The Analemma Fractal and the Heart

The Analemma Ventricular Myocardial Band

If you are unfamiliar with the Analemma of the sun, it is the name for the shape the sun draws out over the year according to time. If you photograph the sun at the same time everyday (at noon for example) with a fixed position and when you put all the photos together; you will notice that the sun has traced out a figure-eight path. This is looking South, so East is on the Left.

What this shows us is that the relative speed of the sun in the sky changes over time. During the Fall, the sun’s position is later in the day then it should be meaning that it is moving relatively faster than it should be (partially responsible for the decrease in energy from the sun, triggering the seasonal change in plants, etc).

When we approach the Winter Solstice, around December 21st, the relative speed of the sun finally begins to decrease thus increasing the time solar energy can influence the Earth. Interestingly during the Spring Equinox the sun will not be at the expected time but will still be behind time. Then between Spring and Summer it will begin to increase in relative speed but half way through the season it flips over and begins to decrease in speed toward the Summer Equinox before slowing down again after… This causes the increase in temperature but it doesn’t last long. Between Summer and Fall the sun does the exact opposite as it does in Spring; it slows and then speeds up again as we move toward Fall.

From Spring to Fall the analemma is seemingly rotating in a counter-clockwise direction from the observer. From Fall to Spring it is moving clockwise. Spring through Fall exhibits the same behavior as the bottom of the heart where it slows the blood flow before reversing it.

When you graph the time differences you will get what is called the Equation of Time. A graph depicting the change in time the sun portrays. When you compare this to the Left Ventricle Functions over time, there are some similarities. Of course it’s not exact but there seems to be some correlation. Maybe coincidence?

The Basic Take-away here is that the Heart is a copy of the Earth and its magnetic field. The Heart is behaving like a magnetic pole and the blood is the magnetic field in this case.

The Daily Analemma

Here is something only a hand-full of people know. If you motion capture the sun’s path over the course of the day but maintain a constant speed of rotation around 360 degrees over 24 hours and without changing the declination of the camera, the sun will trace out the analemma as it rises and sets. So not only does it do this on a yearly cycle but it also does this on a daily cycle showing you a fractal relationship. These two motions mirroring themselves is unexplained with our current understanding of solar motion. Perhaps that is why it is not so well known?
