The recent Solar Maximum gives us a wonderful opportunity to observe the Sun in
action. Borderland Sciences has been investigating the relationship of the Sun
and human behaviour for many years, and we are quite confident that we can
predict behaviours based on sunspot fluctuations over very short and long
durations within the Solar Cycle of 11 years. Historically, research has been
conducted to link the 11 year cycle of the sun to changes in human behavior and
society. The most famous research had been done by professor A.L. Tchijevsky, a
Russian scientist, who presented a paper to the American Meteorological Society
at Philadelphia in the late 19th century. He prepared a study of the history of
mass human movement compared to the solar cycle, beginning with the division of
the Solar cycle into four parts: 1) Minimum sunspot activity; 2) increasing
sunspot activity; 3) maximum sunspot activity; 4) Decreasing sunspot activity.
He then divided up the agitation of mass human movements into five phases:
1) provoking influence of leaders upon masses
2) the "exciting" effect of emphasized ideas upon the masses
3) the velocity of incitability due to the presence of a single psychic center
4) the extensive areas covered by mass movements
5) Integration and individualization of the masses
By these comparisons he constructed an "Index of Mass Human Excitability"
covering each year from 500 B.C. to 1922 A.D. He investigated the histories of
72 countries in that period, noting signs of human unrest such as wars,
revolutions, riots, expeditions and migrations, plus the number of humans
involved. Tchijevsky found that fully 80% of the most significant events
occurred during the years of maximum sunspot activity. He maintained that the
"exciting" period may be explained by an acute change in the nervous and psychic
character of humanity, which takes place at sunspot maxima.
Tchijevsky discovered that the solar minimum is the lag period when repression
is tolerated by the masses, as if they lacked the vital energy to make the
needed changes. He found that during the sunspot maximum, the movement of humans
is also at its peak. Tchijevsky's study is the foundation of sunspot theory on
human behavior, and as Harlan True Stetson, in his book Sunspots and Their
Effects (available from BSRF), stated, ?Until, however, someone can arrive at a
more convincing excitability quotient for mass movements than professor
Tchijevsky appears yet to have done, scientists will be reluctant to subscribe
to all the conclusions which he sets forth.? Stetson did acknowledge that the
mechanism by which ultraviolet radiation is absorbed was still a puzzle
biologists had to solve.
The mechanism behind the stimulation of human behavior is still a mystery, but
the theories of Georges Lakhovsky may shed some light. He considered his book,
The Secret of Life (reprinted by BSRF), the extension of a scientific hypothesis
of a new theory of life. The Sun is one of Earth?s primary sources of cosmic
radiation. While the Sun does produce its own radiations, solar winds actually
capture passing cosmic dust and radiation and blow it into the earth?s
atmosphere. While it may seem frightening to some, this can actually be
considered the Primal Vibration that sets the cells vibrating with Vital Force.
This is the Prana, that Cosmic Breath, which is meant to vitalize man, and is
the source for our evolution.
Dr. George Crile, a distinguished American surgeon, studied the sun in light of
its radiant energy. In the ?Preliminary Remarks? to Lakhovsky?s The Secret of
Life, Professor d?Arsonval quotes Crile: ?It is clear that radiation produces
the electrical current which operates adaptively the organism as a whole,
producing memory, reason, imagination, emotion, the special senses, secretions,
muscular action, the response to infection, normal growth, and the growth of
benign tumours and cancers, all of which are governed adaptively by the electric
charges that are generated by the short wave or ionizing radiation in
protoplasm.?
He felt that the entire energy system of living beings is controlled by radiant
energy and electrical forces. D?Arsonval points out that Lakhovsky and Crile
found that living cells are electrical cells functioning as system of
generators, inductance lines, and insulators. The underlying mechanism is the
oscillating circuit. An oscillating circuit is a circuit containing inductance
and capacity, which when supplied energy from an external source, is set in
electrical vibration and oscillates at its natural frequency. D?Arsonval
explains further that a conductor is said to possess inductance if a current
flowing through it causes a magnetic field to be set up round it. The capacity
of a condenser of an isolated body is a measure of the charge of the quantity of
electricity it is capable of storing. From such a circuit, energy is readily
given off in the form of waves. According to Lakhovsky, the nucleus of a living
cell may be compared to an electrical oscillating circuit. The nucleus consists
of tubular filaments, chromosomes, mitochondria, made up of insulating material
and filled with a conducting fluid containing all the mineral salts found in sea
water. These filaments are thus comparable to oscillating circuits endowed with
capacity according to a specific frequency.
