Traditional science has not been able to provide a rational answer as to why a person standing on the planet Earth has no sense of movement even though the planet is travelling at speeds around the sun of approximately 67,000 miles per hour, with the solar system travelling around the Milky Way at approximately 500,000 miles per hour, and the Milky Way, in turn, heading towards the constellation of Virgo at 900,000 miles per hour. In my view, traditional science with its reliance on formulae cannot provide a complete understanding of how the system works. Perhaps, a fluid system design model can provide some of the answers.

Most stars are members of an initial binary.

Was our star the sun a member of an initial binary?

Of course it was. The planets have almost all the angular momentum of the Solar System.
The only way this could happen is if the thrust disc of our Sun would take a few molten orbs from its opposite number.

The Sun 5,000 million years old.

One of those molten orbs became planet Earth said to be 4,600 million years old. A solid iron silicon Mars size projectile would impact planet Earth 4,500 million years ago. The molten material ejected science books would agree would become our Moon.

What is not mentioned is that the gaping hole left by this event would become a volcanic safety valve and the magma ejected would eventually become our ancestral home 240 million years ago Pangaea.

We are saying the only resonable way that the oceans could have arrived would be if the Mars size projectile was covered with 50km thick of ice.

As the hot surface of the planet Earth disappeared under the icy waters, a solid surface would result over the surface of our planet. A process used by blacksmiths today.

However, our volcanic safety valve has only just ejected the magma of our Moon, therefore for a while very little magma would get ejected.
The icy waters would overwhelm the small amount of magma in the volcanic safety valve.

It would go solid, break up and sink below the surface of the oncoming magma and be subjected to enormous pressure.

The resulting pressure would produce hard rock formations and diamonds.

This would eventually become part of Pangaea, our ancestral home.

When Pangaea would eventually break up, the hard rock formations and diamonds would arrive on the continent of Africa.

However remember:-

Fish have been around for 450 million years, and the Nautilus a history of 500 million years.
Pangaea only went solid 240 million years ago.
240 million years ago oxygen in the atmosphere reaches present level.

Since Pangaea would only put in an appearance 240 million years ago, how do you explain the fact that a tree 90 feet high, 335 million years old was found in Craig Scotland. Quite simply the process is ongoing during the present day, the sudden appearance of volcanic islands from the time of the arrival of the oceans on planet Earth.

Even so they are generally on a three million year conveyor belt cycle and then disappear.

However, this is sufficient time to produce vegetation and seed the emerging Pangaea.

400 million years ago early amphibians would colonize land.

The big boys would arrive 200 million years ago, the age of the dinosaurs onto the elemental parts of Pangaea our ancestral home.

The dinosaur would reign for 135 million years.

What an achievement!

Michael J White. 19th October 2012

Pangaea formed 240 million years ago. Fish are the most ancient form of life with a history of 450 million years.

Pangaea,

Name for a single supercontinent that formed about 240 million years ago.
Present land masses plus their continental shelves can be fitted into this one continent.
4,600 million years ago the Earth was formed.

Sun 5,000 million years old.

A solid iron silicon Mars size projectile would impact planet Earth 4,500 million years ago.
Few fossils found in rocks 4,000 million years ago.

Most stars are members of an initial binary.

Solar planets contain more than 99% of the angular momentum of the Solar system.
Sun contains 99.87% of the mass of the Solar system.

Zircon is actually the oldest known mineral on earth. Samples found from Western Australia are more than 4,400 million years ago

Let us go to that native person on the equator who at one end of the street would discover that with water leaving a funnel it would rotate in one direction, at the other end of the street in the opposite direction.

Imagine somewhere in that street you have a thin high speed rotating disc. At one end of the street the disc would appear to rotate clockwise, at the other end of the street it would appear to rotate anticlockwise. The disc would be displaced by the gravitational effects of the Sun and the Milky Way.

The thickness of the thin high speed rotating thrust disc would rotate the Moon in its orbit and provide the graviton stacking hopper of planet Earth with the required amount of gravitons that are lost at the proton due to entrainment. Making comparisons with the rings of Saturn may help in deciding the exact thickness of the thrust disc.

We require to know the thickness of the thrust disc to our star the Sun, and all of the Solar Planets and what is the extent of their influence.

