d)  The possible influence of Halley Comet on Global Warming (now it's about to be Global Cooling, noted 5th Dec 2008)

This is a topic never discussed in modern science, nor do I know of any past reference on the possibilities of Halley comet's influence. Halley comet is a cosmic object, although its weight may be small, its expanded large volume and its sudden addition to the ecliptic could cause turbulence in the normal pattern of the nearby solar planets' energy emission. Where there is a cause, there is also effect. Any additional effect could affect sudden change in the solar energy environment before it returns to normalcy again. Therefore there are waves of abnormal and subtle cosmic energies received by earth, which appear to come in a pair. These waves may not be too strong but strong enough to cause some irritations to the micro electric brain activities of the large animals, such as whales, dolphins, elephants and humans. To these animals, such brain irritations might produce abnormal behaviors, such as man-killing elephants and suicidal whales. In humans, it could cause excitation in the brain resulting in heightened behaviors, such as irrational decisions, moral degeneration, abnormal sexual fantasies, suicidal waves, excited social or political unrest and wars. They may also force the tiniest life forms, such as viruses, to mutate. In ecology, even small change in solar energy field could touch off the release of strain in earth crust accumulated over long time and produce earthquake, tsunamis and violent weathers. The episode of Halley's visit in 1910 saw the start of 1st world war and 50 million deaths by Spanish Flu. A secondary wave could have caused the 2nd World War. The present episode of Halley visit occurred at the end of 1985. It also saw the 1st and 2nd wars in Iraq as well as tens of millions death by Aids viruses.

The state of world events shortly before and after the comet arrival alarmed me. In fact, my hunch had led me to investigate briefly a few more episodes of Halley's earlier visits, and my observations seemed to correlate.  My investigation and my own brain storm also led me to believe that limited disturbance in nature's forces may not be all bad. It would depend on the prevailing social and historical environment of the time. I came to the idea that a strong surge in musical interest could hit the world, because musical notes are related to cosmic vibrations. Heightened micro-electric brain waves might even stimulate the invention of all sorts, especially in electrical and electronic devices, such as computers, etc. etc.,... Sure enough! These things seemed to have happened in the past as I had suspected! So in my two letters to the senior leader Deng Xiao Ping in 1989 (The First Letter) and 1990 (The Second Letter) I did include a few words about the possible effect of Halley comet's arrival... 

When I saw the most unusual and excited behaviors of students who had forcibly occupied the Tien An Men Square in Beijing for 58 days in 1989, and the news was blasting away day and nights in Hong Kong, my own brain too was becoming increasingly irritated. At the time I had just purchased a Chinese Word Processor. Unconsciously I typed my thoughts into the computer while I was practicing the system. Those materials were later to become the two political letters attached to this website. Because before the comet arrival, in 1984, Deng Xiao Ping had already begun to open up the nation by constructing the town Shen Zhen adjacent to Hong Kong with unprecedented enthusiasm and determination, as well as with such speed and success. I used to watch and visit the exciting development practically every month. China, after two centuries of opium invasion, internal and external wars, as well as some 40 years of determined political consolidation after the 2nd World War, was ready to stretch her legs. Somehow I was hoping to urge Deng Xiao Peng to quickly open up China by riding the stimulating Halley energy before it turned rotten and exploded into chaos without a purpose. I also sent these materials to Mr. Ghali at UN later on, to reflect some useful thoughts on the 1st Iraqi War situation and the troubled situation in Gaza. True or false I was more than glad to have seen some positive reactions at the time.  

Now I am exposing the same basic intentions here with much increased materials as well as a list of historical events that may have correlation to the past Halley Comet's visits known in records. I am trying to relate to readers to watch out for any abnormal excitation, especially for the politicians, because if I am right about the Halley effect,  then we are still at the height of the second wave Halley influence. This 2nd wave reflects the 2nd Iraqi war and consequences. Any mistakes made now, the cost of consequence could be long term and significant, especially after the period is over, which might end in about late November 2008 when Pluto enters Capricorn. This is my main purpose in publishing these writings on the Web.  As to whether I am right or not, it can be confirmed or rejected by continued research on historic events in many countries relating to visits of Halley comet over the past 2300 years, some of which I have included in the list following  this introduction, but only very roughly. I have also only listed some of the events in world history and the Chinese history in the list. But if I am right about my suspicion that strong and sudden surge of cosmic energy could affect human brain to make wrong or berserk political decisions, or to add to the possibility of  political unrest, strong national conflicts, international wars, even the urge to commit violent suicidal  acts, then this is a valid subject for more studies, especially for this nuclear weapon age. And also if I am right, then such excitation on the brain not only could cause negative influence, but also stimulate great surge of positive or negative social energy to give a boost in economic boom or downfall. It could even make advance in natural science, nuclear, electronic and space technologies, along with heightened interests in music and revelations in humanitarian understanding.  However, this is a very wide and involved subject, because it involves not just Halley comet alone, but also the conditions of the entire solar system at the time of Halley's arrival, and producing both good and bad effect. So I can only ring the alarm, but my own efforts are not enough. Please read the whole page, including the following paragraphs in red, in order to get a good grip.      

Lastly, let me add a few words about China again! One significant coincidence, if it is a coincidence at all, is China's significant rise in the recent years! China was able to ride the up surging energy of the comet. Deng Xiao Ping established Shen-Zhen city right on the arrival of Halley comet in 1984. It was the first determined move that would lead to China's reformation and modernization. China's accelerating social and economic development have become well above any known national development in global history. This largest mass of humanity has been able to change at will directly from a traditionally agricultural community to a space age nation as well as the biggest exporter of  information technology equipments in a span of less than a quarter of century. Literally countless new houses, roads, traffic equipments, hospitals and every other conceivable kind of major or small national infra-structures, including sport related structures, have been successfully built and put to use without serious hitch also in those few short years. This, of course, is only possible because of the capacity and majority of her long rational and sober civilization as well as the qualities of her present leadership. But I also attribute such extra super energy to be a typical example of stimulation by the Halley Comet, whose visit coincided exactly with this very same span of time. What's more, it was for such reasons that these two political letters were written in 1989 and 1990. China in fact is demonstrating to the rest of mankind that it is possible to achieve success, or even greatness, without any military conquest or any other aggressive undertakings... Without any doubt, the labour and good will of the contemporary Chinese government will go down history in praise! 

The great mother nature always has the last say. The solar system is capable of  producing periodically ice ages, such as the Pleistocene Ice Age (1,600,000 to about10, 000 years ago). In the Little Ice Age (1500 - 1850 AD) the temperature dropped 1° C to 6° C in various parts of the olar Earth. Such periodic large climatic fluctuations could have been touched off by changes of cosmic energies in the solar system, and in minor cases, such as comet influences. Therefore the present Global Warming could have been started off by perhaps two comets (Halley Come of 1986 and Schumacher Comet of 1993), while the planet Pluto was transiting the comic domain called Sagittarius. In other words, it may not be caused by human action of burning fossil fuels, nor any further interventions and efforts on the part of the tiny humans at all. However, a slight influence from the Halley comet should surely be enough to disturb the micro-electric activities of human brains and set off the still raw human nature to kill each other (If at all I am right in this respect, then I am inclined to predict that this global warming phenomenon should soon decline, starting at the end of 2008 and onwards. Well, we will see!) 

[Note:- At this moment as I am punching the key board (9 PM Feb 1st 2008 and adding this passage) China is being hit with heavy snow storms, so severe and intense that has never been seen for at least 50 years. It had begun as soon as planet Pluto approached the Constellation of Capricorn from Sagittarius. The twelve Constellations are the zodiacal divisions, which is in fact the angular divisions of the force field symmetry in the solar system, which create changes of seasonal temperatures. When sun moves yearly from Sagittarius into Capricorn most of the world enters the depth of winter season and temperatures begin to drop. This time planet Pluto does just that! In my view, the effect of Pluto changing zodiacal divisions or changing the angular divisions of the solar field symmetry is in fact canceling out the remaining energy of global warming, which was brought on and touched off by the visit of Halley comet, whilst Pluto was transiting Sagittarius. I have been writing about the Halley effect since 1989, but have only treated it as a theoretical possibility with a high degrees of anticipation. I have also predicted that Halley influence or global warming should diminish starting from the Winter season of 2008 and onwards. It now appears that my anticipations may be already beginning to manifest into reality. If my theory is working, then it would be further confirmed if and when global temperatures should continue to drop noticeably in the next Winter seasons of 2008 and 2009, which would write off Global Warming in the end... Then of course the anxieties regarding polar ice melting and disappearance of coastal lands will diminish as well! Let's hope that could be the case!       

