The Day Earth Is Returned
Epilogue
PROLOGUE
The Planetary Thieves are Intergalactic Swashbucklers called the Putniks and they are out to cause trouble for us on earth.
The Putniks do not care about normal evolution, they want things done for themselves and nobody else, and they are extremely selfish.
The Putniks have extraordinary mental abilities. They can move extremely large objects, any place that suits them. They will move the planets around
if only for the fun of it. These annoying critters are from the edge of the Taurus constellation. The constellation is known to have the largest black hole in our galaxy.
In order for the Putniks to survive, they need a place without shadows. They can only live in a totally lit world, a world without darkness, a world without partial darkness, and a world that is totally shadow-free. The Putniks still want trees and plants around them to keep them company. They want to steal planet Earth, so they can have a place to live and a planet they can enjoy. They do not understand that trees cannot survive in total light, that tree's need darkness to rid them selves of chemicals that built up during the hours in the sun.
What will happen to the other planets around the sun, when Earth is moved? When the Putniks rob a planet, a black hole is created where the missing planet was.
By removing Earth, there is also a high probability that two or three of our planets may collide. Some one must help Earth and restore order in the Milkyway Galaxy.
What or who is that special person, who helps to save life in the Milky Way. Mr. Dialy is that special person. Mr. Dialy knows all about, Yaw, Pitch and Roll, which makes it easy for him to outsmart the thieves. To retrieve our planet, planet Earth needs someone who knows all about, Yaw, Pitch and Roll, how else will we know about gravity, movements, rotation, navigation and coordinates.
How will Mr. Dialy save Earth? When will Mr. Dialy make that happen? It happens at equinox that very next year. How do the Putniks plan to steal Earth? How does Mr. Dialy help Earth? Why does he think it is important to help retrieve our planet? What is Mr. Dialy to kids? What is so special about the three-sun galaxy? How will living beings survive there? This is a story about kids and Mr. Dialy! It is daring and it is exciting.
THE DAY EARTH IS STOLEN.
Introduction.
The Cradle.
Science has opened many doors to our quest for the truth and has answered many questions. Science has also reflected deeply on beliefs we once held about our own faith of the nature of the universe; but time is still regarded as a taboo or a barrier that can not be crossed.
This story is an attempt to simplify the understanding of how time can be insignificant in scientific terms. It is also about how any event which has seemed irreversible can be viewed, just as Newton discovered, that to every action there is an equal and an opposite reaction. Newton stopped short of including this category of action, since he had precluded this from his conceived idea. For every positive path there exists a negative path in such a way that any creation is inherently met with anti-creation. So with the balance of nature, what action if any would not be influenced by this principle.
INTRODUCTION:
Massive explosion of a Star is called a Supernova. Supernovas happen on a daily basis in the Universe. They are formed so far away, that they cannot be seen or felt for millions of years. Light travels at a speed of 186,000 miles per second. Which is very, very fast? One idea is that a Supernova started the universe, trillions of light years ago! This Idea is known as the Big Bang Theory. A Supernova is being formed in the constellation of Taurus. The planet the Putniks live on is being consumed by a black hole. The Putniks have to find themselves another home planet to live on.
The Putniks have abilities most people on earth have never heard of before. There are a few settlers from Mars here on Earth that has similar ability as the Putniks, though they have never had a reason to reveal their strengths.
The Putniks.
The Putniks are the Intergalactic Swashbucklers, who travels to constellations and Galaxies looking for a planet they like. They are searching for a place where they can have fun as well as live comfortably, a place they can call home. The Putniks really like the Milky Way Galaxy, but cannot find the right combination of planets and suns to suit their purpose.
The Esteemed Sukuvich, the President of the Putniks, governs the Putniks. Mr. Sukuvich is part of The Counsel of five governing the Putniks. There is Mr. Mukuvich and the other is called Mr. Bukuvich, followed by Mr. Lukuvich and Mr. Cukuvich. This counsel oversees all the Putniks, even though there are smaller governing bodies. The Putniks have their counsel make decisions for all of them. This is not a democracy.