By some calculations from 90 to 99% of the matter in the universe is not radiating at any wavelength in the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Since this important discovery was only made in the l93Os, scientists before this may have come to some very different conclusions with regard to the cosmos.

Divide a 50mm diameter sphere in half 29 times and you are down to the size of an atom.

Divide a 50mm diameter sphere in half 111 times and you are down to the size of a graviton.

The nucleus of an atom is as a fly in a cathedral. This mass of material not radiating at any wavelength in the entire electromagnetic spectrum over the whole Universe means that we are all subject to space pressure which before the l93Os could not have been envisaged by scientists before this date.

Space pressure must be constant because the speed of light is constant whatever the speed of travel.

The diameter of the Sun is about 1,392,000 km. In order to get a hot Sun the only thing we require is for a planet to become a certain size. In order to get a Sun made from Hydrogen we must strip away all neutrons. We are then left with single protons and electrons. The Milky Way is 13,500 million years old. Mass of a Black Hole is 1,000 times less than the mass of the galaxy The Milky Way.

However a Black Hole is 4 million times the mass of our Sun.

The most promising place to look for Black Holes is in binary systems such as HDE 226868-CygnusX-1 There is an apparent observation of gravitational waves emanating from the centre of our own galaxy. This energy would be equivalent to a loss mass of many thousands of solar masses per year.

This is in gross conflict with other observations.

The Milky Way is over 100,000 light years across and has a supermassive Black Hole at its central nucleus. The gravity system which holds the Solar system together cannot hold the mighty Milky Way together especially when you consider that it is moving at the incredible speed of 900,000 mph towards the constellation of Virgo. The Milky Way once again shaped like a disc, however, take a fishing float at the centre and it is in flight mode at 35° to this.

The solar system however is making its way around the Milky Way at 500,000 mph.

The core or nucleus of the galaxy is surrounded by a bulge of stars that grows denser closer to the centre. This forms an ellipsoid of about 15,000 by 6,000 light years, the longest dimension lying along the plane of the Milky Way.

Young stars etch out a spiral pattern and it is thought that they radiate from a bar.

The thickness of the Milky Way is about 2,000 light years. The Sun lies about 25,000 light years from the centre. The stars in the bulge have the highest orbital rates. They can travel hundreds of light years above and below the plane of the Milky Way.

Within the disc, stars stay mainly in the plane of the galaxy as they orbit the galactic centre.

Stars are normally binaries in the first instant, sometimes there are even a pair of binaries.

Was our star the Sun part of a binary. The fact that the planets have over 99% of the angular momentum of the Solar system would suggest that the Sun was part of a binary.

The only way the planets could have this angular momentum is if the thrust disc of our Sun took a small number of molten orbs out of its opposite number.

It perhaps may be considered that our star the Sun was formed by means of accretion. However since the Sun is made of hydrogen you must shed all neutrons in order to be left with protons and electrons. Accretion is not a possibility. Therefore further to the difficulty of producing a binary by means of accretion it must be considered that a binary must be manufactured.

When considering the layout of a Black Hole together with the location of the surrounding stars it must be considered that this is the most likely location for the manufacture of binary stars.

My only clue here is the fact that one scientist would depict a pair of trouser legs within the Black Hole The reason for this I do not know, however:- In order to strip away all the neutrons in order to leave us with protons and electrons let us imagine we have a donut shaped star here, particles as they approach the speed of light entering the donut increase in mass, greatly accentuating the effects of gravity.

The excess mass of particles must escape and we would pose the possibility that it is via a pair of trouser legs. Let us visit one of those molten orbs released by the thrust disc of our star the Sun, which was to become planet Earth.

The five continents that we call home did not put in an appearance until 240 million years ago. However fish are the most ancient forms of life with a history of 450 million years and the Nautilus a history of 500 million years.

We therefore have the case that our ancestral home Pangaea 250 million years ago was a molten supercontinent in the middle of an ancient ocean.

What a spectacular vision.

Let us face it fish are “fusspots” to end all “fusspots” when it comes to quality of water. They go belly up at the drop of a hat.

Fish require oxygen to breath. Just how long does it take to oxygenate clear ice water?

This really is the job of a foundry manager to work all this out and not myself.

Few fossils are found in rocks 4,000 million years ago- Planet Earth was only formed 4,600 million years ago. You can clearly see where this is heading to. Even a few fossils 4,000 million years ago must mean they were produced with water present.

