The SWAN hatch is based on the Integratron!

There are interesting parallels between elements of the Swan station and the Integratron. Furthermore, many of the goals of the Integratron are areas of study within the Dharma Initiative.


Background Information
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integratron
Quote:
George van Tassel was an aviation mechanic who moved out to California's Mojave Desert to operate an airport and inn. ... In August of 1953, Mr. van Tassel claimed that he was contacted by Venusians, who gave him a technique to rejuvenate human cell tissues. Mr. van Tassel, acting on these instructions, began constructing the Integraton in 1954. Construction costs were paid for by a series of successful UFO conventions. The building was eventually finished before Mr. van Tassel died in 1978.


Extra Terrestrials, Life Extension and Underground Living
http://www.rickross.com/reference/ufo/ufo23.html

Quote:
… the Integratron, a small white dome in the Mojave Desert ... was built - according to its founder [George Van Tassel] - from plans drafted by visitors from outer space. He claimed visitors from outer space, including Venus, helped him design the Integratron as a life extension, rejuvenation and time machine. ... "The purpose of the Integratron is to recharge energy into living cell structure, to bring about longer life with youthful energy," Van Tassel wrote. "This has been the goal of many people, since Ponce de Leon started looking for the fountain of youth."
It was also mentioned at the above site that Mr. Van Tassel lived underground near the site of the Integratron.

Quote:
The location of the Integratron is an essential part of its functioning. Its placement was chosen based on a complex set of theories involving the earth's magnetic field and the Integratron's relationship to the Great Pyramid in Egypt and Giant Rock, the world's largest freestanding boulder.

Significance of Dome Structure
http://www.integratron.com/5SacredGe...dGeometry.html

Quote:
Mechanically speaking, domes are power-enhancers or power-focusers. A whisper on one side of a parabolic domed building can easily be heard on the other because the sound is focused toward the center by its spherical shape. This energy-focusing ability was considered when the Integratron was designed, and accounts for some of its remarkable effects when used for music, sound therapy, meditation, physical healing, and spiritual upliftment.

well written and worth pondering... some definite LOST tie-ins

Re: The SWAN hatch is based on the Integratron!

The acoustics of a dome, could that explain the whispers? I once worked in a building where there was a curved room, and you could literally hear people whispering from around the corner, while the person right next to you is hardly audible based on the shape of the room. While I don't believe that the island is encapsulated in a dome (though people have theorized as much), it is possible that with whatever the whisperers are observing opens a 'two-way channel'. This could be the Remote Viewing Technology, a link between two places by the focusing and directing of waves from a mobile point back to the observer

Aside from the fact that there is no life (as we know it) on Venus, does anyone know if such a dome has the ability to focus EM or any other kind of energy? I suppose that sound waves are a type of energy, as they move through the air with force. Also they carry information. Could EM waves (is there such a thing) also possibly carry information? Does anyone know?

Ha Ha! LOL

What a funny question! ElectoMagnetic Waves do indeed carry information, in a manner of speaking.

You see, visible light is an EM wave of a certain set of frequencies. When this EM Wave enters our eyes and strikes the rods and cones on the back of our eyeball, nerve impulses are sent to our brain which inturprets the signals as colorful images. So, in essence, the EM waves eminating from your computer monitor and entering your eyes as you read these words, can be said to "carry" the information encapsulating the thoughts that formed in my brain as a result of reading your post.

Since you had your thought and posted it on the 'Lage, and I read it, information was transmitted from your mind to your fingertips, via electrical nerve impulses, to the keyboard, to the 'Lage, to my computer monitor, throught the air as light and into my eyes, and ultimatly to my mind. All thanks to Electro-Magnatisim!

Re: The SWAN hatch is based on the Integratron!

scalar em waves are being used in weaponry by the russians and have for some time. there is some great information out there about them: their ability to be used for terraforming, weather manipulation, de-differentiation (healing), mind control, etc. goggle "scalar" and see what you get. fascinating stuff!

Newrave: Great theory! My one quibble is with the geodesic dome, which I think is a Faraday cage that keeps OUT the whispers.

Thanks! I'll google it.

Do you know if the dome is known to have properties other than focusing sound (within the dome)?

Re: The SWAN hatch is based on the Integratron!

just did a quick search about sound in geodesic, and other, domes, and ran across this very brief article. very "new age-y", but then, so is some of what we are talking about. regardless, i found it interesting:

WARNING ABOUT GEODESIC DOME HOMES!


The following warning about living in dome homes was received by me by email on April 10 2002:
"An architect I know worked with Buckminster for years built domes as residences for 12 or so years before realizing the divorce rate for people living in domes is sky high. The energy of domes is toxic for everyday living conditions - plants, sound energy etc. get amplified & some aspects are OK for short term use or application, but not for day to day living. People really need to check this stuff out, particularly if they plan on living in a specific geometry. Domes with exposed struts are terrible. Noxious energy lines in all directions. Undergound and solid? Well, lets just say that all energy is amplified in a dome, and there better be some good energy without agenda or ego going into it to work for the inhabitants' highest good!! People underground? Temporary - possibly OK if short term and conscious. Generally, bad idea - especially if the global energy is being altered from the inside out. Be careful.
Probably makes a great greenhouse, though - healthy plants living in happy little groups that are actually alive and not synthetics/hybrids/GMO don't have the ego agendas [re: activities based in fear] of humans".

http://www.relfe.com/geodesic_dome_h...orce_rate.html

also on geodesic domes:
"A drawback of domes as shelters is that the exterior is practically all roof and it must be engineered to effectively seal off water to prevent leaks. Also large domes are subject to echoes. Because sound is amplified, sound deadening should be incorporated into the interior design."

http://www.gardendome.com/whydomes.htm

audio geeks know that there are now sound domes available. basically a plastic half-sphere with a speaker in it. it provides spectacular sound quality: no distortion and great amplification.