A few thousand years of immature civilization or a couple of millenniums of mixed up religion are barely split seconds in the long process of natural evolution. Now that human intelligence and civilization have miraculously started on earth, its future is immense and immeasurable. Because of the unstoppable progress of evolution, before too long other more advanced animals, such as dogs, cats, horses, elephants, dolphins, etc... will learn to communicate too in languages or gestures. It is only the very beginning of a long meaningful universal existence. To make sure that it cannot end prematurely, interplanetary immigration is inevitable. Therefore, future human energies, every ounce of it, must be focused on space exploration, not arguments or power struggles to dominate each other on this vulnerable earth. 

Some estimated years of Halley Comet's visits and corresponding events in history:-

Halley Comet has a very elongated orbit and its outermost distance is roughly 30% farther than that of Pluto. It does not travel parallel to the plane of the Ecliptic with the rest of solar planets, but when it approaches near the sun, it does enter the Ecliptic plane and its energy would be suddenly passed onto the rest of the solar planets. Halley comet comes close to the sun approximately once every 76 years in average. The comet body consists mainly of ice, but when it comes close the sun, the icy body would explode into gas with sudden increase of temperature and a hugely increased volume. Although it does not have the mass of a solar planet, but when its gaseous volume grows explosively to occupy a colossal space in motion, this sudden addition of volume and new energy in the realm of the ecliptic must cause some degrees of temporary disturbance in the regular pattern of cosmic radiations in the ecliptic where solar planets and our earth travel. Broadly speaking, cosmic phenomena such as solar wind, auroras, magnetic storms or plasma waves, and other fluctuations of solar radiation energy, could be affected by such periodic and sudden arrival of large volume of charged gaseous particles from outer cosmic space. As a result the Halley visit could bring about a fluctuation in the normal program of cosmic radiation received by earth. Such changes may not be huge, but are big enough to cause the micro-organs, i.e. viruses, to mutate, because they are the smallest living things and therefore more easily affected. This could be the reason that since the last arrival Halley comet (1985/6) many antibiotic chemicals failed to suppress virus infections, and also the present fear of Bird Flu virus mutation. Historically the arrivals of comet have often been viewed as bad omens by some cultures. There are probably valid reasons for it. If that was the case, then comets could even serve as a driving force that kicks off evolution.

Meantime, probably the micro electromagnetic wave functions in the brain of large animals are also affected, causing creatures like whales to commit suicide in groups. Also in recent years those equally large and intelligent elephants are attacking humans and killing hundreds of humans every year, an unprecedented phenomenon now called "Elephant Rage". It's even possible that the leopards in India and also the mountain lions of America are also affected because dozens of humans have been killed and eaten by them in recent years, which is also an unprecedented phenomenon. Because both social energy and ecological energy are cumulative energies. They can slowly accumulate for a long time and almost ready for explosion, then the addition of a small additional energy could set off a sudden eruption. Such surge of cosmic radiation could also affect unusual weathers, causing tsunami in Asia, large earthquake in Indonesia, China and Katrina storm in the US. If micro-electric brain behavior of large animals are effected, then such unfamiliar onslaught of energy could also provoke or agitate unusual human brain activities, which them manifest into very unnatural behaviors, such as the unprecedented rise of homosexuality. As all individual humans are simultaneously affected, the result could be a wave of heightened but unconscious brain activities that mobilize social change, good or bad depending on the prevailing conditions and trends of development of a community at the time. These periodic fluctuations of cosmic energy might have also caused the happening of many historic events, which prove to be corner stones in civilization. Let me repeat some of the extremely abnormal phenomena that had occurred since the comet's visit:-.

Saddam of Iraq invaded Kuwait at the height of what I call he Halley effect (early Aug1990).  In a great excitement 38 allied nations dispatched more than half a million soldiers and huge amount of war machines were sent to the Gulf. Whilst many retired senior leaders, like Nixon, Keath, Brandt and Tanaka went to Saddam’s home and personally persuaded him to get out of Kuwait. But Saddam neither saw his personal danger, nor recognized his diplomatic gain if he had withdrawn from Kuwait. Instead Saddam's forces were utterly crushed within a few days. These were the days, the world, in particular the Middle East, was in a huge mess of political confrontations without any clear solutions in sight. Kids in Gaza were throwing stones at soldiers carrying machine guns. Soviet Union had just broken up. Russia was facing a rather uncertain and unpredictable future, while many nations were undergoing big economic recessions. China had just emerged from 1989 student unrest, when students held in siege the parliamentary square in Beijing for 58 days, demanding immediate and on spot change of the largest government on earth to adopt Western style government, and where a perfectly experienced Chinese Premier broke into uncontrollable weeping publicly. A heated negotiation was approaching peak for the change of Hong Kong's sovereignty. Around the earth, abnormal weathers, earth quakes, volcanoes, typhoons were more often than usual. Floods in Bangladesh took 110,000 lives. Gay communities were rising in force. HIV/AIDS virus was about to become a major threat then (fully confirmed in 1985-1986, right on the arrival of Halley comet, although some cases were discovered a few years earlier). Draughts and mass starvation continued tragically in Africa. Even waves of whales and dolphins were committing mass suicide. These were the abnormal human and natural phenomena that alarmed me to write my letters to Deng Xiao Peng, which I now categorize as the first wave of Halley influence. The peak occurred during first Gulf War.

Motivated by curiosity, the writer set about in the late 80s to check the most recent 4 occurrences of Halley's visit and found that apparently Halley's comet did appear to bring about some strange phenomena and events in the time line as I have described in the two political letters presented in this web section. The effects of Halley visits, if existed, would cause not only the mutation of the smallest living organs, but also give a charge of extra energy to the birth of great geniuses and powerful men in history. The increased brain activity could activate unusual human achievements at the height of energy charge. Strong stimulation in the brain activities of some animals and humans could also cause upheavals or great leap forwards in human society as well as unusual ecological events (typhoons, tsunamis, earthquakes) etc., etc.  These large and sudden fluctuations of cosmic energy must be accounted for, and therefore, after a few years a second wave would follow in answer to the first wave. This phenomenon is a process of equilibrium in nature, but in human terms it is often an act of revenge, or just the consequence of the cause of human action. The initiating change by the first wave and the more prolong resultant second wave together appear to produce a corner stone in human history and give a new direction in social evolution. 

The start of Halley effect would be upon its first expansion of volume when it comes to some distance towards the sun, but this initial effect is not very pronounced or not yet strongly noticeable to us. However, as the comet orbit becomes close to the sun, our earth would feel the increase of energy strongly, depending on the position of the ecliptic (what month) the earth is in at the time. The first wave of influence would be felt a few short years before the comet's nearest approach to the sun. These influence then manifests strongly into social events during the next 9 years, depending on the prevailing social and natural condition at the time. During this period the human brain activities are stimulated enough to energies new and sometimes explosive actions, again depending on the background environments of the time. Then some 15 to 20 years after Halley's arrival a second wave would hit the same spot as a resounding consequence of the first wave before the entire episode of comet disturbance becomes normalized. This second wave would cause again social upheavals, but because the social conditions vary greatly, the length and extent of upheaval also vary.  For instance. Halley comets arrived between 1985 and 1986 and HIV/AIDS was first discovered in the gay community already at end of 70s but became fully blown and confirmed in mid 80s. The reports of antibiotics losing effect were also noted. The second wave of AIDS some years later widened to affect both men and women, which then spread out everywhere. Previously Halley comet arrived in 1910 and 1st World War began in 1914. Spanish Flu was fully blown and took some 50 million lives in 1919 when the war had just ended (9 years after Halley's arrival). The First World War then caused the 2nd World War because Germany lost the 1st war. The 1st Gulf war occurred in 1991, again a few short years after Halley's nearest approach. The 2nd Gulf War then followed as a result of the first Gulf war. Now everybody is concerned about the Bird Flu.. 

