Saturn south pole decagon and Howard's simulation

Key Takeaways

The wave	On Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2026, NASA and the European Space Agency said Hubble had found a giant, evolving, 10-sided atmospheric wave around Saturn's south pole. It is the first large regular-sided jet pattern reported in that hemisphere.
The simulation	Terrence Howard said at 2:53 that he and colleagues rebuilt Saturn in a simulator without gravity, dark matter, or dark energy. NASA, ESA, Science News, and a Berkeley lab account do not describe that model.
The mismatch	The northern hexagon has six sides and has lasted more than 40 years. Amy Simon of NASA said the southern feature is different and appears to be strengthening. It has 10 sides.
The table	Howard said elements are missing before hydrogen. The National Institute of Standards and Technology lists hydrogen as element 1.

Actor Terrence Howard said on Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2026, that a gravity-free simulation had rebuilt Saturn and that the planet's poles must mirror each other. He was speaking on a 363 Empire livestream about the Saturn south pole decagon that NASA and the European Space Agency reported on Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2026.

The Saturn south pole decagon on Hubble

NASA and the European Space Agency said on Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2026, that Hubble had found a giant, evolving, 10-sided atmospheric wave around Saturn's south pole. NASA's article and ESA release heic2612 call it the first large regular-sided jet pattern in the planet's southern hemisphere. Science News reported that day that the result was published in Science Advances.

Amy Simon, a co-author at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, told ESA, "We've never seen anything quite like this in Saturn's southern hemisphere." The northern hexagon "has been there every time we've looked for more than 40 years," she said. The southern feature "appears to be strengthening."

Lead author Agustín Sánchez-Lavega, of the University of the Basque Country, told ESA the search went back to 1990, because Saturn's jet streams are symmetric north to south. Cassini, in orbit from 2004 to 2017, "showed no inkling of a long-lived formation," he said. Hubble data show the wave by 2023. He and amateur astronomers Trevor Barry and Jean-Paul Oger noticed an undulating southern band in ground images in 2024, ESA said.

Science News added that Voyager saw the northern hexagon in 1980 and 1981, and that the south pole was turned away from Earth from 2012 until 2023. When the decagon formed is not known. Michael Wong of the University of California, Berkeley, told the university's Space Sciences Lab, "A few years ago, this feature wasn't there." The lab wrote that Cassini saw a polygonal perturbation near 60.5 degrees south in 2004 that lasted only a few days. Sánchez-Lavega's published account there is a shallow-water model of a jet.

Howard's gravity-free Saturn claim

Howard said at 2:53, "And we were able to rebuild Saturn in a simulator without gravity, without dark matter, without dark energy, proving all of their models wrong." He placed the work on the day before a clip the host called 2019, and he named Chris and David Johnson as collaborators. The NASA, ESA, and Science News accounts do not describe that run.

Host Richard read NASA's first two sentences and stopped, before the line that the wave is similar to the hexagon "but is also distinctly different."

At 5:16 Howard said, "Now at the time we were unaware of the the decagon at the bottom of it," after saying the simulator rebuilt the northern hexagon. Science News said that pole was out of Earth's view from 2012 to 2023, which means a 2019 run had no southern decagon in view to check.

A colleague the host called chief technology officer said at 7:16, "there was no gravity in the model. It was just the resistance of the opposing vortices pointing at each other." He was unsure whether it used 12 or 16 vortices. At 7:44 he said he was not surprised by a "decadon," and the group then said decahedron. A decagon has 10 sides. A decahedron is a 10-faced solid. NASA and ESA describe a 10-sided wave. Captions spell him Ely, Cely, and Sely. A patent lists co-inventor Chris Seely. Billy Carson said a star tetrahedron inside Saturn would mark both poles. The papers describe a 10-sided jet wave, not that solid and not a six-sided twin.

The 4 percent, the patents, and hydrogen

Howard said at 3:06, "you only have 4% of the universe that's actually visible," and he called the rest "dark matter and dark energy" about which "They just don't have any clue." ESA's Planck release of Thursday, March 21, 2013, put normal matter at 4.9% of the mass-energy density and dark matter at 26.8%, "detected indirectly by its gravitational influence." Four percent is close to 4.9%. The decagon papers do not remove gravity or dark matter.

U.S. 11,117,065, issued Tuesday, Sept. 14, 2021, lists T. Dashon Howard and describes the Lynchpin structures Howard discussed, with propulsion devices. U.S. 11,460,260, issued Tuesday, Oct. 4, 2022, lists T. Dashon Howard and Chris Seely. Its abstract describes an electric pulse that drives a projectile. The text cites a 2000 Journal of Plasma Physics paper, "Arc-liberated chemical energy exceeds electrical input energy," as a hypothesis about a water-arc blast. It does not report a test in which this team's trigger returned more energy than it used. The colleague's "stacking waves" line at 25:50 is not that test.

Howard said at 1:50:17 that elements are missing before hydrogen, and he credited Walter Russell's 1926 book The Universal One with 21 of them. NIST's elemental index lists hydrogen as element 1. The host said at 9:49 that David Wilcock died in May, in what was called a suicide. The Boulder County Sheriff's Office said on Thursday, April 23, 2026, that Wilcock died at home on Monday, April 20, and the family said he took his own life. April 20 is not May. At 21:48 the host said Elon Musk "said patents are for the weak." CNBC reported Musk told Jay Leno those words for a show that aired Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2022.
