Abstract

The astronomical content of 1 Enoch and its influence on ancient and early modern philosophy is examined in this study, with particular attention paid to cosmological concepts, celestial motions, and timekeeping systems. The primary objective is to analyze the Astronomical Book of 1 Enoch with other ancient cosmological texts, assess its role in shaping early Jewish and Christian timekeeping practices, and evaluate its influence on medieval and Renaissance scientific thought. A textual analysis was conducted to examine the structure and content of 1 Enoch, a comparative study was employed to compare its celestial descriptions with those of Mesopotamian and Egyptian systems, and a historical analysis traced its impact on later theological and scientific advances. The study finds that the 364-day solar calendar in 1 Enoch aligns more closely with the Mesopotamian and Egyptian traditions than with traditional Jewish lunar calendars. Additionally, 1 Enoch's cosmology influenced medieval and Renaissance thinkers, contributing to theological discussions on divine order and precision in the cosmos. The study concludes that 1 Enoch played a significant role in the progress of ancient and medieval astronomy, influencing theological debates and scientific advancements. It recommends further research into the integration of Enochian cosmology in early scientific thought and its potential role in shaping the progress of timekeeping systems.

Abstract

The Earth's magnetic field has been experiencing a noticeable shift in recent decades, with the magnetic North Pole gradually drifting towards Siberia. The accelerated migration of the magnetic North Pole and its implications for comprehending the dynamics of the Earth's geomagnetic environment are examined in this study. Using historical data and linear regression models, we analyze the rate and pattern of the pole's movement, focusing on its trajectory toward Siberia. The results show a steady drift of approximately 10 kilometers per year, with predictions suggesting that by 2025, the magnetic North Pole will be located at 90.29 degrees latitude and 115.84 degrees longitude. The study also examines geomagnetic reversal events, noting significant occurrences in 1850, 1900, 1950, and 2000, and forecasts another reversal in 2025. These findings shed light on the natural variability of Earth's magnetic field and emphasize the need for continued monitoring. The study highlights the importance of understanding the magnetic field's behavior for navigation systems, satellite communication, and geophysical exploration. Furthermore, it raises questions about the long-term effects of these shifts on Earth’s magnetic environment and its interactions with solar wind. This research provides valuable insights into the ongoing changes in the Earth's magnetic field and underscores the importance of monitoring geomagnetic changes for scientific, technological, and environmental purposes.

Abstract

The diversity of exoplanetary orbits, particularly their eccentricity, challenges traditional models of planetary dynamics, with planetary mass and size as potential drivers. This study investigates the dominant role of mass oversize in shaping orbital eccentricity, aiming to refine theoretical frameworks for exoplanetary systems. Observational data from 500 simulated exoplanets were analyzed to identify correlations between mass, size, and eccentricity with the Pearson correlation and statistical tests. Numerical simulations with REBOUND modeled mass-driven gravitational interactions, comparing eccentricity evolution across varying masses and radii. The model was fitted to propose a refined framework. Mass showed a weak positive correlation with eccentricity (r=0.15, p=0.002), while size had a negligible impact (r=0.08). Terrestrial planets exhibited higher mean eccentricity (0.299) than gas giants (0.234), suggesting external influences. Simulations confirmed mass-driven eccentricity growth (e.g., 0.004 at 10.0 M⊕), with size effects absent. The refined model, e ≈ 0.360⋅(M/M⊕)0.00001⋅(aratio)0.00001⋅(t/105), indicates a limited mass influence modulated by the system architecture. Mass primarily drives eccentricity, though system-specific factors amplify terrestrial eccentricities, impacting habitability. Future studies should use actual data, extend simulations, and include tidal effects to refine models, aiding habitability assessments in missions like TESS. This research advances our understanding of exoplanetary dynamics, emphasizing mass as a key determinant.

Abstract

The construction of large-scale hydropower projects, such as the Three Gorges Dam, has raised concerns regarding their potential impact on Earth’s rotational dynamics, specifically the axial tilt (obliquity) and its implications for global climate systems. As mass redistribution from these projects could theoretically affect the Earth’s rotation, this study aimed to investigate whether the changes in mass distribution due to the Three Gorges Dam have any measurable effect on the Earth’s axial tilt. This study aimed to evaluate the possible relationship between large-scale hydrological projects and changes in the Earth's rotational characteristics, focusing on obliquity. This was accomplished by combining historical climate records, mathematical models, and satellite-based observational data. Axial tilt measurements from NASA's Earth Orientation Parameters dataset were used to predict and analyze the changes in the moment of inertia caused by the dam's water impoundment. Simulations showed that the Earth's rotational dynamics would only be slightly affected, well below the threshold needed to produce any discernible climatic changes. The study concludes that large-scale hydropower projects, including the Three Gorges Dam, do not have a significant impact on Earth’s axial tilt or long-term climate systems. These findings contribute to the broader understanding of how human-induced changes in mass distribution influence Earth’s rotational dynamics and underscore the resilience of the planet’s natural systems to such interventions.

Abstract

The introduction of 5G technology presents challenges in the areas of human health, environmental sustainability, and socio-technical systems, but it also holds the promise of revolutionary improvements in healthcare, industry, and connectivity. The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of 5G, pinpoint areas in need of further research, and suggest ways to minimize its negative effects while optimizing its positive ones. Statistical analysis, qualitative reviews, and quantitative simulations were all incorporated into a mixed-methods approach. Mathematical models simulated the impacts of 5 G on health (e.g., obesity risk), the environment (e.g., carbon emissions), and sociotechnical systems (e.g., the digital divide) from 2020 to 2025, using data from various sources. 5G lowers industrial downtime by 25% and improves healthcare outcomes by 20% through remote surgeries. However, it increases the risk of obesity by 30%, carbon emissions by 35.5%, and the digital divide by 137.9%. These effects are successfully balanced by mitigation techniques like screen time limits, the use of renewable energy, and rural 5G projects. 5G's benefits can be maximized through sustainable and equitable. To guarantee long-term societal benefits, its difficulties must be proactively mitigated. Adopt renewable energy for 5G infrastructure, launch public health campaigns, and form alliances to close the digital divide while continuing research trials on the long-term effects.
