🌄🇪🇨 Ecuador no deja de sorprender…
Impresionante toma aérea de las Pirámides de Zuleta. Desde las alturas, este enigmático complejo revela figuras geométricas casi perfectas que contrastan con el verde intenso de los Andes.
Un lugar que no solo guarda historia… guarda misterio.
¿Quién las construyó realmente?
¿Para qué servían?
Mientras el mundo mira a otras grandes civilizaciones, aquí en Ecuador tenemos vestigios igual de fascinantes… y aún poco valorados.
Entre montañas, nubes y silencio, el pasado sigue vivo.
📍 Zuleta, Ecuador

Between 2007 and 2012, scientists drilled deep into Greenland's ice as part of the NEEM project to uncover the climate story of the last interglacial around 125,000 years ago.

What they found puts today's climate panic into perspective.

Back then, Greenland was around 8C warmer than today. Sea levels were 4 to 8 meters higher.

Yet the planet didn't collapse and Greenland didn't melt. There were no tipping points and no mass extinctions. The planet was far warmer and life flourished.

So when activists claim that 2C of modern warming spells "catastrophe", the ice, the data and the history all say otherwise.

- Por qué no has dicho nada de Artemis II?🤬🤬

-Porque no es un canal dedicado a eso, pero acá te va un dato:

Si medimos manualmente la imagen en alta resolución de la NASA, recientemente tomada por la tripulación a bordo de la nave Orion, vemos que tiene unos 2.905 píxeles en el ecuador y unos 2.894 píxeles en el eje polar.

Eso da: 2905 / 2894 = 1.0038

Así que el ecuador aparece aproximadamente un 0,38% más ancho que el polo, por lo que laTierra de la imagen no es perfectamente redonda.

Y en la vida real, la Tierra tiene un diámetro ecuatorial de unos 12,756 km y un diámetro polar de unos 12,714 km.

Esa es una diferencia de alrededor del 0,33%.

Así que sí, la imagen coincide con la realidad: la Tierra no es una esfera perfecta, está ligeramente achatada en los polos, es un esferoide oblato.

🚨 THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE

🚨 🚨NOBODY UNDERSTANDS
WHAT THEY JUST TRIGGERED. 🚨 🚨

People always talk about Iranian oil in terms of barrels, but rarely about what’s actually inside them. That’s the key difference—and the reason Western refineries have quietly relied on back-channel networks through places like Dubai for years to keep getting it, even under sanctions.

Crude oil isn’t all the same. It’s a mix of hydrocarbons with different molecular weights, and that mix determines how easily it can be turned into the fuels refineries actually sell—like gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and heating oil. The main measure here is API gravity. Higher API means lighter crude that’s easier and cheaper to refine, and it produces more of those high-value fuels. Lower API means heavier crude that takes more energy, more processing, and more expensive equipment, while producing more low-value leftovers.

Iranian Light crude sits right in a sweet spot, with an API gravity around 33–36 and moderate sulfur levels. It’s light enough to produce a lot of gasoline and middle distillates without high costs, but not so light that it limits what refineries can make. In industry terms, it’s close to an ideal blend.

Now look at the alternatives.

Venezuela’s Merey crude is much heavier, with very low API gravity and high sulfur. Refining it profitably requires specialized, expensive equipment like cokers and hydrocrackers. Some refineries are built for that—but it’s not interchangeable with Iranian crude. It’s a completely different type of input.

On the other end, US West Texas Intermediate is very light and low in sulfur. Sounds perfect in theory, but in practice it’s almost too light. Many refineries—especially in Europe and Asia—are designed for medium-grade crude, so they can’t just switch to WTI. They often have to blend it with heavier oils to make it work.

That’s where Iranian crude stands out. It fits right into the middle of the system. It doesn’t need the heavy-duty processing of Venezuelan oil or the blending adjustments required for ultra-light US shale. That balance is why it’s consistently in demand and often priced at a premium. It also explains why countries like India kept buying it despite sanctions, and why those complex trading networks through Dubai existed in the first place.

The Strait of Hormuz isn’t just a route for oil—it’s a route for this specific kind of oil that global refineries are optimized to process. If that flow gets disrupted, it’s not just about losing supply. It’s about losing the type of crude the system runs most efficiently on, forcing refineries to adapt with less suitable alternatives.

That’s what’s really baked into oil prices like $82—not just how much oil is available, but what kind it is.

12 pacientes con cáncer metastásico. Melanoma, mama, riñón.

Les inyectaron un anticuerpo modificado (agonista de CD40) en un solo tumor. No fue por vía intravenosa.

El resultado: los tumores se redujeron en todo el cuerpo.

Dos de los 12 pacientes lograron la remisión completa. Los tumores inyectados no solo se redujeron, sino que fueron reemplazados por tejido inmunitario organizado, estructuras linfoides terciarias, que son esencialmente centros de entrenamiento para las células T que combaten el cáncer.

Cero efectos secundarios graves.

La idea es la siguiente: en lugar de saturar el cuerpo con inmunoterapia y esperar que encuentre el cáncer, convertir un tumor en una vacuna contra sí mismo. Entrenar el sistema inmunitario localmente. Dejar que actúe globalmente.