The second wave of Halley comet's influence seemed to have started on Sept 11th 2001, when a group of most primitive mountain fighters attacked the most advanced nation using most unprecedented suicidal plan (a squadron of high-jacked civilian planes) early in the morning and was able to summon a second plane within minutes to finish off the World Trade Center (why so important to bring down the building?). This was followed by the sudden invasions of Afghanistan and the Second Gulf War in Iraq. Then the upsurge of unending numbers of suicidal bombers. There has been a surge of politics to spread Western democracy around the world. And in terms of weathers, the tsunami of Asia, the Katrina storm in the US and the recent earthquake of Indonesia and China are abnormal enough. In the field of micro-organic life, the recent years Southern America has witnessed complete immunity of some viruses to any kind of anti-biotic drugs previously known, and there has been hundreds of death so far caused by Bird Flu virus H5N1. An equally unprecedented phenomenon occurs in recent years when large and intelligent elephants in India are attacking humans and killing hundreds every year. Mountain lions in the States also attacked and devoured human beings. On 20th Dec 2005 in Puponga Beach, New Zealand at Farewell Spit, about 125 pilot whales attempted suicide again. It was at the same spot that some 300 whales committed suicide 15 years ago. In another incidence, on Oct 26th 2005 some 130 pilot whales were found dead near the island of Tasmania, Australia, where also four sperm whales were found to be stranded, one already died on 13th Dec 2005. In May to June 2006 abnormally persistent rains flooded southern China and Taiwan, and took an unusual toll of lives. If the theory is working then the weathers this winter could be also pretty tough. We are not out of the woods yet...  

This page is included in order to supplement the above theory by giving more occurrences of Halley comet's visit and the historic events seem to have been related with it. The dates of Halley visits given below are very rough. Some of Halley visits are recorded in history, others are added here with approximate cycles of Halley orbit. The intervals of Halley Comet's apparitions range from 75 to 79 years with 76 as the average. And because the two waves of influence spread out 3 to 4 decades, all I am trying to do here for the time being is to give a reasonable correlation only. The human society seems to undergo no end of violent social and political changes, but somehow some of the biggest and most unusual changes occur during Halley's visits. Not all Halley's visits create great changes though, because the comet is not a planet, its effect does not necessarily create violent changes, but merely adds to the gravity and violence of things at the time, depending on the prevailing condition and direction of those changes. Therefore, the results can be good or bad. However, a pattern of changes is quite visible as illustrated in the following lists of historic events. The great surge of development in China of recent years right after Deng Xiao Peng's historic announcement to open up China with "bolder steps" is in my opinion aided by Halley comet's influence. A very evident event was the laying of foundation for the newest city, Shen Zhen, adjacent to Hong Kong, which was begun almost directly on the arrival of Halley comet in 1984. Today Shen Zhen is a crowded, busy and booming metropolis comparable to some of the great cities in the world. The unusual zeal and explosive growth of Shen Zhen in less than 20 years must be unexpected and entirely unheard of in history. 

Historically, often warnings and fear had been given about the comet's visit, but no scholars had taken them seriously. There are four main reasons. Firstly, no clear explanations for the warnings or fear had ever been given. Secondly, many warnings were given by psychics, like Nostradamus, or superstitious speculations. Thirdly, the Halley comet's energy produces both positive and negative effects and consequences, which confuses the issue. Fourthly, a great deal depends on the trend or direction of development of that society at the time of comet visit, which may or may not produce large fluctuations of social conditions to be easily detected, especially the two waves. However, it seems reasonable to deduce that sudden change of cosmic radiation at the ecliptic could disturb the normalcy or momentum of the solar energy field, which then causes abnormal weathers, the strange stimulation of normally orderly brain activities in humans and in more advanced animals as well as mutation of viruses. The present two waves of Halley effect seem to correlate with the two waves of the 1st and 2nd World Wars a well as the Spanish Flu. I have given in the following 21 episodes of Halley's visits, out of which 4 of them did bring about pandemics of Bubonic Plaque, strange Sweating disease, Spanish Flu, HIV/AIDs and now the dreaded Bird Flu,    . .. 

The following dates (in the beginning of each numeric item) are the approximate dates of Halley comet's visit and the historic events are rough examples of those correlated with the comet's arrival... Only events of notable historic influence as well as of very unusual nature are listed. They illustrate some turning points in history. The following list includes only examples occurred in China and in a couple of major countries for the time being. I shall try to add more later on. Perhaps interested web visitors could help out....-. 

1) 240 BC :- This is the first historic record ever of Halley comet's visit as reported by early Chinese historians. In 249 BC (9 years after Halley visit), Qin Chi Huang conquered the Chinese fiefdoms and united China, then began to link the construction of 4500 miles of Great Walls in Northern China. This was the emperor whose tomb was recently unearthed which contains some 8000 man sized terracotta soldiers,

In Rome, this was period of Roman Republic. From 5th century BC to 3rd century BC there were many internal wars in in different parts of the Italian Peninsula, such as the Veii wars, the Samnium Wars, the United Latin wars etc., but in about 270 BC the Italian Peninsula was also finally unified as a whole. From this point on, a foundation was established for the subsequent Roman Empire to conquer the Mediterranean and eventually built an empire that covered parts of Europe, Asia and Africa.... Both in the East and the West this episode of Halley visit seems to mark a huge turning point in human history.   

2) 66 AD  Halley Comet arrived:- In AD 54 Roman Emperor Claudius was poisoned by his ambitious wife Agrippina and his step son Nero, aided by his mother Agrippina, ascended as Emperor at the age of 17. However, in AD 59 Nero had Agrippina killed. In AD 62 also had his wife Octavia killed. Nero them married Poppaea but 3 years later Popaea was also killed and Nero married Statillia Massalina. In AD 64 great fire ravaged Rome. It was said that Nero set the fire to it himself in order to rebuild Rome in his own taste. In the end all his aids and friends abandoned him, Nero was obliged to flee Rome. In AD 69 he was caught and committed suicide. Sometime in these years Christianity began to take roots in Roman Empire. 

Between 70 and 72 AD, Flavian emperor Vespasian in Rome began to build the Colosseum, originally called Flavian Amphitheatre. Emperor Dominianus completed the structure in 82 AD, but he was later killed. I have included this episode of Halley visit because the thought of enjoying killing between men and men as well as between animal and men, as a public entertainment, would be unnatural even for human civilization 2000 years ago. Such wave of unnatural human behavior occurring in a large group simultaneously is probably due to strong stimulation or excitation of strange cosmic energy to the brain. More examples, both good and bad, are in the following  

3) 298 AD roughly:- After almost a century of anarchy or near anarchy the Roman Empire was restored by emperor Diocletian who ascended the throne in 284 AD. During the period of anarchy foreign religion Christianity spread into the empire from the East. Soon after Diocletian's restoration of Rome great persecution of Christians was prompted, reaching a peak towards 298 AD. The persecution spread out through the empire with extreme cruelty and violence. However, it was far too late to annihilate Christianity. In fact, it had only inflamed waves of Christian martyrs to blaze forth instead. By 305 AD Diocletian decided to abdicate and forced his companion emperor Maximian to abdicate with him. Later, Maximian restored briefly his title in order to install his son Maxentius as a co-emperor, which developed into series of tragedies and killings in the family of Constantine the Great.       

4) 374 AD :-  In 380 AD Rome Emperor Gratian in Rome and Emperor Theodosius in Constantinople jointly declared Christianity as the official religion of Rome Empire. In 382 AD Pope Damasus official pronounced the Supremacy of Rome. Damasus was also the first Pope to declare Rome as the Apostolic See, to denote it as that established by the Apostle St. Peter, the founder of the Christian church. Pope Damasus then began to suppress heresy and established centuries of supreme authority of the church in Europe that led to the medieval Dark Age.... Meanwhile, Dec 25th was a long existing date of Pagan festival. However, in Rome this day was chosen by emperor Aurelian in AD 274 as the birthday of the unconquered sun, which at the winter solstice begins again to show an increase of light. Then in the Eastern Roman Empire capital Constantinople, Pope Gregory of Naziansus delivered in year 380 AD in his 38th oration on the festival of Theophany that Jesus appeared to men and was born in the flesh, also in 381 AD in his 39th oration, on Epiphany, the festival of lights, commemorating the baptism of Jesus, the true light. And in time, Dec 25th was celebrated as the Feast of the Nativity, commemorating the birth of Jesus, although both in history and in Bible there was no record of Jesus' birthday. Thus, the supreme authority of Catholic church was begun during this episode of Halley visit. Halley comet has a habit of arriving at the most potent junctions of human history.       

