What the TRUE NOVA show--- " Decoding the Universe" should have looked like.

AP:: Welcome to our understanding of the Cosmos as of this date May 2026. We have come a long way mostly because of our increasing powerful telescopes. And our insatiable craving to know where we came from and where we are heading for in the future.

Narrator:: The story of astronomy goes back before recorded history to 100,000 years ago when humanity kept looking to the night sky and heavens wondering what it all means.

AP:: Yes, a 100,000 years ago you could not avoid see these bright dots of light in the sky and a large full Moon, and think that religion of gods and goddessess, controled life. And on a practical matter, find that the skies were our first Calendar and our first Clock. To tell  when winter is coming and when spring is coming.

Narrator:: And to navigate the seas by a North Star, Polaris, or, even guide and navigate on land where north, east, west and south were. For if you know north, you know where south and then east and west are.

AP:: The science of astronomy had to get away from religion in telling what Astronomy was. As long as religion tells us what the science is, is dogma and not science at all. Surprisingly, it took humanity all up until 1927 with Lemaitre with his Big Bang theory.

Narrator:: No science can ever be done when in the clutches of religion. It has to be free of religion for a science to move forward.

AP:: But  the irony, oh, oh, oh the irony of the Big Bang. Yes, free of religion so that it can move forward. But the huge huge illogic of the Big Bang theory.

Narrator:: The Big Bang was humanities first science theory of the Cosmos, started in 1927 which says the Universe birth was from a explosion and all the galaxies and matter in the universe exploded and now these galaxies are moving away from the explosion center.

AP:: Yes, Cosmology now free of religion, but was it logical for a Big Bang that is the huge question, because Logic would ASK a very scientific question, the most logical scientific question of all--- what is the greatest science theory of all, of all time.

Feynman in Lectures on Physics:: I believe it is the atomic hypothesis (or the atomic fact, or whatever you wish to call it) that all things are made of atoms-- little particles that move around in perpetual motion.

Narrator:: Yes Dr. Feynman it is now called the Atomic theory and all of chemistry is based on the atomic theory.

AP:: So, then we apply Logic, if the greatest of all science theories is the Atomic Theory, then being logical, we must then demand that the Cosmology be such that the Atomic theory is front and center and that Cosmology itself must be a single big atom. That is logic.

Narrator:: Yes, if all things are composed of Atoms, the Universe is a thing, hence the Universe is one big atom.

AP:: When we do Cosmology scientifically, and the Atomic Theory is the greatest science theory, then the Cosmos itself must be a entity that creates Atoms and the future of the Cosmos is for the benefit of Atoms.

Narrator:: The chemical element [show showing the chemistry Periodic Table of Elements] that fits the special numbers of math and physics the best is the element plutonium.

AP:: The reason pi in math is 3.14159.... is because the element plutonium has 22 subshells inside of 7 shells, and the reason math has a special number called the equiangular number 2.71828..... is because only 19 of those subshells is occupied at any moment in time, hence 19/7 is this special number.

Narrator:: In future Atom Totality, the 96 Atom Totality, their pi and e numbers will be different from ours.

Narrator:: But what evidence do we have that the Cosmos is just one big atom of Plutonium?

AP:: Science is based on observation and experiments, and by late 1990s, Caltech, especially Juric and Jarrett assembled a Cosmic Mapping in which a Ring of galaxies appeared.

Narrator:: But before we get to this Ring of galaxies, we have to go back to an experiment, a famous experiment performed by Rutherford, Geiger, and Marsden in 1906-1913 called the Gold Foil Scattering Experiment, where they shot alpha particles into gold atoms and amazingly found some alpha particles bounce back at 180 degrees to the source of the alpha particles.

AP:: Sadly, Rutherford, Geiger, Marsden, Bohr were feeble in logic, so poor in logic that they misinterpreted their experiment by saying atoms have a dense nucleus of protons and neutrons, for gold has 79 protons and 118 neutrons for 197 nucleons. 

Wehr, Richards, Adair :: In "Physics of the Atom"  "showed that a nuclear model of the atom was required to explain their experiments on alpha-particles scattering"

AP:: But Rutherford, Geiger, Marsden, Bohr, Wehr, Richards, Adair, never had the benefit of studying 2 years of logic in college and university and a blind spot in observation for the speed of alpha particles into gold atoms was faster coming out than entering. 

