standing building would fall within days, or even hours, because 1/3 of it had already collapsed on itself, and the weight of debris and the fires from aircraft fuel would have finished off the remaining floors. Perhaps the last highjacker didn’t want his body to be found! So it was not just a simple suicide, it was a mysterious suicide! At any rate, how was the whole attack in that fatal morning planned and executed? Then following that morning Iraqi wars broke out. And now, there are not just suicidal bombers everywhere, but because of the unusual pressure of war, many hundreds of regular soldiers have also taken their own lives by suicide since the war!

Ever since that day, Sept 11^th 2001, two separate wars had broken out in Iraq and Afghanistan and now even spread to Pakistan, which are still ravaging this very day! Hundreds, if not thousands, of suicidal “terrorists” have perished, bearing bombes and explosives on their own person just to kill themselves and a much larger numbers of other humans. By now countless homes have been broken, family members killed or displaced by war, and with it massive national wealth and economy destroyed or wasted. Yet looking back, all those bloodsheds had stemmed from the suicidal incident of 9/11 as well as some certain belief that Saddam Hussein had developed some mass-destructive weapons, which was never proven. So, other than those suicidal terrorists, who are still blowing themselves up every single month, thousands of bona-fide or regular soldiers have been sent into inhumane bloodbath, and wasted their own lives for those reasons only… So, if and when one examines closely all those suicidal politicians, such as Saddam Hussein, suicidal wars, suicidal terrorists, or suicides of whales and dolphins, also those unusual and unprecedented waves of willing participations of suicidal sexual practices for HIV/Aids deaths, it appears that we are in an age of inflated suicides. There seems to be something exciting and affecting the living brains. Besides, there has been also an unprecedented rise in reports that hundreds of humans have been attacked and killed by elephants, rhinos, hippopotamus in India and Africa, and in America, humans have been devoured by mountain lions. These waves of abnormal behaviors have become a daily phenomenon since the approach of Halley Comet’s last apparition…

My observations suggest that there have been waves of abnormal and subtle cosmic energies received by earth, which appear to come in a pair. These waves may not be deadly but strong enough to cause strong and subtle irritations to the micro electric brain activities of the large animals, such as whales, dolphins, elephants and humans. These cosmic fluctuations can also cause the microscopic viruses to mutate and spread. The episode of Halley's visit in 1910 saw the start of 1st world war and 50 million deaths by Spanish Flu. A secondary wave could have caused the 2nd World War. The present episode of Halley visit occurred at the end of 1985/6. It also saw the 1st and 2nd wars in Iraq as well millions of death by HIV/Aids viruses, which was followed by the minor epidemics of Bird Flu and Swine Flu. To the animals, such brain irritations might result in abnormal behaviors, such as man-killing elephants and suicidal whales. In humans, heightened brain activities could cause strange or subtle excitations, resulting in abnormal behaviors, such as irrational decisions, moral degeneration, abnormal sexual fantasies and suicidal intents. As comic energies influence all living beings, the results affect not just large animals and microscopic lives, but also human social or political unrest and wars, as well as some unusual but positive developments.

Now let me expand into areas of those probable but positive developments, which could have been also the result of heightened brain activities. The state of world events shortly before and after the comet arrival alarmed me. In fact, my hunch had led me to investigate briefly a few more episodes of Halley's earlier visits, and my observations seemed to correlate. My investigation and my own brainstorm also led me to believe that limited disturbance in nature's forces may not be always bad at all! It would depend on the prevailing social and historical environment of the time. I came to the idea that a strong surge in musical interest could hit the world, because musical notes are related to the vibrations of solar planets. Heightened micro-electric brain waves might even stimulate the invention of many kinds, especially in electrical and electronic devices, such as computers, etc. etc.,... Sure enough! All these things seemed to have happened in the recent past as I had suspected! So in my two letters to the senior leader Deng Xiao Ping in 1989 (The First Letter) and 1990 (The Second Letter) I did include a few words about the possible effect of Halley comet's arrival... 

When I saw the most unusual and excited behaviors of students who had forcibly occupied the Tien An Men Square in Beijing for 58 days in 1989, and the news was blasting away day and nights in Hong Kong, my own brain too was becoming increasingly irritated. At the time I had just purchased a Chinese Word Processor. As I needed to practice the system with typing large number of words, I unconsciously typed my thoughts into the computer. Those input of materials were later edited to become the two political letters attached to this website. Because before the comet arrival, in 1984, Deng Xiao Ping had already begun to open up the nation by constructing the town Shen Zhen adjacent to Hong Kong with unprecedented enthusiasm and determination, as well as with such speed and success. I used to watch and visit the exciting development practically every month. China, after two centuries of opium invasion, internal and external wars, as well as some 40 years of determined political consolidation and reformation after the 2nd World War, was ready to stretch her legs. Somehow my instant told me to urge Deng Xiao Peng to quickly open up China by riding that stimulating Halley energy, fearing that otherwise it might turn rotten and explode into chaos without a collective purpose. (I also sent the same materials, translated, to Mr. Ghali at UN later in 1995 for UN’s 50^th Anniversary, to reflect some thoughts on the 1st Iraqi War and the troubled situation in Gaza). To my surprise, I was able to see very positive reactions for my thoughts at the time... In short, any significant fluctuation or disturbance in solar emissions or in the energy field of the solar system, is likely to cause unusual excitations in social energies, which may be either good or bad, and in the case of China, it was good.

Now I am exposing the same basic reminder here, as well as a list of historical events that may have correlation to the past visits of Halley Comet. I am trying to relate to readers, especially the politicians, to watch out for any abnormal social excitations, because if I am right about the Halley effect, then we are still under the influence of the second wave of heightened energy. This 2nd wave reflects the 2nd Iraqi war and its consequences. Any mistakes made now, the consequences could be long term and significant, even after the period is over. However, my suspicion is that this period might end in about late November 2008 when Pluto enters Capricorn, because if the close visit of Halley Comet and its hugely expanded tail to the Sun had caused fluctuation in solar emissions, then such fluctuation has lasted almost 3 decades. Now Pluto’s sudden change of Constellation from hot Sagittarius to cold Capricorn could bring about cooling in temperatures and normalization of excitations in human brains. This is my main purpose in publishing these writings on the Web. 

As to whether I am right or not, it can be confirmed or rejected by continued observation in the coming few years, as well as research on historic events in many countries relating to visits of Halley comet over the past 2400 years, some of which I have included in the list following this introduction, but only very roughly. I have also only listed very few events in world history and the Chinese history in this page. But if I am right about my suspicion that strong and sudden surge of cosmic energy could affect the human brain to make wrong or berserk political decisions, or to add to political unrest, strong national conflicts, international wars, even the urge to commit violent suicidal acts, then this is a valid subject for more studies, especially for this nuclear weapon age. And also if I am right, then such excitation on the brain could also stimulate great surge of both positive and negative social energy to give economic boom or downfall. It could even make advance in natural science, nuclear, electronic and space technologies, along with heightened interests in music and revelations in humanitarian understanding.  However, this is a very involved subject, because it involves the developing trends of nations as well as the prevailing conditions in the solar system at the time of Halley's arrival. What’s more, it requires also astrological knowledge, which studies how the energies in our solar system affect human life. Probably that’s why the influence of Halley’s visit is not yet a well established subject in modern science. So I can only ring the bell, but my own efforts are by far not enough. Please read the whole page, including the following paragraphs in red, in order to get a good grip.  

Let me insert a few words about China again! One significant coincidence, if it is a coincidence at all, is China's significant rise in the recent years! China was able to ride the up-surging energy of the comet. Deng Xiao Ping established Shen-Zhen city almost right on the arrival of Halley comet in 1984. It was the first determined move that would lead to China's rapid reformation and modernization. China's recent social and economic developments have been unprecedented in any known national development in global history. This largest mass of humanity has been able to change at will directly from a traditionally agricultural community to a space age nation as well as the biggest exporter of information technology equipments in a span of less than a quarter of century. Literally countless new houses, roads, traffic equipments, industrial machineries, hospitals and every other conceivable kind of major or small national infra-structures, including sport related structures, especially defense and space technologies have been successfully built and put to use without serious hitch also in those few short years. This, of course, is only possible because of the capacities of China’s long, rational and sober civilization as well as the qualities of her present leadership. But I also attribute such super energy to a typical example of extra stimulation by the Halley Comet, whose visit coincided exactly with this very same span of time. What's more, it was for such reasons that my two political letters were written in 1989 and 1990. (My 1^st letter was written in early Dec of 1989, and was given to a friend, who then passed it on personally to Mr. Deng around early Jan 1990, the 2^nd letter was followed shortly after. So both letters had arrived in Beijing and in the hands of senior political leaders for considerations days before the destruction in Iraq began).

China in fact is demonstrating to the rest of mankind that it is possible to achieve success, or even greatness, without any military conquest or any other aggressive undertakings. China is also showing the world that democracy (of the people, by the people and for the people) can be even better achieved without splitting the country into conflicting parts (of the parties, by the parties and for nothing but the parties). Besides, there is a still more important historical fact. China was the first nation to invent explosives and compass, and her navy was the first to explore the world. In her 7 long voyages she had reached as far as Africa, but China had never once invaded any of her neighbouring nations. Instead, her territory was enlarged as a result of being invaded by her northern neighbours who had since then, many centuries ago, gladly joined the big Chinese family. Judging from China’s historical influence in commerce and technology through the Silk Road, and in philosophical or cultural developments, which had helped to maintain peace and order in her neighbours for many centuries, China’s recent revival could yet bring about positive influence, not only in finance and economy, but also peace and stability around the world, especially in political philosophy, which could yet take mankind through and safely pass the age the age nuclear weapons…

The great Mother Nature always has the last say. The solar system is capable of producing periodically ice ages, such as the Pleistocene Ice Age (1,600,000 to about10, 000 years ago). In the Little Ice Age (1500 - 1850 AD) the temperature dropped 1° C to 6° C in various parts of this globe. Such periodic large climatic fluctuations could have been touched off by changes of cosmic energies in the solar system, and in minor cases, such as comet influences. Therefore the present Global Warming could have been started off by perhaps two comets (Halley Come of 1986 and Schumacher Comet of 1993), while the planet Pluto was transiting the comic domain called Sagittarius. In other words, it may not be caused by human action of burning fossil fuels, nor any further interventions and efforts on the part of the tiny humans at all. However, a slight influence from the Halley comet should surely be enough to disturb the micro-electric activities of human brains and set off the still raw human nature to kill each other (If at all I am right in this respect, then I am inclined to predict that this global warming phenomenon should soon decline, starting at the end of 2008 and onwards. Well, we will see!) 

[Note:- At this moment as I am punching the key board (9 PM Feb 1st 2008 and adding this passage) China is being hit with heavy snow storms, so severe and intense that has never been seen for at least 50 years. It had begun as soon as planet Pluto approached the Constellation of Capricorn from Sagittarius. The twelve Constellations are the zodiacal divisions, which is in fact the angular divisions of the force field symmetry in the solar system, which affect the changes of seasonal temperatures. On Dec 21^st each year, the day of Winter Solstice, when the sun moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn most of the world enters the depth of winter season and temperatures begin to drop. This time planet Pluto does just that! In my view, the effect of Pluto changing zodiacal divisions or changing the angular divisions of the solar field symmetry is in fact canceling out the remaining energy of global warming, which was brought on and touched off by the visit of Halley comet, whilst Pluto was transiting Scorpio and Sagittarius. Of course the said comet has been long gone, only the remaining part of disturbances to the solar system still lingers. I have been writing about the Halley effect since 1989, but have only treated it as a theoretical possibility with a high degree of anticipation. I have also predicted that Halley influence or global warming should diminish starting from the Winter season of 2008 and onwards. It now appears that my anticipations may be already beginning to manifest into reality. If my theory were working, then it would be further confirmed if and when global temperatures should continue to drop noticeably in the next Winter seasons of 2008 and 2009, which would write off Global Warming in the end... Then of course the anxieties regarding polar ice melting and disappearance of coastal lands will diminish as well! Let's hope that could be the case! Unfortunately, according to Astrology when Pluto moves into Capricorn, there will be an increase of earthquakes, especial in the first few years.] 

