The Sirius Research Group

Almost every physics student would say “impossible” - the distance to Sirius of approx. 8.6 light-years and the known laws of physics, which apply in the whole universe, would not permit it. One has to admit, the advancements in physics over the last 100 years have brought us enormous realizations. Observations and experiments have proven physical laws almost perfectly. That is ‘almost’, with exceptions like “gravitation”! Today, we still don’t know how gravitation really works. While we seem to have no problem using Newton's and Kepler's laws to understand and explain the physical phenomena that occur within close proximity to our Sun, the discovered laws sadly fail further out in space.

Already the first Apollo missions required corrections to predictions based on known physics. The observations of Simon Newcomb* have also shown deviations, which do not agree with current physics. No reasonable explanation exists as to why the fast moving stars in the outer zones of galaxies do not fly away, given that the assumed centrifugal force is much higher than the centripetal gravitation produced by the inner visible masses of the galaxies.

* "In his standard planetary tables, still used in astronomical research at the large space-flight data center of the Jet Propulsion Laboratories, Prof. Simon Newcomb found he had to modify the inverse square law to agree with observation. Instead of n = 2 in his computations Newcomb thus used n = 2.000001612. This fact and its significance have been virtually ignored in gravitation theory and celestial mechanics."

Despite our most modern scientific understanding, nobody knows how the 70 tons granite blocks in the Great Pyramid were not only cut in their dimensions to exactly one tenth of a millimeter, but were lifted to a height of approx. 60 meters and fit precisely into place without using mortar. It gets even worse if one has to explain how in Baalbek several stone blocks, each weighing hundreds of tons, were being transported over a great distance and then raised onto a platform. Still sticking out of the sand is a finished granite monolith weighing of over 1200 tons. In order to avoid explaining how it got there, science seems to be better off to completely “conceal” it. But if we are not mentally blind, we must seriously ask ourselves "What is gravitation and matter in reality?"

Let us try to loosen a little bit our fixed conceptions about the laws of physics and examine some facts that speak for Sirius as the partner star of our Sun.

1. There is the still unresolved mystery of the reddish Sirius that was observed by Ptolemy in 140 AD (‘Bild der Wissenschaft’, “Das Sirius Rätsel - weiterhin ungelöst” [The Sirius Mystery - still unresolved] 3/1987). Today we know that Sirius appears blue and therefore, it gets closer to us.

2. For more than 6000 years Sirius had its solid place in the Isis-Osiris culture of ancient Egypt; surely not without a reason. The position of Sirius is marked unmistakably in the Zodiac of Dendera, suggesting that Sirius does not show the usual ‘precession’. The same applies to the southern 45° shaft of the Great Pyramid, which is aligned to Sirius. Under the theory of ‘Lunisolar Precession’ such an alignment would have no significance, unless the designers of the Great Pyramid intended for Sirius to be positioned over the 45° shaft nowadays; i.e. for us “chosen ones”. If such a view is taken seriously, the builders at that time would have had a problem. Since they supposedly knew nothing about precession, they could not have known how long a precession cycle is in order to calculate Sirius’ position over the 45° shaft of the Pyramid.

3. Thanks to Sosigenes, who must have been initiated in the Hermetic wisdom, our calendar system was once again re-tuned to Sirius. For at least two thousand years Sirius has shown its unchanged position on the 1st of January with beginning of each solar year. According to ‘Lunisolar Precession’ its position should have shifted by about 28 days during that time span (i.e. 2000 years × 20 minutes per year).

4. Every 49 to 50 years there are enormous fluctuations in the otherwise nearly regular sidereal rotation period of the Earth, which appear to be linked with the revolution period of Sirius B around Sirius A. Climatic fluctuations, which correspond to this cycle, were recorded in past epochs. Significant variations occurred in 1890, 1940 and 1990 (‘Bild der Wissenschaft’, "Die Wetterwende: Vergessene Wahrheiten über das Klima" [The Weather Change: The forgotten truths about the climate], 8/1990). Transit measurements of Sirius during 1989/90, when Sirius A&B and our Sun were in conjunction, confirm these recent enormous fluctuations. Since such gravitational and climatic effects correlate with these astronomical observations, it can be expected that these gravitational influences occur at the speed of light.

5. As soon as we fully understand what gravity is and how it really functions outside of our solar system, the question about the second “empty” focal point in Kepler’s ellipse would also be resolved. In that sense it may also be interesting to note how the inclinations of the axes of the outer planets Mars, Saturn and Neptune in relation to Earth’s inclination steadily increase from 1,75° to 2,25° in direction Sirius, while the Sun’s attraction diminishes with the increasing solar distance of these planets. This is evident regardless of the mass and quantity of their moons.

It cannot be expected that such a “Pro&Contra” turns physics upside down, but rather one sincerely wishes for open-mindedness towards new challenges in an age of increasing cosmic awareness. One of these challenges, for instance, would be to finally say good-bye to the ‘Lunisolar Precession’ model and to find the true cause for the phenomenon of the “Precession of the Equinox”.
