1 An Alternate View of Venus

چکیده

Overwhelming physical evidence has been present for twenty-five years that Venus is a hot new planet, which we maintain resulted from the high velocity impact (> 10 43 ergs) on Jupiter about 6,000 years ago. Up-welling radiation measurements from five independent Pioneer Venus probes all agree that Venus is radiating 250 times more energy than the Earth. The interior is completely molten with a tenuous crust less than a kilometer thick floating on top. Venus’ enormous internal heat is manifested by raw lava lying in myriads of cracks on the surface and the high velocity jetting of sulfur gases (primarily S8) from some two hundred thousand ‘small domes,’ to an altitude of 48 km. The S8 molecule, the stable form of sulfur at temperatures in the lower atmosphere, was not detected because its mass was beyond the range of the Pioneer Venus instruments. The surface temperature is maintained at 450 C by the evaporation of raining sulfur. The altitude of the ubiquitous lower cloud layer corresponds to the exact temperatures at which the rising S8 freezes to form monoclinic and rhombic crystals, which comprise it. It is the great mass of sulfur suspended in the lower atmosphere (Hadesphere) which produces the high surface pressure, not CO2. CS also crystalizes from the rising gases at 31 km and catalyzes reactions which capture carbon. This caused the dropout of CO2 and CO between 31 and 50 km, currently attributed to ‘a clogging of the mass spectrometer input leak(s).’ We maintain that the dominant gas in the lower atmosphere is S8, not CO2, and there is no ‘runaway greenhouse effect.’ The great mass of upward jetting gases is what drives the ‘four day’ zonal winds which encircle the planet at all latitudes, for which there is currently no viable hypothesis. Background The currently accepted paradigm assumes that the terrestrial planets accreted from refractory particles in the inner solar system some 4.7 billion years ago. Adherence to this hypothesis results in a failure to explain almost every unique aspect of the planet Venus, among them: the slow retrograde rotation; the near resonant spin-orbit coupling with earth; the high, uniform surface temperature and pressure; the super-rotation of its atmosphere; the surplus energy which it radiates; its lack of a magnetic field; the totally volcanic surface; the uniform planetwide cloud and haze layers; the illumination level at the surface; the high deuterium to hydrogen ratio; and the near-total malfunction of the sensor systems on all the Pioneer Venus probes as they descended through altitudes of 12 to 14 kilometers. Our scenario provides answers to all of these

The Venus effect in real life and in photographs.

The toilet of Venus is the subject of many paintings. Typically, Venus appears with a small mirror in which her face is visible. Observers tend to say that Venus is admiring herself in a mirror, even when the location of the mirror makes this impossible. We demonstrate that the Venus effect is not specific to paintings by showing that it occurs in real life (Experiment 1) and in photographs (Ex...

A survey: Glucose sedative effect in neonates during Venus blood sampling

Background: The number of invasive procedures performed in newborns admitted in neonatal units is very high. Nonpharmacologic interventions are valuable alternatives for pain relief during minor procedures in neonates. The aim of this study was to assess the analgesic effect of orally administered glucose with different concentration in neonate using a validated behavioral acute pain rating sca...

Standardization of alternate wetting and drying (AWD) method of water management in low land rice (Oryza sativa (L.))

Alternate wettting and drying (AWD) systems save water compared with continuoussubmergence (CS) irrigation. However, the reported effect on yield varies widely and detailedcharacterizations of the hydrological conditions of AWD experiments are often lacking so thatgeneralizations are difficult to make. We compared the effects of AWD and CS on crop andwater productivity in rice in the field expe...

The Expedition towards Venus

A project of an expedition towards planet Venus, which is carried out in two stages, is considered. At the first stage, a space train, consisting of a locomotive and a tank with working substance, delivers onto Venus orbit the landing capsule with the Venus plane and the Venus rover, as well as the tank-container with liquid hydrogen, which is used subsequently for return of the expedition onto...

An Analysis of the Nature of Tessera Materials on Venus

Introduction: One of the major and outstanding problem in Venus geology is: Does Venus possess a non-basaltic crustal component which may be an analog to the continental crust of Earth [e.g. 1]? Detailed photogeologic analysis of plains units that make up the majority of the surface of Venus strongly suggests that the plains were formed by eruptions of low-viscosity lavas [2-4]. Such a morpholo...