(Note:- According to Astrology, Capricorn is ruled by planet Saturn, and so when Pluto enters Capricorn it would mean that the energies between Pluto and Saturn confront, and could cause changes in built up underground pressures, or earthquakes. Then during second half of Jan and early Feb this year, 2010, transiting Pluto was moving into 4^th degree of Capricorn in “Squared” (at 90°) to transiting Saturn at 4^th degree of Libra, which added more energy to the Pluto/Saturn confrontation. So, as their energies confront at about 90°, great earthquakes occurred in Haiti and in Chili resulting in much greater damages, because it added extra strength to the already earthquake causing potential due to Pluto entering Capricorn. Unfortunately the same aspect of “Square” between transiting planets Saturn and Pluto will occur again in early August 2010. It would be advisable for people living in earthquake zones to make extra precautions and stay timely alert, especially between end of July and 21^st of August, just in case something might happen!…. Added April 7^th 2010)

(If the above theory is correct, then since the early approach of the Comet (late 70s, or early 80s) the global temperatures had been steadily rising. Over the years, nearly 30 years now, more and more ground and sea waters would have been evaporated as cloud or gas, which would rise higher and higher into space. Now that the Global Warming is coming to end, the earth is entering a period of ecological change. We have two important scenarios to consider. Firstly, the massive amount of evaporation already risen high up in space is likely to take next one or two more years to condense under cooler temperatures and come down as very extra heavy rains or snows. Some parts of the world would experience unusual down pours, even great floods or record breaking snows. Secondly, as atmospheric temperatures vary considerably around the world, in areas that have not yet received sufficient rains or snows to cool down, the ground surfaces, having absorbed heat increasingly for nearly 3 decades, are still hot, or parched. These areas would continue to experience hot temperatures and draught as well as large scale hill fires, because although the globe begins to cool, but the heat already accumulated deep inside the grounds for so long must still rise up to the surface, therefore the ground surface and surface temperatures cannot yet normalize and become cool enough to retain normal moistures in the air. Because unless enough time is given to cool, or enough rains have arrived to drench and cool them, those parched areas might have to wait a year or two to cool down…. Let me repeat! If I am right that global warming has stopped, and now that winter season has arrived, the cooler winter temperatures would contact those massively accumulated evaporations high above and chill them to condense as rains or snows. Such precipitations could be particularly heavy and strong this year, and probably next year too. There could be unusually heavy and rough snow storms, and the coming rainy season early next Spring could be very damaging. People should be warned!

The above indicates that before Global warning is completely renormalized, the earth is now experiencing a period of change. It means the amounts of water evaporation accumulated over decades of Global Warming are beginning to come down as rains and snows in some areas, yet other parts of earth surfaces are still hot and dry. This situation appears to be what’s going on at present. At any rate, the first sign of Global warming stopping is the dropping of temperatures, especially the return of heavy winter snows! Therefore, if the approaching one or two Winters could bring again more rains and snows, then we should be pretty much assured that the end of Global Warming has happened, because the last two winters, 2007 and 2008, had been very cold and had already brought about heavy snows in China. This means that since this year, 2009, both great floods and snows are all experienced in various areas of the globe, if and when the next winters prove to be cold again, then we can expect that 3 decades of abnormalities of ecological condition, such as global warming, draughts and melting snows in North Pole, as well as near ground heavy mists could all end around 2010, or 2011… That would be the end of effects caused by Halley Comet’s influence. It shows also that Global Warming is not the results of human action, because human pollution of the air is still on the increase, especially during the last 2 to 3 very cold winters when more fusil fuels are used to make warmth… Note added on 2^nd Nov 2009}

Now, let’s take a closer look at what’s going on that makes the world turn around. The earth is driven to go around the Sun, all because of the gravitation of the Sun. But not just our earth, there are also those far bigger planets, i.e. Jupiter and Saturn, in fact, there are 9 planets and their satellites, which obey the pull of Sun’s energy to go around. Even Pluto, which is the smallest and most distant planet, is kept in orbit by the gravitation of Sun. In fact the entire mass and energy of the solar system are governed by Sun’s own energy. Imagine how powerful is the energy of Sun, compared with what the humans can do? And how sensitive can earthly environmental conditions change in reflection to Sun’s energy? The Sun is also the source of heat and temperatures in the solar system and on earth! It is capable of producing periodically ice ages, such as the Pleistocene Ice Age, and the Little Ice Age. I think it is too soon, and rather arrogant, for mankind to assume responsibility for the Global Warming with roughly 1° C rise in temperature! We should bear in mind that the normal range of seasonal change on parts of earth varies from +45° C to -30° C, all because of relative positions between earth and Sun. So how easy it is for Sun to warm up the earth by say 2° C over a period of say 3 decades? Even in any same Summer day the difference of temperature could vary from +45° C in equator to -20° C in the poles.

Halley Comet’s orbit varies, and can come very near to the Sun. It depends on its distance from the large solar planets, such as Jupiter or Saturn. Because those planets move independently in the ecliptic, they could come pass sometimes farther, and other times nearer, to the Comet during its returning or the departing journeys, producing varying magnitudes of perturbations. These varying degrees of perturbation can affect the Comet orbits, hence also its perihelion, or its closest distance, to the Sun. Now imagine that the Halley Comet’s body is rather porous and can pick up or gravitate a lot of icy particles during its long journey through the cold space, because its Aphelion, the farthest distance from Sun, is over 35 AU, or more distant than Pluto. When the Comet comes so close to the Sun, its icy body and tail are heated by Sun to expand and become an enormous volume of gaseous mass, storming through the proximity of the Sun. Perhaps such voluminous gaseous storm even reaches so far as to touch the surface of Sun. At least it would sweep over the space where normally the Sun’s emissions are getting out, say towards earth. So as far as the earth is concerned, those solar emission related things, such as solar winds, auroras, magnetic storms, plasma waves, and other fluctuations of solar radiations and solar activities, are temporarily blocked or disturbed, causing waves of fluctuations. Such disturbances can of course affect the ecological temperatures on earth, such as Global Warming, as well as the micro-electric functions in the living brain, and cause microscopic lives to mutate. So historically the arrival of Halley comet have often been viewed as bad omens by some cultures. If that was the reason, then the comet could even serve as a periodic driving force that kicks off not only minor climate or ecological change, but also advances in the evolution of living beings.

Some episodes of Halley Comet's apparitions and the corresponding events in history:-

I do not have enough detailed historical records at hand to examine globally what really happened during the various apparitions of Haley Comet. Besides, my knowledge and interest in history are really very limited. However, something did ring a bell in my mind soon after the arrival of Halley Comet in 1985/6. Because the arrival of the Comet in 1910 saw the fall of the last imperial dynasty in China (1910), and the First World War broke out not because of some serious or immediate threat of national security, but because of the assassination of one Archduke Francis Ferdinand. Then because of the First World War, the Second World War was followed, and as the war raged, an epidemic of Spanish Flu killed some 50 million people. In the recent arrival of the Comet in 1985/6, we saw the great change of political system in Russia, and the breakout of First Iraqi War, also not because of any great or immediate threat of national security. The First Iraqi War was then followed by a Second Iraqi War, and the pandemic of HIV/Aids also ravaged, which took millions of lives. Now there are also Bird Flu (H5N1) and Swine Flu (h1N1). These abnormal phenomena appeared to have come in two waves. So, are these occurrences pure coincidental or are they related to the Comet disturbance?

There were other reasons that had caused me to suspect that some strange energy was turning people berserk. A few events occurring within months of Halley’s visit, which were particularly abnormal and totally illogical! For instance, a group of educated and intelligent university students suddenly became strongly flared up and militant. They forcibly took over the parliamentary square at Tien An Men for 58 days, refusing to calm down, even when their Premier broke into tears in front of them. Then as they blocked off the National Congress building and all congressional activities, they demanded on-spot and immediate change to the political system of their government, the largest on earth. Why also Saddam Hussein acted in such a suicidal way, until he was caught and put to death? And lastly, what was going on in Joseph Frizle’s head to make him imprison his own daughter and raped her for 24 years? Was it because these 3 very cases occurred right on the maximum impact at the arrival of the Comet?

Around the days of Halley’s closing approach and arrival in the 80s, the world, in particular the Middle East, was in a huge mess of political confrontations without any clear solutions in sight. Many kids died in Gaza, by throwing stones at soldiers carrying machine guns. Soviet Union had just broken up. Russia was facing a rather uncertain and unpredictable future, while many nations were undergoing big economic recessions. A heated negotiation was approaching peak for the change of Hong Kong's sovereignty. Around the earth, abnormal weathers, earthquakes, volcanoes, typhoons were more often than usual. Floods in Bangladesh took 110,000 lives. Gay communities were rising in force. HIV/AIDS virus was about to become a major threat then (fully confirmed in 1985-1986, also right on the arrival of Halley comet, although some cases were discovered a few years earlier). Draughts and mass starvation continued tragically in Africa. There had been huge earthquakes in Indonesia. These were also the days when waves of news were reported that whales and dolphins were committing mass suicide. These abnormal phenomena had already alarmed me to write my letters to Deng Xiao Peng, which I now categorize as the first wave of Halley influence. The peak occurred during first Gulf War (Iraqi War). It was soon followed by the reports that elephants were attacking and killing hundreds of humans every year in a phenomenon, called “Elephant Rage”. Even the leopards in India and also the mountain lions of America were also affected because dozens of humans have been killed and eaten by them in those years.

The second wave of Halley comet's influence seemed to have started on Sept 11th 2001, when a group of most primitive mountain fighters attacked the most advanced nation using most unprecedented suicidal plan (a squadron of high-jacked civilian planes) early in the morning and was able to summon a second plane within minutes to finish off the World Trade Center (why so important to bring down a damaged building?). This was followed by the sudden invasions of Afghanistan and the Second Gulf War in Iraq, as well as the upsurge of unending numbers of suicidal bombers. There has been also a surge of politics to spread Western democracy around the world. And in terms of weathers, the tsunami of Asia, the Katrina storm in the US and the recent earthquake of Indonesia and China are abnormal enough. In the field of micro-organic life, the recent years Southern America has witnessed complete immunity of some viruses to any kind of anti-biotic drugs previously known, and there has been hundreds of death so far caused by Bird Flu virus (H5N1), and even more recently by the Swine Flu (H1N1). If under the abnormal fluctuation of cosmic radiation the human male can change sexual habit to mate with his fellow men, then why can’t those still imperfect or lesser developed beings, such as viruses, and so to produce mutated species? Perhaps that’s just a part of nature’s process of evolution. Perhaps that’s why there are so many species.

An equally unprecedented phenomenon occurs in recent years when large and intelligent elephants in India are attacking humans and killing hundreds every year. Mountain lions in the States also attacked and devoured human beings. On 20th Dec 2005 in Puponga Beach, New Zealand at Farewell Spit, about 125 pilot whales attempted suicide again. It was at the same spot that some 300 whales committed suicide 15 years ago. In another incidence, on Oct 26th 2005 some 130 pilot whales were found dead near the island of Tasmania, Australia, where also four sperm whales were found to be stranded, one already died on 13th Dec 2005. In May to June 2006 abnormally persistent rains flooded southern China and Taiwan, and took an unusual toll of lives. If the theory is working then the weathers this winter could be also pretty tough. We are not out of the woods yet...  

