Or maybe a super intelligent shade of the color blue?

We rise above the plane then sink below--like a sine wave.
Why? I have no idea. I have a strong suspicion that we (solar system) were part of another, smaller galaxy that merged with the Milky Way. That would explain a couple things like the sinusoidal movement and why the Milky Way looks perpendicular to the solar system plane at times. But that is my best guest as I am not a astrophysicist.

Suddenly the "simplistic" notion of the "music of the spheres" doesn't seem so outlandish!
Check my post out in Space Exploration about sound and frequency and orbits: NASA has discovered 7 Earth-like planets orbiting a star.
Cool jazz!

With all the talk of an extra planet lately, and the uptick in earthquakes and other weird natural phenomenon around the world, I've had a few ideas.
What if it isn't an actual planet at all but some type of weird space weather that travels through our solar system every so often? And disrupts our planet causing all types of natural disasters that when combined, spell out an extinction level event?
All we really know about the universe is what we can observe from this distant rock. In thinking about this, it raises more questions. Is there any type of known space weather or anything similar that could cause changes on a planetary scale?
I'm curious what type of forces would be required to effect a planet in that way, and if it's even possible.
Any ideas?

I thought our solar system was passing through the galactic plane which was the cause of all the 2012 doom porn.
Maybe we actually are going through the plane after all. Just a thought.
Something for me to do a little research on.
Wait? Are you suggesting that earth and everything around us is shifting into another galaxy or plane of existence? Sounds interesting but why?

We are so small, the apparent spiral of the galaxy is nothing more than polarized light entering and reflecting from the core . Imagine a hallway that looks curled as a pigs tails, but when you walked it, you would never go upside down in reality, but as seen by others back home, and by those awaiting you you would be looping your way down a spiral.
This is the mechanism of polarity, and creation of 3d space out of 2d: Sine wave spiraling in, square wave pulsing out. It is also the reason endless galaxies are observed : they are the same galaxies light at differ points in time, repeating over and over as it spirals out.. This is 100% fact, proven by the observation of ice, of all things, leaving the projective plane manifold known as a galaxy.
The cosmic topologists happened to notice a repeating pattern that could not be explained in any other way, and have probably all been murdered for it since, as I've not heard anything about this evidence, anywhere, other than directly from the observers behind the scope years ago.

So it isn't unheard of to think that the different areas of space we pass through might effect us, through gravitational anomalies or maybe something else..
When you talk about gravitational disturbances, what type of phenomenon do you think that could entail?

Since it takes around 230 million years for our galaxy to rotate around the milky way it seems entirely possible to me that we may go through areas of space with different properties.
Maybe the time involved in between events is so large our species doesn't really have a concept of it yet. We haven't been here long enough to really observe it.
