"It's a mystery to me how comets work at all."
--Donald Brownlee, principal investigator of NASA's Stardust Mission
No phenomenon in the observed Universe has been a source of more continuous
surprises than comets. In fact, despite the exterior confidence by astronomers
and astrophysicists that "all is well" in mainstream cometology,
researchers have been so baffled by unexpected discoveries that conventional
comet theory no longer exists!
"We have now had four close encounters with comets, and every
one of them has thrown astronomers onto their back foot."
--Stuart Clark, New Scientist, September 09, 2005.
Yet comets are still touted as "Rosetta Stones" allowing us to decipher
the formation of the solar system. The "dirty snowball" hypothesis,
considered theoretical bedrock for decades, has failed resoundingly at predicting
comet behavior and, more recently, comet composition. The above video presentation
enumerates the steady stream of comet "mysteries" that have left astronomers
groping for answers. And we ask the question: what might the clear-cut falsification
of the standard comet model mean for the future of science?

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.
