Lociscope Summary

I started this new blog thread to document a dangerously-close-to-the-fringe project that I've been working on for the last couple of months. I was worried that science may have overlooked other ways to communicate long distances without the use of electromagnetic waves (link to Back-Story). I am interested in looking at locally produced point sources of randomness and to demonstrate that they contain no directional component.  

This experiment uses the random sawtooth signal produced by a zener diode in series with a resistor (link to A Simple Zener Diode Circuit and link to Zener Signal Amplification).  The Lociscope uses the line though two zener diode point sources of randomness, to scan an arc across the sky (pole to pole) each minute. As the earth turns on it's axis, the entire cosmos is scanned each day. 

The amount of agreement between the rates of zener discharge is determined every one millisecond. The amount of agreement is converted to a color (red to blue) and is plotted to a celestial coordinate map, with a horizontal axis of 24 hours (Right Ascension) and with a vertical axis of the distance from the ecliptic (Declination). 

The images produced by the Lociscope, appear to be random and homogeneous, with no discernable hot spots or cold spots. I conclude that there are no directional components to this experiment (link to The Lociscope).
