Sep 03, 2012 Astronomers have recently taken more precise measurements of the Sun’s shape over several years. They found that it was rounder and less variable than they expected from theory. If gravity and centrifugal force from its rotation were the primary influences on its shape, then the Sun…
Yet another “mystery” surrounding the Sun: scientists working with the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) have observed that the Sun is far too perfectly round. Centrifugal forces in a rotating ball of gas should make the Sun wider at its equator than along its axis – that’s the requirement of the…

CONFERENCE SPEAKERS Leading the Way Two preeminent spokesmen for the Electric Universe, Wallace Thornhill and David Talbott, will be present at EU 2013, each adding powerful new material for the coming year. Wallace Thornhill What does it mean to say that an intellectual movement is reaching the “tipping point?” Wallace…
THEMES The Tipping Point? Easily reduced to a cliche in popular discussion, the “tipping point” is also the perfect expression for what is now occurring as scientists, artists, cultural visionaries, and students of human history converge on a new conceptual ground. A stunning possibility emerges: that we are on the…
The phrase has never been more fitting: The Tipping Point. In matters of human thought and perception, the words describe the critical moment when the growing momentum of a new idea overrides the inertia of prior beliefs. A movement exhibiting this power cannot be turned back. For the Electric Universe…
August 31, 2012 Leaving no stone unturned, some thunderstones may have acquired their association with lightning in still other ways. As mentioned in part three of this article, a future realisation that the Australites may actually have precipitated within the past 10,000 years would certainly hit hard. Yet even this…
August 30, 2012 A new mission to map the gravity field of the Moon. On September 10, 2011 NASA launched the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) satellites on a mission to the Moon. GRAIL-A and GRAIL-B are nearly identical spacecraft, except that B is designed to follow A around…
August 29, 2012 ‘Thunderstones’ in the form of tektites – Did human beings watch them falling? As an additional possibility of no small importance, the concept of the thunderstone may have been sparked by a conflation of lightning with meteors which, on occasion, do deposit rocks onto the surface of…
