Electric Universe Conference to Kick Off January 6 in Las Vegas
Image
Annual Gathering Debuts with The Human Story

Please join us in a three-day journey through the Electric Universe. Explore with us the unified underpinnings of the natural world.

Witness how horizons expand through interdisciplinary collaboration and synthesis. Discover electric patterns repeating themselves at all scales, from the tiny world of the atom to the far reaches of space. Consider as well the electricity of life and the role of frequencies and resonance in biological systems. See how electricity helped researchers penetrate the great mysteries of the past, the origins of mythic archetypes and symbols, and the roots of cultural anxiety.

We have chosen as our symbol for the conference the primordial cosmic thunderbolt: Sanskrit [vajra], Tibetan [dorje], and Japanese [kongō]. We did so because, as a matter of record, it is this enigmatic “weapon of the gods” that bridges ancient worlds and the leading edge of plasma science.

Join Wallace Thornhill, Donald Scott, David Talbott and a full complement of Thunderbolts Project speakers in launching a new year of the Electric Universe—an unprecedented event that you will not want to miss.

Will there be the possibility of online participation ? Will video's be recorded of the event and put online ?

Thankyou ! Just watched these after viewing the Sky at Night in Britain. They actually had an astromoner explaining planetary nebulae formation by sprinkling pepper on a spinning water in a mixing bowl. Patrick Moore sat there saying nothing. I'm pretty sure Moore knows more than he lets on but he's wise enough to say nothing. Then after the show the next presentation was a show about the miracle of electricity (BBC4) :mrgreen:

The youtube links you posted are from the NPA meeting at University of Maryland. Nothing yet available from Las Vegas?

Thanks, shared it on reddit. Be sure to visit and vote it up. The Big Banger downvote brigade always tries to suppress the information.

I've just been watching the latest video release from the conference.
"SEEKING THE THIRD STORY" NOW ON YOUTUBE

This video presentation covers David Talbott's keynote presentation at the recent
conference, ELECTRIC UNIVERSE 2012—THE HUMAN STORY, January .

From the video information just posted:

"Author David Talbott suggests that all of human history can be seen as just two
stories. First, came the story of ancient mythology, when towering gods were said to
have ruled the world. Then came the story of science, emerging from a growing
distrust of the myths and a new emphasis on direct observation and reason.

"But a third story is possible, according to Talbott, one that sees the underlying
provocation of the myths in extraordinary electrical events occurring close to the
Earth. That discernment will lead to a new perspective on modern science as well.
Today, a third story IS possible. But it requires a reconsideration of both human
stories—that of myth and that of "settled science"—seeing both through the fresh
lens of the Electric Universe."

I was on the verge of scraping together enough for a plane ticket to LA but, alas, my funds were'nt enough. I'm not sure I would have "got" it anyway in early january. It's only really in the last few weeks that it's really hit home for me how the sun is a huge electical fusion plasma reactor that is the size of the solar system. With some other irrationalism-mystification-dogma falling away huge figures in the sky and planets in different orbits can be sanely considered as potentially real rather than outlandish. I have always had an interest in rock art which included them in my belief system as inspired by tribal psychedelic usage. So it took me a while to let in another viewpoint on that. If confirmed this could be one of the biggest hitorical revelations about human history since Graham Hancock and other researchers showed the sophisticated world wide nature of ancient culture thousands of years ago.

The thing is I've been so brainwashed by Reification of various Scientific concepts that the penny keeps leaping BACK into the bank. Maybe I need a well trained accountant to keep an eye on all those little pennies ? :roll:
That brings us to the problem: reification.

I know, another philosophy word. Basically, it means taking some abstract thing and making the mistake of thinking it's a real thing.

In this case, it seems that some astronomers and physicists have goofed and think that 'field lines' are real. They are not. They are lines on a page.

"With no Board of Directors, no CEO, and no commercial status, we are free to operate without the bindings which inevitably result from the undue influence of “vested interests” and as such our group is largely autonomous and voluntary."

In reading the "about" section on the thunderbolts.info website, I was encouraged to know that while seeking many venues to raise awareness of Electric Unviverse scientific work, and making many new contacts with scientists from all the branches of study, the Electric Universe maintains its independence and autonomy.

Any important changes in this respect, I hope, would be openly stated and the necessary adjustments to the about page would I hope be edited, so that there is clarity and authenticity in this important area.

Any connection to actions and groups within the United Nations I think would qualify as the "influence of vested interests."

The "use of science and art for public good," and the actions by government organizations such as the UN to determine "public good" are subjects everyone may differ on. However, the political nature of the actions the UN hopes to take to promote "sustainability" and to avert so-called anthropogenic global warming most certainly do represent vested interests, no matter which side of the equasion you find yourself on in those questions.

I hope that any connections with the UN, or any of its agencies, would be fully disclosed. But the reason for this request and plea is that it would provoke very clear thought and statements and possibly through the process allow an oportunity to re-think the advisablility of becoming involved with such a vested interest as the UN and its AGW/sustainablility efforts.