Motivated by curiosity, the writer set about in the late 80s to check the most recent few occurrences of Halley's visit and found that apparently Halley's comet did appear to bring about some strange phenomena and events in the time line. It appears that the solar system is very finely balanced, and the Comet’s entry into the solar system as well as its near approach to the Sun already causes some influence on the Sun’s emission. This influence grows steadily and increasingly until the icy material in the comet body and tail is heated and hugely expanded in volume, which reaches maximum when the Comet perihelion becomes nearest to the Sun. A second wave of fluctuation in solar emission is followed when that heated and hugely expanded comet volume suddenly leaves the solar proximity. As the Comet’s orbit varies in each approach, in some episodes such expanded volume might even sweep pass the solar environment like a huge storm and even near enough to touch the solar surface. This second wave seems to have a bigger effect and lasts longer. All together, the influences brought by Halley’s return could last 30 to 40 years. Because the Comet orbit varies quite bit, from 75 to 79 years, it makes the detection of its influence difficult, but one thing could be sure, small fluctuation in solar emission can affect the functions of micro-electric in the brain as well as a slight rise in environmental temperatures.

Historically, often warnings and fear had been given about the comet's visit, but few serious scientists had taken them seriously. There are five main reasons. Firstly, no clear explanations for the fear had ever been given. Secondly, many warnings were given by psychics, like Nostradamus, or by other superstitious speculations. Thirdly, Halley Comet’s orbits vary somewhat from cycle to cycle, depending on its distance from the large solar planets, such as Jupiter or Saturn, and the perturbations produced. Fourthly, the Halley comet's visits, or rather the fluctuations of solar emission, produce both positive and negative effects and consequences, which confuse the issue. Fifthly, a great deal depends on the trend or direction of development of a society at the time of comet visit, which may or may not produce large social change to be easily detected. However, the recent two waves of Halley effect since its last apparition seem to correlate with the two waves of the 1st and 2nd World Wars as well as the epidemics of Flu. I have given in the following 21 episodes of Halley's visits, out of which 4 of them did bring about pandemics of Bubonic Plaque, strange Sweating disease, Spanish Flu, HIV/Aids, the Bird Flu and now the Swine Flu,    . .. 

The following dates (in the beginning of each numeric item) display the month and year of Halley comet's apparitions. They are followed by the stories of historic events correlated with that comet's reappearance... Only events of notable historical importance and of very unusual nature are listed. The events seem to depict that as the Comet entered the solar ecliptic, a few years before perihelion (closest to Sun), it began to affect human brains across the entire society, causing the start of a period of major excitation for positive advance or a general unrest and social upheaval, which would be followed by major change in history. The whole episode would then take some 3 and half decades to normalize. The list includes mainly examples occurred in China and some well-known events in world history for the time being. I am also strongly limited in my capacity to read and write, which can only be done in Chinese and English. But cosmic energies do affect all people and all parts of the globe, so there are all sorts of information and stories I cannot include here, which either I might have to add later on, or readers would have to continue with their own search. However, I do strongly believe that it’s most likely worthwhile to do that!

1), 240 BC :- This is the earliest historic record of Halley comet's appearance in the world. It was clearly written in Chinese Chronicle “The Records of Grand Historian, Shiji” , by She Ma Chin, which describes that on 25^th May 240 BC a comet appeared on the east and moved north. This episode of Halley Comet’s apparition marks a junction of probably the greatest and most important change in Chinese history. From the early approach of the Comet, say around 245 BC, till its 221 BC, during these roughly 25 years Emperor Qin Chi Huang, whose name means the “Very First Emperor”, conquered all the fighting Chinese fiefdoms, or states, and reunited China into one nation again. Prior to this era, the Chinese nation, under Chou dynasty, had been split into large numbers of states, fighting each other for already over 180 years in that famous period, called “The Warring States”. By the time of Halley Comet’s apparition in 240 BC there were only 7 states left, and Qin Chi Huang destroyed all other 6 of them, and China remains unified ever since. The Emperor then proceeded to unify the written language, the systems of weights and measurements, as well as to patch and link up the construction of 4500 miles of Great Walls in Northern China. All these massive efforts and achievements were carried out in that short 25 years, between the said approach of the Comet and the establishment of unified China in 221 BC. That’s why it strikes me that the Comet’s visit could have imparted some energies to those events. This was the emperor whose tomb was recently unearthed which contains some 8000 man sized terracotta soldiers and horses. It has been said that this emperor’s body had been preserved in mercury fruit. Perhaps a great deal of written historical records had been preserved in some chambers of this tomb too!

In Rome, this was the period of Roman Republic. From 5th century BC to 3rd century BC there were many internal wars in different parts of the Italian Peninsula, such as the Veii wars, the Samnium Wars, the United Latin wars etc., but in about 270 BC the Italian Peninsula was also finally unified as a whole. From this point on, a foundation was established for the subsequent Roman Empire to conquer the Mediterranean and eventually built an empire that covered parts of Europe, Asia and Africa.... Both in the East and the West this episode of Halley visit seems to mark a huge turning point in human history.   

2), 164 BC: By the time of this Halley comet apparition, China, as a nation previously split into numerous States, and having passed through 182 years of mutual wars in the period called, Warring States (403 BC – 221 BC), only to experience even greater sacrifices and hardship during her final unification in 221 BC by above mentioned Emperor Qin-Chi-Huang, because the process of unifying different written languages, cultures and individual political system was an extremely hard task. So common Chinese people had had enough and rose in revolt to put down Qin’s Dynasty in 206 BC. The new dynasty was the Han Dynasty under its 1^st Emperor Han-Gao-Jo (Liu-Bun), who ruled between 202 BC to 195 BC. Then passed the rule to his son, Han-Wen-Di , who ruled until 157 BC. This apparition of Halley Comet fell in the period of his rule. This means that by 164 BC China had already experienced some 30 years of peace and relaxation under new Emperor. She was ready to develop and grow! And history shows that Halley Comet’s arrival did help tremendously, as Chinese life and culture boomed for almost 200 years thereafter.

Before I go any further, I would like to mention that I am providing in the followings some historical conditions or significant changes at the time of Halley Comet’s apparitions, but only for China, and some important occurrences in Europe. I hope readers will continue with their own research for historic events in their own areas.

3), 87 BC: The apparition was recorded in Babylonian tablets, which state that the comet was seen "day beyond day" for a month.

This appearance may be recalled in the representation of Tigranes the Great, an Armenian king who is depicted on coins with a crown that features, according to V.G. Gurzadyan and R. Vardanyan, "a star with a curved tail [that] may represent the passage of Halley's comet in 87 BC." Gurzadyan and Vardanyan argue that "Tigranes could have seen Halley's comet when it passed closest to the Sun on Aug. 6 in 87 BC" as the comet would have been a "most recordable event"; for ancient Armenians it could have heralded the New Era of the brilliant King of Kings.

4), 12 BC: This was rather interesting apparition of Halley comet for China. China, at this time under the historically regarded “Western Han dynasty” since 206 BC, and having experienced nearly 200 years of good life, was again ready for change and upheaval. The Empire, having repeatedly installed by chance a couple of extremely young emperors, one as young as only one year old, the imperial power had already fallen into the hands of the Empress and her relatives. In 16 AD (as in many apparitions, few years before the perihelion of the Comet) an imperial relative, one extremely devious and unscrupulous nephew of the Empress, name Wang Mong , was given a Dukedom, he began to manipulate the imperial family and authority. By 8 BC he became the Chief of Military Command, and by 3 AD he made himself the father-in-law of Emperor Han Ping-Di . But that wasn’t enough to satisfy his lust and ambitions, so he poisoned and killed his own son-in-law in 5 AD. He then went on to install a 2 years old new emperor in order to grab full control. As a result he practically owned the empire. Finally, in 8 AD, he declared himself Emperor of China, and changed the name of the empire to “New Mong Empire”. However, some family members of the earlier emperors rose in revolt. So great civil wars ensued, and Chinese people suffered greatly. Finally Wang Mong was killed in 23 AD, and the Han Dynasty was restored, in the name historically known as the “Eastern Han” Dynasty. This upheaval, beginning from the Comet apparition in 12 BC till restoration of “Han” in 23 AD, took altogether 35 years, which appears to be the normal range of Halley Comet’s influence.

5), 66 AD  Halley Comet reappeared in Jan of 66 AD. In 54 AD Roman Emperor Claudius was poisoned by his ambitious wife Agrippina and his step son Nero, aided by his mother Agrippina, ascended as Emperor at the age of 17. However, in AD 59 Nero had Agrippina killed. In AD 62 also had his wife Octavia killed. Nero them married Poppaea but 3 years later (right of the Comet perihelion) Popaea was also killed and Nero married Statillia Massalina. Meanwhile, in 64 AD great fire ravaged Rome. It was said that Nero set the fire to it himself in order to rebuild Rome in his own taste. In the end all his aids and friends abandoned him, Nero was obliged to flee Rome. In AD 69, Nero was caught and committed suicide. During these years Christianity began to take root in Roman Empire. 

Then between 70 and 72 AD, Flavian emperor Vespasian in Rome began to build the Colosseum, originally called Flavian Amphitheatre. Emperor Dominianus completed the structure in 82 AD, but he was later killed. I have included this episode of Halley visit because the thought of enjoying killing between men and men as well as between animal and men, as a public entertainment, would be regarded as “unnatural” even for human civilization 2000 years ago. Such wave of unnatural human behavior occurring publicly and simultaneously is probably due to unusual stimulation or excitation of strange cosmic energy to the brain. More examples, both good and bad, are in the following  

It should also be noted that during the 1^st century, Jewish astronomers had recorded a passage in the Talmud, which refers to “a star which appears once in seventy years that makes the captains of the ships err”. Obviously, the passage refers to Halley Comet because no other star appears roughly once every 70 years. To my mind, this passage also accurately confirms the suspicion that Halley Comet’s influence can affect human brain functions, and make ship captains err and cause accidents! Such an abnormal phenomenon is pretty obvious and: pretty strong.

6), 141 AD: In China, this apparition of Halley Comet marks the decline of Eastern Han Dynasty. Emperor Han-Sun-Di died in 144 AD. Imperial authority fell again badly into the hands his Empress Leung. She installed 3 Emperors, one after another, within the next 2 years. The third one was Han-Hen-Di , who ascended the throne in 146 AD. Hen-Di was chosen because he was weak. At first, Empress Leung ran the empire, then her relative Leung-Jit became the boss. In 159 AD, palace official got together and killed Leung-Jit. The power then fell into the hands of palace officials. The situation deteriorated further. In 166 AD, a big group of officials presented written accusations against those palace officials to Hen-Di. But it turned out that Hen-Di had them imprisoned and killed, altogether there were 200 of them. The reason was that they had formed dangerous secret clans. So, Eastern Han continued to decline hopelessly until 220 AD, when it was put to end

7), 218 AD: This apparition of Halley Comet occurred in May of 218 AD. By this time, the previously referred “Eastern Han” Empire in China had already fallen into years of unrest. The reason was again too many child emperors and powerful palace officials, which caused the weakening of imperial authority and therefore no end of chaos in the government. Thus influential imperial relatives, corrupt and powerful palatial servants and officials, as well as government officials struggled violently in a mess to plunge the Empire into general turmoil and poverty. Also in that general chaos, a great wave of superstitious movement started in 184 AD to sweep across the land under its leader Tsan-Jiao , who proclaimed to be the Super Master of Wisdom. In a period of just about 2 decade, Tsan-Jiao’s disciples and followers grew into a force of hundreds of thousands, and began to attack and rub cities and towns. As they wore a yellow scarf, they were called the “Yellow Scarf Rubbers”.

