Cataclysm Mars - Global inverted symmetry

Unread post by Arcmode » Fri Oct 28, 2022 1:27 am

We all know about Mars' unbalanced hemispheres and Wal’s superimposition of a barred spiral over Valles Marineris, but I wondered if I could take it further. Turns out Mars displays a global inverted symmetry in the arrangement of landforms and relative distribution of high and low elevation areas.

First an image to explain inverted symmetry and my seemingly made-up concept - double inversion symmetry:

https://freeimage.host/i/b2GjhF

Next, see if you can see the double inversion symmetry in this image:

https://freeimage.host/i/b2GeEJ

Now take a look at this - Cylindrical map bound at Valles Marineris antipodes - Major landforms and Valles Marineris region with the canyon’s center as the inversion point. Landforms and elevation balanced in double inversion symmetry:

And this - Terrain selected up to a certain elevation then a filter applied and flipped 180, then overlaid on the southern hemisphere. Very good match:

And this - The antipodes of the Valles Marineris inversion point from the second image. More symmetry:

A coherent global pattern suggests a single catastrophic event for the formation of all major landforms. The only outliers are Isidis Planitia, the large crater north-west along the elevation border in the last image, and to a lesser extent Olympus Mons. I believe these are connected, due to them both being separate from the main pattern but also because their distance apart around the planet is right on the golden ratio. They possibly relate to a secondary event but I'm still looking into it.

I really like the direction you are taking this.

If you get to the point of publishing something, I hope you have an opportunity to do so.

I may have two suggestions for that step, when you get to it.

There's a channel on yt called IC Devices. He looks very closely at pictures from Mars and processes them in different ways. It may come in handy :

Also here are the landing sites of the rovers, so it's handy for the thread :

~More resources on Mars~

Real Mars Mysteries for NASA's Curiosity | Space News

Dave Talbott discusses the "split personality" of Mars --

"But the questions are not being asked. Just consider for example the mystery of the Martian profile as a whole
where you have such a split personality, completely unexplained.
Two hemispheres so radically different. In the North, virtually no craters. In the south dense cratering.
How could that be? We make assumptions about planetary evolution and hold on to those assumptions for decades after they've stopped working. The mysteries surrounding Martian geology
may run far deeper than the general public have been led to believe.
The key piece of evidence is the shape of the planet.
The northern hemisphere is actually lower than the southern hemisphere
and it's not just that that planet was somehow squeezed into an odd shape.
The definitive consideration is the crustal depth.
For reasons that no planetary scientist has explained,
the crust of the northern hemisphere has been excavated.
It's been eaten away, up to 6 miles deep.
And there is one force only that could achieve hemispheric excavation of a planet.
That force is electric discharge in an age of planetary instability and violence."

There's nothing in geology as it's taught that can create a global symmetric pattern, as far as I know anyway. Maybe tectonics could, under some special conditions, create symmetrical patterns across an entire planet, but here we see the pattern includes exogenic agents as well, such as with the big craters.

Wal Thornhill thinks Mars took multiple hits as it moved between Earth and Saturn (I think) but this pattern seems to indicate a single major event, at the most two, with the secondary one (involving Olympus Mons and Isidis Planitia) being much smaller scale.

Thanks for the links Brigit, some great stuff there. I've spent so much time with maps and surface imagery I've yet to get to the rovers so it's a good start for that. As I've gone along I've been surprised by how many resources are out there when you really look.

Oh sure, Arcmode, I just posted a few extra pictures and resources so it was handy on the thread. Some of what I posted is more "up close," while you are working on a single, global event.

The Electric Universe has always emphasized hemispheric dichotomies in the solar system. There are so many examples of hemispheric differences on the moons. It's a really amazing pattern, for which, I feel, electric birth and electric scarring offer the best explanations. But that doesn't mean that there is not more specific work to do on Mars -- there is plenty of room for Global Inverted Symmetry ! (:

There is an article on holoscience which discusses the symmetry of the Valles Marineris canyon.
https://www.holoscience.com/wp/spiral-g ... d-canyons/

It may be useful to incorporate, or it may have been a later scar. See how it fits. (:

That's the article that started me on this journey back in 2005 or so, that's why I mentioned it in my original post.

If you look at the images I posted, I have Valles Marineris as the inversion point of the whole pattern so I definitely think its part of the main event that went down.

Which other planets or moons have hemisphertic dichotomies? The dichotomy on Mars is integral to the inverted symmetric pattern. The border between high and low elevation hemispheres is itself symmetrical north to south. You can see it in my second last image.

Thank you Arcmode, for redirecting me to the OP. It had been a while since I had read it. And also, while your square topographical maps of Mars were wonderful for your purposes of showing global inverted symmetry, the Valles Marineras was hard for me to make out.

The following image is the way that I really see Mars:
https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/system/res ... -full2.jpg

Which may explain why I had forgotten, in a visual way, that you had included it so well in your original post ! (:

I hope that makes sense. I am committed to reading carefully before ever posting, but time slips by too.

That is a much better image of the canyon, yes. I used elevation maps because it's easier to make out the contrast between elevations, but I need to make a better set of images so it's more clear. Sorry if I was rude.

Of course not, we need to stay on topic.

I quite enjoyed the correction, actually. (:

Now on hemispheric dichotomies in the Electric Universe model, three examples come to mind: Mars, the Moon, and Triton.
I may have to start a separate topic on that because there are more.

"[C]raters are universally misinterpreted as impact craters. The sinuous channels are wrongly classified as riverbeds or lava channels. Minutes or hours of electrical scarring can produce a surface like that of the Moon, which is later interpreted in ad hoc fashion to be billions of years old. Hemispheric differences in cratering are expected in this model." ~synopsis
