The solar system's up-and-down motion across our galaxy's disc periodically exposes it to higher doses of dangerous cosmic rays, new calculations suggest. The effect could explain a mysterious dip in the Earth's biodiversity every 62 million years. The solar system moves through the Milky Way rather like a child on a merry-go-round. It completes a circuit of the galaxy once every 225 million years or so but as it goes it bobs up and down through the dense galactic disc. Previous research had suggested this motion might affect Earth's climate as the solar system passes through the giant hydrogen clouds concentrated in the galaxy's spiral arms. Some researchers have said these clouds could be dense enough to sprinkle the Earth's atmosphere with dust, blocking out sunlight and cooling the planet.

Here is a link that talks about the photon belt and energy/dimension changes.

This is another great link that confirms this strong cloud of energy being introduced in our Solar System!

Talks aboust NASA's confirmation and how this was foreseen in the Bible!
Question
What do we know about the so-called Photon Belt? Are we, as a solar system entering this area in space? I have read that this belt is so wide it takes us about 2000 years to get through it. Will we have any effects from this and if so what? This concept was proven by Fredrick Wilhelm Bessel with his discovery that the stars in the Pleiades had a proper motion of 5.5 seconds of arc per century. Jose Comas Sola further postulated that the Pleiades and a number of other stars formed a distinct system. Paul Otto Hesse also studied this system and discovered at absolute right angles to the movement of the stars, a photon belt or manasic ring with a thickness of approximately 2000 light years.
Answer
My job is not dull; I never cease to be amazed at the crazy ideas that are circulating and the number of gullible people who fall for them. The photon belt is one of the craziest. The explanation given by the questioner is correct until it comes to Paul Otto Hesse, who was not an astronomer but wrote in 1950 a supposedly prophetic book called Der Jüngste Tag (The Last Day), which has been taken up by some in the New Age movement. According to Wikipedia, "The core of the Photon Belt beliefs is that there is an immense belt of photons orbiting around the Pleiades. According to some New Age beliefs, Earth will pass though this belt of photons, resulting either in humanity's elevation to a higher plane of existence, or the end of the world." en.wikipedia.org... This mystical belief has nothing to do with science, and in addition the concept of a belt of orbiting photons is absurd. Photons are light, not particles, and they move in nearly straights lines, not orbiting around anything, let alone the Pleiades star cluster, which is 400 light years away.

The Photon Belt (also called the Photon Band, Photon Ring, Manasic Ring, or Golden Nebula) is a pseudo-scientific belief,
