THUNDERBLOG FOR THIS WEEK:

"Max-Planck's Cartoon Capers - an Hilarious Black Hole Tale"
 By Dave Smith

It would be funny if it wasn't so serious. Somewhere in the halls of Max-Planck 
lurks an artist who was actually paid to give us this cartoon. I laughed out 
loud when I first saw it on spacedaily, as has everyone I've shown it to. And 
who wouldn't...

THUNDERBOLTS PICTURE OF THE DAY (TPOD)

Apr 28, 2008
Martian Water Features
Structures on Mars that resemble Earth’s hydrothermal vents or eroded mounds 
have sparked renewed interest in water flowing over the Red Planet. Are they 
evidence for scars from electric arcs instead?

Particle Sorting on Asteroid Itokawa
Scientists report that impact vibrations are causing rocks and gravel on the 
surface to sort themselves by size. But is the mechanical vibration theory 
correct?

Pillars of Desolation
Rather than being a “stellar nursery” the famous dust clouds in the Eagle Nebula 
may have already been destroyed.

Bringing in the May
The Maypole epitomizes the spirit of the religions that prevailed in northern 
Europe before Christianity was adopted and provides an ideal test case for the 
methodology employed in a comparative study of myth and ritual.

A Sea of Holes
“The black holes of nature are the most perfect macroscopic objects there are in 
the universe: the only elements in their construction are our concepts of space 
and time.” Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar

THUNDERBOLTS FORUM--HIGHLIGHTS

"Plasma Science and the Origins of Mythology"
This popular thread, reawakened this past week, looks at the
bridge between plasma science and the "Saturn Hypothesis."
http://thunderbolts.info/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=269

"The Sun Calls the Tune?"
Solar activity determines the frequency and severity of terrestial thunderstorms
http://www.thunderbolts.info/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=452

"Merging Galaxies"
Some links with photos provide a fascinating discussion of the Electric 
Universe's perspective on the subject of colliding galaxies
http://www.thunderbolts.info/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=434

"A couple of Planetary science questions?"
Do electric currents from the Sun have an effect on a planet's rotation?
http://www.thunderbolts.info/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=449

"Huge Black Hole Catapulted Through Space"
Despite numerous claims of fact, one has yet to see anything but an artist 
impression of a black hole. Despite the fact no one has isolated a gravity wave, 
they claim to have found that too. How much dogma can be presented as fact?
http://www.thunderbolts.info/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=464

"The heating effect of an electric current"
With global warming on the wane we ask the question, in a EU, how much effect 
would electric current have on our planets temperature?
http://www.thunderbolts.info/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=424

"Gravity Test / Boyd Bushman"
A member is eager to test a simple experiment with gravity and powerful magnets.
http://www.thunderbolts.info/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=469

"Ralph Sansbury's Model"
An interesting discussion with members concerning the model of light.
http://www.thunderbolts.info/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=384

"Ben Stein's Expelled"
Art imitates Life in this thread. Members explore free thinking with common 
sense.

"Recovered: Transmutation on Stars, Planets etc"
One of the interesting threads recovered from the old forum is now receiving 
more attention.
