If you’ve come this far you have already set foot on the eternal road of infinite study.
It is not arrogance or hubris to claim that “We know” it is the truth. Of course there are still mysteries and many things in Universe to explore and study , there always will be. We can never know everything and our knowledge is limited to the senses and reality in which we live. However our forebears pulled back much of the curtain of mystery and in their footsteps we shall begin our travels.

The Chronicle of Planet X – part 1
by Ordono Mundi on Jan.29, 2010, under Chonicles of Planet X
Imagine A long way ago, before we werent here. imagine A solar system much like ours with 3 planets orbiting its sun. except here each planet orbits their star – Tritos, at the same distance , like electrons going round an atom, the planets equally spaced apart sail thro the same space at different times …
Each planet is home to a bounty of life and a human like civilization. For millions of years evolution played out its symphony on these planets. On Exor pre industrial tribes of natives , raised great works in stone across the planet, harnessing its magnetic resonance to connect their tribes across the globe , assisting navigators sailing the great oceans, binding the Rogan people together in song and dance at each astronomical event of their calendar.
To Yuwa – where science is taking hold and early industry foul and smoking lifts some of the Tula people from toil , while yoking others to its wheels, where knowledge of the stars and laws of physics has replaced ancient ways and lost arts.
and Zynaz – where science and religious zealotry are combined ,its people assured by their rulers that they live on Gods chosen planet ,here they pursue knowledge for power, the most advanced of the civilizations, the Zool industrialized long ago here , science serves an elite priesthood whos grip on its inhabitants the Zewl , like their desire to survive is total…
Uninterrupted these planets would continue for millenia, their destiny unfolding with slow turns of histories pages, where it not for chaos , gravity and a large comet drawn inexorably to their sun. The comet s passing is observed by sky watchers on each planet as it burns through the day and night. its tail growing ever larger , then shrinking until finally the sun swallows it silently completely..
On Exor at the comets appearance Rogan Elders pronounced it a sign of good fortune, Their religious beliefs held that universe is a great sea through which sail all manner of life on an endless voyage , the comet it was said was a ship of fire returning to its stellar home after an epic voyage thro the cosmos. Celebrations were held in its honour , songs sung, poems written and great carvings hewn into sacred mountains to mark its final journey., once gone the Rogan people returned to their lives and gave it little thought., only the Elders pursued its real meaning . retreating into tunnels each night to stare at the stars passing across their view , tracing the orbits of Zynaz and Yewa as they crossed constellations in the night sky and marking the rising and setting of the sun. With each night the stars revealed the unforgiving tale of the comet..things had changed how much could not yet be seen..
On Yuwa scientists welcomed the appearance of the comet , flinging themselves with enthusiasm into calculations and observations , using newly discovered principals of mathematics , training their latest telescopes upon it, great names of science staked their reputations on competing calculations, some saying one thing some another. Religious leaders keen to reclaim influence since science had stripped them of credibility, proclaimed it the end of the world, a judgment on evil new ways, an apocalypse from which only the true believer would be saved, by returning to the worship of God and renouncing the works of knowledge and science. Many Toola still believed in the old Gods and listened fearfully to the priests. Politicians urged calm and pronounced that what ever the outcome reason and knowledge would save them if not the hand of god…
On Zynaz the priesthood twisted ancient prophecies to meet their own ends proclaiming the comet a herald of their ultimate victory in the quest to conquer Exor and Yuwa . The Zewl rulers having consumed much of their own planets resources in technological progress, had long promised the suffering of its people would be rewarded. Zynaz , heavily overpopulated and straining at the end of centuries of massive industrialisation, eyed its neighbors unspoiled oceans and continents with envy .God they said made all the planets for them , and one day with his help great ships would sail from Zynaz to the promised lands, There Gods chosen people would rule forever creating heaven on earth as the prophecies had siad…yet quietly in their greatest observatories and inner sanctums the priests gathered to process their observations on huge mechanical computers…
The consequences of the Comets passing were realised by differing means on each planet.
High on a mountian At the mouth of a tunnel on Exor in the early light of dawn, Rogan Elders gathered round a small fire” knowledge is not wisdom “ said one “ wisdom is not truth “ said another “truth is not beauty” returned one more” beauty is not music” joined the last , before finally they chorused “music is the best “ ..at that they left and headed down the mountain towards the distant sound of drums..
Elswhere in a large state room in the capital of Yuwa, President Tulat sat at the head of a long table, around him were assembled the planets greatest minds, astronomers , physicists , mathematicians..”Theres no mistake “ said one “we all agree” said another “ the figures are incontrovertible” added one more voice ” staring into space the president muttered almost to himself “god have mercy on us all” before feinting and collapsing on the floor..