5) 451 AD:- In year 451 AD, the Goths invaded and broke into Rome. The Roman Empire's capital was moved to Ravenna. In March  455 AD Emperor Valentiniannus III was killed. In 476 AD leader of mercenaries Odoaker abolished the last Roman Emperor Romulus Augustus, which spelled the end of Roman Empire. From here on, Europe fell into roughly 700 years of Dark Ages (5th century to roughly the 13th century AD). This was also the period Roman Catholic Church (The Medieval Christendom) ruled supreme in Europe, and traditions of arts as well as urban life practically ceased to function when heretics were burnt alive and earlier social orders disintegrated. Roman civilization, hence European civilization, collapsed during all those centuries until the arrival of Renaissance. The year AD 451 was therefore also a great turning point in history.      

6) 528 and 607 AD:- These two episodes of Halley comet's visit fall within the European Dark Ages. I have neglected the events in Europe, not only because the historic records of this era have been mostly destroyed or kept secret by the church authority, but also they are not nice and boring. However, in the Middle East (Mecca) around 610 AD (5 years after Halley's visit) Mohammad, founder of Islam religion, had a vision. He saw a majestic figure, later said to be the Angel Gabriel, who told him "You are the Messenger of God". So, from this point on Mohammad started to build the religion of Islam. Meanwhile, in China a famous monk, Chen Shien Zhuang, popularly known as San Zhuan ( ) was born in AD 600 (about 5 years before Halley's visit). San Zhuan was sent by the emperor of Tang dynasty Tai Jhong to India to study and bring back Buddhism. When he came back from India with all the Sutras to Chang An, then the capital of China, a great temple was built to accommodate the monk and the books. From this point on Buddhist religion was officially and firmly established in China, although it had already entered China before Tang dynasty.  This could have the period when the great culture of Moche in Peru might have fallen due to more than half a century of great rains followed by draught.          

7) 682 AD :-  In China, Empress Wu Jer Tien ascended in 683 AD to rule her husband's empire, the Tang dynasty, then in 690 AD (8 years after Halley) she declared the demise of Tang dynasty and began her own Zhou (Wu) dynasty, which was put down 15 years later, in 705 AD (a very strange occurrence in Chinese history)      　

8) 758 AD:- In 756 AD King Pepin III of Charlemagne Empire invaded and acquired the land of Lombardi, which he then offered to Pope Stephen II as a present. This marked the beginning of territorial rule by a religion, the Catholic Church. The church then became a sovereign power and ruled with its own army and navy. The presentation of land and the political rule by a church are both unusual in history.    

9) The following episodes of Halley comet's approximate visit, i.e. 837 AD;  913 AD; 989 AD;1066 AD and 1143 AD, fall also under the period of European Dark Ages. During these centuries European history became dark and blurred. I have therefore neglected them. The Halley influences, if any, could only be negative, except in China. In this period China was at her peak of her cultural achievements under the Sung dynasty. Arts and literatures of this period are considered to be at all time height in Chinese history...  

10) 1066 AD:-  In Spring of 1066 AD Halley Comet arrived. On Oct 14th 1066 AD King Horald II, the last of Anglo Saxon Kings, was killed in the battle of Hastings by Norman invaders, King William the Conqueror, thus ending the Anglo Saxon rule in English history.... 

11) 1220 AD:-  Mongolian Ghengis Khan organized the first military campaign westwards. The years of 1220 and 1221 saw the razing of Bukhara, Samaekand, Herat, Tus, Nshipur and the slaughter of whole population. Ghenghis Khan  conquered Iran, Iraq, Persia and part of Russia, and in all 4 military campaigns during the next one cycle of Halley comet's visit (76 years) the Mongolians went as far as the European river Danau or Danube (now Austria). Multiple millions were killed under the Mongolian arrows. Later Europe was spared because Kublai Khan and his sons turned their interests towards China, where they finally settled down... Kublai Khan, who became emperor of China withdrew from Middle East and Europe completely, was born in 1215 and died in 1294 between 2 episodes of Halley visits. The Mongolian invasion of Middle East, Russia and Europe had wakened up the dormant European Dark Ages and brought many new things and knowledge to the West  

12) 1301 AD:-  Marco Polo returned to Venice from China in 1295. He brought things and ideas from China. Gun powder was passed from China to the Arabs in 1304 from where it reached Europe.  In AD 1309 the Roman Catholic Church moved to Avignon in France. In Rome the authority fell into the hands of Colonna family. .   

13) 1375 AD:- In 1377 AD Roman Catholic Church moved back to Rome. The desertion of Popes from their papal seat from Rome to France marked one whole cycle of Halley comet's orbit. i.e. about 76 years. During this period the prestige of Papacy had fallen so low that it was possible for mercenaries in French to pay under French leadership to harass and humiliate the Pope with impunity. Pope Boniface VIII was arrested in his own family palace, an incident later referred to as "Babylonian Captivity".  

14) 1453 AD:- Leonardo Da Vinci was born in 1452 and Michelangelo was born in 1475. These twin apexes of artistic civilization seems to answer for the 1st and 2nd wave of Halley comet's influences at the height of European Renaissance. Cristopher Columbus was born in 1457. In 1450, the first repeatable Printing Press was made in Europe by Johannes Gutenberg of Germany. This episode of Halley arrival seems to have unusually benefited European Renaissance. From here on European military might and civilization boomed. 

15) 1531 AD:- In 1528-9 An epidemic or pandemic of unknown "sweating" disease swept through Europe. It started in England, spread to Hamburg, Scandinavia, then onto Lithuania, Poland, Russia as well as Netherlands. The pandemic was very severe with very high mortality rate. A second wave of Sweating disease occurred in 1551. It was fully recorded and described by Physician John Caius who was practicing in Shrewsbury in 1551 when an epidemic recurred. The illness began with headache, giddiness, and severe prostration, and after one to three hours violent drenching sweat came on, followed by severe headache, delirium and rapid pulse, death occurred 3 to 18 hours later. It appears this is the work of some unknown virius.      

In 1532 the Inca Empire was conquered by the Spaniard Francisco Pisarro with less than 200 soldiers.  Nicholas Copernicus published his important "Six Books Concerning the Revolution of Heavenly Orbs" in 1543, the year of his death. But he wrote those books some years earlier, because he dared not publish them until he was lying in his death bed. His work marked the beginning of modern science and belief (a huge turning point in history).

16) 1605 AD :- Between 1604 and 1613 AD Russia plunged into a period of major confusion. In 1604 Poland supported Otrepiev who pretended to be a Russian Prince and invaded Russia. In 1605, Otrpiev proclaimed himself as Emperor of Russia. The next year the Polish forces were driven out. Then came Bolotnilov peasant revolt and again invasion by Poland and Sweden. Later, Moscow was recovered by Russian volunteer forces, who then promoted Mikhail in 1613 as Emperor of Russia (Another strange political phenomenon).    

In 1609 Johannes Kepler published his "New Astronomy" showing the first true picture of the solar system. In the same year,1609, Galileo built the first telescope. Both historic events opened the door for modern science. All Copernicus, Kepler and Galileo's works were carried out under the duress of the church, and were all under unnatural circumstances.

17) 1665 AD:- In 1656 Edmond Halley was born. In 1666 London experienced a horrific outbreak of bubonic plaque that killed one person in every five. On Nov 1682 6.30 AM Edmond Halley observed the Halley Comet. 

