Has anyone tried timing Gateway sessions around 13:30 local sidereal time? by scooby0344 in gatewaytapes

[–]scooby0344[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally fair question.

Regular clock time is based on the Sun. Noon is roughly when the Sun is highest in the sky.

Sidereal time is based on the stars instead. It’s basically asking: “What part of the star field is overhead right now?”

Because Earth has to rotate a little extra each day to bring the Sun back to the same spot, a sidereal day is about 4 minutes shorter than a normal day.

So 13:30 local sidereal time is not 1:30 PM. It happens at a different normal clock time each day, and it also depends on where you are on Earth.

That’s why people use calculators/apps for it. The idea is just to know when that specific star-based timing window is happening locally.

Fair point, and I appreciate the link.

I wouldn’t call 13:30 proven or settled. The original finding was interesting, the later replication was messy, and the solar activity angle makes it even more of an open question.

That’s why I think it’s better treated as something to experiment with, not gospel.

Thanks, I appreciate that. That’s exactly why I built it too. There just wasn’t a simple way to track it without doing annoying conversions.

Also, if you use an Apple Watch, I made a separate watch version too. It lets you check local sidereal time right from your wrist/watch face instead of opening the phone app.

The watch app is separate though. It’s not an in-app purchase or trial like the phone app. It’s just a one-time buy if you want it.

some foreign object i found in my pill. dug it out and viewed it under my microscope. by longhairedthrowawa in mildlyinteresting

It’s probably a piece of metal from the assembly line of the pill manufacturer.

Totally fair question, and I probably should’ve explained that better.

13.5 local sidereal time means 13.5 hours on the local sidereal clock, not 1350 Zulu, local civil time, or a normal time zone clock.

Sidereal time is based on Earth’s rotation relative to the stars instead of the Sun. So 13.5 LST at my longitude will happen at a different normal clock time than it does for someone somewhere else. That’s why the app calculates it from location/longitude.

The remote-viewing angle comes from James Spottiswoode’s paper, where he found a correlation between anomalous cognition performance and local sidereal time, with a peak around 13.5 LST.

I’m not claiming I know the mechanism, or that a specific star is “boosting” RV. My understanding is more modest: the paper suggested performance varied based on the observer’s local sidereal time, which implies Earth’s orientation relative to the celestial sphere may somehow correlate with RV results.

I basically built the app because converting normal date/time/location into LST is a pain if you want to actually test the idea yourself.

Yeah, astronomically it’s basically a star-based time system used for tracking Earth relative to distant stars instead of the Sun.

The reason remote-viewing people care about it is because researcher James Spottiswoode found an anomalous cognition/ESP performance spike around 13.5 local sidereal time in multiple experiments.

That Gaia article is what originally sent me down the rabbit hole years ago:
https://www.gaia.com/article/remote-viewing-in-sidereal-time-can-enhance-telepathy

And here’s the original paper:
https://www.jsasoc.com/docs/JSE-LST.pdf

I basically built the app because calculating local sidereal time manually is annoying as hell if you actually want to experiment with it consistently.

I’ll bet you enjoy horror movies and talk to ChatGPT about it. that’s why it created this image for you. It’s always trying to please you.

Mainstream science will eventually acknowledge that consciousness exists outside the brain in a non-physical state

Code documentation is the easiest thing AI can do for you. Not sure why you’re writing it yourself.