In that great chaos, the military entered the capital city in 189 AD, under the strongman, called Dong-Chuk. This strongman then proceeded to lord over the Empire by first dethroning the existing Emperor Shiao-di and installing the child Emperor, Shien-Di. He also killed the Empress and started to act and rule at will. However, eventually other official plotted together in secret, and managed to assassinate him. Unfortunately, after Dong-Chuk, the imperial power soon felled into the hands of the next powerful man, named Chau-Chaou . Chau-Chaou was a much smarter man, but even more devious. Chau-Chaou practically imprisoned Emperor Shien-Di in the capital Shue-Chang and used him for 20 years as a puppet. Finally, two years after the Halley Comet’s apparition in 218 AD, Chau-Chaou’s son Chau-Pih finished off Eastern Han Empire by proclaiming himself Emperor. Thus, Eastern Han was ended in 220 AD, practically still at the top of the Comet’s perihelion, and the Dynasty of Wee (The first of the “Three Kingdoms”) had just begun. In history, the last 100 years of Eastern Han denotes a period of great poverty and extreme lawlessness.

8), 295 AD:- After almost a century of anarchy or semi-anarchy Roman Empire was restored by emperor Diocletian who claimed the crown of emperor in 296 AD. Diocletian was in fact an officer in the army, supported by his fellow officers and troops. Together they initiated a new system of two emperors and two deputy emperors in the East and West of the empire with Diocletian as the leader. During the period of anarchy foreign religion Christianity spread into the empire from the East. Soon after Diocletian's rise to power, a great persecution of Christians was prompted, reaching a peak towards 298 AD (3 years after Halley’s perihelion) . During this period eastern co-Emperor Constantius was urged to divorce his Jewish wife, Helena, and married the daughter of Maximian, the deputy emperor of Diocletian. The Christian persecution spread out through the empire with extreme cruelty and violence. However, it did not annihilate Christianity. In fact, it had only inflamed waves of Christian martyrs to blaze forth instead.

The reason was due to the follow. Prior to this, eastern co-Emperor Constantius invaded England and defeated English forces to became a powerful man. But he died in England, leaving the power to his son Constantine. Constantine was young and strong. He returned to stop the persecutions of Jews. By 305 AD Diocletian was forced to abdicate, along with his deputy emperor Maximian. But Maximian restored briefly his title in order to install his own son Maxentius as a deputy emperor in the West. This developed into series of tragedies, killings and wars between the families of Maximian and Constantine because of his mother Helena’s earlier divorce. Constantine, who had won the family war, proceeded not only to end the persecution of Christians, but also to replace Paganism (sun worshipping) with Christianity and was hailed in history as Constantine, The Great. But at the time, and for many centuries earlier, everywhere in Europe was preoccupied by Pagan belief, the change was not smooth as it brought many long centuries Dark Age. Therefore this apparition of Halley Comet marked the very beginning of important cross-over from Pagan worship to Christian worship.    

9), 374 AD :-  In 380 AD Rome Emperor Gratian in Rome and Emperor Theodosius in Constantinople jointly declared Christianity as the official religion of Rome Empire. In 382 AD Pope Damasus had already officially pronounced the Supremacy of Rome. Damasus was also the first Pope to declare Rome as the Apostolic See, to denote it as that established by the Apostle St. Peter, the founder of the Christian church. Pope Damasus then began to suppress heresy and established centuries of supreme authority of the church in Europe that would result in the medieval Dark Age.... Meanwhile, Dec 25th was a long existing date of Pagan festival. However, in Rome this day was chosen by emperor Aurelian in AD 374 as the birthday of the unconquered sun, which at the Winter Solstice would begin to show an increase of light. Then in the Eastern Roman Empire capital Constantinople, Pope Gregory of Naziansus delivered in year 380 AD in his 38th oration on the festival of Theophany that Jesus appeared to men and was born in the flesh. He also did it in 381 AD in his 39th oration, on Epiphany, the festival of lights, commemorating the baptism of Jesus, the True Light. And in time, Dec 25th was celebrated as the Feast of the Nativity, commemorating the birth of Jesus, although both in history and in Bible there was no record of Jesus' birthday (or provable family history, unlike Buddha who was a Prince in Indian history, and Mohammed who had a large family tree. Two of Mohammed relatives traveled to China, died there, and were in fact buried in Chuangzhou). Thus, the supreme authority of Catholic church was begun during this episode of Halley visit. Halley comet has a habit of arriving at the most potent junctions of human history.       

10), 451 AD:- Directly in year 451 AD, the Goths invaded and broke into Rome. The Roman Empire's capital was moved to Ravenna. In March 455 AD Emperor Valentiniannus III was killed. In 476 AD leader of mercenaries Odoaker abolished the last Roman Emperor, Romulus Augustus, which spelled the end of Roman Empire. From here on, Europe fell into roughly 700 years of Dark Ages (5th century to roughly the 13th century AD). This was also the period Roman Catholic Church (The Medieval Christendom) ruled supreme in Europe, and traditions of arts as well as urban life practically ceased to function when heretics were burnt alive and earlier social orders disintegrated. Roman civilization, hence European civilization, collapsed during all those centuries until the arrival of Renaissance. The year AD 451 was therefore also a great turning point in history.      

11), 530 AD:- This episodes of Halley comet's visit fall within the European Dark Ages. I have so far rather neglected the events in Europe, not only because the historic records of this era have been mostly obscured by the ruling authorities of the church, but also they are not nice and boring. 

12), 607 AD:- Three years before Comet apparition, 604 AD (again a few years before arrival of the Comet), Chinese emperor Sui Yang-Di killed his own father Sui Wen-Di and made himself Emperor for the Sui Dynasty . This was a very cruel and lavish emperor, who built palaces and repaired the Great Wall, but he also finished the digging of great canals, linking Yang Tzi River to Yellow River, which was started by his father. His lavish needs imposed huge burden on people and brought unrest. In 616 AD Sui Yang-Di was killed in revolt. His death marked the end of a long period of repeated changes of family rules, or 16 dynasties in China, which had already lasted some 400 years. This apparition also marked a great change for the better in 618 AD, when the family of Lee entered the scene to establish the Tang Dynasty, which lasted 301 years.

Between this Comet apparition and the next in 684 AD, China underwent a very important period in her history, a period of great development and advance under the dynasty of Tang . 8 years before the arrival of Halley (599 AD), an important Emperor was born He was Lee Se-Min , the 2^nd Emperor of Tang Dynasty, Tang-Tai-Jhong . Tai-Jhong, even in his youthful teens already had battled and assisted his father to become the first Emperor of Tang Dynasty, Tang Gao-Juh in 618 AD. He inherited the throne in 626 AD. During his 23 years of rule, called the period of Jing-Guan, he used many wise and able men as his aids, and accepted their advices. He then proceeded to build a strong and prosperous empire. He began to open up the famous Silk Road, and build the foundation for the greater peak of prosperity that was to follow (See next apparition).

At the same time, also a famous monk, Chen Shien Zhuang , popularly known as San Zhuan  was born in AD 600 (about 7 years before Halley's visit). San Zhuan was sent by the Emperor to India to study and bring back Buddhism. When he came back from India with all the Sutras to Chang-An, then the capital of China, the fist Buddhist temple was built to accommodate the monk and the books. From this point on Buddhist religion was officially and firmly established in China, although it had already entered China before Tang dynasty. 

Meanwhile, in the Middle East (Mecca) also around 610 AD Mohammad, founder of Islam religion, had a vision. He saw a majestic figure, later said to be the Angel Gabriel, who told him "You are the Messenger of God". So, from this point on Mohammad started to build the religion of Islam. This could have been the same period when the famous culture of Moche in Peru had fallen due to more than half a century of great rains followed by draught. 

13), 684 AD :-  In China, practically right on the perihelion Empress Wu Jer Tien in 683 AD took over the imperial power to rule her husband's empire, the Tang dynasty. Unfortunately in 690 AD (6 years after Halley) she declared the end of Tang dynasty and proclaimed her own Zhou (Wu) Dynasty, which was put down 15 years later in 705 AD, when Tang dynasty was restored. This apparition marks a very unusual occurrence, the only rule by a proper Empress in Chinese history, although the period was very short. Besides, Tang dynasty was fated to recover its earlier achievements, as the brief interruption by the lady did not stop the trend of progress in Tang Dynasty’s strength and economy… For this apparition Chinese records reported Halley Comet as the "broom star". The apparition was also recorded in Europe in one of the sources used by the compiler of the 1493 Nuremberg Chronicles.

Meanwhile, almost directly on the arrival of Halley Comet (685 AD) the best known emperor of Tang Dynasty was born. He was Lee Ron-Ji, who grew up to become Emperor Tang Shien-Jhong . Shien-Jhong continued to expand the foundation of prosperity built by Tang Tai-Jhong , and brought Tang dynasty’s powers and economy to its peak. In his ruling epoch, named “Kai-Yuan” (713-741 AD) he made the trade of silks and china wares through the Silk Road to be a world business and reached as far as the Roman Empire. Unfortunately it didn’t last for him. In his late years he fell head and toe in love for a young imperial concubine, and ruin his own rule, which was followed by great chaos and revolt, as well as unrecoverable decline of the empire.

14), 760 AD:- In Europe, 756 AD King Pepin III of Charlemagne Empire invaded and acquired the land of Lombardi, which he then offered to Pope Stephen II as a present. This marked the beginning of territorial rule by a religion, the Catholic Church. The church then became a sovereign power and ruled with its own army and navy. The possession of large domain of land and the political rule by a church are both unusual and purely materialistic for a religion.

In China, 755 AD was the year a famous revolt, known as the “An-Shi Turmoil”, broke out in the Chinese late Tang Dynasty. There were 2 major reasons. The 1^st was that economical prosperity had created a powerful class of land lords, followed by corruptions and power snatching. The 2^nd reason was Emperor’s own moral bankruptcy due to his abnormal sexual fascination for his young and beautiful imperial concubine, Yang-Gui-Fei as well as his rotten and blind trust for her family, which had become a great powerful pest. When an Emperor became uncontrollable, the whole system followed suit. Although the revolt did kill the concubine and crushed her family, as in the end it had also forced the Emperor to abdicate! But the Empire never recovered. It appears that Halley Comet’s indirect influence not only can make ship-captains err, but also the mind of a perfectly able Emperor to go berserk! At any rate, prior to Tang dynasty, China had been through centuries of change, chaos and poverty, so she was hungry for a period of economical boom in the dynasty of Tang… and Halley Comet provided the chance and energy!

15-19), The following episodes of Halley comet's visit, i.e. 837 AD;  912 AD; 989 AD;1066 AD and 1145 AD, fall also under the period of European Dark Ages. During these centuries European history became dark and blurred. I have therefore neglected them. The Halley influences, if any, could only be negative, except in China. In this period China was at her peak of her cultural achievements under the Sung dynasty. Arts and literatures of this period are considered to be at all time height in Chinese history... Because it was mainly a rather evenly cultural period, I will not elaborate to save some space.

18), 1066 AD:-  In Spring of 1066 AD Halley Comet arrived. On Oct 14th 1066 AD King Horald II, the last of Anglo Saxon Kings, was killed in the battle of Hastings by Norman invaders, King William the Conqueror, thus ending the Anglo Saxon rule in English history.... 

21), 1222 AD:-  Mongolian Ghengis Khan organized the first military campaign westwards. The years of 1220 and 1221 saw the razing of Bukhara, Samaekand, Herat, Tus, Nshipur and the slaughter of whole population. Ghenghis Khan conquered Iran, Iraq, Persia and part of Russia, and in all 4 military campaigns during the next one cycle of Halley comet's visit (76 years) the Mongolians went as far as the European river Danau or Danube (now Austria). Multiple millions were killed under the Mongolian arrows. Later Europe was spared because Kublai Khan and his sons turned their interests towards that highly cultural China, where they finally settled down, and forgot even their own home... Kublai Khan, who became emperor of China withdrew from Middle East and Europe completely, and established Chinese Yuan Dynasty. Kublai Khan was born in 1215 and died in 1294 between 2 episodes of Halley visits. The Mongolian invasion of Middle East, Russia and Europe had wakened up the dormant European Dark Ages and brought many new things and knowledge to the West  

22), 1301 AD:-  Marco Polo returned to Venice from China in 1295. He brought things and ideas from China. Gun powder was passed from China to the Arabs in 1304 from where it reached Europe.  In AD 1309 the Roman Catholic Church moved to Avignon in France. In Rome the authority fell into the hands of Colonna family. .   