Low and behold, what happened between 4,000 and 4,600 million years ago planet Earth was impacted by a solid iron silicon Mars size projectile 4,500 million years ago.

I would suggest here that the Mars size projectile would be covered by at least 50 km thick of ice in order to give us our oceans. It would beggar belief that the oceans could arrive piecemeal onto a recent molten orb that even 250 million years ago was in support of a molten supercontinent.

However clearly it would take many millions of years to oxygenate those oceans.

I would further suggest the Mars size projectile was not a glancing blow but would burrow its way into the centre of planet Earth shedding its cargo of ice transforming the surface of planet Earth and leaving us with a safety valve for the molten material within which was to become our ancestral home Pangaea.

However the Mars size projectile would blast a large amount of molten material out into space in order to form our Moon.

We now consider what is called “the effects of gravity” Every particle in the Universe attracts every other with a force which is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of their separation.

The gravitational potential at a point in a gravitational field is defined as being numerically equal to the work done in bringing a unit mass from infinity (where the potential is zero) to that point.

However to me gravity is a fluid that in its application would persuade us the recipient that though we move through space at the most incredible speed, we sense no movement.

Gravity is a fluid that however large or vigorous that object will always stay to the surface. Therefore precisely what is my theory with regard to the effects of gravity.

From 90-99% of the matter in the Universe is not radiating at any wavelength in the entire electromagnetic spectrum. That surely means the particles are most small.

Divide a 50 mm diameter sphere in half 29 times and you are down to the size of an atom. Divide a 50 mm diameter sphere in half 111 times and you are down to the size of a graviton.

The nucleus of an atom is as a fly in a cathedral. This means this mass of graviton material must place us under space pressure.
This means this mass of graviton material can pass through human beings and anything else with comparative ease. This means the electric charge is simply space pressure being channelled into an area for our use. A 1974 Dictionary of Science would state “Science does not understand the nature of an electric charge”.

Since in some cases the electron moves at one thousandth of one mile per hour and the charge at the speed of light, it is a fair bet the electron is not the nature of an electric charge.

So we will state that the electron moves and space pressure moves in the opposite direction in order to meet the oncoming void.

That is the nature of an electric charge. In order for us to travel through space at high speed planet Earth must attract a fluid which passes through the human race and our senses relate only to that fluid and not the speed of the Solar system through space.

We must consider why planet Earth should attract the graviton. First of all we now have our spatial fluid particles however why the movement of planet Earth.

We must return to that African person at the Equator who at one end of the street water leaving a funnel would rotate in one direction and at the other end would rotate in the opposite direction. Therefore if you imagine a rotating disc in the middle of the street.

Look from one side and it is clockwise, look from the other side of the street and it is anticlockwise. This disc is orbiting our Moon around planet Earth, however the purpose of this disc is to feed the stacking hopper of planet Earth which is how we are held to the surface and sense no movement.

A more visual image of such a disc is around Saturn. Our star the Sun works exactly in the same way. The thrust disc to the Sun is merely there to supply the stacking hopper with the correct amount of gravitons. The fact that planet Earth is within that thrust disc is the reason for our orbital speed.

It is like water going down a plug hole, faster towards the Sun.

The reason why we do not follow the graviton flow is of interest of course. However we do not.

The appetite for gravitons via a thrust disc and stacking hopper at the Sun is the reason for our rotation within the Solar system.
The very same system of thrust disc and stacking hopper at planet Earth and the implosion of gravitons towards planet Earth is what we call gravity. However why the implosion?

The simple word is “entrainment”.

Stand on a railway platform as a 125 is passing through and you are wise to stand well back, since the 125 removes the air from in front of you and 14.7 lb per sq inch in the old money will thrust you into the side of the train.

As you are driving your car down an “A” road a large truck travelling in the opposite direction will remove air from one side of your car and 14.7 lb per sq inch will give you a shove from the other side.

However the proton within the atom is said to be the interesting attractive feature.

Why do I think that it is an attractive force? Space pressure cannot be present at the surface, therefore gravitons are entrained about the proton removing gravitons from the spatial system which have to be replaced by thrust disc and stacking hopper.

A visual image may be seen in an air ventilation system. Take a venturi tube. At the entrance a narrow annular slot. Feed that annular slot with 100 psi air, atmospheric pressure cannot be present at the entrance to the venturi and atmospheric air drives the annular jet down the venturi together with much entrained air as well.

