Mar 14, 2013 Astronomers have finally observed “dark galaxies,” proving again that if you look hard enough for what you believe, you’ll find it (or something that’s close enough). Dark galaxies, like the many other dark things in modern astronomy’s black box of unobservables, are predicted by the theory…
Mar 13, 2013 Dark mode plasma phenomena exist on the Sun. The image at the top of the page is the most detailed ever taken of the Sun’s chromosphere. The smallest features are 130 kilometers in size. Each spicule is about 480 kilometers in diameter, with a length of…
Mar 12, 2013 Could an ocean of liquid water exist on Europa? According to a recent press release, “Sending a submarine to the bottom of the ocean on Jupiter’s icy moon Europa is the most exciting potential mission in planetary science…” Is it a forlorn hope? Europa is the fourth…
March 11, 2013 Supermassive black holes are said to generate galactic winds. “Black holes are where God divided by zero.” — Stephen Wright In a previous Picture of the Day, It was suggested that X-ray jets from a galactic core were being accelerated by electric fields. A press release…
Mar 08, 2013 An electromagnetic phenomenon on the fringes of galaxy NGC 7793 is confounding astronomers because they insist on seeing it as a gravitational superforce. Explaining the jets of ionized particles often seen erupting from various objects in space ranks as one of the most difficult tasks facing…
Mar 07, 2013 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…
Mar 06, 2013 Cold dark matter theory might be in need of serious revision. Dark matter theory makes the news every once in awhile. Although cold dark matter (CDM) gets its name from the idea that it cannot be detected with any known instruments, cosmologists persist in using it…
Mar 05, 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 hardly…
Yes, it’s an exotic subject, but Stephen Crothers has delivered a resounding critique of the most popular dogma in the theoretical sciences, all given at a level of common sense, free from mathematical elaborations. Download a PDF of Crothers’ powerpoint presentation here. Link to Part Two on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHZ5O0jTH8A
Mar 04, 2013 ‘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…