23), 1378 AD:- In 1377 AD Roman Catholic Church moved back to Rome. The desertion of Popes from their papal seat from Rome to France marked one whole cycle of Halley comet's orbit. i.e. about 76 years. During this period the prestige of Papacy had fallen so low that it was possible for mercenaries in French to pay under French leadership to harass and humiliate the Pope with impunity. Pope Boniface VIII was arrested in his own family palace, an incident later referred to as "Babylonian Captivity".  

In China, 1378 AD was the year the Yuan Dynasty was put down, after only 88 years under Mongolian rule. The revolt was led by a commoner Chinese folk, Jhu Yuan Zang . So, directly on the apparition of Halley Comet in 1378 AD the Ming Dynasty was established. Ming Dynasty under the family of Jhu took over the rule of all the territories conquered and expanded by the Mongolians, including Tibet and Mongolia itself.

24), 1456 AD:- Leonardo Da Vinci was born in 1452 and Michelangelo was born in 1475. These twin apexes of artistic civilization seems to answer for the 1st and 2nd wave of Halley comet's influences at the height of European Renaissance. Christopher Columbus was born in 1457. In 1450, the first repeatable Printing Press was made in Europe by Johannes Gutenberg of Germany. This episode of Halley arrival seems to have unusually benefited European Renaissance. From here on European military might and civilization boomed. 

25), 1531 AD:- In 1528/9, a pandemic of unknown "sweating" disease swept through Europe. It started in England, spread to Hamburg, Scandinavia, then onto Lithuania, Poland, Russia as well as Netherlands. The pandemic was very severe with very high mortality rate. A second wave of Sweating disease occurred in 1551. It was fully recorded and described by Physician John Caius, who was practicing in Shrewsbury in 1551 when an epidemic recurred. The illness began with headache, giddiness, and severe prostration, and after one to three hours violent drenching sweat came on, followed by severe headache, delirium and rapid pulse, death occurred 3 to 18 hours later. Obviously this is the work of some unknown virus, which had mutated at Halley Comet’s near perihelion. .      

In 1532 the Inca Empire was conquered by the Spaniard Francisco Pisarro with less than 200 soldiers. Nicholas Copernicus published his important "Six Books Concerning the Revolution of Heavenly Orbs" in 1543, the year of his death. But he wrote those books a few years earlier, because he dared not publish them until he was lying in his death bed. His work marked the beginning of modern science and belief (a huge turning point in history).

26), 1607 AD :- Between 1604 and 1613 AD Russia plunged into 2 periods of major confusion. In 1604 Poland supported Otrepiev who pretended to be a Russian Prince and invaded Russia. In 1605, Otrepiev proclaimed himself as Emperor of Russia. The next year those Polish forces were driven out. Then came Bolotnilov peasant revolt and again invasion by Poland and Sweden. Later, Moscow was recovered by forces of Russian volunteers, who then promoted Mikhail in 1613 as the Emperor of Russia (Another highly abnormal political occurrence).    

In 1609 Johannes Kepler published his "New Astronomy" showing the first true picture of the solar system. In the same year1609, Galileo built the first telescope. Both historic events opened the door for modern science and the view of universe. Prior to the use of telescope, Sun was the one and only almighty God of the universe, hence the worship of all sun related religions, such as Paganism and all its derivatives. Now, Sun is but a tiny member of our Milky Way galaxy, and even more insignificant in the infinite universe. All Copernicus, Kepler and Galileo's works were carried out under the duress of the church, and were all under unnatural circumstances.

27), 1682 AD:- In 1656 Edmond Halley was born. In 1666 London experienced a horrific outbreak of bubonic plaque that killed one person in every five. On Nov 1682 morning 6.30 AM Edmond Halley observed the Halley Comet. 

In 1687 AD Issac Newton published "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy", which is one of the most important single works in the history of modern science. I have no need to introduce further details here. The brain activities of great men, such as Leonardo Da Vince, Michelangelo, Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Newton and the like, who are already gifted, could have been boosted and enhanced by the Halley effect to well above the ordinary human capacities, and made them great geniuses among humans. This period was in the Renaissance, the favorably rising social environments were ready for the comet's extra assistance, just as during Dark Ages, the negatively ebbing social conditions added by the extra cosmic fluctuations could only result in prolonged and aggravated detriments .     

28), 1759 AD:- Halley Comet return for the first time as predicted by Edmond Halley. 

The apparition of Halley Comet in 1759 and the next one in 1835 marked the start of great change that has made the world what it is today, especially for America. So I will spend a few words on it. During the 1850s Britain was heavily engaged in the so called "Great War for the Empire" against France, helped Spain, in North America. 

In 1759, right on the closest perihelion of the Comet, the British forces under James Wolfe captured Quebec from the French army led by the Marquis de Montcalm. This was the turning point of history. By the fall of 1760 the British had taken Montreal, and England possessed practical control of all of the North American continent. The conclusion of wars and contest for control of North America had been settled in the Treaty of Paris of 1763. However, Britain's victory over France had been won at very great cost. British government expenditures, which had amounted to nearly £6,500,000 annually before the war, rose to about £14,500,000 annually during the war. By 1763 the British national debt stood at £114 millions. As a result, the burden of taxation in England was probably the highest in the country's history, much of it borne by the politically influential landed classes. Furthermore, with the acquisition of the vast domain of Canada and the prospect of holding British territories both against the various nations of Indians and against the Spaniards to the south and west, the costs of colonial defense could be expected to continue indefinitely. 

So the British government began to seek increased resources from the colonies. This was the background to George Grenville's decision, in 1765, to pass the Stamp Act. It was, amongst other demands, a measure designed to raise revenue in the American colonies by putting a tax on all legal and commercial papers. But it stirred up intense resentment and the Americans boycotted British goods. Then in 1767, British government again levied duties on some imports into the colonies, including a duty on tea, and linked this proposal with plans to remodel colonial government. These measures exacerbated American discontent. As a result, the British colony in America declared independence in 1776 with some help from the French. These series of events also led to the French Revolutions in 1789 and 1830, which then linked to the next Comet apparition in 1835. The French revolution practically eliminated aristocracies and nobilities clean in France, and the overwhelming emotion of people’s rule added great passion and glorifications to the American voice and proclamation of people’s freedom and equality ever since, although segregation continued for almost 2 more centuries.

In about 1759 Robert Clive of East India Company won the Battle of Plassey and became the Master and Governor of Bengal, India. In 1765 (6 years after Halley) he reorganized his colony. The power of East India Company was later effectively taken over by the British government from 1773 onwards (also a 2nd wave effect 14 years after Halley), which marks the beginning and turning point of the British Empire as the territorial dominion in India. It was unusual that a trading company would have its own army, navy as well as a colony and was then succeeded by a government.  

Child musical genius Mozart was born in 1756, and Beethovan was born in 1770, probably both geniuses could have been stimulated or enhanced by the extra charge of energy during Halley visit. An unusual charge of cosmic energy could affect the human fetus, or the egg, while still in the mother’s womb, or while the microscopic sperm is developing in the father’s body. The strong charge of energy might have also caused Beethovan to go deaf. The fact that Beethovan was deaf and yet could still compose heavenly melodies, which are almost inhuman and still unsurpassable today, was probably due to the extra charge of energies from the solar emissions, because somehow this visit and the next visit of the comet appear to have brought about unparalleled musical miracles that have become well beyond normal comprehension....         

29), 1835 AD :- At the very beginning of 19th century the English started to introduce opium into China through the East India Co. It was said to stop pains. So for the next 3 to 4 decades everybody in China, from government officials to the peasants, was stopping pains. Special reclining furniture were designed for smokers. Soon everybody was in reclining positions and everything they had owned went up in smoke. The Chinese government repeatedly tried to prohibit it without success and negotiations with the British proved also fruitless, and opium problem reached climax at the top of Comet’s apparition. So in 1838 one official confiscated over 20,000 cases of opium from the British and burnt them. War started in 1840 and lasted 2 years. The British forces broke into many southern cities and were marching northwards to Peking. They burnt the beautiful palace Yi–Her-Yuan . At that time, Ching Dynasty , ruled by the ignorant old grandma Chu-Shi, got scared and conceded to the British under the Nanking Treaty in 1842 (7 years after Halley), when Ching had to pay for all British costs of wars. Also Hong Kong was given as a Colony. It was reported that the corrupt official responsible for the treaty told the Ching imperial court that Hong Kong was but the size of a "Sesame Seed". The name got stuck! Sesame Seed became the nickname for Hong Kong (An unbelievable event in history).  

This was followed by a much worse second unrest. One Roman Catholic Church devotee Hong Siu Chuan , after preparing organization and gathering followers for some 10 years (right on Comet arrival in 1835), officially launched his nation-wide arms revolt in 1843 AD (8 years after Halley) against the Ching Dynasty , which nearly took over the rule of China. Hong also claimed to be “Son of God” and “Brother of Jesus”. So his kingdom was gloriously named the "Heavenly Father, Heavenly Brother, Heavenly Peace Kingdom". It was the only large-scale religious unrest and killings ever occurred in Chinese history. Large bloody revolt really took place in 1850 (15 years after Halley), which lasted another 14 years and took over more than half of China (as many as 16 Chinese provinces). It was so Heavenly Peaceful that actually tens of millions had perished during that long civil war, and even more were driven to poverty and hunger because majority of Chinese family were already made desperate because of opium and opium wars. In the end, according to General Zeng who broken into Nanking walled city, Hong Siu Chuan committed suicide. Other historians reported that Hong died from illness just few days before the city was broken in. Hong’s suicide was more likely because otherwise it would have been too timely and coincidental for him to die of natural disease, just as Hong had entered the hours of desperation. The walled city had been completely surrounded and besieged for so long, that it had run out of all foods and provisions. It was said his soldiers were so starved that they had no strength to hold up weapons… Of course millions of Hong’s responsible followers and participators died during the revolt, who had preached and promised Ever Lasting Life to believers, also Hong’s own family members, relatives and clansmen were all executed by the Ching government of the time. The whole episode of unrest lasted some 36 years, like other estimated episodes of Halley Comet’s influence. Years later, historians had worked out statistically that during the decades of opium infested China, opium wars and Christian revolt about one quarter of Chinese population had vanished.

In 1827, a British naval captain, James Stirling arrived Australia. He examined the Swan River and started to get English capitalist-adventurers interested in colonization. Two years later he returned to the Swan River and became governor of the new colony of Western Australia. This started waves of settlers to arrive and create of more colonies. In South Australia, the first colonists arrived in 1836, and Adelaide was settled the following year. The northern and southern portions of New South Wales formed separate colonies. Settlement into the Port Phillip district in the south proceeded very quickly, starting from the mid 1830s with colonists coming both from north of the Murray and from Tasmania. The settlement of Melbourne began in 1835 (right on Halley Comet’s perihelion), and the place boomed immediately. The first settlers experienced great hardship in working the land and building a living, but two uncommon reasons had made it possible. Firstly, the Comet apparition must have helped. Secondly, at the time the British government was transporting "convicts' (convicted law offenders) to remote colonies in America and Australia as punishment. Altogether some 151,000 convicts were sent to eastern Australia and nearly 10,000 to Western Australia, and much more to Tasmania. Therefore, this Comet apparition also marked a major turning moment in history.

Chopin composed his first major works Études and Ballade between 1835 and 1836 (right on Halley arrival) at the age of about 25. Note: Musical notes are known to be linked to vibratory frequencies of solar planets, as they move and resonate in the solar field symmetry. It is perhaps possible that waves of rising musical interests and progress in the past were somewhat related to the Halley visit too! The present wave of popular music in China was started with the emergence of Kara Oke in 1989. (This writer had even predicted the rising trend of music before 1989 and had also mentioned it in the first one of these two letters to Deng Xiao Ping... ). However, if any of the talented musicians today had been influenced by the Comet’s visit, then they are still very young. I wouldn’t be surprised if in the next 20 to 30 years some really constructive creations might start to pour from their geniuses.

