- First, I'd like to extend my thanks on behalf of Jeff
and myself to all those who responded to the survey.
-
- So what is the purpose of the survey? It is about TIME.
Specifically, a change in the past which had appeared to cause a change
- in the present.
-
- About a week prior to this posting, a change in the sundial
on the Rover was suddenly noticed. This design change appeared
- in the sundial which I've attempted to illustrate in
the altered photo below:
-
-
-
-
- Original sundial as remembered by four different
people. This image has been
- modified in an attempt to show what several individuals
remember.
-
-
-
- Image of the sundial as presented in the survey
-
- The difference between these two images is the appearance
of protrusions near the base of the shaft, which look something like teeth
on a gear. These objects were not seen back in 2005 when the book "What
NASA Isn't Telling You About Mars" was first published. Apparently,
something in the past has caused a sudden change in the present. All known
copies of this image, both digital and those in print, have all been changed
and look like the image above.
-
- SURVEY RESULTS
-
- None of the nine respondents to the survey has observed
this change. Though somewhat disappointing, the survey data must stand
as it is. Possible reasons for this may be that three of the four people
who observed this change had some extensive involvement with the creation
of Mars book, and therefore had a strong memory of what it originally looked
like. After seeing this, some Rense readers might also recall the change
as well. Almost all respondents referred to a change in color or the lack
of dust on small features of the sundial, and only one referred to the
ring around the outside which anchors the sundial to the rover as being
different. It may be true that this ring is also different as well.
-
- At this point you may be wondering how this change could
be possible. Consider that your mind exists outside of space-time. Your
thoughts take place essentially at the quantum level, since they consist
of electrical and electrochemical actions. Even if the physical world were
to change you could still remember something as it originally was. For
example, most likely at some point in the past you observed an eclipse
of the Moon. This is something no one forgets.
-
- Although that eclipse you remember has long passed and
no longer exists, you can recall it anytime like the memory of a photograph
or a loved one. If another full eclipse was forecast to take place but
when it took place it only partially covered the moon instead, you would
know something is very wrong. Likewise, if you saw a photograph of an actual
full eclipse in a book which was captioned as a partial one, you would
also know something is wrong.
-
- This author was perhaps the first to notice the change
in the sundial. It was only after presenting the image to others or discussing
it with them, did they also recall that the protrusions around the base
of the shaft were not there before.
-
- Did someone go back in time and make a suggestion to
Bill Nye ("the science guy") to add the protrusions to the design?
He is credited with conceiving the sundial/photometric calibration target
combination. Did they suggest to him that these protrusions would enhance
it's operation? We may never know. And perhaps Bill Nye may not even know
a subtle suggestion took place, if the suggestion was made in a subtle
manner. The fact that apparently not one photograph exists anywhere without
these protrusions (except the photo specially created for this report)
substantiates the fact that every photograph related to this in the present
has been changed. Only the memory of the sundial as it originally was designed
exists, and nothing else.
-
- At first glance, this might appear to be a very minor
issue. But the impact of altering the past which instantly changes the
present can be staggering. What other events may have been altered in the
past, and who has the technology to time travel?
-
- I would also like to thank Jeff Rense for being open
minded on this matter, and for giving me the opportunity to field this
survey.

- IMPORTANT UPDATE on Survey Results
-
- Thanks to an email from a rense.com reader named Edd(?)
we have images of the sundial used on the first rover mission to Mars,
known as Pathfinder. This one is quite different from the current rover
sundials.
-
-
-
- Sundial on Pathfinder [1]
-
-
-
- Rover Sundial 2007
- Sundial as remembered by several people on Spirit
and Opportunity rovers (Above image altered to show it as remembered.)
-
- Note that the Pathfinder sundial does not have the gear-like
ring present on the current Spirit and Opportunity rovers. It does have
different color reference markers however.

and Opportunity sundial as it appears today.
