Geological Formative Age Pent Up Water



During another era in geological history, the permeability of the crust seems to have been more conducive to the flow of subterranean aquifers to the surface. Or something like that. Either that or something else like the venting of aquifers by geyser-like activity in the age when hotspots in the crust were more than common, they were prolific.

Now it is as if the crust, more aged, and due to seismic activity from such things as lunar stress, reveals a more sealed, less permeable surface so that extreme phenomena now persist like the ocean of potable fossil water beneath north Africa and the mile-deep underground river flowing from New Zealand underneath Australia.

One must assume, then, that there are myriad of these; I'm almost sure there are thousands if not millions of these rivers and many more oceans beneath the earth's surface probably with life, such as the obstensive Loch Ness Plesiosaur.  It's as if the lithosphere had a circulatory system like a multi-organism with a dominant percentage water: but in Litho Baby, it's pure fossil fresh potable water.

So now what? Well, along comes man, the digger of wells and all's well that ends with wells. But not so easy. Humankind is a coin: Bright side and Shadyside.

The dark side of the coin is laziness. Most people just really hate to think. You know? Be honest. As soon as they figure something out, up goes the infrastructure and from then on off goes the brain into idle mode and it's nothing more than life as usual, happily ever after, and till death do they part.

Not all oceans are pent-up in the lithosphere. Have you ever heard of a great Lake called Lake Coca Cola? And Lake Pepsi Cola? Not to mention the small oceans of spring water, and now even distilled and municipal water.  All in cute little aluminum or plastic cellular units, in aquifers not under ground, but right on the surface known as premisees (plural of a quasi-geoligic colloquialism, "premises").  Even though it probably can't be measured, humankind figured how to handle their little vendible drinkies conveniently, and there is where their fairytale ends. No more thought.

That's right, Bunkie. The well diggers are outnumbered by lazy brains in idle mode doing a crime called business as usual. They know deserts are growing, but they figure that's nature, and in their minds, humans are not a part of nature and the lame excuse, "don't interfere", is what they say. That's a joke nobody will laugh at. What a bomb.

Well, we have two vital subjects going here, one deals with recoverable water pent-up by the lithosphere, the other topic I wanted discuss here deals with a huge and ever-increasing volume of pent-up water and also innumerable drinks in nondegradable plastic containers or bottles -- a vast amount of water increasing in a geometric progression at an alarming rate heretofore, as far as I can tell, virtually unnoticed and that second huge volume of water is pent-up by the "retailosphere", an almost unattainable part of the Earth, even, in a way, by the ultra rich themselves. The only way for a reasoning cosmos to free up that pent-up water is to literally melt the entire planet down.

In the meantime, an extremely huge volume of water flows underground. It should be enough for several times the existent population of all water-using life in the biosphere. It's as if, at this juncture of time, all life was dependent on man to get off his beastly bottom and do something about resupplying the biosphere with the adequate water supply it so vitally needs. And that is a highly conservative estimate. I discussed this phenomenon in my article "The Rehydration of the Ort Cloud". Recent discoveries in the composition of ice formations in the extreme portions of the solar system tend to corroborate this.

When asked sometime back in the 80's if he was going to tap into the huge underground ocean beneath the desert regions of Libya, President Gadhafi replied that he wouldn't, and he cited erroneous scientific views at the time, much to the misfortune of Libya, which could have been an ultra extremely prosperous nation by now (you can't rely on oil revenues for ever), it could have been by now the wheat basket and rice bowl of Africa and the Middle East, and that's just for openers. The misinformation the self-righteous institutionalist excuses-for-scientists handed the unsuspecting President, who apparently trusted their expertise, was that it was a nonrenewable resource.

Here's where the science of geology earns its spurs. The true geologist is able to calculate the difference between renewable and unrenewable. Why geologists?  If it's underground, it's their department; their problem is they seem to have been fixated on solid rock or even magma, or liquid rock. 

And, while it's hard to gauge what's going on so far down beneath any eyesight or measurement, even a wildcat oil driller should be able to tell you the difference between a stagnant subterranean ocean and a flowing one. What we need to establish in this new science is, is it a "given" that certain discernible large bodies of underground water are in motion, or fossil water in "resupply" -- or are they stagnant reservoirs of fossil water that are unrenewable?

There was a situation in Texas sometime in the mid 20th century, when they tapped into a large underground reservoir that was unrenewable. In that case a very large volume of water was used for irrigation and other purposes, and the space made by the void of the water removed underground began to collapse. It's as I always say, "water you talking about"!

If you look at the surface features of the Arizona and Texas region, you'll see that it is in the rain shadow of the Rocky Mountains, and therefore is most probably fed by rainfall, which would be over a large progression of time.   It's a  monsoonal rain flow in a dry region, or in a rain shadow.