Sivnil – The high priest of Zynaz raised himself from the throne in the great temple of Zewl – order , order , he screamed – the furor resounding in the vast hall of the temple subsided, the other priests taking their seats and pursing their lips went quiet. “we are not done yet brothers” the words sliced through gritted teeth. “there is time yet for us to save ourselves” he continued “time still for a solution” I wont die on this mud-ball while we are masters of this world , ruling over a billions souls with our knowledge we must and will find a way, now get to work…
And That is how the people of the Tritos system discovered their delicate orbital balance had shifted , Zynaz had been accelerated by the passing of the comet and would inevitably collide with Yuwa , billions of years of harmony would end with the collision of Yuwa and Zynaz , the debris field destroying Exor in its wake ..all life in the Tritos system would end as its planets smash together leaving only dust to mark their passing… the outcome unquestionably the same for all..Oblivion, death, the end of life.

Preservation
by Ordono Mundi on Jan.27, 2010, under Prinicipals
To be an Astronomer you must be.
Without consciousness and life no study can be made of Universe.
The first principal of The Astronomers is to cherish life, not just your own but all life.
Astronomers nurture lives of peace and moderation.
The mind of a student is sharp when stirred and calm at rest.
No excess of lifestyle or indulgence is recommended for a life of contemplation.
Violence is never useful nor warranted nor acceptable to us.
Force can never be maintained, its use to persuade or convert is deplored.
To preserve is not to prevent destruction that occurs naturally.
To preserve events it is neccessary to record.
Records allow us to travel the roads of others who came before.
To travel the road one must be healthy, eat well and keep your body whole.
Preservation is not survival, it is more than the moment of life.
It is the continuation of life and knowledge and study.
The Earth Is Round
by Ordono Mundi on Jan.26, 2010, under Sacred Facts
The Earth is Round
This is the first Scared Fact -To become Sage an Astronomer must demonstrate they posses and understand this knowledge. The ability to express the facts and convince others that they are the truth is also desirable. If you wish to advance as a Sage, you must learn the sacred facts and take the test for each one. The test costs $10 and will take place by Skype or Phone. To become Sage one must master all the sacred facts. Having done so you will become Ordono/User name. You will be expected to run a sub-domain of the Astronomers, spreading the sacred facts and keeping 50% of test fees for new members. When you are ready to take the test click the button at the bottom of this fact.
Pythagoras first proposed that the Earth was round sometime around 500 B.C. He based his idea on the fact that he showed the Moon must be round by observing the shape of the terminator (the line between the part of the Moon in light and the part of the Moon in the dark) as it moved through its orbital cycle. Pythagoras reasoned that if the Moon was round, then the Earth must be round as well. After that, sometime between 500 B.C. and 430 B.C., a fellow called Anaxagoras determined the true cause of solar and lunar eclipses – and then the shape of the Earth’s shadow on the Moon during a lunar eclipse was also used as evidence that the Earth was round.
Around 350 BC, the great Aristotle declared that the Earth was a sphere (based on observations he made about which constellations you could see in the sky as you travelled further and further away from the equator) and during the next hundred years or so, Aristarchus and Eratosthenes actually measured the size of the Earth!
Eratosthenes of Cyrene 276 BC– c. 195 BC was a Greek mathematician, elegiac poet, athlete, geographer, and astronomer. He made several discoveries and inventions including a system of latitude and longitude. He was the first Greek to calculate the circumference of the earth (with remarkable accuracy), and the tilt of the earth’s axis (also with remarkable accuracy); he may also have accurately calculated the distance from the earth to the sun and invented the leap day.[3] He also created a map of the world based on the available geographical knowledge of the era. In addition, Eratosthenes was the founder of scientific chronology.
Eratosthenes measured the circumference of the earth without leaving Egypt. Eratosthenes knew that on the summer solstice at local noon in the Ancient Egyptian city of Swenet (known in Greek as Syene, and in the modern day as Aswan) on the Tropic of Cancer, the sun would appear at the zenith, directly overhead. He also knew, from measurement, that in his hometown of Alexandria, the angle of elevation of the sun would be 1/50 of a full circle (7°12′) south of the zenith at the same time. Assuming that Alexandria was due north of Syene he concluded that the distance from Alexandria to Syene must be 1/50 of the total circumference of the earth. His estimated distance between the cities was 5000 stadia (about 500 geographical miles or 800 km) by estimating the time that he had taken to travel from Syene to Alexandria by camel. He rounded the result to a final value of 700 stadia per degree, which implies a circumference of 252,000 stadia. The exact size of the stadion he used is frequently argued. The common Attic stadium was about 185 m, which would imply a circumference of 46,620 km, i.e. 16.3% too large. However, if we assume that Eratosthenes used the “Egyptian stadium”[7] of about 157.5 m, his measurement turns out to be 39,690 km, an error of less than 1%.[8]
Repeat Eratosthenes’ Experiment
Eratosthenes measured, at his local noon in Alexandria, the angle of elevation of the sun on the summer solstice (21 June). Eratosthenes used the local noon and no other time of the day since at local noon all relevant places and sunrays are placed on the same imaginary plane enabling the use of simple geometry for his calculations. In order to repeat Eratosthenes’ experiment you’ll have to do the same.