In 1687 AD Issac Newton published "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy", which is one of the most important single works in the history of modern science. I have no need to introduce further details here. The brain activities of great men, such as Leonardo Da Vince, Michelangelo, Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Newton and the like, who are already gifted, could have been boosted and enhanced by the Halley effect to well above the ordinary human capacities, and made them great geniuses among humans.. This period was in the Renaissance, the favorably rising social environments were ready for the comet's extra assistance, just as during Dark Ages, the negatively ebbing social conditions added by the cosmic fluctuations could only result in prolonged and aggravated detriments .     

18) 1758 AD:- Halley Comet return for the first time a predicted by Edmond Halley. 

Following the British war with the French and the Indians both in Northern America, there was also the Pontiac's War in 1763/4. These wars proved to be costly, and the British began to lose some colonies in America. Yet instead, the British crown demanded the Americans people to pay for the costs of those wars. This started the Americans to demand independence. Of course war ensued. But in 1776 America proclaimed independence. France at first secretly assisted the Americans in 1778/9 and then openly declared war against Britain too. All these happened within 20 years after the Halley visit. The French participation of American Independence led to her own well known great revolution in 1787 reaching a climax in 1889. Both American Independence and French Revolution resulted in Declaration for Right of Man, which was the fore bearer of Human Rights.     

In about 1759 Robert Clive of East India Company won the Battle of Plassey and became the Master and Governor of Bengal, India. In 1765 (6 years after Halley) he reorganized his colony. The power of East India Company was later effectively taken over by the British government from 1773 onwards (also a 2nd wave effect 14 years after Halley), which marks the beginning and turning point of the British Empire as the territorial dominion in India. It was unusual that a trading company would have its own army, navy as well as a colony and was then succeeded by a government.  

Child musical genius Mozart was born in 1756, and Beethovan was born in 1770, probably both geniuses could have been stimulated or enhanced by the extra charge of energy during Halley visit. The strong charge of energy might have also caused Beethovan to go deaf.. The fact that Beethovan was deaf and yet could still sense and compose heavenly melodies, which are almost inhuman and still unsurpassable today was probably due to the extra charge of well composed energies in the solar system during this epoch of natural evolution, because somehow this visit and the next visit of the comet appear to have brought about unparalleled musical influences that have become beyond comprehension....         

19) 1835 AD :- At the end of 18th century the English stared to introduce opium into China through the East India Co. It was said to stop pains. So for the next 3 to 4 decades everybody in China, from government officials to the peasants, was stopping pains. Special furniture were designed for smokers. Soon everybody was in reclining positions and everything they had owned went up in smoke. The Chinese government repeatedly tried to prohibit it without success and negotiations with the British proved also fruitless. So in 1838 one official confiscated over 20,000 cases of opium from the British and burnt them. War started. The British forces broke into many southern cities and was marching northwards towards Peking. The Ching dynasty crown, then ruled by ignorant grandma Empress Chu Shi, got scared and conceded to the British under the Nanking Treaty in 1842 (7 years after Halley), when Ching had to pay for all British costs. Also Hong Kong was given as a Colony. It was reported that the corrupt official responsible for the treaty told the Ching imperial court that Hong Kong was but the size of a "Sesame Seed". The name got stuck! Sesame Seed became the nickname for Hong Kong (An unbelievable event in history).  

This was followed by a much worse second wave. One Hong Siu Cuan began in 1843 AD (8 years after Halley) to organize the "Heavenly Father, Heavenly Brother, Heavenly Peace Kingdom", claiming to be the second son of Catholic God. It was the only large scale religious revolution ever occurred in China. Bloody revolt broke out in Dec 1850 (15 years after Halley), which lasted another 14 years and took over 16 Chinese provinces (Another example of unusual human brain activity). Millions died in the revolt.

Chopin composed his first major works Études and Ballade between 1835 and 1836 (right on Halley arrival) at the age of about 25. Note: Musical notes are known to be linked to vibrations or rather the speeds of solar planets. It is perhaps possible that waves of musical interests and progress in the past were somewhat related to the Halley visit too! The present wave of popular music was started with the emergence of Kara Oke in 1989, well before the surge of video. This writer had even predicted the rising trend of music before 1989 and have mentioned it in the first one of these two letters... 

Alfred Nobel was born in Oct 1833. By the age of 16 he was already fluent in English, French, German, Russian and  Swedish. Men of extraordinary capacities bearing great consequence to human society, and are born close to the time of Halley comet's visit, might have been charged with unusual cosmic energy during embryonic development before birth. Nobel was a man of many talents, and his riches were unrivaled in his time, yet he never got married. Many great geniuses and great works in history were inspired by love, but these geniuses lived alone, probably because they needed the extreme and the completely undisturbed concentration. His Nobel Prize has been also an unprecedented encouragement to intellectual achievements since his death. His existence depicts another extraordinary corner stone in modern history... 

This year (1835) the Roman Catholic Cathedral (St. Paul) in Macau was burnt to ground for the 3rd time. Now only the front part and stairs remain. 15 years later (1850) the Christian military revolt of "Heavenly Father, Heavenly Brother and Heavenly Peace Kingdom" began in China and took over 16 provinces. Made Nanjing (then Nanking) their Capital in trying to take over the country. Fighting lasted nearly 15 years when a couple of millions died. Finally Nanjing wall city was broken in and leader Hung Siu Chuen who proclaimed to be the heavenly brother of Jesus, the second son of God, committed suicide.      

20) 1910 AD:- In Italy musical genius Puccini Giocomo wrote "Madam Butterfly" in 1904. 

In Russia, Lenin started the well known October Revolution in 1917 (7 years after Halley). Elsewhere, 1st World War began in 1914 and finished in 1918 (8 years after Halley). Then Spanish Flu in 1918-1919 took some estimated 25 to 50 million lives. In China, child Emperor abdicated in 1911. KMT government took over China. Second wave is followed by Sino-Japanese war of 1937 and 2nd World war, leading to atom bomb at Hiroshima.  

21) 1986 AD:- HIV-AIDS was first discovered in about 1979, initially among homosexuals. By 1986 it began to spread among other sexual partners.

In 1989 a group of emotional students occupied the Beijing Tien An Men, the parliamentary square for 58 days, refusing to disperse and demanding immediate change of national political structure. It alerted me to the effects of alley comets arrival. I wrote to senior leader Deng Xiao Ping, suggesting to start open-door policy with bolder steps and prepare for a world wide surge in musical interests, etc.. It appeared that China had timely ridden the wave of Halley comet's stimulation and started an surge of constructive energies never known in human history. This enormous agricultural community in the world suddenly turned into a top ranking industrial nation in the time of just about one short decade. Now looking back, such a vast scale will power, enthusiasm and energy from the entire population appears to have been boosted by some extra cosmic stimulations. 

In 1990 Russia opted for multi party system. Ukraine and Belarus declared independence. In 1991 under President Yeltsin the old Soviet Union broke up. In Germany 1990 was the year of reunion when Berlin wall was pulled down. 

The first Gulf war was in 1991 and followed by 2nd Gulf war in 2002. The effect of this 2nd wave is still brewing and steaming away with long term consequences. In the 1st Gulf War, four ex-heads of states, i.e. Nixon, Keath, Brandt and Tanaka, went to Baghdad to persuade Saddam to get out of Kuwait, but Saddam declined. He thought he could fight with 38 nations and half million coalition army. In the 2nd Gulf War, Saddam Hussein's military capacities were already shuttered in the 1st Gulf War, but Saddam fought on with multination coalition forces. President Mubarak of Egypt offered Saddam safe-haven but was refused. It appeared the brain of such an experienced national leader, Saddam, was strongly and fatally affected by the comet energy...    

In 2005 natural disasters like Tsunami in South East Asia, Storm in New Orleans and earthquake in Cashmere. In 2006 great earthquake occurred in Indonesia. There is also the scare of Bird Flu not yet finished.

In 29th July 2006 evening the TV program "60 Minutes Plus" in Hong Kong carried a story about journalist Miss Leslie Staw interviewing 2 blind boys and one girl, born under the present episode of Halley visit, each with strong mental and physical disability but miraculously gifted with inexplicable musical talents, including instant improvisation, rearrangement, even composition of music on piano right after hearing some unfamiliar songs. The older boy was born around the time of 1st Gulf War, which correspond to the 1st wave of Halley effect. The two younger boy and girl were born about 15 years later, which correspond to the 2nd wave of Halley effect. These 3 miraculous instances confirm my theory, without further doubt in my mind, that musical geniuses are often born with, or influenced by, extraordinary charges of planetary radiations brought on by Halley comet's visit and that the effect is split into 2 waves. In all these 3 cases, the extra charge of planet energy was so strong that caused strong birth defects, yet turned the affected children into inexplicable super musical creatures. Such gifts cannot be acquired by normal people, let alone impaired person.  