But north Africa is fed by the African rivers , which disappear into the sand. It is possible to estimate the flow of the waddi or disappearing river phenomenon, especially now that we have satellites that can observe from a distance and can use radar to see below sand. But we're only touching the tip of the iceberg here, and, dang, that iceberg is a stingy tipper.

To go back to my reference to the article, "the Rehydration of the Ort Cloud",  this phenomenon seems to have happened to both the Earth and Mars, based on recent discoveries of the existence of water on Mars, which since has seemed to have disappeared, corroborating the postulation of subsurface-lithotic-hydrous-retention. 

I mean, come on , folks!  It's a big cosmos out there.  Wake up, switch off the entertainment Center, put away the missing links phantoms and hoaxes of the Pliestocene and Ologocene eras, toss the hundred-year-old theories in the shredder, and start doing some useful science for a change.  Let the other 50 million scientists keep searching for the billion-dollar Golden BB, such as the cure for cancer, there are enough good guys on that project.  Let's get out there and do something a little more productive, like the total prosperity of a desperate planet Earth, and maybe even the safe colonization of Mars by humans and flora and fauna.

Humankind really is an integral part of life in the biosphere of the planet Earth.  You have to watch out for these don't-interfere guys. Like the green pizza with their death symbol.  I smell an ulterrior motive with that group. And you can smell that stench 100 miles away. Like a love-hate relationship with nature, with hate being the subterfugenal motive and the love being the PR cover-up.

It's not in what they say it's in what they do.  In my many travels over the past three decades around the planet Earth, I've noticed many disappointing aspects in the behavior of humankind -- that's right, us.  Also in the rest of the animal kingdom, but they have an excuse.  After all, they're traumatized because they don't have human beings to care for them, as the human beings were supposed be doing, instead of hiding out in these death-trap cities.  Or screaming "leave nature alone" so they could really slink out of the job.  Maybe they just didn't get it.  I admit it takes some effort to catch on.

It may seem like I'm excluding myself from the blame here.  But I, like others, just didn't get it at first.  We saw the growing deserts, we read about it in science class in high school, we learned that many deserts of the were actually created by man through such things as overgrazing of the wrong kind of livestock, deforestation, and many other things. We saw the specials on TV; the documentaries and so forth. And we tended to "blow it off", as everyone else did; join the crowd, be part of the heard, participate in the oblivion. Also when I began to see in the stores the availability of drinks of all types, and also water, bottled up in plastic containers, my only impression was "how convenient".

But finally after all my travels, through areas made increasingly dry, as investigation eventually revealed, at the hand of humans, I began to realize that it was also at the hand of humans that the problem could be solved. It's going to take human beings to dig the wells and it's going to also take human hands to open the bottles, restore the water, and recycle the containers. It's also going to take mucho research to find out how to return the elements in the plastic back to the natural world.

Oh yeah, but you want to be one at the wealthy.  You want to be one of those rich scientists, don't you?  You want to be a yuppie rich-guy scientist losing removable hard drives, CDs, and who knows what else at good old Los Alamos, or hiding out in Jet Propulsion basking in the shadow of your bought-off degree, un-noticed somewhere in the crowd, analyzing the chalk dust from Einstein's blackboard.

Well, I want to tell you something, Mr. atoms, if it weren't for some these poor scientists, altruistically motivated throughout history to the present, like Pierre and Marie Curie so long ago and many others, you'd probably be out of a job, wise guy.  Join the crowd with the rest of us in our little one-room rented apartments and make some discoveries for a while.  What's the matter?  Afraid the scientific journal rags are going to nail you with their good little conflict-of-interest button?  Afraid to get financing for some science for a change?  Tell the institutionalists to get out of your face, get out there and do the real thing.

If you're one of those boys who hocked his future for a master's degree, I'm sorry, son.  We'll read about you in some also-ran journal somewhere. Most of the great scientists of history never have the blessing of the institutionalists.  But if you're some kid out there, maybe in the developing world, and you ain't got a chance of a snowball in hell of getting into any college, don't let that stop you.

How about that? You don't even need a bachelor's degree to make a breakthrough. Anybody with some real ideas is never going to impress those deadheads anyway. While they're out there playing with their cyclotrons and their other toys, and tricking the rich guys into subsidizing their chalkboard tic tac toe, you'll be out there making some real discoveries while they're in their tomorrowland theme parks deluding themselves.

I mean it, kid. Those guys have neutralized science for over a hundred years. The real science was done in spite of them, and darn little of it. Leave them alone; let them go ahead and have their mass meetings on how to discover a thousand new ways to make plastic. You go on out there, kid, and do some real science, and you'll find out there is a universe of discovery right there in front of your nose once they get out of your face.
