Why new ice is not forming in the northern areas of Enceladus all the time?

Why new ice is not forming in the northern areas of Enceladus all the time?


The thing that makes the new ice on the Enceladus moon interesting is that there is no observation about the new ice on the northern pole on Enceladus before(1). Enceladus is well-known because of its icy geysers, but those geysers are only at the south pole of Enceladus. And the question is that if those geysers are active all the time, we must ask where the water comes to Enceladus?  

How long takes, that this mysterious water world is going to empty? And the second question is why those icy geysers existed normally in the south pole of that moon? Is there some kind of mountain or hill on the nucleus, which causes a more powerful whirl on the southern side of that moon? There is only the small possibility that there is so much radioactive material in the nucleus of Enceladus, that it can form enough high temperature that the oceans are liquid on the surface of that moon.

So there is some external reason, why there is liquid water on the surface of Enceladus. And that external reason is the gravity of the planet Saturn and its moons. 

The tidal forces that are causing by the gravity of Saturn and its other moons are keeping the temperature under the ice above zero degrees Celsius.  Or the rotation movement of the nucleus of Enceladus is keeping the ocean in the liquid form. Near the southern pole are the mysterious stripes. Those stripes have an explanation of the waves that are forming under the ice(3). 

The question about the ocean of that world is it melted all the time, or does the entire ocean got the seasons, where it is iced to bottom. And the other question is, where Enceladus has been formed. And where that water on that moon has been coming from? 

The reason why scientists are not sure, why there is new ice forming on the mysterious Enceladus moon is that if the hypothetic whirl, along with friction what is causing by the fast rotating nucleus of that moon is causing the forming of the ice is not stable. If the new ice is forming only in certain periods, that thing means that the rotation speed of the nucleus of the Enceladus is not stable. And the other question is, why that new ice is forming at the southern pole, as I wrote before?

And something accelerates and slows the rotation speed of the nucleus. That means that the level of friction is also decreasing and increasing. But this thing is only a hypothesis, and the reason, why the new ice is not forming all the time is a mystery.

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.

 Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.  The modern Hounds of Baskerville ABW:s (Advanced biological weapons are the modern Hounds of Baskerville. The term ABV means the animal which is genetically engineered. And which is controlled by using some interactive electronic systems. There is a possibility to connect the action camera to dogs collars. And transmit commands to that animal by using electronic systems. Spoken words can use to the commands.  Or they can be a series of sounds that are stored in the sound files. When the operator activates a certain file that sound means a certain command to the animals. There is the possibility to automatize some commands by connecting the system to the image recognition tool. When the action camera sees something that is stored in the memory of the computer. That system sends the coded order to the animal.  Nanotechnology and genetic engineering are the most lethal combination in the world. The ABW:s (Advanced Biological ...

The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta"

    Image I The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta" Sometimes there have been discussions that the mysterious TR3A "Black Manta" was a study project for the B-2 bomber.  That means that TR3A was used as the flying mockup for testing the aerodynamic and control solutions for the B-2 "Spirit" bomber. The thing that supports this thing is that the manufacturer of both planes is Northrop corporation.  Along with "Aurora" was flying one other mysterious aircraft, TR3A "Black Manta". The system is described as the "Stealth VTOL" (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Unless the mysterious TR3B, the Northrop TR3A is the conventional VTOL-aircraft, what is using regular jet engines, but what has the stealth-body.  Image II The thing is that the stealth-reconnaissance aircraft, which uses a similar technology with the Northrop B-2 bomber would be an interesting part of the weapon arsenal. There is a possibility that the TR3A was...