More discussions are given in the attached two letters... This episode seems to bring about a heat wave of suicidal motivations, for instance, the stone throwing kids in Gaza, the suicidal bombers everywhere, Saddam Hussein's suicidal invasion of Kuwait and his suicidal attempt to face 38 nation coalition forces, September 11th's suicidal air crash, many strange and unprecedented suicidal policies of politicians. (For instance, Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi seems determined to continue senseless provocation by whipping up terrible memories of the cruel and inhuman deeds of the 2nd World War. It appear he won't relent until something happens to Japan. Perhaps he doesn't want the Asian markets for Japanese goods, or he is determined not to apply for a seat in UN's Security Council). There was also a marked increase in suicides of Hong Kong citizens towards end of 2005, including two teachers and one mother (of a supposedly happy family) who suddenly left home with her 3 year old daughter and jumped from her hotel window to her death. The motives to suicide of these 3 seemingly normal people are still a mystery..... Suicides ranged all the way even to suicidal whales and more. Perhaps we could call the present fashionable trend "A Suicidal Wave". On the 20th Jan 2006, one very distressed deep sea whale, 6 meters long, somehow got badly disorientated, or went berserk and swam through the Thames River right into the center of London city. This is another example of brain wave disturbance.. Unfortunately, this whale died before rescuers could put it back to sea. So, in the end, this whale really committed suicide too.  

One other significant coincidence, if it is a coincidence at all, is China's sudden rise in the recent years! China was able to ride the up surging energy of the comet. Deng Xiao Ping established Shen-Zhen city right on the arrival of Halley comet in 1984. It was the first move that would lead to China's reformation and modernization. China's new social and economic development have become well above the usual of any known national development in global history. This largest mass of humanity has been able to change at will directly from a traditionally agricultural community to space age nation as well as the biggest exporter of  information technology equipments in a span of less than 20 years. Literally countless new houses, roads, traffic equipments, hospitals and every other conceivable kind of national infra-structures, including sport related structures, have been successfully built and put to use without major hitch also in those few short years. This, of course, is only possible because of the capacity and majority of her long intellectual and sober civilization as well as the qualities of her present leadership. But I also attribute such extra super energy to be a typical example of stimulation by the Halley Comet, whose visit coincided exactly with this very same span of time. What's more, it was for such reasons that these two political letters were written in 1989 and 1990. China in fact is demonstrating to the rest of mankind that it is possible to achieve success, or even greatness, without any military conquest or any other aggressive undertakings... Without any doubt, the labours and good will of the contemporary Chinese government will go down history in praise! 

In the aspect of music, a whole contingent of musical talents have emerged recently. Two absolutely talented young Chinese pianist suddenly embarked onto the world stage. They are Lang Lang and Li Yun Di. Also Cellist Yo Yo Ma had immigrated to the States, I think. Recently (Jan 2007) I have seen a news program in "60 Minutes" showing 3 American children, name Rex, Rachel and Derek, who are clearly blind and severely disabled, but possessing miraculous musical genius. All these young talents were born within the time period after Halley comet's arrival... This appears to be rather clear confirmation for my theory...    

Presuming that I am right, then at this moment of writing, the influence from the last Halley comet's visit is still continuing. Hopefully the final consequence would be good only, because human ideological and cultural conflicts always leads to extremely costly and lasting blood shed, which go much deeper than wars initiated by territorial or material ambitions. Any modern conventional wars could end up eventually in nuclear war, which had already begun in the last World War. Therefore, the next big war, especially under coalition of warring parties of either nations or smaller armed groups, could still escalate to large wars, and build the background for nuclear war, depending on  how long and how strong the desire to make war would persist, and also how much and how far the human will of revenge would ultimately go. 

The losers of a first wave of war often goes on to create some years later a bigger 2nd wave of war, e, g. 1st and 2nd World War. Even an earthquake can have a second After Shock, because all energy waves must eventually reach equilibrium before peace can return. Unnecessary coalition of warring parties could bring forth unnecessary coalesced retaliations. Therefore, modern wars are mutually costly and destructive, and have no winners, nor heroes. They are gambles not just for the nations and groups involved, but for the whole human kind as well.  This was the reason I wrote the related letters to politicians in 1989 and 1990. It is also why I point out that the human nature is still raw, despite roughly 150 generations of recorded intellectual evolution. It is also why I present herewith a collection of historic examples, showing the extents of human brain waves that could be unconsciously energized and stimulated by nature's forces, causing out of normal phenomena and forcing history to turn a new direction.  I think there is no need for me to describe in details what the next world war would be like, if and when it occurred. Yet, such a war is possible because when a wave of cosmic energy surges, not just one single political leader's brain would be affected, but the whole human kind's brains are simultaneously and unconsciously affected. That's when and how wars really get going...          

                                            --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note:- The social energy and ecological energy are both cumulative energies. They can slowly accumulate for a long time and almost ready for explosion, then the addition of a small additional energy could set off a sudden eruption, such as an earthquake or a political revolution. The above list of historic events seems to mark some of the most important corner stones of human civilization over the past 2 millenniums. Are they all co-incidents? The timing of these historic events appears to correlate with the arrival of Halley comet's visits and appear to confirm my suspicion that additional turbulence in solar energy field is likely to aggravate or stimulate the human brain activities well beyond the normal, both good and bad, causing some of the great changes in history. Some of these changes are turning moments in civilization, others seem to jolt human behavior far beyond normal proportions resulting in strangeness. These changes are difficult to delineate and attribute to Halley's influence, because they include both god and bad concurrently. 

The influence seems to come in two waves. The first wave begins within 7 years before the comet's nearest approach to the sun. The initial effects may or may not be noticeable, e.g. the tiniest living organs on earth, i.e. viruses, may begin to mutate with or without causing harms to humans, and background energies for social change begin to sprout and take shape. Then sometime during the subsequent 9 years after the comet's arrival the energy explodes into actions and historic events manifest with ferocity. However, frequently a second wave of social energy would follow in the next 10 to 20 years, similar to "After Quake" or "After Shock" of earthquakes. This second wave rises as a consequence of the first wave and could produce a wider and more permanent resultant social change until the energies of both waves are finally even out. By that time, a corner stone in history has been established. 

Recently there had been some reports that NASA is planning to blow up approaching comets that may hit the earth. I would suggest not to blow up any of nature's balance yet, especially Halley comet, or any comets, or whatever their tiniest influence on earth, unless such cosmic projectiles really endangers earth, or at least until all scientists have thoroughly studied and understood the full effects of comet's visit, because to me Halley seems to be a catalyst that gives an extra kick to nature's evolution. It could have served as an extremely important extra facility of the solar system, that causes living things to initiate changes or mutation, and then evolve, and finally reorganize, and then renormalize, say once every 76 years. In other words, the comet visits could be an important key to the evolution on our earth. And we certainly don't want to blow it up or disturb it unless we know exactly what we are doing. There are some comets that have orbits of 2 to 3 thousands year, perhaps these comets could have triggered off the ages of civilization, such as the Neolithic, the Bronze and the Nuclear ages...   

If this theory is true, which boils down to say that Halley comet's arrival does excite fluctuations in the radiation field of the solar system with resultant consequences, then it is reasonable to deduce that the smallest living organs, such as viruses, would be forced to mutate during the period of cosmic disturbances. As to when and how the mutation might take place, it would depend on environment conditions at the time, and also on the type of viruses, whether the mutation is harmful to humans or not. I suppose during the endless course of evolution the human and animal physical functions, as well as the ecological activities have acquired certain habitual momentum or balance, which we regard as nature. So in times of cosmic energy fluctuation the characteristics of habitual brain functions could be excited beyond the norm, both good and bad, but always new. This assumption is probably useful in the understanding and prevention of harmful virus mutation. Perhaps historians could dig out much more past records than I can here and now, which would be nice... Besides, knowledge leads to control, and controlled virus mutation may lead to cultivation of new viruses for medical use....  This list of events is by no means complete, but I will leave the rest for others to research and to confirm or reject.    

