Irregular thinking

You've got air shaped like a hexagon for 26 years at Saturn's north pole. Is it really air? Which is more likely: Solid, liquid or gas? OK, by all means raise the question of arcane magnetic fields or plasma sheaths causing such geometry, but surely it must cross some scientist's mind that they might be looking at something solid? By all means, it could be wrong and probably is, but surely it is worth a mention. It is as though they have been hypnotised by the eye of Jupiter first of all. A 300 year old storm - how long do storms last on Earth?

So once again... If the Saturn anomaly had been a rectangle of 1:4:9 we’d be building the spaceship to get there, but it is only a hexagon made of air that has persisted for at least 26 years. After taking off the Joo Janta spectacles, we might be inclined to think that solids are much more likely to take hexagon shapes than liquids or gases. And a solid hexagon circling Saturn’s north pole might just pique the curiosity of a few scientists just enough to dare to dream the impossible. Or is that asking too much?

Is that it may be a magnetic crystal geological formation. A crystal core. There's stuff so weird out there that we haven't even thought of it yet. What does the other pole look like? Is there another?

The real pity is that the Scientific Community, as well as, other Academic, Political, and Economic Communities are too willing to accept answers that don't disturb the status que. It could be anything; but, in my opinion, gas is not extremely likely. On the other hand, Jupiter's red spot has been probed and it seem to be an atmospheric disturbance of some kind. The questions are, "What Caused It?" and "What's Maintaining It?".

What do you think?

I am wondering if the hexagonal shape is really a constant, persistent feature, or a typical, normal weather pattern.
What we have for evidence are two sets of photographs, 27 years apart. Is the "old" hexagon still there, or is there a new one?

If you look at weather patterns of Antarctica, you will see a number of storms circling the south pole, usually just outside the land mass. To an outside observer who only takes pictures occasionally, this could look like persistent storms, that last for decades. Ask the weather offices in Argentina or New Zealand whether this is true.

It is another possibility and that is my point! We need to consider possibilities until we have done research reveals the answer and we haven't done enough research yet. So, we really don't know!

What do you think?

Hi Jameske,

This geometry isnt as unusual as you think, here on earth we find 5 sided storms, the eye of a big hurricane is shaped lik that. Sure the scale on Saturn is awesome, but what intrigues me more why we on earth have a pentagram and Saturn storms produces hexagrams, is it a question of scale or substance ?
As for scientists kissing the biggest arse, yes well our brilliant biased brains have declared they know it all, so its put or shut up for anyone daring to rock the boat, heretic ! Burn the heretic !, Take away his money, his job, his (family)life !

Seen in such a light, this unexpected, unexplained occurance at Saturn is a blessing for those real scientists and real sceptics.

A matter of choice;
Intimidation, corruption and lies, or serenity, sharing and sincerity.
