The Hindu goddess Kali presents a truly terrifying specter in ancient Indic myth. Renowned for her rampage which threatened to destroy mankind, the goddess was distinguished by her abnormally protruding red tongue—which was expressly compared to the sword of sacrifice and described as miles-long in length. In their analyses of…
Our Sun has revealed another surprise. Researchers using the world’s largest solar telescope, the DKIST (Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope in Maui, Hawai’i), have observed extraordinarily tiny plasma vortices on the solar surface exposing a deeper, detailed level of organization. A paper published this August in Nature, “Ubiquitous Kelvin–Helmholtz instabilities…
A scientific discovery sheds new light on one of the most extraordinary so-called mysteries in the atmosphere of the gas giant Saturn. In 1981, NASA’s Voyager mission recorded the first images of what would become the iconic hexagon at Saturn’s north pole. The tornadic feature spanned roughly 30,000 km, two-times…
Inside every significant philosopher, astronomer or scientist is a geometer trying to get out. First principles of geometry taught atomic material is formed out of nested platonic solid spinning and that the spiral is a core structure. Witness the whirlpool—part of worldwide folklore and symbol for origins of life and…
Is Meteor Crater the showcase for the impact hypothesis that astronomers and geologists claim? Evidence for an electrical event is too clear to be ignored. Located 20 miles west of Winslow, Arizona USA, geologists confidently say the depression—more than 4,000 feet wide—was created 50,000 years ago when a giant rock…
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has not as yet overturned the Standard Model of Cosmology’s interpretation of Redshift. Although, the JWST has extended our observational reach into a region of cosmic history that, until very recently, existed entirely in theory and simulation. Edwin Hubble understood the distinction between observation…
Is there an Electric Universe perspective on time? Rather than to convince you that time has dimensions, the goal here is to convince you that our ancestors thought so. If you believe an ancient Japanese text which says that a new planet, Venus, entered our solar system, perhaps you will…
How do celestial objects form in the cosmos? At all cosmological scales in standard cosmology—from condensation of dirty snowball comets in a primordial nebular cloud; to gradual accretion of planets forming in a disc around a star; to gravitational collapse and compression of gas and dust in molecular clouds forming…
We have been taught that empty space is empty. Not quite nothing, perhaps. But certainly no substance. No medium. No hidden structure. The old concept of the Aether—once regarded as essential to understanding light, electricity and magnetism—was swept aside by the Michelson-Morley experiment and Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. The verdict…
Planets have been discovered when light from a selected star is observed and analyzed methodically. In many cases within these solar systems, we learn about each planet’s mass, orbital period, and atmospheric composition. In studying over a dozen known solar systems, their planets are found at ever increasing distances from…