Last words on possible effect of Halley Comet::-  (This part was relocated here from the 2nd letter)

I put these letters on the Internet because they were written in Dec1989 and Dec1990. At the time there were great changes taking place in Russian and in China. Africa was plagued with famines and diseases. Great flood in Bangladesh took 110,000 lives. Kids in Gaza were throwing stones at soldiers with machine guns. Whales were committing suicide in groups. World economy was down. Hong Kong was about to change sovereignty. Everywhere uncertainty loomed. Suddenly Saddam Hussein jumped to action and invaded Kuwait. Tension began to build. The US led 38 nation allied forces and war machines were piling up in the region, demanding Saddam to withdraw from Kuwait. Saddam refused. Then four ex-heads of states, i.e. Nixon, Keath, Brandt and Tanaka, went to Baghdad to persuade Saddam to get out of Kuwait, but Saddam declined. So the world fell into great apprehension.  If Saddam had listened to those retired statesmen, he would have enjoyed a much improved reputation and prestige at that time, but instead Saddam's brain turned to jelly. All these were phenomena that would not have happened at any normal times....   

I had been studying astrology and cosmology with related astronomy for some years. Historically there had been many alarming warnings about the arrival of Halley Comet, although without explanations or proof. Anyhow I too suspected it could have been the Halley Comet's disturbance, which arrived at very end of 1985. In fact, practically on the day of Halley's arrival, Reagen and Gorbachev embraced each other in Geneva, ending decades of Cold War. It seemed scientifically sound to me that sudden arrival of comet could disrupt the normalcy of the solar energy field, in which all lives on earth live and evolve, also upon which seasons depend. So I look up history of comet visits and found a somewhat vague but visible pattern, which led me to the following deductions:-  When the comet approaches the solar system, we don't feel its effect. It begins when the comet enters near the sun, then things begin to happen as its volume expands. The normalcy of human brain activity begins to alter in increasing strength. This is when new ideas and new directions begin to emerge. However the greatest effect occurs only when the comet leaves the established energy system. As it affects all people, it brings about a wave of stimulated social events. 

The effect of comet departure from earth environment appears to create a kind of drag in the planetary emission, which is stronger and more disturbing than its effects on entry. The drag disturbs the normalcy of our weather and animals micro electric brain waves, producing famines and social changes for about 9 years after the comet departure. To some people the effect is good, to other it's bad, depending on the trend of development at the comet's entry. To those who are affected, the effects are very irrational, and irrational actions could continue to chain react and evolve into greater consequences. Halley comet's previous arrival was in 1910 and the 1st World War ended in 9 years later (1919), but Germany lost the war, which energized the will of the 2nd World War. Here in China, the last imperial dynasty ended in 1911, right after the comet's arrival. In 1918 Chiang Kai Sek took his forces northwards and began internal war. Then soon after the 2nd World War, Chiang retreated to Taiwan. China changed government again... In 1918-1919 Spanish Flu killed an estimated 50 million people... (Note: I do realize that virus mutation is probably caused by a large number of reasons, both local and astral. Also not all virus are the same and not all mutations are harmful to humans. Yet somehow it makes sense that the fluctuations in cosmic radiation could be one of the more predictable causes). However, these letters and warnings were written about 15 years ago. It's the present problems of second Gulf War and Bird Flu that brings it back to notice...      

At the time of writing the second letter (Dec 1990) Saddam Hussein's brain seemed to be badly disturbed because many retired prominent world leaders went to persuade Saddam to withdraw from Kuwait. Saddam could have withdrawn and enjoyed the increased prestige, but he chose to fight against US and the coalition. To me, that was entirely nuts!..... I thought what if every politician also went nuts, the result could be catastrophic. So I too decided to get wet by writing gentle warnings to the politicians, but to do that I had to introduce Nostradamus' predictions and demonstrate with my own astrological predictions (because astrology is the study of changing patterns of solar planet's energies. Comet's arrival would aggravate those patterns). The 1st letter dated Dec 6th 1989 was quite accidental, but the 2nd letter was intentional.. I decided to send it not only to Beijing but to various other channels. It so happens that the contents of both these letters are still valid today, even though 15 years have passed. The actions that were taken during the years of the Comet's close encounter with earth and the consequences are still continuing, e.g. 2nd Gulf War's lingering effect is still continuing; Saddam's Hussein is now awaiting trial, Iraq's unrest seems to be escalating as bombs are blasting away on daily bases (up until winter of 2005), and Israel is scheduled to withdraw from Gaza in Aug 2005, but bloodshed is still going on. Four bombs have just gone off in London. It appears that the whole Muslim world is affected, or going to be affected, if the situation continues... (There seems to be no end of supply of suicidal bombers, and still on the increase. It is quite unimaginable that any person, and in such numbers, would give up life for the sake of Saddam Hussein, or even for the sake of losing a war, or whatever. The root cause appears to be something more fundamental and disparaging. It should not be further inflamed until it's out of proportion, because such waves of suicidal phenomena in both human and animal have not been observed in all recent history. I hope that if these letters had ever dome any good in between end of 1989 and 1995, the peak of Halley influence, then let it do some more good now !But that would need compassion between men, and forbearance towards my writings!      

Part of Eastern Europe has not entirely settled down in comfort and stability yet, but it will. Only China works hard to ride along the Comet influence in a positive pace and has already benefited enormously by embracing courageously and whole heartedly peace, friendship and concurrently all sorts of development through those years. In fact, in my views, China had no choice but to go full ahead in those years. If China had hesitated, the cosmic energy could have turned inwards and become self conflicting. The internal hesitancy and continued external interference could have resulted in unimaginable chaos. This could have affected also peaceful developments in Russia, India, Pakistan, in fact, the whole East and then chain react to the rest of world.... Today, many politicians and religious politicians, not just in the Middle East or in the West, but also in some small countries in the Far East, are still unaware that they are creating not just more internal turmoil and instability, but also conditions that could eventually inflame the whole world in this nuclear age... Fifteen years ago, I went through indescribable inner struggles as I put down those words and added those unusual predictions (especially as a scientists), particularly because at the time my own life too was badly affected by the comet disturbance. But I had to do it!.... 

Now records of past events show that the writing I undertook was right, at least intentionally right. Thanks to Deng Xiao Ping's great wisdom and direction... And thankfully many, if not most, of my astrological predictions had turned out to be accurate... These two translated letters, and more, were later sent to Dr. B.B. Ghali for UN's 50th Anniversary (see UN letter 1995 ). Now, on the eve of UN's 60th birthday (Oct 2005), I expose these newly edited old writings. I have improved the translations, split the long paragraphs into more readable ones, but retaining the original substances, then I inserted some additional notes and reflections in different color (brown color as you are now reading). By exposing the possible effect of Halley Comet, no matter I had been right or wrong, I may be offering a consideration that Saddam Hussein might not be the only one who had been affected by the comet effect. In fact, every one had been affected to some extent, but thankfully no one took drastic action like Saddam Hussein, and many important political leaders showed restrain in those years. Perhaps they had been fore-warned. However, if I had been right about the comet effect, then its chain reactions are still reverberating. I can only hope that I was wrong, or that human logics and love of peace will prevail!  Meanwhile, let's all hope that someday UN will celebrate her 1000th birthday and by that time the world have become truly a close family!!!.

Finally, In 1989 and 1990 letters I highly praised the virtues of democracy, but clearly I also brought up and expanded the virtues of Confucian philosophy of democracy in both letters. The hope was to bridge an understanding between the two political ideals, and to explain why there were so much commotion and demand for democracy. My efforts seemed to have done some good at the time. Thanks to the wisdom of Mr. Deng again. Of course, the Confucian ideal is little known outside China and its old form is largely out of shape and partially forgotten by contemporary scholars, although obviously not to Mr. Deng. Therefore, in 1989 and 1990 I had no need to write too much at the time, but here and now I need to supplement these letters with more notes and reflections. I also need to declare that I had over praised democracy in those original letters for a good reason.. I believe an important hint lies in my description of 5 dimensions, where I emphasized that "Timing" and "Location" or "Environment" are the 4th and 5th dimensions. Although these extra dimensions are metaphoric terms, these 5 dimensions can illustrate both East and West philosophies (read 1st letter). Everything does evolve with time and environment and gets old, sick, then perishes. Nothing lasts forever! Perhaps it's time we should all strive to shake loose the old skin or old shell, and transform into new and enlarged beings, not only for the nuclear age, but also for the cosmological age that we are now living in.... 

