Physics could be behind the secrets

[Von Bismarck]

In this month's edition of Physics World, Richard Taylor, director of the Materials Science Institute at the University of Oregon, takes a serious, objective look at a topic that critics might claim is beyond scientific understanding – crop circles.

As the global crop-circle phenomenon grows alongside advances in science and technology, Taylor notes how physics and the arts are coming together to produce more impressive and spectacular crop-circle patterns that still manage to maintain their mystery.

Physics could be behind the secrets of crop-circle artists

I thought it was mathematics.

[Von Bismarck]

UFO fanatics clinging to the belief that extra-terrestrials are responsible for crop circles sometimes like to echo the X Files catchphrase: ‘The truth is out there.’

But, as it turns out, the answer might actually be much closer to home - inside your kitchen in fact.

Because, for example, this 200ft image of a pipe-smoking alien – carved into a Wiltshire field – could have been created using an ordinary microwave oven, according to scientists.

Now even ET is making crop circles (with a little help from GPS and MICROWAVES)

Here we go with more bs. Microwaves, the theory started by Levengood, perpetuated by BLT, and proven wrong by Collin Andrews, Francesco Grassi, myself, and anyone who makes a crop circle and studies it. Microwaves do not cause the nodes to explode, or the stems to bend. Atleast they're closer to the truth that it's man made, but they're far off on what tools circlemakers use. lol

Yeah, a wooden board and some rope. lol

[Anotheryahoo]

Here we go again, Aliens dont write and draw patterns in cornfields because they have nothing else to do. Man is the one writing and making spyrogyo's in fields.

Now Ufo's have been observed crushing the and burning the area where landed. Those are landing impressions. These are the ones to be studied. Everything else is hoaxers.

Assuming it's not aliens, demonic or men with boards and ropes, and further assuming that it's caused by microwave radiation or lasers, obviously under intelligent control, then let the scientists reproduce the phenomenon. After all they are quite familiar with lasers and microwaves and can grow crops to play with.

These are pretty intricate designs, claimed by some to use "new" geometry or have unique mathematical properties, formed overnight perhaps in total darkness. Don't know who or what has created them, but sometimes the simplest answer is the most logical: they are probably manmade. If not then they have to be the work of an intelligence, since these are not random patterns, or even patterns seen in the natural world. That some "energy vortex" produces these works of art is laughable. So if not man, then aliens or extra-dimensional (i.e. spiritual) beings would seem to be the explanation. Could be a government program also, so see how the population reacts to the unknown, however like Ben Franklin said, "Three can keep a secret if two are dead," so that seems unlikely as well.

Is is amazing in a country like Britain where cameras are watching everyone all the time that cameras have not been set up to catch the circle makers, after all, this is damage to property and the livelihood of the farmers and one would think the government would be curious that something like this can go on for so long with no explanation.

What about this ???

I wonder how many people have actually looked underneath the crop circles.. I have heard that they have found what is known as the legendary "White Powdered Gold" in crop circles..

[crystal sage]

Looking up White Powdered Gold.. and crop circles.. came across this..

What do you think? I've read about several things mentioned here.. grains of truth.. or the thread that ties it together?

White Powder Gold has been tested by the Department of Materials Characterization at a prominent English University, and Sir Laurence Gardner deserves all the credit we can give him for his generosity. He is not only an author and historian without equal, he is a fine gentleman. The test results show that white powder gold is not totally unique. It can be found as a residue at crop circles, and it has been collected by NASA astronauts as Stardust, at the ratio of 1 per 10,000 particles. White powder gold is "astonishingly" similar to David Hudson`s ormus, with minor differences attributable to the primary PGM used to produce it

I read once that the sea is a good source of White Powdered Gold..

Absolutely absurd! There is overwhelming evidence to show that crop circles are created by men, and no evidence to indicate that they are created by microwaves,vortexes or any other mysterious phenomenon.

The theory that the circles were created by extra-terrestrials in UFO's is preposterous.

Let's say, for the sake of argument, that these technologically superior beings traveled light years across the universe to impart some important message of impending apocalypse. What method do these super intelligent beings choose to deliver this message? Of course, they imprint some ambiguous design into the vegetation, which will wither and disappear in a matter of months. Brilliant!!!

The whole notion is absolutely ridiculous, yet some seemingly intelligent people hang onto it as if their lives depended on it.

Perhaps they feel empowered believing that these so called superior beings would pay so much attention to our little planet.

Apparently some of us still believe that the Earth is the center of the universe.

Crops circles are up there with chemtrails and bigfoot. The domain of the flake.

Sorry i cannot take this particular facet of UFOlogy seriously in any way.

[Golden Duck]

"White powdered gold"???

I didn't look at videos, but are you talking about philosophers stone?
