I may have previously mentioned the phenomenon of Tidal pumping causing seismic activity. The gravity field of the larger object opens up the tectonic plates on the smaller object and produce volcanism. On Earth, this seismic heat release is prominent in the trenches of the Ring of Fire.

Just to repeat, as a celestial object moves through space, it carves a gravity well. The Sun and major planets are continuously moving and producing their individual gravity wells. These individual gravity wells can overlap on a predictable periodicity, ergo El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), pulling open the trench system which are termination points of the Ring of Fire, the Tonga Trench (La Niña ) and the Peru/Chile Trench (El Niño).

Rather than list them here, the Earth’s geochemical reactions are myriad and almost all give off heat, including reactions to produce CO2 and hydrocarbons in prodigious quantities, vastly exceeding human activity. All planets conduct these reactions. None of this geochemical heat has been considered in the heat balance of the Earth. In fact, from the New Horizons mission, it is now known that Pluto is very seismically active with lava plains and mountains as high as the Rockies made of Nitrogen/Water Ice. Astronomers were astounded because Pluto is too far distant to be affected by the tidal pumping by the gas giants. Rather, there is another cause of Pluto’s seismic energy release. Gravity waves from distant galaxies routinely wash across us. Such was the cause of the Little Ice Age, the Medieval Warming Period, the Dark Age Cooling Period and the Roman Warming Period.

In fact, given the impact of geochemical heat and released by Tidal Pumping, solar radiation is a minuscule contribution to the Earth’s heat budget. Solar radiation is an adjunct for photosynthesis and heats up the asphalt ….. and that’s about it.

On a galactic scale, a massive gravity well is produced by a Neutron Star Merger (NSM) which causes a massive gravity well and sends out gravity waves, just like a wave generator at a water park. On Aug. 17, 2017, a tremendous NSM occurred at a distance of 23,000 to 25,000 light years from us. This verified Einstein’s prediction made over 100 years ago. It bears the designation GW170817. The research papers on GW170817 have exploded.

In addition to gravity waves, NSMs also produce the very heavy fissile Actinides, far more than what comes from Supernovas. Several mechanisms, both the great density and Electromagnetic properties allow these fissile elements to consolidate and become natural nuclear reactors (i.e. the Terra-Centric GeoReactor, —Herndon & Tuttle), stellar ignition trigger (like an H bomb — Herndon), as well as solar flares (M.a. Padmanabha Rao). Jupiter was a "failed star” — not big enough to form a star.

Galactic gravity waves have a wavelength about equal to the width of a proton, they travel faster than the speed of light, and accelerate even faster. GW170817 was detected first, followed 7 seconds later by a Gamma Ray Burst (GRB). Just just like ripples on the water signaling an approaching storm, we are just now feeling the initial cooling brought on by GW170817. Predictions are that the fuller strength of GE170817 will arrive in a few decades (Starburst Foundation ). We may be back in weather conditions similar to the Little Ice Age.

After a gravity wave passes through our neighborhood, it drives on, accelerating more. With no shoreline for the wave to "break”, the wave passes on and on, expanding the boundaries of the Universe.

The Universe is unbounded going forward and unbounded going backward. We will never know if there was a Beginning and we will never know if there will be an End. We just go on and on, held in the Lord’s Hand.
