We know that the Earth’s atmosphere can trap heat into the Earth. Perhaps it could also be considered that part of the reason for the Earth’s core holding onto as much heat as it does; is because the atmospheric lens; focuses heat at the center; and therefore adds heat at the image plane or axial line of force within the Earth.
Another oddity to consider. What is called a diamond pipe; is a circle on the Earth’s surface; which descends into the Earth as a cone. At the surface the so-called diamond pipe may be measured as much as a mile across; but can resemble a cone of ever decreasing size as you follow and mine the so-called diamond pipe down into the Earth. Common opinion has it that the pipe rises from below; from a volcanic hotspot. Perhaps instead; the cone shaped pipe is a circle with a cone descending into the Earth; because it’s created by our own atmospheric lens; as it acts as a huge magnifying glass; focusing its spear or cone of light from above into the Earth below!
The ancient view that the Earth is “Mother Earth,” or the egg of creation; is proven to be true when the alchemist can grow crystals; using the powers of the Sun; and the fertility cycle of our own Moon’s passage; and its monthly influences. All with the use of a convergent lens; or a parabolic mirror.