Narrator:: What does that mean?? What does that mean, for the speed of alpha particles coming out of the gold atoms had a faster speed than going in the gold atoms???

To be Continued.....
 
-------- film addendum
So, well, NOVA's Decoding the Universe that priemered May 2024 and now repeated in May 2026 was almost 100% false in every claim.

It was mostly a advertisement stunt that Einstein is great along with other Jews, Neta Bahcall, Adam Riess, David Kaiser, presenting physics that worships at the sphincter muscle of Einstein but which has nothing but mindless illogical error after error.

At this rate of accelerated error in NOVA's May 2024 and now repeat May 2026, that Riess, Kaiser, Bahcall will want to say Einstein discovered Darwin Evolution and made it "right" that  Einstein discovered Continental Drift before Wegener and made it "right" and that Einstein created the Calculus before Newton and Liebniz and made it "right".

The world sat down to watch NOVA Decoding the Universe expecting to learn truth and science on the Cosmos, not to be propagandized with the failed physicist Einstein, no, but to be truly informed of the state of astronomy by 2026. NOVAs show is a failed show mostly because Judaism wants to portray itself as the only group of people who can do physics and astronomy so that their other agenda of stealing land from Israel's neighbors is met. "Hey, we are the only people who know astronomy and physics and so we have the right to steal your land and stitch back together the King David empire with the help of the mindless duped sucker USA which aids us in stealing Arab land of our neighbors, and especially the Trump fool.

Continuing which what would have been a true and informative NOVA show on what the Cosmos is, how it came about and where it is going.

Continuing.

AP:: Rutherford, Geiger, Marsden went into their experiment expecting to see a miniature Solar System with the Sun as a atomic nucleus, and electrons floating around this nuclear sun like planets. When you go by a model, you sometimes fall into a trap of believing the model more than the experiment says. They wanted a nucleus of atoms and thus they overlooked the fact that the speed of exiting alpha particles from gold atoms was larger than the speed entering the gold atoms. This means something inside gold atoms with more momentum than the alpha particles collided and bounced back the alpha particles with a greater speed. What was that head on collision? It was a chain of 79 muons inside a 79 proton torus that bounced the alpha particle back with greater speed.

Narrator: We can see this today in that if a small car rams head on into a large truck, then the car will bounce back with a greater speed.

AP:: When you go into a experiment expecting it to match you preconceptions, your model, then you fall victim to not observing things-- the exit speed was faster, and thus you end up with the exact opposite of the truth. Rutherford, Geiger, Marsden and Bohr concluded that Atoms have a Nucleus. When in truth, Atoms have NO Nucleus. And this is important for Cosmology.

Narrator:: Important for Cosmology, because if the structure of an Atom is a Proton Torus, muons inside doing the Faraday Law-structure.

AP:: And if the Universe is a single big atom of plutonium.

Narrator:: Then in observations we should start to see Galaxies forming Rings.

AP:: In late 1990s Cosmology had the first report of a Cosmic Ring by Caltech Juric and Jarrett.

Narrator:: But now we go to the years 2016-2017, to learn what the true electron of Atoms is.

Alright, let me try to get a correct and proper Timeline for all of Modern Astronomy on the Cosmos. Some call it Cosmology. I prefer to just call it Astronomy. I need a LOGICAL timeline of the Correct History. NOVA's show of Decoding is 99.9% awful and wrong, and is merely a publicity stunt ad for the Judaism religion.

Correct Logical History
------------------------------------

1) Greatest of all theories of science--- Atomic theory, hence, the Cosmos birth and future direction is all because of the Atomic Theory.

2) Atomic theory implies the total universe is a Single Big Atom, and plutonium fits all the special numbers in math and physics.

3) Since the Universe is just one big atom of Plutonium means our future will be to go from a Plutonium Atom Totality into a Element 96 Atom Totality, this means the most important act in the world is to nucleosynthesis Element 2 x 96 =192 for that creates the new Atom Totality. Humanity, whether they believe it or understand it is in a race with billions and trillions of advanced life forms on other planets in nucleosynthesis of Element 192 to form the newest 96 Atom Totality. Will humanity survive through the transition, I do not know.

