According to Walter Helwich, the geo-magnetic storm started on May 31 2013. After this extraordinary event, the researchers speculate all this happens in our planetary surrounding.
What is happening with the Earth’s EM field?
The Earth was hit by an interplanetary shock wave that caused G1-class (Kp 5) geo-magnetic storm. NOAA reports that the G1 geo-magnetic storms can occur due to small fluctuations in electrical connections, therefore those fluctuations can provoke severe damages. This is common situation in Sub polar and Polar Regions. The main reason for this situation is unknown. But some scientists believe that probably the Sun is to blame, i.e. its coronary mass ejections of solar plasma, but SOHO and some other satellites had not captured any important detail. This “unknown and unidentified shock” caused unusual lightening that could be seen from Colorado, Maryland, Iowa and Nebraska in the United States. The website Tesis stated that we had the chance to experience G2 level (Kp 6) geo-magnetic storm. According to NOAA’s World Player rankings, G2 are moderate geo-magnetic storms that can cause a serious voltage drop in the Polar and Sub-polar Regions on the planet. Such situations require some adjustments for satellites to be done, because northern lights can be seen as far as New York and Idaho in the United States. The website Spaceweather also says that, there are some disturbances in the EM layer of the Earth, even today.
This is a very unusual occurrence, whose origin is also unknown. The polar light had unusual purple color, unlike the standard green color (commonly seen in case of CME on the Sun). At the same time, most of the planet was covered with thick clouds, and we have witnessed the cold, wet weather with a number of leeches, severe storms and unusual snowfall. So, we started to wonder about the theory of “An electric universe” and its importance for this specific case.

Zero Dark Thirty
According to Walter Helwich, this is a controversial thriller directed by Kathryn Bigelow. This movie describes how was captured the world’s most wanted terrorist – Osama Bin Laden! “Zero Dark Thirty” stars Jessica Chastain, Joel Edgerton and Chris Pratt.
After September 11th, the CIA agent, Maya, is going after the most wanted terrorist leader Osama bin Laden. She starts to work with her colleague, Dan, who interrogates the prisoners, torturing and humiliating them. After they interrogated Ammar, who is associated with Saudi terrorists, they revealed some clues that could lead them to Obama. The filmmakers decided to show the flow of events from Maya’s perspective, the young agent and analyst whose job is to locate terrorists around the world. Maya’s character is based on a real person. The film is a blend of action, journalism and drama. It is neither fiction nor documentary, but an exciting mixture that sheds light on the dark aspects of fighting terrorism. The central character, Maya is going after Osama bin Laden, and she is also experiencing intense interrogations of Al Qaeda prisoners. She tried to show the complexity of the situation, both moral and psychological. “This film does not have the purpose to settle or resolve this problem. The aim was to list some events and to present them accurately to the audience.” says Boal.
Boal searched for inspiration in the new kind of journalism from the sixties, when the eminent American writers started to use literary techniques to describe certain events. Her characters must show not only their personal struggles, but the details and consequences of this historic event, while they are protecting their identity. Inspired by the findings, Boal has created characters who are expressing the experiences of those who participated in the operation, as well as other members of the military and intelligence communities.
“Zero Dark Thirty” (military term for the time when the Navy special forces carried out the attack on Osama Bin Laden) is the most ambitious project of Kathryn Bigelow. The screenwriter and producer is Mark Boal, an experienced journalist and award-winning playwright. Visit Walter Helwich at CrunchBase to find out more.

The Acropolis of one forgotten kingdom
Numerous excavations are currently carried on a large archaeological site in Anatolia, says Walter Helwich. This location will probably discover the ancient and rich, but forgotten kingdom famous as Tuwana (Tyana). This is an ancient region of Cappadocia, which is located in the southern part of central Turkey. It was the capital of the Neo-Hittite kingdom during the first century B.C.
In 2012, Lorenzo d’Alfonso came out first with an idea about this location. This Italian archaeologist is leading joint mission of the University of Pavia and NYU. “This area is part of the forgotten kingdom Tuwana,” explained d’Alfonso. “We’ve only had some indications and hieroglyphics from several sources of the Assyrian empire, but we have never made an extensive archaeological study, until now. This place is completely untouched, so we’re trying to put in historical context in order to understand where the civilization belonged and its role in this area. ”
“Kinik Hoyuk, is the most amazing place from the pre-classical Anatolia. Some estimates say that this location covers 24 acres, but the topography shows that it would probably cover nearly 81 ha. Tuwana was a small state between the Phrygian kingdom and the Assyrian empire. Moreover, this state was particularly rich. One of the main subjects of our research involves the cultural importance of the kingdom”, said D’Alfonso. He pointed out that he discovered two relief panels from the Iron Age in this area; however, they are not very well preserved. During this excavation, there were found some significant remains of the Acropolis walls. According to D’Alfonso, these monumental walls were remarkably preserved and with height up to 6 m.
From the start, they planned to turn this place into an open museum, because this is an easy-accessible place. It is located only 45 minutes away from the other tourist attractions in Cappadocia. Click here to see the video from Walter Helwich.