The Putniks at first have to find a trinary system to live in. They find Alpha Centaury, which is approximately 3.4 light years from Earth. The Putniks then will find a planet that fits all their needs.
The Putniks travel far and wide in their search for a planet. A Martian who resides inside the planet Mars told Mr. Sukuvich about planet Earth. Creatures in other galaxies tell the Putniks, how very green Earth is, and how much water it is surrounded by. The Putniks love water and choose to look at Earth for this very reason. The Putniks love to swim and they love to live on water. Lack of water and the threat to their planet, are the reasons, they seek a new home. The Putniks create big bubbles in the water with help of their special transducer.
Other creatures in the universe tell the Putniks, that the people on planet earth are ignorant. They are told that people on earth, are a society of individuals, all with their own agenda, like plan, program or schedule. They think themselves alone in the universe; they think themselves superior to all other life forms, animals, trees and plants. The rich inhabitants on earth are too busy accumulating wealth and comfort, and the poor are busy barely surviving. The middle class is busy satisfying the rich and making sure they don’t become destitute. There are a lot of rumors about Earth not having a stable government and how easy it would be for travelers from another planet to attack and conquer.
The Putniks are told, that people on earth, would never believe their planet is stolen.
Earthlings believe it impossible to move huge objects.
The creatures in the universe forgot to tell the Putniks, that survivors from the last Supernova populated areas in South America. This last Supernova took place 100,000 years ago, in the Cygnus constellation. The intelligent inhabitants of that region, arranged for the smartest and the brightest of their people, to be transported to our solar systems ninth and third planets. It also seems like it is the brightest and the best creatures of a planet that will relocate. Usually the average people don’t even believe in the coming destruction before it is too late.
The Putniks did visit Earth over a 100,000 years ago. So they had an idea of how likely a planet we were and decided now that they would move our planet to a galaxy with total light when the time came to leave their own planet. After finding a suitable trinary system in the Taurus constellation close to the Milky Way, with three suns, planet Earth is going to be placed within the three-sun planetary system.
On December 22, in the very near future. In the Three Sun Galaxy.
The Putniks figure that they will to move Earth, when people in the most populated areas are thought to be asleep. There are more people on the Northern Hemisphere. The planet is moved when North America is asleep. Why not do it the on the longest night in the Northern Hemisphere. The Putniks decide to steal Earth on December the 22nd, 2001. This day is Winter Solstice.
Solstices are the two days in the year when the sun is at its greatest angular distance from equator. Winter solstice, December 22, is the longest night in the Northern Hemisphere and the shortest night in the Southern Hemisphere. June 21st is just the opposite.
Three night’s before Christmas, the Putniks surround earth with a powerful energy force, which quickly transports planet Earth to the new planetary system. Suddenly planet Earth is bathed in light 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The Putniks are very, very happy. They stay on higher ground, places where there are no shadows. The Putniks must watch out for heavy cloud build up, since lack of sun will sap their energy. Since they have total sunlit spacecraft’s they can take off at a moment’s notice, should a storm or cloud enter their space?
The planet invaders decide to live in the Himalayas mountain ranges.
They walk among the mountaintop of the Himalayas and they love it. They stop at streams to bathe, which is what they crave; since all the water on their planet evaporated, now they feel wonderful. The Putniks energy levels are, much higher than we earthlings, so they cannot be seen by the naked eye, though some people do have the ability to see them. The Putniks move at 26 to 28 frames per second. The Putniks are bipeds; they do have four arms and two legs. They are about ten feet tall and they have large noses and long ears. They have a very fine layer of hair. The Putniks look like big babies, except their ears stand up and they have long noses. They walk on two feet. They have a strong sense of smell and they eat plants. There are at least ten thousands of them spread around the mountaintop. They stay away from the populated areas and they stay away from any form of darkness or shadow.
On December 22nd, in the very near future,
Uncle George is surrounded by the Astrogarden troops.
The Astrogarden spokes-person, starts out by explaining, what is going on and why, with a small boys voice. Joe is the Astrogarden spokes-person.
Joe says: "Uncle George, is our designer and creator." "He lives in Los Angeles at the present time, together with us, his toys. We are his creation; he created us in the image of science. Uncle George plans to help save planet Earth from being distroyed, by using the Astrogarden Troops."