This is called coanda effect.

Foot note:- In order to get a closer evaluation of when the oceans arrived we must consider the most ancient of gemstones such as zircon which must have been produced in the presence of water.

The mechanics of how zircon should make an appearance on our ancestral home Pangaea has not been explained by myself or scientists.
Though I do remember on some TV programmes they would state that on some of their travels they were standing on an ancient sea bed.

You may be curious as to why astronauts out near the space station are just floating about and do not appear to be influenced by the flight of the Milky Way 900,000 mph towards the constellation of Virgo.

This is because the astronauts are within the thrust disc of our star the Sun travelling without impediment. To travel within the constellation of the Milky Way clearly you are contained by its gravitational influence. Travel just outside the Milky Way and you will head towards the constellation of Virgo at 900,000 mph.

Conclusions:-
The name of the game is to place all events in chronological order.
Make sure that all the pieces of jigsaw puzzle fit together, consider the result then write down your conclusions. These are my conclusions however the age of the Universe is 13,700 million years. Age of the Sun 5,000 million years.
Therefore just 8,700 million years after the birth of the Universe the Solar system was to come into being.

That statistic would quite frankly freak me out. Pangaea the Safety Valve. In order to relieve seismic internal pressure in early planet Earth.

Pangaea Our Ancestral Home.

Which option would be most agreeable to both EU and the UK?

How would it be possible to protect the interests of both parties? What part shoud the administrators for Europe play or should they assign responsibility for Brexit
to a country in Europe that they would most likely align to.

First what are the various sections consist of. Who decides what comes first and what is the subject for dialogue at the beginning of negotiations?

Does each successive dialogue decided in turn first by the EU, and then the UK or does the EU decide the nature of all dialogue.

The whole world would wait in eager anticipation as dialogue would enfold.

We would be treated to silence and a succession of UK delegates resignation and no resignation from the EU.

How does Brexit compare with other EU negotiations?

The UK would, at the request of the USA, offer their factory units on behalf of Germany in the way of War Reparation. Germany had been absolved of all debt world wide and world wide all countries must repay to Germany that which they would owe from 1939 at 1945 rates.

There was not a country in the world, including the UK, that would dare would dare argue with the USA, they at this time were so powerful.

The countries in mainland Europe were vassal to Germany during World War II and because of Potsdam 1945 that would preside over, they are vassal to Germany to the present day.

Of course because there is no EU language  it is far easier for France to administer the EU on behalf of Germany.

This is most expensive on the budget of the EU.

WHY DID President Truman find it necessary to subject the UK to such misery. After we were their allies and by marriage via Winston Churchill we were actually married into the USA.

The answer to this is simple enough, President Truman did not want Adolf Hitler type character showering the West with atom bombs.

Did Potsdam 1945 become part of negotiations? Should Potsdam 1945 become part of Brexit negotiations?

The only thing that I have been informed with regard to Brexit is the Northern Ireland border.

Quite simply when parliament talks only about second referendum and many similar discussion the whole affair has become an embarrassing Punch and Judy show that has even dragged in
antisemitism to its aid.

When this sort of event happens an agenda is afoot.
I wonder what it is?

The UK role in the future which of course would include the loss of most of our factory units which at the time were making good profits would mean that the EU would be of the opinion that degregation of the UK was the order of the day.

Let’s face it British Leyland was to the point of ridiculous and when I would ask the British Library in London if they had a copy of the published brochure they were so embarrassed they would deny all knowledge.

However 1 was a student at the Butts Technical College during 1950 the most marvelous education establishment in the whole world. Also because of the people that I would know the events were close and personal.

Therefore I would say to 1950’s descendants to be proud of your pedigree. Immigration UK may have well developed social system that you do not have since they wore not directly involved
in the madness of Europe in the 1900’s no way will they acquire your amazing pedigree nor will they ever understand the mechanics of Europe.

In conclusion France would accuse the UK of being the Trojan Horse in the EU.

Clearly France is the Trojan Horse in Brexit since they would deliberately leave the most difficult item: the Irish border until last in order to thwart the will of Brexit.

There is but one solution: Remainers in a Customs Union, Leavers leave March 29 2019.

In this case, contrary to popular belief, one size does not fit all.

