Why Lightning Zigzags

  • Lightning zigzags because it passes through multiple heat accumulations in the cosmic gas rather than a single point.
  • These heat points influence the irregular, snapping path of lightning from high altitude toward the earth.

Earth's Tetrahedral Shape

  • The earth's true shape is not a smooth sphere, but a rounded tetrahedron formed by four joined triangular pieces.
  • Volcano locations follow these tetrahedral edges, showing the earth is patched together, not fully sealed like a globe.

Volcanoes Mark Earth's Edges

  • Volcanic mountains align along the tetrahedral edges where the earth was imperfectly joined and heat can seep in.
  • This imperfect joining allows cosmic warmth from the sun to penetrate and create volcanic activity.