Alfred Nobel was born in Oct 1833, just before Halley’s apparition. By the age of 16 he was already fluent in English, French, German, Russian and Swedish. Men of extraordinary capacities bearing great consequence to human society, and are born close to the time of Halley comet's visit, might have been charged with unusual cosmic energy during embryonic development before birth. Nobel was a man of many talents, and his riches were unrivaled in his time, yet he never got married. Many great geniuses and great works in history were inspired by love, but these geniuses lived alone, probably because they needed the extreme and the completely undisturbed concentration. The Nobel Prize has been also an unprecedented and unparallel encouragement to intellectual achievements since his death. His existence depicts another extraordinary corner stone in modern history... 

This year (1835) the Roman Catholic Cathedral (St. Paul) in Macau was burnt to ground for the 3rd time. Now only the front part and stairs remain. 15 years later (1850) the Christian military revolt of "Heavenly Father, Heavenly Brother and Heavenly Peace Kingdom" began in China and took over 16 provinces. Made Nanjing (then Nanking) their Capital in trying to take over the country. Fighting lasted nearly 15 years when tens of millions died. Finally Nanking wall city was broken in and leader Hung Siu Chuan who proclaimed to be the heavenly brother of Jesus, the second Son of God, committed suicide.      

30), 1910 AD:- In Italy musical genius Puccini Giocomo wrote "Madam Butterfly" in 1904. 

In Russia, social problem was building up to a peak. Lenin started the well known October Revolution in 1917 (7 years after Halley). Elsewhere, 1st World War began in 1914 (4 years after Halley) and finished in 1918. Then Spanish Flu in 1918-1919 took some estimated 25 to 50 million lives. In China, the last Emperor of China, who was just a child, abdicated in 1911, almost directly on Halley Comet’s apparition. It was the end of about 5000 years of rule in China under kingdoms or empires. KMT government took over China. Second wave was followed by Sino-Japanese war of 1937 and 2nd World war, leading to atom bomb at Hiroshima. Again the entire episodes of Halley Comet’s influence took about 35 years.

In 1905 (also a few years before the Comet’s apparition) Einstein proposed the Special Relativity theory basing on the following equation:- E = mc² = m_or(v)c², where r(v) = 1/Ö(1-V²/C²). The last part of equation 1/Ö(1-V²/C²) is known as the Lorentz’s Factor of H.A. Lorentz’s Transformation. This equation puts two different mathematical disciplines in the same mathematical equation, i.e. V (the linear velocity) is calculated with mathematics of Classic Linear Velocity and C (the speed of light, which is a sinusoidal wave of photons, or a wave of electromagnetic radiation) is calculated only with Differential Calculus involving sine/cosine components, but Einstein puts the two separate math disciplines, or two different math processes in the same calculation. Then in 1916 Einstein proposed his General Relativity with the mathematics of imaginary, or non-existent, 4^th dimensional space, i.e. ( x_1, x_2, x_3,√-1.ct ). These two Relativity theories have influenced the whole world of science for about a century.

31), 1986 AD:- HIV-AIDS was first discovered in about 1979, initially among homosexuals. By 1986 it began to spread among other sexual partners.

Because Kowloon’s least to England was near expiration, by the approach of Comet’s apparition, the problem regarding the future of Hong Kong and Macau was coming to a head. In 1989 a group of emotional students occupied the Beijing Tien An Men, the parliamentary square for 58 days, refusing to disperse and demanding immediate change of national political structure, which was already the largest on earth. It alerted me to the effects of Halley Comet’s arrival. I wrote to senior leader Deng Xiao Ping, suggesting to start open-door policy with bolder steps and prepare for a world wide surge in musical interests, etc.. It appeared that China had timely ridden the wave of Halley Comet's stimulation and started a surge of constructive energies never known in human history. This enormous agricultural community suddenly turned into a top ranking industrial nation in the time of just about one short decade. Now looking back, such a vast scale will power, enthusiasm and energy from the entire population appears to have been boosted by some extra cosmic stimulation. 

Elsewhere, also big changes were brewing. In 1990 Russia opted for multi party system. Ukraine and Belarus declared independence. In 1991 under President Yeltsin the old Soviet Union broke up. In Germany 1990 was the year of reunion when Berlin wall was pulled down. 

The first Gulf war was in 1991 and followed by 2nd Gulf war in 2002. The effect of this 2nd wave is still brewing and steaming away with very long term consequences. In the 1st Gulf War, four ex-heads of states, i.e. Nixon, Keath, Brandt and Tanaka, went to Baghdad to persuade Saddam to get out of Kuwait, but Saddam declined. He thought he could fight with 38 nations and half million coalition army. In the 2nd Gulf War, Saddam Hussein's military capacities were already shuttered in the 1st Gulf War, but Saddam fought on with multination coalition forces. Later as Saddam’s forces were already defeated, President Mubarak of Egypt offered Saddam safe-haven but was refused. He’d rather hide in a small underground hole, and was caught. It appeared the brain of such an experienced national leader, Saddam, was strongly and fatally affected by the comet energy...    

In 2005 natural disasters like Tsunami in South East Asia, Storm in New Orleans and earthquake in Cashmere happened. Also in 2006 great earthquake occurred in Indonesia. In 2008 great earthquake occurred in China, which killed some 70,000 people. There has been also the scare of Bird Flu (H5N1) and Swine Flu (H1N1), which are not yet finished.

In 29th July 2006 evening the TV program "60 Minutes Plus" in Hong Kong carried a story about journalist Miss Leslie Staw interviewing 2 blind boys and one girl, born under the present episode of Halley visit, each with strong mental and physical disabilities but miraculously gifted with inexplicable musical talents, including instant improvisation, rearrangement, even composition of music on piano right after hearing some unfamiliar songs. The older boy was born around the time of 1st Gulf War, which correspond to the 1st wave of Halley effect. The two other younger boys and a girl were born about 15 years later, which correspond to the 2nd wave of Halley effect. These 3 miraculous instances confirm my theory that musical geniuses are often born with, or influenced by, extraordinary charges of planetary radiations brought on by Halley comet's visit, and that the effects are quite likely split into 2 waves. In all these 3 cases, the extra charge of planet energy was so strong that caused strong birth defects, yet turned the affected children into inexplicable super musical talents. Such gifts cannot be acquired by normal people, let alone impaired person. Perhaps it is true that the 7 musical notes are the echoing or humming vibratory frequencies of the solar planets traveling within the balanced symmetry of the solar energy field.  

This episode of Halley Comet’s influence seems to have brought about a heat wave of suicidal motivations, both in the minds of humans and animals, for instance, the stone throwing kids in Gaza, the suicidal bombers everywhere, Saddam Hussein's suicidal invasion of Kuwait and his suicidal attempt to face 38 nation coalition forces, September 11th's suicidal air crashes, many strange and unprecedented suicidal policies of politicians. There was also a marked increase in suicides of Hong Kong citizens towards end of 2005, including two teachers and one mother (of a supposedly happy family) who suddenly left home with her 3 year old daughter and jumped from her hotel window to her death. The motives to suicide of these 3 seemingly normal people are still a mystery..... Suicides ranged all the way even to suicidal whales and other animals. Perhaps we could call the present fashionable trend "A Suicidal Wave". On the 20th Jan 2006, one very distressed deep sea whale, 6 meters long, somehow got badly disorientated, or went berserk and swam through the Thames River right into the center of London city. This is probably another example of disturbance in brain function. Unfortunately, this whale died before rescuers could put it back to sea. So, in the end, this whale really committed suicide too.  

One other significant coincidence, if it is a coincidence at all, is China's sudden rise in the recent years! China was able to ride the up surging energy of the comet. Deng Xiao Ping established Shen-Zhen city right on the arrival of Halley Comet in 1984. It was the first move that would lead to China's reformation and modernization. China's new social and economic developments have become well above the usual of any known national development in global history. China in fact is demonstrating to the rest of mankind that it is possible to achieve success, or even greatness, without any military conquest or any other aggressive undertakings... Without any doubt, the efforts and good will of the contemporary Chinese government will go down history in praise! 

In the aspect of music, there has been an unusual wave of modern and classical music that is sweeping across the Chinese nation. A whole contingent of musical talents has emerged recently. Two absolutely talented young Chinese pianists suddenly embarked onto the world stage. They are Lang Lang and Li Yun Di. Also Cellist Yo Yo Ma had immigrated to the States, I think. Recently (Jan 2007) I have seen a news program in "60 Minutes" showing 3 American children, name Rex, Rachel and Derek, who are clearly blind and severely disabled, but possessing miraculous musical genius. All these young talents were born within the time period after Halley comet's arrival... This appears to be rather clear confirmation for my theory...    

Presuming that I am right, then at this moment of writing (March 2007), the influence from the last Halley Comet's visit is still continuing. Hopefully the final consequence would be good only, because human ideological and cultural conflicts always leads to extremely costly and lasting blood shed, which go much deeper than wars initiated by territorial or material ambitions. Any modern conventional wars could end up eventually in nuclear war, which had already begun in the last World War. Therefore, the next big war, especially under coalition of warring parties of either nations or smaller armed groups, could still escalate to large wars, and build the background for nuclear war, depending on how long and how strong the desire to make war would persist, and also how much and how far the human will of revenge would ultimately go. 

The losers of a first wave of war often goes on to create some years later a bigger 2nd wave of war, e, g. 1st and 2nd World War. Even an earthquake can have a second After Shock, because all energy waves must eventually reach equilibrium before peace can return. Unnecessary coalition of warring parties could bring forth unnecessary coalesced retaliations. Therefore, modern wars are mutually costly and destructive, and have no winners, nor heroes. They are gambles not just for the nations and groups involved, but for the whole human kind as well.  This was the reason why I point out that the human nature is still raw, because there has been only roughly 150 generations of recorded intellectual evolution. The human intelligence and wisdom are still at infancy. It is also why I present herewith a collection of historic examples, showing the extents of human brain waves that could be unconsciously energized and stimulated by nature's forces, causing abnormal phenomena and forcing history to turn a new direction.  I think there is no need for me to describe in details what the next world war would be like, if and when it occurred. Yet, such a war is possible because when a wave of cosmic energy surges, not just one single political leader's brain would be affected, but the whole human kind's brains are simultaneously and unconsciously affected. That's when and how wars really get going... 

Conclusions:- The above periods denote all the known and observed Halley Comet’s apparitions since 240 BC, which had been properly recorded in written Chinese history. Practically in more than half of the episodes above I have shown that major historical changes in Chinese or European societies did occur very close to Halley Comet’s return, or even directly upon the year of the Comet’s apparition, as if to indicate that the Comet had something to do with the manifestation of those major junctions in human history. However, in many episodes the signs of changes had already begun a few years before the Comet’s arrival. This fact indicates that Halley’s close perihelion to the Sun may have caused two waves of fluctuations in abnormal solar emissions, therefore the Comet’s influence is not direct. Instead, those fluctuations of solar emissions could cause noticeable rise in earth temperature, virus mutations as well as strongly stimulate the human brain behaviors, affecting every person and causing trends of abnormal ideas across the whole human society. Unfortunately we are unable to trace back historically all the records of global temperatures except perhaps for the last two apparitions of Halley Comet, but it should be quite natural to assume that global temperatures are the direct results from solar emissions.