First, calculate your local noon because it may be quite different from 12:00 noon on the clock. There are several ways to compute its exact occurrence. Basically, local noon is half-way between sunrise and sunset. You can obtain sunrise and sunset times, for June 21, from your local paper or from this link: http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneDay.php which also calculates local noon (sun transit). You can also obtain it by yourself by using a sundial or find out when the shadow is the shortest around noon time.
On June 21 erect a vertical straight stick or pole of about 1 meter using a carpenter’s level and measure the length of the shadow it casts at your local noon. With simple trigonometry you can obtain the angle of the elevation of the sun. You can also obtain the angle, without trigonometry, by drawing the stick and shadow proportionally and measuring it with a protractor. You can compare your results with a web based applet like this: http://www.jgiesen.de/azimuth but be careful to use it correctly (insert your correct time zone, local noon, coordinates, date and ensure that the dropdown menu points to elevation).
Sun Elevation Angle
After you get the angle of sun elevation, it’s very easy to calculate the zenith angle by subtracting it from 90°, like Eratosthenes did. Now you’ll have to measure the distance from your location to the Tropic of Cancer altitude line – not by camel caravans of course, the Eratosthenes way. You can use a relatively large scale map, but take in account that maps tend to distort distance and the best option is to use a globe. The distance from your location to the Tropic of Cancer should be measured from north to south. In other words the distance line has to cut the Tropic of Cancer at a right angle. There are also web based calculators for this: http://facstaff.gpc.edu/~pgore/ISCI/earthcircumference.html.
Now it’s easy to calculate the Earth circumference by using the following formula:
If you know the distance d to the place where the sun is directly
overhead, and the angle A that the sun makes here, then we can say
that
d A
— = —
C 360
where C is the circumference of the earth. Solve that for C and you’re
done.
Earth Circumference Formula
Likewise, you can also perform this experiment on the winter solstice that takes place around 21 December, but you’ll have to measure your distance from the Tropic of Capricorn instead from the Tropic of Cancer because on this date the sun reaches its highest degree of elevation on the Tropic of Capricorn (23° 26′ 22″ south of the Equator).
It is also possible to perform this experiment on the two Equinoxes which occur on 20 March and 23 September each year when the sun is crossing the equator at the local noon on those dates and the sun rays are just overhead the equator at a right angle to the ground. But instead to measure your distance from the Tropic of Cancer or the Tropic of Capricorn you’ll have to measure it from the equator.
There is another option and you can perform this experiment on any other date of the year, at local noon time, but you should have some partner located on your longitude willing to measure sun elevation at the same time. Take in account that you’ll have to be a little careful treating correctly the sun angles obtained in this case.
At any date the sun reaches its highest position, at noon time, at some altitude. From here is clear that if the two places involved are located on the same side of this altitude (north or south) the shadows will be casted at the same direction and the obtained angles should be subtracted from each other, whereas if the places are located on different sides of this altitude the shadows will be casted at different direction (southward or northward) and the angles should be added up.
Down with Atheism
by Ordono Mundi on Jan.16, 2010, under Our Order
Atheists dont believe in god or the devil , they dont believe in heaven and hell, the soul, an afterlife of any kind, or any other religious beliefs. They choose to live without God or gods. They will never know the joy of submitting to unproven nonsense about imaginary beings, never enjoy wishing an eternity of pain and suffering on those who dont agree with or acquiesce to delusions. Delusions so insane and unfounded we would lock there proponents in the loonybin if the deity they worshiped and foisted on their children were mickey mouse or hobgoblins . “Agnostics” and or freethinkers just “don’t know” or have an open mind about religious belief, especially the existence of God. they cant quite make their mind up if the rabid zealots that blow themselves up in gods name are nutters or “might actually have something there” perched as they are on the fence perhaps hoping when they die god will place an avuncular hand on their shoulder and steerr them into the light saying “its ok i can see how you might have had doubts what with all those crazy people i let speak on my behalf”
There are also the Non-religious” who are uninterested in religion or who reject it, the vague or unaffiliated, who are only nominally or culturally affiliated to a religious tradition or superstition. like astrology “there is no god “probabaly “but i reckon some hocus pocus about the position of the planets might guide my destiny and explain why im just like my parents…
“Skeptics doubts the truth of religious and other “paranormal” beliefs, typically on rationalist grounds and Secularists” believe that laws and public institutions (for example, the education system) should be neutral as between alternative religions and beliefs. so for instance we shouldn’t teach children that voodoo is a complete load of bollocks and its proponents are charlatans con men and liars..no no no , lets be neutral about being born a sinner and talking snakes leading to all of the suffering in the world ..would want to upset anyone..would we.