"The population on earth is staggering; people in power are depleting the natural resources. Our planet is heating up, and even though it is only a few degrees, a few degrees can do a lot of harm." And he goes on to say: "When the planet heats up, we have bigger storms, heavier rains in some places, in other places we have no rain, but we have dust storms and starvation. Just like we have seen in Africa and India."
"When Uncle George created us, his band of dexterous warriors, he also designed a floating city, made specifically for kids to have fun, and where they can play with us."
At this moment, we all live in Los Angeles County, California.
"We have our home in Northridge, where the last big earthquake in the United States shook us all up."
And Joe goes on to say: "We used to live one and a half-mile from the earthquake epicenter. Now we live further north of LA. We live in the upper most, northwest corner of the San Fernando Valley.
In different parts of the World, in the very near future.
Millions of families are getting up out of bed in the morning.
This is the 22nd of December, and the Holiday Season is already here.
Business is booming Mall’s are full of presents to be bought. Mothers are making the last arrangements for Christmas, Hanukah or what ever is being celebrated. People still have to set up their green trees in the living room. The Mall’s are dressed up with garlands and balloons. People are in festive mood, even though they are hurried. At the Topanga Mall, there are no places to park the car; we drive up and down the parking lot until we see a person ready to back out. We are placing our last orders and we are buying the last needed presents.
Garlands are hung on the front door.
Lights are placed in the window, anticipating the long dark nights.
In Hong Kong it is hot and muggy, people are running frantically around shopping or walking home from work. Hong Kong is always busy, day and night. Except for the change in light there seems to be no difference between the hours.
In London it is raining cats and dogs, people are running home with their umbrellas covering their heads and with shoes covered with galoshes, making sure they don’t step in large puddles of water. Some snowflakes are falling softly, but they melt as they touch the ground.
It is cold in England; the homes are cold as well. England never discovered central heating; they heat their houses with fireplaces or space heaters and get stewed on one side and cold on the other. They have to dress very warm, to keep out the cold. When you need a bath, you go out in the hallway and insert a shilling or two into the gas meter and hope that is enough to heat the water for your bath.
In Copenhagen, Denmark, it is snowing lightly; there is a soft carpet on the ground. In the night it freezes. The red roofs are partially covered with a layer of snow. Out in the country, every place is quiet and very still, due to the snow. Near a field one can see where a farmer on a tractor has been out to collect roots or carrots to feed the cattle.
In Tokyo, Japan, some people are getting ready for the holiday season, though most are Buddhist and only if a holiday falls in and around this Season, do the Japanese make any holiday arrangements. People still rush around and do their usual shopping. It is always busy and there is always a lot of people on the streets walking fast, or hurrying to catch a train.
In the city of Mukairas, South Arabia, it is still warm in the day. Bedouin women are busy picking up sticks of wood for the fire, placing large items of collected wood tied together with twine, on their heads and balancing the item while climbing up steep cliffs, in order to get back to their village. In the afternoons it is 80 – 85 degrees in the shade in the winter months. The people of the region are just going around doing what they always do. They are collecting firewood in order to cook supper at night.
No one dream’s of what is lying ahead. No one can dream of Earth being moved? How can that possibly be done?
At home with Uncle George.
Our windows have vertical blinds, - no one realizes that the sun is up.
Sitting in the tub, once my eyes are open and I am awake, I think to myself, what is that bright light coming through the blinds, it cannot possibly be this bright, this early in the day.
I shave, I brush my teeth, I comb my short hair, and I keep thinking that it is so extremely bright outside.
I move the vertical blinds apart, to get a better look, and I voice, "What is that over there? Is that the moon?"
I talk to my wife, she is still in bed, and she worked last night and is very tired. I try and make the conversation light, because I know from experience, that it bothers her if I talk too much, especially when she is trying to sleep.
I do not understand what is going on. I dress and I get ready for work, and I drive to the office.
As I drive to work, I am thinking, something is very, very different, something is very, very wrong, but I just don't know what it is. I go to the office; the office looks the same as yesterday.
I check for fax and email.