However, if I am right about the above discussions, then another possibility is that the present episode of Halley’s influence is approaching its end, not only because the wars and political minds are becoming milder and more rational lately, also the last 2 winters had been very cold with heavy snow, but there is another reason, which is that some over 30 years have passed since the first detection of abnormality, which is the usual span of Halley Comet’s influence as I have shown above. Meanwhile, if this theory is correct, then there is another possibility that Halley Comet could function as a periodic catalyst to advance evolution of human intelligence and civilization as well as those micro species of life on earth, which would then develop to more advanced life forms. At the same time, if it could stimulate viruses to mutate, then to some extent it might even affect the normal growth and development of a microscopic human sperm, producing unusual geniuses, or perhaps, abnormally undesirable humans…

The above described new and stimulated major social phenomena may be bad or good, all depending on the conditions and developing trends of a particular society at the time. For instance, China was poised and ready for revival after centuries of opium invasion and weakening, so now China grew with unprecedented speed in recent years, starting from the last approach of Halley Comet. In the European history, there had been some episodes of Halley’s apparitions directly after Renaissance. So, with great speed many European nations also boomed, and rose to become military and colonial powers, while conveniently helped by 3 of the 4 ancient Chinese inventions, namely, the printing press (for books and information), the gun powder and the compass. Consequently many colonial wars followed. Today, books, information, languages, sciences and nuclear technologies are rapidly becoming homogenized across the entire globe. There can be no doubt that any wrong preference or attraction for military conquest, or wars, can only bring the human race quicker and closer to nuclear wars. At any rate, imperialistic or threatening behaviors would only create determined enemies all over the world.

Therefore military conquests, and even conquest of political religions would probably soon go out of fashion. In time, democracy will be the only natural choice, without external pressures, to function a nation, but it’s by far better or more truly democratic to do it without dividing up the nation into two or more splitting, fighting, arguing, or hating, or fist throwing, even self destroying and civil war making parties. Then as habits turn into untouchable belief, similar groups gang up into allies, only to eventually make the world into two huge confronting and mutually bombing parties. It should be particularly and strongly reminded that if cosmic radiation could affect the brain behaviours of the animal and the human, then it would affect or excite not just one single individual but all individuals across the entire population all at the same time, for instance:- The 1^st World War was inflamed and aroused by the assassination of one Austrian archduke Francis Ferdinand, and the 1^st Iraqi warring coalition parties (38 nations) were quickly assembled in about one month against one single Iraqi nation, and yet, it had never stopped, nor scared off Saddam Hussein, nor any of the suicidal bombers over all those years!

How very easy it is to group into war parties and therefore how equally easy to start the next nuclear world war, without an unavoidable, or a proven, or even a really serious cause? How very easy it is to be led by one victory loving or blood seeking leader to cause tens, even hundreds of millions of broken human lives and displaced families? Whilst one humane and wisdom seeking leader would influence and benefit the entire mankind in harmony, peace and prosperity! Who is to blame for following their ancestor’s tradition and religion that weaker sexes are not made equal as the stronger ones. How many coloured females were not treated as equal only a few decades ago that are still fresh in memory today? But did that invite foreign invasions with air bombardments, tanks and soldiers to kill? At any rate, how does one follow and change ones ways and life, even ones government and political culture under the barrel of guns? Wars are always the most massive and ruthless offense to basic human rights… The only explanation, or excuse, I can find here is that Comet’s close perihelion could cause abnormal surges of solar emissions, which in turn would make captains of ships and reckless political leaders err! It is also why dozens of nations and unstoppable numbers of suicidal fighters could be so quickly aroused and coalesced into action without adequate precautions of historic and economic consequences. Indeed, what would historians write someday? How much more deaths, sufferings and poverties must people of all sides continue to sacrifice? And for whom or for what?

Lastly, it is of course a good thing to raise alarm about environmental changes and to make efforts to prevent global warming, even to spend millions or billions for it because protection of the environment should always be welcome. So I hope the interests to protect the ecological environment will continue, but in the meanwhile I also think it is even better to investigate and understand what causes the temperature increase first, so that one would know where, how and to what extent ones efforts should be directed. Perhaps the discussions here would raise interests in some curious minds to investigate further, and to observe whether or not Global Warming is decreasing or indeed coming to end.

                                            --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note:- The social energy and ecological energy are both cumulative energies. They can slowly accumulate for a long time and almost ready for explosion, then the addition of a small additional energy could set off a sudden eruption, such as an earthquake or a political revolution. The above list of historic events seems to mark some of the most important corner stones of human civilization over the past 2 millenniums. Are they all co-incidents? The timing of these historic events appears to correlate with the arrival of Halley comet's visits and appear to confirm my suspicion that additional turbulence in solar energy field is likely to aggravate or stimulate the human brain activities well beyond the normal, both good and bad, causing some of the great changes in history. Some of these changes are turning moments in history, others seem to jolt human behavior far beyond normal proportions. These changes are difficult to delineate and probably are attributed to Halley's indirect influence, because they include both god and bad concurrently. 

The influence seems to come in two waves. The first wave begins within 7 years before the comet's nearest approach to the sun. The initial effects may or may not be noticeable, e.g. the tiniest living organs on earth, i.e. viruses, may begin to mutate with or without causing harms to humans, and background energies for social change begin to sprout and take shape. Then sometime during the subsequent 9 years after the comet's arrival the energy explodes into actions and historic events manifest with ferocity. However, frequently a second wave of social energy would follow in the next 10 to 20 years, similar to "After Quake" or "After Shock" of earthquakes. This second wave rises as a consequence of the first wave and could produce a wider and more permanent resultant social change until the energies of both waves are finally even out. By that time, a corner stone in history has been established. 

Recently there had been some reports that NASA is planning to blow up approaching comets that may hit the earth. I would suggest not to blow up any of nature's balance yet, especially Halley comet, or any comets, or whatever their tiniest influence on earth, unless such cosmic projectiles really endangers earth, or at least until all scientists have thoroughly studied and understood the full effects of comet's visit, because to me Halley seems to be a catalyst that gives an extra kick to nature's evolution. It could have served as an extremely important extra facility of the solar system, that causes living things to initiate changes or mutation, and then evolve, and finally reorganize, and then renormalize, say once every 76 years. In other words, the comet visits could be an important key to the evolution on our earth. And we certainly don't want to blow it up or disturb it unless we know exactly what we are doing. There are some comets that have orbits of 2 to 3 thousands year, perhaps these comets could have triggered off the ages of civilization, such as the Neolithic, the Bronze and the Nuclear ages...   

If this theory is true, which boils down to say that Halley comet's arrival does excite fluctuations in the radiation field of the solar system with resultant consequences, then it is reasonable to deduce that the smallest living organs, such as viruses, would be forced to mutate during the period of cosmic disturbances. As to when and how the mutation might take place, it would depend on environment conditions at the time, and also on the type of viruses, whether the mutation is harmful to humans or not. I suppose during the endless course of evolution the human and animal physical functions, as well as the ecological activities have acquired certain habitual momentum or balance, which we regard as nature. So in times of cosmic energy fluctuation the characteristics of habitual brain functions could be excited beyond the norm, both good and bad, but always new. If the human male can change his sexual instinct and couple with his fellow men under the influence of Comet disturbance, then why can’t those lesser developed lives, such as viruses do the same, and so to mutate new species? This assumption is probably useful in the understanding and prevention of harmful virus mutation. Perhaps historians could dig out much more past records than I can do here and now, which would be nice... Besides, knowledge leads to control, and controlled virus mutation may lead to cultivation of new viruses for medical use....  This list of events is by no means complete, but I will leave the rest for others to research and to confirm or reject.    

Last words on possible effect of Halley Comet::-  (This part was relocated here from the 2nd letter)

I put these letters on the Internet because they were written in Dec1989 and Dec1990. At the time there were great changes taking place in Russian and in China. Africa was plagued with famines and diseases. Great flood in Bangladesh took 110,000 lives. Kids in Gaza were throwing stones at soldiers with machine guns. Whales were committing suicide in groups. World economy was down. Hong Kong was about to change sovereignty. Everywhere uncertainty loomed. Suddenly Saddam Hussein jumped to action and invaded Kuwait. Tension began to build. The US led 38 nation allied forces and war machines were piling up in the region, demanding Saddam to withdraw from Kuwait. Saddam refused. Then four ex-heads of states, i.e. Nixon, Keath, Brandt and Tanaka, went to Baghdad to persuade Saddam to get out of Kuwait, but Saddam declined. So the world fell into great apprehension.  If Saddam had listened to those retired statesmen, he would have enjoyed a much improved reputation and prestige at that time, but instead Saddam's brain turned to jelly. All these were phenomena that would not have happened at any normal times....   

I had been studying astrology and cosmology with related astronomy for some years. Historically there had been many alarming warnings about the arrival of Halley Comet, although without explanations or proof. Anyhow I too suspected it could have been the Halley Comet's disturbance, which arrived at very end of 1985. In fact, practically on the day of Halley's arrival, Reagen and Gorbachev embraced each other in Geneva, ending decades of Cold War. It seemed scientifically sound to me that sudden arrival of comet could disrupt the normalcy of the solar energy field, in which all lives on earth live and evolve, also upon which seasons depend. So I look up history of comet visits and found a somewhat vague but visible pattern, which led me to the following deductions:-  When the comet approaches the solar system, we don't feel its effect. It begins when the comet enters near the sun, then things begin to happen as Halley’s volume expands. The normalcy of human brain activity begins to alter in increasing strength. This is when new ideas and new directions begin to emerge. However the greatest effect occurs only when the comet leaves the established energy system. As it affects all people, it brings about a wave of stimulated social events, such as the official recognition of man to man marriage. 

The effect of comet departure from earth environment appears to create a kind of drag in the planetary emission, which is stronger and more disturbing than its effects on entry. The drag disturbs the normalcy of our weather and animals micro electric brain waves, producing famines and social changes for about 9 years after the comet departure. To some people the effect is good, to other it's bad, depending on the trend of development at the comet's entry. To those who are affected, the effects are very irrational, and irrational actions could continue to chain react and evolve into greater consequences. (One extreme case is the case of Joseph Frizle of Vienna, who, right on the close approach of Halley Comet’s perihelion in 1985, began to lock up his own daughter in a dungeon and raped her for the next 24 years, producing 7 babies). Halley comet's previous arrival was in 1910 and the 1st World War ended in 9 years later (1919), but Germany lost the war, which energized the cause of the 2nd World War. Here in China, the last imperial dynasty ended in 1911, right after the comet's arrival. In 1918 Chiang Kai Sek took his forces northwards and began internal war. Then soon after the 2nd World War, Chiang retreated to Taiwan. China changed government again... In 1918-1919 Spanish Flu killed an estimated 50 million people... (Note: I do realize that virus mutation is probably caused by a large number of reasons, both local and astral. Also not all viruses are the same and not all mutations are harmful to humans. Yet somehow it makes sense that the fluctuations in cosmic radiation could be one of the more predictable causes). However, these letters and warnings were written about 15 years ago. It's the present problems of unfinished second Gulf War and Afghanistan War, as well as the Bird Flu (H5N1) and Swine Flu (H1N1) that raise the matter to notice...      

At the time of writing the second letter (Dec 1990) Saddam Hussein's brain seemed to be badly disturbed because many retired prominent world leaders went to persuade Saddam to withdraw from Kuwait. Saddam could have withdrawn and enjoyed the increased prestige, but he chose to fight against US and the coalition of 38 nations. To me, that was entirely nuts!..... I thought what if every politician also went nuts, the result could be catastrophic. So I too decided to get wet by writing gentle warnings to the politicians, but to do that I had to introduce Nostradamus' predictions and demonstrate with my own astrological predictions (because astrology is the study of changing patterns of solar planet's energies. Comet's arrival would aggravate those patterns). The 1st letter dated Dec 6th 1989 was quite accidental, but the 2nd letter was intentional. I decided to send it not only to Beijing, but to various other channels. It so happens that the contents of both these letters are still valid today, even though 15 years have passed. The actions that were taken during the years of the Comet's close encounter with earth and the consequences are still continuing, e.g. 2nd Gulf War's lingering effect is still continuing; Saddam's Hussein is now awaiting trial, Iraq's unrest seems to be escalating as bombs are blasting away on daily bases (up until winter of 2005), and Israel is scheduled to withdraw from Gaza in Aug 2005, but bloodshed is still going on. Four terrorist bombs have just gone off in London. It appears that the whole Muslim world is affected, or going to be affected, if the situation continues...