4) We never had a "all pure science theory" of Cosmology until LeMaitre in 1927 came up with the so called Big Bang. This tells us how so much of religion had a grip on science. As one philosopher wrote in the past history--- Gods and Goddesses come and go, but the Atom Endures. All of the Big Bang, although a pure science theory is thrown out as trash, except for one item. LeMaitre called his Big Bang, the Primeval Atom. Was it a slip of the tongue for LeMaitre?? For his Primeval Atom connects up with the True Cosmology of the Universe. But the Big Bang is trash garbage for there exists no physics law structures of electromagnetism in a Big Bang. Physics is All is Atom and Atoms are nothing but Electricity and Magnetism. So LeMaitre's Big Bang still clung on to some religion in his creation of the Universe.

5) The Cosmos is a Big Single Atom and proving it has to go back to 1906-1913 for the Rutherford, Geiger, Marsden Gold Foil Scattering of Alpha Particles Experiment in England. Sadly they made a mistake and the reason AP demands all science students take Logic, 2 years of logic in College. They saw a 180 degree bounce back, which gives them the logical right to say atoms have a nucleus, as to their preconceptions of what the result would be-- a nuclear Sun surrounded by the 0.5MeV electrons as planets.

6) Terribly bad news for Rutherford, Geiger, Marsden, Bohr and all physicists after Rutherford, except for AP. For AP has a logical mind and notices that the bounced back alpha particles in the Gold Foil Experiment had a greater velocity exiting the Gold Atoms than upon entering the Gold Atoms. This logically means the alpha particles slammed head-on into 79 muons in a Gold atom proton torus which has 79 x 840 =
66360 windings or you can call them rings. So, now, AP gets the full credit of what the Structure of the inside of a Atom is made of, not Rutherford, Geiger, Marsden, Bohr, but AP is the discoverer of the true Atom Geometry, all because I have a Logical mind. Lesson: if you want to claim discovery of science truth, you need at least 2 years of college logic to help you think straight, clear, and correctly.

7) Now we jump forward in time to 2016-2017 as AP was writing a chapter on Physics Elementary Particles in his 8th edition of Plutonium Atom Totality. As I was writing this chapter I quickly saw that 9 x 105 =945. I had written several math textbooks by then and included the concept of Sigma Error. A concept unknown to nearly all mathematicians but central to all physics experiments. It means that numbers reported in physics are not exact because you are measuring something in the backdrop of all of the Universe. So that if you measure in physics the rest mass of proton you end up with 938MeV when in reality it is really 945, and you measure the rest mass of neutron at 940 MeV when if you could with exact precision it is 945MeV. This small variance is called Sigma Error in physics and if small enough, we INFER that the true rest mass of the proton and neutron is 945 MeV. But now, the big new idea, for the muon is 105MeV in sigma-error. Why would a proton and a neutron be 9 Muons???? For the Proton, it makes logical common sense that the proton is a torus of 840 MeV with a Muon as electron inside thrusting through the proton torus in the Faraday law-structure.

Unlike Old Physics of its cranks and crackpots with their electron as 0.5MeV floating around outside a ball of nuetrons and protons doing nothing of value, compared to AP's demand that every particle of physics is engaged in a Electromagnetic law-structure such as Faraday, Coulomb, Ampere, Ohm, Lenz, etc. Old Physics of the atom was nothing but tiny balls laying around on beaches sipping lemonade. AP's New Physics, demands--- you have a particle--- then what EM law structure is it engaged in.

8) Now we have to go back to 1897 with Thomson claiming his 0.5MeV particle is the Atom's electron. Is that true??? No, it is false for the true electron of atoms is the muon stuck inside a proton torus and now we have to go to Pierre Curie and Paul Dirac searching for the Magnetic Monopole for a true physicist hates Anti-symmetry found in the Maxwell Equations of 1860 where it says in Gauss's law-- no magnetic monopole. Curie and Dirac had logical brains and were convinced the magnetic monopole exists. It is sad that they never questioned whether Thomson's 0.5 MeV particle was their long sought after magnetic monopole-- the source of electric current.

9) Now we go forward in time to the decade of 1990s and see that astronomers at Caltech, Juric and Jarrett do Cosmic mapping of Galaxies. Curiosly they find a RING in 3rd layer, when they should never find a ring at all in a Big Bang baloney theory.