The Chinese contract is confirmed, and the deal with Sweden is resolved, but still, I look out the window and I see three bright elements in the sky. Nothing else seems different, except for the bright light. I keep thinking, "There are no shadows."
It is now five PM and the sky is as bright as it was on the way to work, and this is late December.
I am on my way home; I dial the radio to where I can listen to the news.
I listen to AM 1070. What I hear is very confusing. No one seems to know what is going on. The commentator mentions the bright light in the sky, and says something about the three elements in the sky, but nobody knows why that is?
I know I have to go home and talk to my characters.
Mr. Dialy shows kids where to go and have fun, he makes sure that they are learning well, which is just wonderful. But he serves another purpose too;
he is able to figure out why the Putniks, the ones that stole Earth, why they would do a monstrous thing like that. Of course he is not alone, you know?
Mr. Dialy has a lot of like minded friends at his beg and call. If he has any trouble with not knowing, as well as space, direction, angles and forms, he
just calls on one of his many friends. Mr. Dialy’s friends are made the same way Mr. Dialy is. They are formed in George’s imagination cubicle, they are
thought out, first drawn, then computer generated, then converted into harmonies which gives them their unique ability and form.
The Astrogarden Toys have special ability, and they always seem to know what is going on in the universe. Having a rhythm and magnitude is what
makes them special.
When I am home, I call up the troops.
Uncle George is calling out, "Mr. Dialy come here. You are needed!"
Mr. Dialy answers, "Hi, Uncle George, what can I do for you."
Uncle George says, "You must call up the gang, I mean the troops."
Mr. Dialy gets down by the home drafting and designing table. He sits on a stool made especially for him.
Uncle George asks him; "Mr. Dialy, what is the bright light in the sky. Can you please find out what is going on, I hate to see something bad happening, when the kids on Earth are celebrating the holiday season? Many children are looking forward to our special holiday and the gifts, and I just don't want to see them disappointed or hurt."
Mr. Dialy answers Uncle George, proceeding to say: "It will take me a few hours to gather the troops, and discuss the phenomenon with them." "The troops always want me to give them some time to think about it after I bring up the problem," Mr. Dialy says.
And he continuos to say; "I will get back to you real soon, Uncle George." Then Mr. Dialy flies away out the window.
Mr. Dialy finds the troops, and asks them, "What happens to our ocean when we have three sun's, won't the oceans evaporate and disappear fast?" and "Won’t three suns make it too hot and dry."
While Mr. Dialy is away gathering the Troops, Uncle George is thinking.
"There are three bright objects in the sky. It is as if 1000 lights are focused directly on me. The funny thing about it, I look at the thermostat, which shows 72 degrees Fahrenheit."
The 72 degrees is not just in Los Angeles, but all around the globe. So what is going on in the Arctic and the Antarctic?
Something weird is going on? Hey, let us look what's on TV? Maybe they have the answer to the three suns in the sky. Of course I have never found TV to have all the answers, and they never seem to tell the whole truth about any subject. A few of the stations mention the bright light outside, but no one seems to know what is going on or why.
An hour later, Mr. Dialy is back with some of the characters. Here is Joe, the Astrogarden spokes-person, Mr. Mean Anomaly, Mr. Spring Equi, Mr. Node, Mr. Mean Motion, Mr. Eccentricity, Mr. Epoch, Mr. Semi Sergeant Major, Mr. Hour Angle, and at last Mr. Prime Meridian.
Uncle George, " Mr. Pointer and Mr. Summer Solstice are a little late, but they said they would come as well, but they are busy right now." They are flying around the north and the south poles, since they are concerned about the higher than usual temperatures noted in those regions.
Uncle George wants some answers, so he says, "Can one of you give me a run down on what the worst scenario is, having light 24 hours of the day, 365 days a year?"
Joe, the Astrogarden spokesperson answers, "It is going to be very, very bad for our planet." He straightens his stout physic, as he says; " We are in big trouble, Uncle George. There are so many areas that are affected by increased light on earth. The biggest trouble we have is at the poles. The ice is going to melt. Oceans are going to rise. It is important that we return Earth to the Milky Way Constellation as soon as possible!"
