lol I wish I was that smart. I hope you can differentiate a style, and I cannot speak about anything in specifics like he can.

Except there is no research that suggests we are entering the Galactic Plane. All the research I have found supports the claim that we last passed through it 3 millions years ago and will not be reaching its outer edges again for another 30-40 millions years. Then there's the fact that it would take thousands, if not millions, of years to actually cross the Galactic Plane. Then throw in the fact that for the most part the Galactic Plane is ambiguously defined it becomes impossible to actually point to a specific date as the one when we cross the Galactic Plane.

He's been there, done that. given specifics, that is. They were first stolen and plagiarized then deleted.

I talked to him many times respectfully asking him questions about things I didn't understand. Even what I disagreed one. He never was an ass to me, because I wasn't an ass to him. This is pretty easy to understand, why can't you?

that's a good point, could be that just like a person getting older, you don't have as many new ideas to share. he might have already shared them all in specifics, got run over by a freight train and decided you know what? people are going to believe what they want and reject what they reject. and if the world as we know it is going to end soon, then there's not much point in trying too hard to get that longed-after but so elusive recognition one deserves.

Here's two things you need to realize. First:
Two consequences of collisions and tidal encounters with such clouds that may have large ultimate biological impact have been suggested. First, if actual penetration of the cloud occurs, the cloud particle density of n>10^2 cm^-3 would probably shut off the solar wind at Earth distance, as Begelman and Rees have shown. Such a cloud could then directly pollute the Earth's upper atmosphere with hydrogen gas, leading to a variety of possible climatic effects. A larger cloud density of n>10^3cm^-3 would also raise the Sun's luminosity significantly through gravitational accretion and so would directly affect insolation on the Earth. To traverse a cloud of radius 5 pc at a relative speed of 20kms^-1 requires 0.5 Myr.

Second, look up at the sun.
One more bonus: the recent solar winds reversal as evidenced by our magnetosphere just a few short weeks ago.

did you even look at the paper in my link? you couldn't have possibly digested it all in this short amount of time.

you could look at it that way, sure, and post any silly YT video to back your claims. Or you can see it for what it really is. One gets tired of having work stolen and work not acknowledged. Now your argument isn't anything new, and I suppose neither is mine. We both stated our cases, so there's no need to keep saying the same thing over and over. The last person who posts their shtick doesn't make them right by being the last one in the post. So if you please, bring something new so I can respond to it, if I can. This bit I think is more like beating a dead horse. Respond to something more substantive, like the paper I referenced which includes the sun's increased luminosity for example. While it may not seem like on topic to the casual observer, the wise reader knows that it all plays together to establishing the credibility of even the seemingly incredible (the OP, i.e.).
