Of all the planets in our solar system, none has been discussed on these
pages more than the planet
Mars.
From geological evidence of global electrical
scarring in the past, to a continuous stream of space data indicating electrical
phenomena occurring today, Mars has more than earned its distinction as a laboratory
in space, offering an ideal proving ground for the electric hypothesis. The focus
of the first installment of this two-part series is Mars today.
To say that the Martian realm challenges conventional schools of meteorology
and planetary science is a profound understatement. From
"towering
electrified
dust devils" the size of Mt. Everest, to the
global
Martian dust storms, to
bizarre
"spider"
formations in the planet's southern polar regions,
attempts to explain the Martian weather and geophysical anomalies from the
traditional textbooks have resoundingly failed. These "mysteries"
are not nearly so mysterious from an electrical vantage point, which views Mars
as a charged body interacting with the electric field of the Sun.
This video, like many of the articles on this site, asserts that the electric
force is essentially ignored by modern astronomers, and has been for decades.
Recently, one of the more vociferous self-described "skeptics" of
the Electric Universe
commented, “Magnetism is a very important topic
in astrophysics
(despite some
pseudoscientists lying and saying this force is
ignored), but it's not well-understood.” The "lying pseudoscientists"
remark features a hyperlink to a forum discussion of the Electric Universe.
The above proclamation is disingenuous even by the standards of said
self-described "skeptic." I've read and occasionally contributed to
this website for 5 years, and I'm not aware of an instance when anyone with
the Thunderbolts group has claimed that "magnetism is ignored in
astrophysics." Rather, proponents of the Electric Universe and Plasma Cosmology -
including
many professional electrical engineers and plasma physicists - all agree that
mainstream astrophysicists and astronomers do not understand - and yes IGNORE -
the well-documented relationship between electricity and magnetism. The self-described
"skeptic" is not behaving like a skeptic, but a pseudoskeptic, relying
on absurd straw men and personal derision. Since it is NOT the position of Electric
Universe proponents that astrophysicists "ignore magnetism," one must ask,
who is "lying" here?
Thunderblog's own
Michael
Gmirkin sums up the absurdity of the purported skeptic's
ad hominem with some pithy replies over on the
Thunderbolts Forum:
What is so doggedly difficult about this Phil??
Magnetism is predicated on electric currents. Period. Look it up. Such silly
statements about magnetism being a terribly difficult problem to understand
should be embarrassing.
The only problem is that astronomers like yourself steadfastly refuse to acknowledge
or talk about electric currents in space. Please get your scientific house in order
in astronomy. Learn from a competent electrical engineer or a plasma physicist who
knows what they're talking about, and stop showing your ignorance of the relationship
between electricity and magnetism. Or, better yet, LOOK IT UP!
"Magnetic fields are produced by electric currents, which can be macroscopic
currents in wires, or microscopic currents associated with electrons in atomic
orbits."

Thunderbolts of the Gods by David Talbott and Wallace Thornhill
introduces the reader to an age of planetary instability and earthshaking
electrical events in ancient times. The 108-page full-color monograph,
based on the life work of the two authors, offers a revolutionary synthesis
of historical investigation and the newly-discovered "Electric Universe."

Thunderbolts of the Gods is now packaged with the 65-minute DVD,
“Thunderbolts - The Tutorial.” This film introduces you to
the key themes of the theory, and includes interviews with the principal
figures in Electric Universe research.