10) Now we go to AP in 2017 saying the true electron of Atoms is the Muon and in plutonium atom would be a proton torus of 94 x 840 =78960 windings or rings. One ring in 78960 is rather unbelievable as Proof of the Plutonium Atom Totality.

But if we do some better research, we should be able to see that the mapping of galaxies, without the stars of the Milky Way interfering. That we should be able to see there are 10 Rings of the Proton torus and one additional Ring perpendicular to the 10. In other words, proof that our Universe is 1 big gigantic Plutonium Atom Totality, growing and some far off day in the future, some life form on some planet will nucleosynthesize element 192 which will spontaneously fission into the 96 Atom Totality. I do not know if Earth humanity will live through that.

ALL IS ATOM AND ATOMS ARE NOTHING BUT ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM.

ATOM!!!

Timeline of true physics of Cosmology


1)  550 BC, around 2600 years ago, 100 years before the Atomic Theory, Thales of Miletus starts the subject of Physics by experimenting with Lodestone magnets, iron nails, rubbed amber and paper equivalents. Which was resolved by Saint Augustine in 400 AD that the forces of lodestone was different than rubbed amber. What Thales had started was physics of electricity and magnetism. A proper understanding of Cosmology by 2026 will have to include electricity and magnetism.


2) In Ancient Greek time, Leucippus and Democritus circa 2500 years ago, 450 BC, found the Atomic theory and atomos means last cut. Logically fitting to name something that cannot be further divided. And the Atomic theory the most important theory in all of science for it is all of chemistry. A proper understanding of Cosmology by 2026 will have to include in a big way, why the Atomic theory is the greatest theory of science.

A person with a logical brain would instantly know if the Atomic theory is the greatest theory, that the Atomic theory is the center and the heart of the science Cosmology.

3) 1803 John Dalton would found the modern Atomic theory, paving the way for the Periodic Table of Chemical elements. And that plutonium would be the 94th element.

4) 1831 Michael Faraday, thrusting a bar magnet through a coil of copper wire produces electric current; would discover the Faraday law-structure. For the 1830s was a time period in which many electromagnetic law-structures had been discovered-- Coulomb, Ohm, Ampere, Oersted. Slowly but surely the greatest physics force -- electricity and magnetism was being understood.

5) 1864 James Clerk Maxwell unifies electricity with magnetism in a set of equations. He even analyzed that the Rings of Saturn were ice particles and knew that ice was not electrically neutral. We have to go back and research whether Maxwell knew that the Rings of Saturn was a Solid Body Rotation in our solar system. And also, whether Maxwell knew the Asteroid belt was composed of mostly iron bodies with magnetism and if the asteroid belt was partial-solid-body-rotation. So that, even, our Solar System has 2 examples of partial solid body rotation.

6) 1970 Hannes Alfven, sharp in plasma physics the electromagnetic physics and summed up Cosmology as all is the study of electricity and magnetism. However, ever since 1864 with the Maxwell Equations, few physicists were ever comfortable with the Maxwell Equations and were rather dumb in those equations, never understanding them and unable to even do calculations. And these dumb physicists would often go into astronomy, cosmology, anywhere where they did not have to apply the Maxwell Equations because they never understand that sort of mathematics. These dumb physicists would invent General Relativity, Big Bang, Black holes, Dark Matter, Dark Energy for they were dumb and stupid forever about electromagnetism for the math was above their heads.

7) 1975 Vera Rubin announces the galaxies such as Andromeda has solid-body-rotation of their stars. However, Vera was not knowledgeable of electrodynamics, or the Maxwell equations and goes on to make advertisement for anti-science physicists of stupid dark matter, dark energy, even Big Bang and black holes. All Vera really had to do, was simply say-- Cosmology is ruled by electricity and magnetism, 10^38 stronger of a force than gravity. And that galaxy star speed rotation is solid body like a vinyl record players because the Cosmic force is electricity and magnetism. But no, over 90% of physicists are terrified by the Maxwell Equations and cannot think in terms of electricity and magnetism and run and hide into stupid pseudo physics of General Relativity and Big Bang, black holes, dark matter, dark energy.