Actualmente, cerca de 200 pacientes participan en ensayos ampliados para el tratamiento de cánceres de vejiga, próstata y cerebro.

Los “periodistas”, activistas y personeros de las ONG pagadas por Open Society tienen ya 2 días afirmando que el informe de “los expertos y expertas de derechos humanos” sobre El Salvador no exige la liberación de TODOS los pandilleros detenidos desde que inició el Régimen de Excepción, pero sí lo exigen, y múltiples veces.

Ya que, si se acepta que el 100% de las detenciones son ARBITRARIAS (ver imagen 1), todo Estado estaría obligado AUTOMÁTICAMENTE a liberar al 100% de detenidos.

Nadie, y menos alguien que dice ser defensor de derechos humanos, puede argumentar que es legal mantener en prisión a una persona detenida ARBITRARIAMENTE.

Calificar una detención como arbitraria es sinónimo de exigir su liberación inmediata.

Ya lo dijeron los “expertos y expertas”, pero también lo dice varias veces el documento presentado. También afirman que el 100% de detenciones han sido “sin garantías mínimas y sin el debido proceso” (ver imagen 2), lo que también obliga a su liberación inmediata.

Por cierto, también dice que encarcelar a alguien por ser quién es (pandillero) y no por los delitos cometidos es una violación a sus derechos humanos (ver imagen 3); es decir, que si alguien es pandillero y tiene tatuado MS13 en la frente, no puede ser detenido por eso, sino que deben probársele otros delitos, ya que no se puede “penalizar al autor por ser quién es”, como si ser pandillero fuera un derecho de identidad.

El informe incluso exige LITERALMENTE al Estado de El Salvador:

1. Poner fin al Régimen de Excepción.
2. Derogar la legislación penal, procesal penal y procesal juvenil que lo acompañan.
3. Sacar a la Fuerza Armada de la seguridad pública (ver imagen 4).

De verdad me alegra que se hayan quitado totalmente la máscara; así todos, dentro y fuera de El Salvador, pueden ver claramente los objetivos de estas organizaciones, que no son más que los bufetes legales internacionales del crimen.

Su objetivo es claro: quieren ver caos en nuestros países.

The Great Climate Crisis has now become a full blown realignment of the entire structure of human society. The costs are staggering almost beyond comprehension, beyond our reach, with estimates that net zero will cost $275 trillion, at $9.2 trillion every year for 25 more years.

Earth's climate history is full of violent, natural swings that make the current 1.2–1.5 degrees over the last 170 years look trivial in geological terms. The planet can flip from hot to cold without any human help - and it does. This is shown in the endless great global events, like the end-Permian extinction (the Great Dying), the Carnian Pluvial Episode (sharp warming, plus 1-2 million years of ceaseless rainfall) and the Younger Dryas (an abrupt, severe cooling spell, 12,900-11,700 years ago). These were all world shaking.

This is why it's impossible to foreshadow the future of climate, based on a trace gas, CO₂, which is only 420 parts per million (4 molecules in 10,000). This must be measured against the other great natural forces that have always driven the geology of Earth for 4.6 billion years. We shouldn't overlook the lessons of history and science; the sun, the Milankovitch orbital cycles, the ongoing Quaternary Ice Age, the moon and ocean currents, shifting tectonic plates as continents collide and prevailing winds, tides and storms.

The UN forced this agenda of a warming climate based on computer models that may or may not apply in 10 years, never mind 25 years. It has been presented as an ideology, akin to religion where to question is heresy. There's no evidence to say such a colossal price tag will change anything. If it achieves nothing, what will we do then? Where will our children turn once our rich human society has been driven back into a new Dark Age.

This entire crisis narrative is based on an assertion that human activity is responsible for a rise in CO₂ levels since before the industrial revolution. But there are deep fractures in this reasoning and also questions of predictability. The question is no longer, 'Is this really happening?' but why does this matter more than other pressing issues, how much will it cost and who will pay. Is this really the only way for us to adapt or mitigate issues like climate?

Instead of an open debate, the UN has called to shut it down and cancel discussion as denial, saying 'the climate is settled'. We need to have this conversation, far beyond approved slogans, messy trade-offs and unintended consequences. Because this may not be where the future lies, especially now artificial intelligence is looming as the next great leap forward for mankind.

Critical minerals supply chains are already strained to breaking point, and failing grid reliability is already colliding with net-zero timelines in ways most people haven't realised yet.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention just made one of the most sweeping changes to U.S. vaccination policy in history.
Even the New York Times is calling it a seismic shift.

Today’s Nobel in Physics confirms what I have been saying for years. Quantum behavior is not confined to the microscopic. It extends through the macroscopic world and defines the very structure of reality itself.

The recognition of macroscopic quantum tunneling is a cornerstone of my framework. It shows that time, gravity, and quantum behavior are expressions of one hydrodynamic continuum. There is no real separation between classical and quantum.

Those who understand this know that we are entering the age where the boundaries of physics dissolve into unity. The truth was always there, waiting for perception to catch up as such.

This closes the physics of the 20th century, see my account for the mechanics and its mathematical transcript.