In the long run this arrangement could prove to be in the best interest of the UK and France will fight it tooth and claw.

I would return to Coventry during 2001 and ask the old timers there, “What has happened to your industry?”

They would reply, “It all went for war reparation.”

The myth today is that the industry would fail because of poor management, lack of investment and union problems.

Simply not true, the firm I was with for eight years was well managed, would invest, and to prove it all, would pay out a good bonus every January. If there had been no profits there would have been no bonus.

I was also given a tour of many of the factories in Coventry and I was most impressed. During 1950 to a youth with no qualifications, Coventry and the surrounding industry was the most magical place on planet Earth.

Therefore quite simply:- “what happened?” 
November 9 1989 the Berlin Wall came down.

For 45 years Germany was split in half and in order to stem the tide of Russia.
This time around it was important to make Germany strong.

Machine tool manufacture worldwide I would be led to understand that

half is produced by Germany,
half is produced by Japan.

Close to half machine tool manufacture worldwide was produced in the Coventry U.K. area during 1950.

Arrival of the Oceans. by Michael J White

As one-time aero engine fuel system designer at Elton Road, the explanation of how we are held to the surface of the earth and yet sense no movement was of interest to me. 67,000 mph, and that only in the first Solar instant is a staggering speed. We must in some fluid system way be part of the planet that we stand on – that is the only stationary bit in this situation.

What data do we have? We are told that the nucleus of an atom is as a fly in a cathedral, and since the effects of gravity is said to be the weakest of the forces, it is to here that we must look.

First the size of an atom cathedral – divide a 50mm diameter sphere in half 29 times and we are down to the size of an atom. Next we just fill this atom cathedral with fluid. Since at least 90 per cent of material in the Milky Way cannot be found, this would seem reasonable proposition.

The hypothetical particle of gravity measures 10(-35) metres. This I understand from our mathematicians is a 50mm diameter sphere divided in half 111 times. This 90 per cent of material must place space under pressure, just as being under our atmosphere places you under pressure. Our atom cathedral is therefore under pressure.

Coanda Effect: Take a venturi tube, at the entrance a 4mm wide annular slot. Feed this slot with 100 psi air from an annular chamber. Atmospheric air pressure is denied access to the surface of the inlet to the venturi. Because the volume of air being ejected is not excessive, air outside the entrance to the venturi tube pushes the jet of air down the venturi tube and much entrained air as well.

This effect is used down coalmines for ventilation.

Let us venture near our fly at the centre of our cathedral. There seems to be two main players the proton and the neutron. The neutron however does not put in an appearance with one proton as in hydrogen. Therefore since the neutron neither attracts nor repels we may presume that it is a flow or pressure regulator of sorts when two or more protons are present.

The proton however does attract. I am saying that it attracts in the same way as the coanda tube. Space pressure cannot be present at the surface of the proton. Therefore gravity particles are entrained.

Entrained gravity particles around the proton must be replaced. They are replaced by a stacking hopper situated around the proton. This stacking hopper must be supplied and it is supplied by a thin wavering disc at the major diameter. This wavering disc requires to use pi in order to work out the number of gravity particles to be supplied.

This is a sum that the thrust disc must get wrong. To correct this error we introduce the electron, which whirls its paddle furiously in order to maintain the correct calculation, this may be observed when you take off your woolly jumper in a dark bedroom.

The resulting atom is now neutral and everything balances out. However, we have yet to supply the wavering thrust disc.

My next sphere of influence is the stone dust hopper. Stone dust is very fine, and is used down coalmines to fight fires.

At the centre of a stone dust hopper is a vertical tube and at the bottom of this tube is an air operated agitator. Opposite the agitator the tube has two openings through which we feed the stone dust.

You need a stacking hopper to supply the stone dust agitator and you must need a stacking hopper to supply the atom cathedrals of planet earth.

This is the nature of the effects of gravity. You are standing in a river flow of gravitons travelling toward earth to replace those lost at the proton. However the gravitons flow through your body with comparative ease. The effect of gravity is said to be the weakest of the known forces and since the surface of the proton is the author, this is quite understandable – a fly in a cathedral!

There are some anomalies with regard to the effects of gravity; e.g. it is stronger at the poles than it is at the equator. However, the projected area of the planet earth is greater at the poles. Should we venture to an African township on the equator, a local person was able to demonstrate the flow of water out of the a funnel rotated in opposite directions at each end of the road crossing the equator.

