Abstract The variations of solar activity and distribution of solar energy due to the rotation of the Earth around its axis and around the Sun exert a strong influence on the self-organization of water molecules. As a result, the rate of hydrolytic processes with the participation of water clusters displays diurnal, very large annual variations, and is also modulated by the 11-year cycles of solar activity. It also depends on the geographic latitude and can be different at the same time in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. This phenomenon is well accounted for by the influence of muons on the self-organization of water molecules. Muons are constantly generated in the upper atmosphere by the solar wind. They reach the surface of the Earth and can penetrate to some depth underground. Buildings also absorb muons. For this reason, the rate of hydrolysis outside and inside buildings, as well as underground, can differ significantly from each other.

The variations of solar activity and distribution of solar energy due to the rotation of the Earth around its axis and around the Sun exert a strong influence on water clusters, as a result of which their chemical reactivity in hydrolytic processes can vary in a very wide range. This phenomenon is well manifested in the hydrolysis of the phosphoric acid esters. 5-Year regular investigations (2015-2019) of the hydrolysis of triethylphosphite in acetonitrile show that the rate of this reaction with all other conditions being equal displays diurnal and annual variations, and is also modulated by the 11-year cycles of solar activity.

Solar Influence

Radon (Rn-222; Rn) and Thoron (Rn-220; Tn) from the lowermost atmosphere in Arad, Romania, were investigated from 1993 to 2015. Daytime and night-time measurements exhibit (i) systematic differences; (ii) large annual variations; (iii) semi-annual and possibly ternary annual periodicities; (iv) amplitudes of the annual and semi-annual periodicities differ between daytime and night-time measurements. The day of year of the summer peak time (SPT) of the annual variation of composite Rn and Tn data depict smoothly covarying SPT patterns separated around 50 days. SPT patterns of daytime and night-time of Rn and Tn depict additional separations of gradually varying multi-year patterns. For both radionuclides, the night-time SPT precedes the daytime SPT—by around 105 days for Tn and around 60 days for Rn. In the case of temperature, the SPT of daytime and night-time measurements overlap at around day 195. Thus, for Rn and Tn, daytime and night-time differences depend on the time of measurement within the 24 h cycle. This implies that Rn and Tn measurements are influenced by the rotation of the Earth around its axis. It is suggested that these relations, observed in coexisting Rn and Tn, are a further indication for a solar (extraterrestrial) influence on nuclear radiation, previously suggested for radon.

Intrinsic circadian clocks generate circadian rhythms of physiology and behavior, which provide the capabilities to adapt to cycling environmental cues that result from the self-rotation of the Earth. Circadian misalignment leads to deleterious impacts on adaptation and health in different organisms. The environmental cues on the interplanetary journey to and on Mars dramatically differ from those on Earth. These differences impose numerous adaptive challenges, including challenges for humans’ circadian clock. Thus, adaptation of circadian rhythms to the Martian environment is a prerequisite for future landing and dwelling on Mars. Here, we review the progress of studies associated with the influence of the Martian environment on circadian rhythms and propose directions for further study and potential strategies to improve the adaptation of the circadian clock for future Mars missions.

Abstract. About 250 years ago L. Euler has derived a system of three quadratic-nonlinear differential equations to depict the rotation of the Earth as a rigid body. Neglecting a small distinction between the equatorial inertia moments, he reduced this system to much simpler linear one, and concluded that the Earth's pole must experience a harmonic oscillation of the 304-day period. Astronomers could not find this oscillation, but instead, S.C Chandler has found two powerful wobbles with the 12- and ~ 14-month periods in reality. Adhering to the Euler's linearization, astronomers can not explain the nature of the later wobble up to now. I indicate that the neglect by the above small distinction (“a small parameter” of the Euler's primary nonlinear equations) is not admissible because the effect of this parameter is singular. Analysing the primary equations by an asymptotic technique, I demonstrate that the Chandler wobble tones are formed from combinational harmonics of the Euler's 304-day oscillation, long-term Luni-Solar tides as well as the 22-year cycle of the heliomagnetic activity. Correlating simultaneous variations of the wobble and a solar activity index, I corroborate that the Chandler wobble is really affected by the Sun.

The Revolution

The vortex-induced vibration in east-west trending Humen Bridge in Guangdong, China is related to the self-rotation of the Earth, whereas the south-north trending Wuhan Parrot Island Bridge is more likely to be triggered by the revolution of the Earth around the Sun. In the early summer, the northern bank of Yangtze River is subjected to solar pull and decelerates more slowly towards the river with low density water. In late summer, the southern bank of the Yangtze River decelerates more slowly towards the river. These factors jointly contribute to the shortening of the distance between the piers of the bridge and trigger shaking of the bridge. Seismic activities are influenced by both self-rotation and revolution of the Earth.

The essay discusses selected poems from Thomas Hardy's vast body of poetry, focusing on representations of the self and the world. Employing Maurice Merleau-Ponty's concepts such as the body-subject, wild being, flesh, and reversibility, the essay offers an analysis of Hardy's poems in the light of phenomenological philosophy. It argues that far from demonstrating ‘cosmic indifference’, Hardy's poetry offers a sympathetic vision of interrelations governing the universe. The attunement with voices of the Earth foregrounded in the poems enables the self's entanglement in the flesh of the world, a chiasmatic intertwining of beings inserted between the leaves of the world. The relation of the self with the world is established through the act of perception, mainly visual and aural, when the body becomes intertwined with the world, thus resulting in a powerful welding. Such moments of vision are brief and elusive, which enhances a sense of transitoriness, and, yet, they are also timeless as the self becomes immersed in the experience. As time is a recurrent theme in Hardy's poetry, this essay discusses it in the context of dwelling, the provisionality of which is demonstrated in the prevalent sense of temporality, marked by seasons and birdsong, which underline the rhythms of the world.