8) 1990, Archimedes Plutonium would discover that the Cosmos has to be a single big atom, namely a Plutonium Atom Totality from logical reasoning alone--- you cannot have a Atomic theory that all matter is made up of atoms and leave out the entirety of the Cosmos, for then the Atomic theory is no longer a theory but a rule that works most of the time but not all the time.

9) 2003 Caltech Jarrett Mapping of Large Scale Structure ned.ipac. caltech. edu; finds a "RING of galaxies in 3rd layer.

10) 2016-2017, Archimedes Plutonium starts to write a chapter on Elementary Particles of Physics and notices 9 x 105 = 945 and sees that proton at 938MeV, neutron at 940MeV and muon at 105MeV, quickly realizes those are within Sigma Error. Meaning what? Meaning that Atoms have __no nucleus__ but have a proton at 840 MeV with a muon inside doing the Faraday law-structure. Realizing also, that Sun and stars shine not from fusion, only about 5% yet the majority of star shine 95% comes from the Faraday law structure of muons in atoms thrusting through the proton torus. Realizing also, that the muon is the true electron of atoms and the 0.5 MeV particle is the magnetic monopole that Pierre Curie and Dirac were searching for. AP then goes back to look up how on Earth did Rutherford, Geiger, Marsden screw up in their 1906-1913 alpha particle scattering experiment to get the exact opposite answer of what they should get--- Atoms have no nucleus? Easy answer-- they did not have the logical brains to observe the exit alpha particles at 180 degrees had a faster speed than upon entrance of the gold atoms. They wanted to believe the answer was a Solar nucleus with electrons as planets, but their experiment told them otherwise.

11) 2021, AP writes the 9th edition of Plutonium Atom Totality with the discovery of the Cosmic Proton would have 94 x 840 = 78960 windings or rings, the Cosmic Muons would be a chain of 94 muons thrusting through the Cosmic Proton as in the Faraday law-structure. AP is aware of Caltech's Jarrett mapping of galaxies with a RING found in 3rd layer. Is that Ring part of the Cosmic Proton, or of the Cosmic Muons, or of the Cosmic Neutrons as parallel plate capacitors.

12) 2026, AP calculates that once a proper distance measure to galaxies is utilized that we will see not just 1 ring but 10 rings and the muon ring inside will make it 11 rings. The 1 ring found in 2003 is enough to destroy the Big Bang nonsense. But finding 11 rings is absolute proof that universe is a Plutonium Atom Totality. The NOVA tv show showing Adam Riess making mostly just a propaganda ad for Einstein is a disgrace of the science of Cosmology. Einstein was a physics failure of the 20th century, for he spent 30 years trying to unify the 4 forces, failed and gave up, and then turned his stupid illogical mind on solving gravity with his General Relativity. If the fool Einstein had taken logic in school, he might have realized this--- If you fail at solving the unification of the 4 forces, then, surely, you cannot be solving what gravity is in General Relativity, for you first must have a unification of gravity to EM force.

And, in this NOVA program with Adam Riess lead spokesman, he too shows much ignorance and illogic of thought. All his life, Adam has thought that stars and Sun shine from fusion, never once thinking that stars shine from the Faraday law-structure going on inside each atom that resides in our Sun. So the question is for Adam Riess, is it possible to know the distance to stars or galaxies such as the type Ia supernova when the fool does not even know how stars shine in the first place?? Einstein was a physics failure because he spent 30 years trying to unify 4 forces and failed but then illogically thought he could tell what gravity was in General Relativity. Adam Riess was a physics failure because he did not even know that stars shine from Faraday law-structure, but then goes on to say he knows the distance to stars and galaxies from supernova explosions.

AP says-- we must now realize that stars shine from Faraday law-structure and so we can, for the first time, have a True Distance Measure to any star or galaxy. For the Luminosity is directly proportional to distance. And that star evolution is directly proportional to mass of the star because all stars keep growing bigger because all stars grow by the Faraday law-structure.

Once we apply this correct distance measure to Caltech's Large Scale Structure of Cosmology, we should see 10 RINGS of the Cosmic Proton Torus and 1 RING of the Cosmic Muon.

This is May 2026, and every person in Physics needs to ask him/her a question, a most important question. Even those in astronomy should ask this same question.

Are you comfortable with the Maxwell Equations, give or take Gauss's law which is false for magnetic monopoles do exist.

Essentially, I am asking if you can do the Maxwell Equations, in computation and in theory and not feel at all a discomfort?