For more information on the matter, Mr. Dialy answers, "We must wait for Mr. Pointer, since he is very important to the outcome, since he always says: "Mr. Pointer Points his nose, in the direction of your foes." Mr. Dialy also says: "Mr. Summer Solstice, helps all the good children of planet Earth." "We also have Mr.Precession, Mr.Sidereal, Mr.Greenwich, the witch with extraordinary powers, and Mr.Mean, will be very mean and take care of any one who wants to harm the children of the world."
The last mentioned characters are very, very busy right now, but they said they would love to help getting earth back to the right constellation, in the right orbit, just like before. We definitely need Captain Magnetic and Mr.Ausimouth, the Astrogarden Warriors and Mr.Gopher, expedites all the messages and returns with answers.
We are in the process of getting the troops together.
Mr. Dialy and I could not possibly know that we would be called upon to help save Earth. Mr. Dialy is really my invention. I thought of him and I designed him, to be kids best friend. All kids dream of having imaginary friend's, well Mr. Dialy started out being my imaginary friend, but it went much further than that, I dreamt of him, I saw him in my dreams and like a gift, I sat down and doodled him, then drew him, then I molded him. Later I digitized him and gave him movement and action. I also gave him a voice to sing with. I gave him the Astrogarden Theme Song to sing, I was planing for him to lead all good children to the only place on Earth where fun and learning is synonymous. Everybody in the world thinks that learning should be strict, serious, boring and that school is a way to send kids to learn discipline. Under those condition only the very brightest, and toughest will survive. The rest of us will go there, but we would rather be somewhere else.
Mr. Dialy has to call on Mr. Equi, Mr.Orbital and on Mr. Direction, they have to get together and discuss the probabilities of moving Earth back to it's normal orbit. They all feel it has to be done before Equinox. That means they have only three-month to do that in. The Putniks removed Earth from its orbit at the darkest time of the year, in the Northern Hemisphere, the 22nd of December. Mr. Dialy, Mr. Orbital and Mr. Direction has to confer with the measurements, and they will decide when to return the planet to it's proper place.
Christmas Day at Noon, in the very near future.
All the troops are together. They are all over the house each in their own place around Uncle George’s table. They have had a couple of days to think about it, now is the time for every ones input. Remember this is a democratic solution. Every ones specific opinion is, based on every ones, individual knowledge.
In the Month of January in the very near future.
Further planning is in the works. To move Earth back to its proper place and to do it so the Putniks won’t realize it will take cunning.
In the Month of February in the very near future.
Still there are things to do.
The Month of March and Spring Equinox, 2002.
The day has come for the return of planet Earth.
All the orbital elements are gathered at the beach. Each element has it’s own instrument to play on. This is the time for each and every one to shine.
We have Mr. Epoch with the Oboe. Mr. Mean Anomaly plays the violin. Mr. Epoch uses something more solid, like a piano.
The Day Earth Is Returned.
The day Earth is returned to the Milky Way constellation and to its right place and orbit.
Epilogue.
SOME OF THE SPECIAL CHARACTERS OR TOYS IN THE STORY.
Mr. Dialy: A wonderful character, who flies through the sky, he has a big head and heart, and a smaller sleek body. He turns in a circle, and he flies up side down and he turns right and left. If I want anything moved in space, I let Mr. Dialy do that.
Mr.Orbital: A knowledgeable person, in the path described by one body, in its revolution about another: (as by earth about the sun, or by an electron about an atomic nucleus): One complete revolution of a body describing such a path. If I want earth’s orbit restored, Mr. Orbital does the job.
Mr. Direction: Guides or supervises an action or direction. He manages the performance.
Mr. Zenith: He knows the point immediately overhead.
Mr. Nadir: He always knows the point immediately underneath.
Joe: The Astrogarden spokes person.
Mr. Mean Anomaly:
Mr. Spring Equi: & Mr. Autumn Equi: Two days a year on which, everywhere on Earth, day and night are equal.
Mr. Node: The nodes of a planet’s orbit are the points where the orbit intersects the plane of the ecliptic; they are termed ascending node where the planet crosses from south to north.