(There seems to be no end of supply of suicidal bombers, and still on the increase. It is quite unimaginable that any person, and in such numbers, would give up life for the sake of Saddam Hussein, or even for the sake of losing a war, or whatever. The root cause appears to be something more fundamental and disparaging. It should not be further inflamed until it's out of proportion, because such waves of suicidal phenomena in both human and animal have not been observed in all recent history. I hope that if these letters had ever done any good in between end of 1989 and 1995, the peak of Halley influence, then let it do some more good now! But that would need compassion between men, and forbearance towards my writings!)      

Part of Eastern Europe has not entirely settled down in comfort and stability yet, but it will. Only China works hard to ride along the Comet influence in a positive pace and has already benefited enormously by embracing courageously and whole heartedly peace, friendship and concurrently all sorts of development through those years. In fact, in my views, China had no choice but to go full ahead in those years. If China had hesitated, the cosmic energy could have turned inwards and become self conflicting. The internal hesitancy and continued external interference could have resulted in unimaginable chaos. This could have affected also peaceful developments in Russia, India, Pakistan, in fact, the whole East and then chain react to the rest of world.... Today, many politicians and religious politicians, not just in the Middle East or in the West, but also in some small countries in the Far East, are still unaware that they are creating not just more internal turmoil and instability, but also conditions that could eventually inflame the whole world in this nuclear age... Fifteen years ago, I went through indescribable inner struggles as I put down those words and added those unusual predictions (especially as a scientists), particularly because at the time my own life too was badly affected by the comet disturbance. But I had to do it!.... 

Now records of past events show that the writing I undertook was right, at least intentionally right. Thanks to Deng Xiao Ping's great wisdom and decisions... And thankfully many, if not most, of my astrological predictions had turned out to be accurate... These two translated letters, and more, were later sent to Dr. B.B. Ghali for UN's 50th Anniversary (see UN letter 1995 ). Now, on the eve of UN's 60th birthday (Oct 2005), I expose these newly edited old writings. I have improved the translations, split the long paragraphs into more readable ones, but retaining the original substances, then I inserted some additional notes and reflections in different color (brown color as you are now reading). By exposing the possible effect of Halley Comet, no matter I had been right or wrong, I may be offering a consideration that Saddam Hussein might not be the only one who had been affected by the comet effect. In fact, every one had been affected to some extent, but thankfully no one took drastic action like Saddam Hussein, and many important political leaders showed restrain in those years. Perhaps they had been forewarned. However, if I had been right about the comet effect, then its chain reactions are still reverberating. I can only hope that I was wrong, or that human logics and love of peace will prevail!  Meanwhile, let's all hope that someday UN will celebrate her 1000th birthday and by that time the world have become truly a close family!!!.

Finally, In 1989 and 1990 letters I highly praised the virtues of democracy, but clearly I also brought up and expanded the virtues of Confucian philosophy of democracy in both letters. The hope was to bridge an understanding between the two political ideals, and to explain why there were so much commotion and demand for democracy. My efforts seemed to have done some good at the time. Thanks to the wisdom of Mr. Deng again. Of course, the Confucian ideal is little known outside China and its old form is largely out of shape and partially forgotten by contemporary scholars, although obviously not to Mr. Deng. Therefore, in 1989 and 1990 I had no need to write too much at the time, but here and now I need to supplement these letters with more notes and reflections. I also need to declare that I had over praised democracy in those original letters for a good reason. I believe an important hint lies in my description of 5 dimensions, where I emphasized that "Timing" and "Location" or "Environment" are the 4th and 5th dimensions. Although these extra dimensions are metaphoric terms, these 5 dimensions can illustrate both East and West philosophies (read 1st letter). Everything does evolve with time and environment and gets old, sick, then perishes. Nothing lasts forever! Perhaps it's time we should all strive to shake loose the old skin or old shell, and transform into new and enlarged beings, not only for the nuclear age, but also for the cosmological age that we are now living in.... 

If we can believe that science is exact and that energies of nearby solar system do affect our weather, temperature and seasons, then we can believe that the same energies must also affect the human brain, hence the human individual and social behaviors. And even if the great majority of humans are strong enough to resist the uncharacteristic energies, the most basic living organs in nature, such as viruses of HIV (AIDS), Spanish Bird Flu, H5N(x), or SARS, might easily be bombarded by the abnormal cosmic radiations and forced to mutate. Such basic living organs must have been the first to catch the changing cosmic energies and become unusually vigorous, until such a time when the entire environmental energy system return to normalcy again. The Spanish Flu killed some 50 million lives about 9 years after Halley's arrival, and the precursor of AIDS was discovered a few years before Halley's arrival, when also suddenly a wave of homosexual activities becomes evident. The actual out burst of HIV-AIDS actually occurred right on and after the comet arrival. The virus mutation could have taken shape unnoticed a few years before the outburst into a HIV-AIDS pandemic. And now gay marriage has become legalized..  

I have illustrated by giving a number of predictions based on patterns of solar planets' energies. When a comet enters the system, it's bound to alter or aggravate those solar energies, even if the comet is not as strong as a planet, but could still affect the human brain. Halley comet's last arrival was at end of 1985. Judging from its previous visits, it seems to create a disturbing drag of energy especially after its departure and cause great social changes for at least 9 years. Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in Aug 1990 at the height of this disturbance. His brain was clearly affected, considering that he thought he could fight the forces of US led 38 nations coalition. Strictly speaking, not just the stone throwing kids in Gaza, but Saddam and his aids were also committing an act of suicide.  But he was not alone, the same energies affected all humans, depending on the individual make-up and quality of brain behavior. Here in this part of the world it was quite evident that the students and the Chinese Premier Zhou Zee-Yang (by sound) were also badly affected by the abnormal energy during the Tien An Men turmoil in 1989, when he practically begged the students and broke out into uncontrollable tears before them. 

In Tien An Men incident, one can easily observe the abnormal influence on human behavior in 2 incidences. One is that how can a group of normally intelligent college students, all acting like a bunch of spoiled kids who must have their own ways on-sot and straight away, demanding immediate change in the fundamental daily functions of an enormous national government by refusing to disperse after 58 days of forcefully occupying the national parliamentary square, where government business are being conducted. Surely, students may be young and inexperienced, but many of those who prompted and supported those students were grown ups, amongst whom there were professors, some known political experts, activists, even agitators and financiers who must have realized what they were doing and have perfectly anticipated that if emotional demands continued and persisted, and if laws and orders totally failed, the final results could only be nothing short of catastrophic for the students as well as for the local government. Perhaps not only the students, but those grown ups who pumped up those youth to persist their forceful demands were also out of their mind too. 

At any rate, those grown up and outsiders were partially responsible. Democracy is in itself a civilized process that seeks peaceful equilibrium and which proclaims respect for the majority views and reasons. The process requires time and thorough examinations of past and present conditions as well as background developments, then through rational discussions and finally majority consent in order to institute changes, if any. Democratic actions are not unrelenting demands of some youthful students who were so emotionally agitated that they dictated or commanded, even tried to bring down the mode and function of a huge national government right on the spot. Therefore to me, people have gone nuts! ... Another observation was even more abnormal and alarming. i.e. how can an experienced national leader and well trained politician suddenly broke into tears, like Niagara Falls, in front of the whole world to watch? And how can the biggest nation on earth be suddenly ruled by the emotional demand of students and tears of national leader, who were ordinarily intelligent and highly logical people? And what happened to Saddam Hussein's brain that preferred the suicidal path instead of increased integrity? Then really who had initiated the record-breaking numbers of civilian plane high-jacks on the morning of Sept 11^th 2001, and started the Second Gulf War? It must be the work of some super or abnormal terrorists. Why do the whales chose to commit suicide as well, and kids in Gaza were throwing stones at soldiers with machine guns. All these behaviors were all clearly suicidal and definitely crazed. Clearly some most unusual forces were at work!.. And now we are still in the second wave of suicides, plus tsunami, earthquakes and great floods almost every week or month.   

You see, the human brains were under cosmic pressure to turn berserk suddenly during the years between 1985 and 1994. These things seem to come in waves. The first wave of abnormal wave probably produces a reaction to cause a bigger secondary wave.  The independence of America occurred during one of the Halley's visits. French participation of American Independence led to her own Great Revolution some one and half decade later. One event seemed to have echoed the other. Halley comet's previous visit was in 1910. In China the last emperor abdicated in 1911. But China changed government right after the 2nd World War. The First World War broke out and ended 9 years after comet's arrival. Only it didn't stop altogether. A decade or two later it caused the 2nd World War because Germany had lost the war and German people elected Corporal Hitler 14 years after end of 1st World War (Note: Hitler was elected in 1933 under the fever of patriotism to become the "Führer", or "Leader". Again these events seemed to have echoed the previous events. Since the 2nd World War 3 generations of human life have come to live on earth. Had there been a electoral system in the 1930s that could have checked and screened the qualities of a candidate, the world today could have been enriched by millions more of Ph.D.s and constructors to greatly enhance living conditions for all peoples. That's why the Western style democracy needs a general over haul and improvement). 

Now the 1st Gulf War occurred 15 years ago. Clearly both the 2nd Gulf War and the 2nd World War are linked to their previous wars. But the Gulf war and the problems in the whole Middle East have not come to conclusions yet. Let's hope that all parties involved exercise restrain, simply because if cosmic energies could cause the human brains or whales to go berserk, then it is possible to lead to a more unexpected war, say a potential nuclear war, or one that's in the making. It boils down to the fact that the choice of quality leadership is therefore a matter of paramount importance, Perhaps the danger is hidden in the fact that the human gene qualities have not advanced sufficiently enough since the beginning of civilization, which began only some 150 generations ago. The danger also means it's the human brain that really triggers the nuclear weapons and not the weapons themselves. A wise and peace loving leader will always bring peace and positive aspirations to the benefit of the people, and the initiatives of wars. So let me repeat! The entire purpose and hope of electing a leader is not expressed in the magnitude of consenting votes, nor in the number of few winning votes, not even how the voting system is designed, but in the essence and hope of searching for the best possible leadership. 

There had been leaders like Hitler, Musollinni, Napoleon and dozens of others through out history who had first tasted the glory of success and ended in tragic failure. At the peak of their success, the mop would hail them as absolute heroes or undisputed leaders. Without doubt they would be chosen with 100% votes and many of them did get re-elected. But they failed ultimately, bringing only shame and untold disasters to their people because they did not have the true quality and wisdom of leadership. For instance, if Hitler had not decided to take Russia, he would not have sealed his own terrible fate. On the other hand, there was one leader, Genghis Khan, who was wise enough to drop all his conquest in Europe and settled down in China as emperor of Yuen dynasty. This was a man who was big enough not only to forget about Europe, but also to foresee that if he had not annexed his home land, Mongolia, to China and amalgamate their own culture with China, then soon after his own death, his people would have been obliterated by the dormant Chinese potential might. But if he was to amalgamate his people to China, he would permanently become part of that well earned civilization.. 

You see, it is the qualities of leaders which will ultimately be needed for decision making in times of emergencies, e.g. in wars, in famines and in times of natural disasters or in economic crisis. It is also the qualities of political leadership that are essential to generate the goodwill, the national unity, the national security, the entire future of the whole people and the harmony with the rest of mankind. The leader of a great nation needs to have a super great brain as well as a super great heart, and to make them work, he or she would need super great strength, not to impress, but to express self-restrain ... That is indeed the true and only reason of humans who vote to choose a leader in every nation on earth... This is also the sole direction and motivation of natural evolution and hence, civilization.... (Added in Feb 2005)