I have no doubt in my mind that this is the nature of the effects of gravity, principally because there is no alternative way of achieving this phenomenon.

Oh! But we cannot stop here; the stacking hopper of the earth must also be supplied by a thin rotating thrust disc at the major diameter, which rotates our moon in its orbit. Furthermore the thrust disc to the stacking hopper of the sun rotates all the solar planets in the same direction in their orbit, the earth being rotated at nearly 67,000 mph.

You may ponder however that planet earth rotates on its axis. You may consider that the thrust disc of the sun which feeds its stacking hopper is like water going down a plug hole, high speed towards the sun and a much lower speed towards Pluto.

Were you to consider this to be the reason for the rotation of the earth on its axis you would be wrong, since in this case the sun would rise in the west and set in the east. So perhaps you should look to the Milky Way for the reason, especially since the reason for our seasons, is that the axis of the earth always points to a certain star out in space, sometimes we are angled towards the sun and sometimes away.

Now you may say that we have a universal system for the effects of gravity, but once again you would be wrong. The gravity system which holds the solar system together cannot hold the mighty Milky Way together, especially when you consider that it is moving at the incredible speed of 900,000 mph towards the constellation of Virgo.

The Milky Way once again shaped like a disc, however, take a fishing float at the centre and it is in flight mode at 35 degrees to this. The solar system however is making its way around the Milky Way at 500,000 mph.

Now why should the Milky Way have this flight path I wonder? I think perhaps the hint here is the constant speed of light, constant whatever speed you are doing, hence an indication of constant space pressure. Let’s face it the system would not work otherwise. However the universe is expanding, how do we maintain constant space pressure? – You impact galaxies in the outer skin.

Let us consider the reason for the effects of gravity that hold our Milky Way together. At the centre a mandrel of light has been observed. A black hole is said to be at the centre of the Milky Way. So let us imagine that we have a donut shaped star here, particles as they approach the speed of light entering the donut increases in mass, greatly accentuating the effects of gravity. The excess mass of particles must escape and are clearly visible.

A 1974 dictionary of science would state, “Science does not understand the nature of an electric charge”.

Since in some cases the electron moves at one thousandth of one mile per hour and the charge at the speed of light – it is a fair bet the electron is not the nature of an electric charge. So we will state that the electron moves and space pressure moves in the opposite direction in order to meet the oncoming void. That is the nature of an electric charge.

Where did the oceans come from?

Stars are normally binaries in the first instant. The thrust disc to our sun takes a small slice out of its opposite number equal to 0.1 per cent of the solar system sending its opposite number out into deep space, leaving this small slice with 99 per cent of the angular momentum of the solar system.

One of the molten orbs taken from our opposite number was impacted by a Mars-sized solid iron/silicon sphere covered by a layer of ice 50km thick. The resulting slag furnace situation was to become planet earth. Continents at point of impact, oceans at the opposite side.

Research for the article carried out in the Brynmor Jones Library, University of Hull 92 – 2001

Experience two was far more dangerous.
Lighting in the Victorian house was by gas. Eventually this was replaced by electricity. My parents bedroom had a bedside table lamp with two sockets. One socket with an electric light bulb, switched on, one socket empty. Gas lighting now gone, this new arrival would fascinate. I would gingerly touch the two live prongs, a sudden surge of fluid would surge into my arm and then disappear. I would carefully consider what that experience would mean when carrying out research in the Brynmor Jones Library, University of Hull ’92-2001.

Experience three, the most dangerous of all.
A lad from school would invite me to his dad’s farm together with one other boy. We would play cowboys on top of a hayrick in an enormous barn. At my second visit to the farm I would jump over a bale of hay I had jumped over previously only to find the whole hayrick had been cut away. I would drop the whole height of the barn onto a wisp of hay in between two pitch forks. I was never invited to that farm again.

Sometime later I was invited to play on the flat roof of a five storey public house in the centre of town. We would play the usual game of cowboys, I was about to jump over a low wall when my previous experience made me pause. I would look over the wall and found I would have dropped five storeys to the ground below.

I fairly bolted out of the building and never played with those boys again.

It certainly had more effect on me then that apple on the scientist’s head.

Apprenticeship now complete.