If the Maxwell Equations are hard on you, give you discomfort, then you are not a physicist and should find a career elsewhere.

The heart of physics is electricity and magnetism and so a physicist does not feel difficulty in doing the math of electricity and magnetism.

In my opinion, 95% of the people who have a degree in physics are not physicists for they find electricity and magnetism as hard and difficult.

In the tv show NOVA Decoding the Universe, it is my opinion that Neta Bahcall, David Kaiser and that Adam Riess, Saul Perlmutter, Brian Schmidt for accelerating expansion of universe via distant supernova, are failures of physics for they believe in General Relativity which cannot even explain why the Earth orbits around the Sun.

AP explains why Earth orbits the Sun:: Sun creates a Magnetic field track called the ecliptic, which has at least 9 tracks allowing for 9 planets to orbit in that track. As the Sun shoots electric field currents aft of Earth, pushing Earth in orbit and simultaneously shoots a electric potential difference fore of the planet pulling Earth in that same magnetic field track.

 Compare that with the stupid Einstein General Relativity:: Sun bends spacetime and Earth follows in the curvature of this bent space.

A High School student would ask Einstein or Adam Riess--- how does bending space push or pull the planet in its orbit??? One can imagine that a magnetic pull of the Sun towards the Sun would cause an orbit. 

You see, AP explanation of Earth orbit has actual force doing the push and pull of Earth, while General Relativity is no more than a fanciful foolish description, a description that goes well for so called physicists who are uncomfortable whenever the Maxwell Equations are focused upon.

So, I saw the Faraday law-structure when in College and saw the thrusting of bar magnet through the Coil of Copper wire. As shown below.

And we can sort of see that 1 Winding of the copper wire would be 1 RING of galaxies in 3rd layer as mapped by Caltech's Jarrett.

Is the cosmic Ring of galaxies part of the Cosmic Proton of Plutonium Atom Totality, or the Cosmic Muon inside the Cosmic Proton? Or is the cosmic ring of galaxies part of the Cosmic Neutrons as parallel plate capacitor?

--- quoting Wikipedia on Faraday law-structure ---

Alternating electric current flows through the solenoid on the left, producing a changing magnetic field. This field causes, by electromagnetic induction, an electric current to flow in the wire loop on the right.

Electromagnetic induction or magnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force (emf) across an electrical conductorin a changing magnetic field.

Michael Faraday is generally credited with the discovery of induction in 1831, and James Clerk Maxwellmathematically described it as Faraday's law of inductionLenz's law describes the direction of the induced field. Faraday's law was later generalized to become the Maxwell–Faraday equation, one of the four Maxwell equations in his theory of electromagnetism.

Below I quote the Jarrett, Caltech's mapping of galaxies showing a ring in 3rd layer.

Compare that ring with the windings of the copper wire in the Faraday law structure.

The Cosmic Web - Figure 1 beautifully unveils the background extragalactic sky from the obscuring foreground Milky Way. Galaxies are color-coded by their inferred redshift (or distance from the Sun), thereby providing depth to the surface distribution of galaxies. Large-scale structures are clearly discerned, from the Local Supercluster (Virgo/Hydra/Centaurus) to the Perseus-Pisces (P-P) and Pavo-Indus (P-I) superclusters. (Figure 2, a key to the large scale structures). Probing orthogonal to this 3-D surface reveals the redshift distibution along the line of sight; an example is shown in Figure 10 for the Shapley Concentration (discussed below).


Figure 10

Figure 10. Redshift slice of the Shapley Concentration region, extending to the limit of the 2MASS galaxy catalog, z ~ 0.1 (400 Mpc). The equatorial RA slice is 90 deg between a declination boundary of -36.5° < Dec < -26.5°. The points are color-coded by redshift (see Figure 1). The "finger of god" radial velocity artifacts trace galaxy clusters, including Abell 3558 (center, yellow). The Hydra-Cen supercluster is foreground (blue fingers) to the Shapley Concentration.

As seen in Figure 1, a continuous chain of structures seems to wrap around Hydra/Virgo, up to Coma to the north, through Hercules to the east, down through P-P and around to P-I to the west, then extending up through the ZoA into the Shapley concentration. This is more easily seen when each redshift layer is shown separately; Figure 11