The cosmic radiation from the Sun is a blessing of Vital Force. As Lakhovsky has
postulated, it is the cosmic radiations that give the cells their vibrant
oscillations. While the sunspot maxima is occurring, the solar flares and the
subsequent geo-magnetic reactions effect the many subtle reactions that take
place within our bodies at the atomic level. It has been theorized that this has
a direct relationship to the metabolism of the body. We know it is the subtle
magnetism of positive and negative charges that pulls certain particles across
membranes in cells to produce energy. These magnetic exchanges result in the
stimulation of enzymes and the production of energy like ATP. The increase of
penetrating waves during a solar storm causes an excitation in these
electro-chemical reactions within the body. Tchijevsky also identified
correlations between changes in solar magnetic activity with biological
processes. In light of Lakhovsky?s theory in his own words, ??with the aid of
elementary analogies, that the cell, essential organic unit in all living
beings, is nothing but an electromagnetic resonator, capable of emitting and
absorbing radiations of very high frequency.? A plausible mechanism is provided
to understanding the stimulating effects the radiation from the Sun has on human
behavior. In an abstract entitled ?Automated Experiment on Macro-fluctuation
Monitoring? Bruns A.V.& Visolimsky B.M. also find a close relationship with the
solar activity and bio-chemical reactions. ?Phenomenologically obtained data
could be treated like an effect of the surface (controlled by solar activity) on
the physico-chemical kinetics. This effect was realized, evidently through the
mechanisms close to nuclear magnetic resonance in geomagnetic field.? In another
historical study Suitbert Ertel writes in his article ?Synchronous Bursts of
Activity in Independent Cultures; Evidence for Extraterrestrial Connections?
that evidence has been reported suggesting a link between historical
oscillations of scientific creativity and solar cyclic variation. Eddy?s
discovery of abnormal secular periods of solar inactivity (Maunders minimum
type) offered the opportunity to put the present hypothesis to a crucial test.
Using time series of flourish years of creators in science, literature, and
painting (A.D. 600-1800) It was found as expected:
1) Cultural flourish curves show marked discontinuities (bursts) after the onset
of secular solar excursions synchronously in Europe and China;
2) during periods of extended solar excursions, bursts of creativity in
painting, literature, and science succeeded one another with lags of about 10-15
years;
3) The reported regularities of cultural output are prominent throughout with
eminent creators. They decrease with ordinary professionals. The hypothesized
extraterrestrial connection of human culture has thus been strengthened.
The evidence seems to show that during the maxima of sunspot activity human
behavior is stimulated.
There is some Russian research that shows an increase in cardiac problems during
sunspot maxima. The solar activity probably sets off a preexisting condition and
no one is suggesting that people will drop dead in the streets. We could see the
stress of solar activity on the biology of living things as an evolutionary
agent weeding out the old and sick and strengthening those who can resonate with
its radiations. In his ?Preliminary remarks to Lakhovsky?s The Secret of Life
the Professor d?Arsonval gives several examples of research done in the last
hundred years that shows the most malefic effects from solar activity come at
the sunspot minima. He notes from the British Medical Journal, March 7th & 14th
of 1936 that both Colonel C.A. Gill and Dr. Conyers Morrel found increases in
pandemics of deadly diseases during the period of minimal sunspot activity. In
Gill?s study he showed that every pandemic of malaria since sunspot records were
taken had occurred when sunspot numbers were lowest. Similar trends were
observed in East Africa and elsewhere with Yellow fever epidemics since 1800
occur during the sunspot minima. Dr. Conyers Morrel also finds that, ?...waves
of epidemic diseases covering considerable periods exhibit a very close
correspondence with the phases of sunspot periods. Diphtheria, Typhus, and
Dysentery seemed to prosper when there was an absence of solar activity. We also
see an increase in disease in Solco W. Tromp?s study. Without the stimulation
from the Sun human health seems to diminish. The immune system seems to grow
unresponsive during the solar lull and diseases can more easily gain a foothold
in the body. Not only human health but Life itself seems hampered by the lack of
solar activity. William Hershel wrote in 1801, ?It seems probable analyzing the
period between 1650 and 1713, and judging by the normal yields of wheat, that a
scarcity of vegetation occurred whenever the sun appeared to be free from
spots.? The depressed state of metabolism and lack of food in agricultural
centers may have seemed very inviting to the Mongols. Goncharov, in an abstract
on the ?Asian Nomadic Invasions and Solar Cycles?, aid, ?From the 4th to the
16th centuries the Central Asian Steepe was the cradle of the series of great
nomadic tribal invasions into agricultural regions of Europe, China, and South
Asia. Those invasions had similar features. They arose in middle latitudes and
recurred every 160-220 years ? exactly after solar abatements.?