Hello Im Ordono Mundi and Im not an Atheist, nor am i secular , or agnostic or a person of non faith ..these are almost all terms used by Morons to describe people with enough intelligence to dismiss the mumbo jumbo of belief…Ther are many ways of decribing those who dont believe in god, those who dont blindly accept dogma or delusion -infidel, unbeliever , heathen, godless, kafir and these are the nice ones. throughout human history wherever you were born or lived , your survival often depended on agreeing to believe some whacky gobblyde gook , cooked up by the local witch doctor and high priest or shoved down your throat by your government , lord , king, pharoah, ceasar or some other well armed despot .But not any more , welcome to a tempoary window of choice on earth – well for some of us anyway. Yes for the lucky ones who have choice - we can now select from a number of unbelief’s , atheist , agnostic , secular ratyionalist and so on…And religious people will be very happy if you do chose one of them , because they are completely and utterly useless in the fight against the oppression of billions on earth by religion.
Would you stand next to a burning building wearing a “not a firefighter” t shirt, would you stare at scenes of murder and oppression glibly professing “im neutral on tyranny” how about letting your governmnet swear an oath to the tooth fairy then handind over the codes for nuclear war ..”there you go sir , were al very impressed by your submission to that imaginary being , if he ever whipers nuke em in your ear be sure to let us know…I say we are not what we are not , rather we are what we are – and I am an atsronomer.
Astronomers study the universe, peeling back the curtain of mystery adding to the great body of human knowledge and exploring everything from the nature of matter to the begining of time. To be an Astronomer is to be actively engaged in life, to observe , to know to learn , to improve our understanding of the universe and our place in it. To be an astroomer is also to marvell and gaze in awe at the beauty and wonder of it all.
it is Thanks to the discoveries of science and the prevalnce of reason in the modern world ,that many of us enjoy the freedom to stand back and do nothting while morons kill each other and their leaders sanction the destruction of our planet , our cradle of life. Yes thanks to science we have freedom to not be dumb, freedom to disagree or not take part..or the freedom to be astronomers
2 billion judeao christians , 1.5 billion muslims, 1 billion hindus and siks, and another billion assorted traditions of mumbly jumbly..have succumbed to the dark forces of Moron, They run our governmnets,control their flocks, infect our schools and to this day slaughter in their name is common. Fellow earth people I submit to you that doing nothing and being nothing is no onger enough…I say freedom is not free. and If the 1 billion non morons on earth do not come together to oppose and convert those lost minds from the shadow of Moron to the light of study, our temporary freedoms wil be just that ..temporaray.
This is the plalace of peace and reconciliation , its in the captial of kazakstan, interesting layout …Every 3 years leaders of the worlds biggest voodoo franchises come her to plan our continued adherence to mumbo jumbo, , we can only guess what kind of homogenised all one god faith with shoppping theyre dreaming up for us , steamlining their hocus pocus to a one size fits all . all the major mumbo is represented , no doubt a strategy for reconcilliation involvs you remianing inactive while they plan uber voodoo or mega mumbo or global hocus pocus, becuase no one who represents athiest si welcome, theres no room it seems in the future of all one god faith for non believers or a neutral secular life..peoplel of earth I say to you Freedom is not free , and i call upon all atheiests , agnostics, humanists and people of intelligence to join the astronomers, to travel the eternal road of infinite study and to fight the war on Moron , spreading the sacred facts across the face of the earth , ridding the world of ignorance and defeating the dark lord Moron . together as a billion strong voice of sanity , armed with reason and knowledge, supported by the facts and organised into a united body of will, we can change the world , shaping it not into a mass of ignorant unquestioning believers but a world of peacfull people free to explor and study the one thing greater than we are ..Universe . Say no to atheism , Join the astronomers, travel with me Ordono Mundi on the eternal road of infinite study, spread the sacred facts , rid the world of ignorance and defeat the dark forces of Moron. before th e palace of peace and reconcillaition becomes the church of all one god faith incorporated..with shopping
Praise the laws.