If we can believe that science is exact and that energies of nearby solar system do affect our weather, temperature and seasons, then we can believe that the same energies must also affect the human brain, hence the human individual and social behaviors. And even if the great majority of humans are strong enough to resist the uncharacteristic energies, the most basic living organs in nature, such as viruses of HIV (AIDS), Spanish Bird Flu, H5N(x), or SARS, might easily be bombarded by the abnormal cosmic radiations and forced to mutate. Such basic living organs must have been the first to catch the changing cosmic energies and become unusually vigorous, until such a time when the entire environmental energy system return to normalcy again. The Spanish Flu killed some 50 million lives about 9 years after Halley's arrival, and the precursor of AIDS was discovered a few years before Halley's arrival, when also suddenly a wave of homosexual activities becomes evident. The actual out burst of HIV-AIDS actually occurred right on and after the comet arrival. The viruses mutation could have taken shape unnoticed a few years before the outburst into a HIV-AIDS pandemic. And now gay marriage has become legalized..  

I have illustrated by giving a number of predictions based on patterns of solar planets' energies. When a comet enters the system, it's bound to alter or aggravate those solar energies, even if the comet is not as strong as a planet, but could still affect the human brain. Halley comet's last arrival was at end of 1985. Judging from its previous visits, it seems to create a disturbing drag of energy especially after its departure and cause great social changes for at least 9 years. Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in Aug 1990 at the height of this disturbance. His brain was clearly affected, considering that he thought he could fight the forces of US led 38 nations coalition. Strictly speaking, not just the stone throwing kids in Gaza, but Saddam and his aids were also committing an act of suicide.  But he was not alone, the same energies affected all humans, depending on the individual make-up and quality of brain behavior. Here in this part of the world it was quite evident that the students and the Chinese Premier Zhou Zee-Yang (by sound) were also badly affected by the abnormal energy during the Tien An Men turmoil in 1989. 

In Tien An Men incident, one can easily observe the abnormal influence on human behavior in 2 incidences. One is that how can a group of normally intelligent college students, all acting like a bunch of spoiled youth who must have their own ways straight away, demanding immediate change in the fundamental daily functions of an enormous national government by refusing to disperse after 58 days of forcefully occupying the national parliamentary square, where government business are conducted. Surely, students may be young and inexperienced, but many of those who prompted and supported those students were grown ups, amongst whom there were professors, some known political experts, activists, even agitators and financiers who must have realized what they were doing and have perfectly anticipated that if emotional demands continued and persisted, and if laws and orders totally failed, the final results could only be nothing short of catastrophic for the students as well as for the local government. Perhaps not only the students but those grown ups who pumped up those youth to persist their forceful demands were also out of their mind too. 

At any rate, those grown up and outsiders were partially responsible. Democracy is in itself a civilized process that seeks peaceful equilibrium and which proclaims respect for the majority views and reasons. The process requires time and thorough examinations of past and present conditions as well as background developments, then through rational discussions and finally majority consent in order to institute changes, if any. Democratic actions are not unrelenting demands of some youthful students who were so emotionally agitated that they dictated or commanded, even tried to bring down the mode and function of a huge national government right on the spot. Therefore to me, people have gone nuts! ... Another observation was even more abnormal and alarming. i.e. how can an experienced national leader and well trained politician suddenly broke into tears, like Niagara Falls, in front of the whole world to watch? And how can the biggest nation on earth be suddenly ruled by the emotional demand of students and tears of national leader, who were ordinarily intelligent and highly logical people? And what happened to Saddam Hussein's brain that preferred the suicidal path instead of increased integrity? Then why do the whales chose to commit suicide as well, and kids in Gaza were throwing stones at soldiers with machine guns These behaviors were all clearly suicidal and definitely crazed. Clearly some most unusual forces were at work!.. And now we are in the second wave of suicides, plus tsunami, earthquakes and great floods, also huge mining or traffic accidents almost every week.   

You see, the human brains were under cosmic pressure to turn berserk suddenly during the years between 1985 and 1994. These things seem to come in waves. I have also used astrology and planetary influences to predict many events. So I suspected it must be Halley comet's doing. I even suspected that the first wave of sudden change probably produces a reaction to cause a bigger secondary wave.  The independence of America occurred during one of the Halley's visits. French participation of American Independence led to her own Great Revolution some one and half decade later. One event seemed to have echoed the other. Halley comet's previous visit was in 1910. In China the last emperor abdicated in 1911. But China changed government right after the 2nd World War. The first World War broke out and ended 9 years after comet's arrival. Only it didn't stop altogether. A decade or two later it caused the 2nd World War because Germany had lost the war and German people elected Corporal Hitler 14 years after end of 1st World War (Note: Hitler was elected in 1933 under the fever of patriotism to become the "Führer", or "Leader". Again these events seemed to have echoed the previous events. Since the 2nd World War 3 generations of human life have come to live on earth. Had there been a electoral system in the 1930s that could have checked and screened the qualities of a candidate, the world today could have been enriched by millions more of Ph.Ds and constructors to greatly enhance living conditions for all peoples. That's why the Western style democracy needs a general over haul and improvement ). 

Now the 1st Gulf War occurred 15 years ago. Clearly both the 2nd Gulf War and the 2nd World War are linked to their previous wars. But the Gulf war and the problems in the whole Middle East have not come to conclusions yet. Let's hope that all parties involved exercise restrain, simply because if cosmic energies could cause the human brains or whales to go berserk then it is possible to lead to a more unexpected war, say a potential nuclear war, or one that's in the making. It boils down to the fact that the choice of quality leadership is therefore a matter of paramount importance,  Perhaps the danger is hidden in the fact that the human gene qualities have not advanced sufficiently enough since the beginning of civilization, which began only some 150 generations ago. The danger also means it's the human brain that really triggers the nuclear weapons and not the weapons themselves. A wise and peace loving leader will always bring peace and positive aspirations to the benefit of the people, and the initiatives of wars. So let me repeat! The entire purpose and hope of electing a leader is not expressed in the magnitude of consenting votes, nor in the number of few winning votes, not even how the voting system is designed, but in the essence and hope of searching for the best possible leadership. 

There had been leaders like Hitler, Musollinni. Napoleon and dozens of others through out history who had first tasted the glory of success and ended in tragic failure. At the peak of their success, the mop would hail them as absolute heroes or undisputed leaders. Without doubt they would be chosen with 100% votes and many of them did get re-elected. But they failed ultimately, bringing only shame and untold disasters to their people because they did not have the true quality and wisdom of leadership. For instance, if Hitler had not decided to take Russia, he would not have sealed his own terrible fate. On the other hand, there was one leader, Genghis Khan, who was wise enough to drop all his conquest in Europe and settled down in China as emperor of Yuen dynasty. This was a man who was big enough not only to forget about Europe, but also to foresee that if he had not annexed his home land, Mongolia, to China and amalgamate their own culture with China, then soon after his own death, his people would have been obliterated by the dormant Chinese potential might. But if he was to amalgamate his people to China, he would permanently become part of that well earned civilization.. 

You see, it is the qualities of leaders which will ultimately be needed for decision making in times of emergencies, e.g. in wars, in famines and in times of natural disasters or in economic crisis. It is also the qualities of political leadership that are essential to generate the goodwill, the national unity, the national security, the entire future of the whole people and the harmony with the rest of mankind. The leader of a great nation needs to have a super great brain as well as a super great heart, and to make them work, he or she would need super great strength, not to express, but to impress self-restrain ... That is indeed the true and only reason of humans who vote to choose a leader in every nation on earth... This is also the sole direction and motivation of natural evolution and hence, civilization.... This is also I fully support a complete reformation of the present system of democracy
