Cosmic Influence on Volcanoes
- Some volcanoes like Etna and Vesuvius erupt not along tetrahedral edges but due to cosmic constellations.
- When the sun shines more strongly, unobstructed by stars, at certain places volcanic eruptions can occur.
Falb's Star-Mining Anecdote
- Falb, a former priest turned researcher, linked star constellations to volcanoes and mining dangers.
- At a lecture, he staged a dramatic proof of his theory with a just-timed telegram about fire damp.

- Volcanic eruptions originate from cosmic heat entering the earth at imperfect junctions, not from a fiery molten core.
