DR. PIERRE LATOUR By Dr. Hilton Ratcliffe Highly lauded chemical engineer Dr. Pierre Latour makes a welcome appearance at EU2014. With his background in chemistry and hydrocarbon processing, Pierre is eminently qualified to assess the validity of theoretical and empirical models underpinning the Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) movement and will…
Dec 6, 2013 Stones as large as mountains could be physical evidence for interplanetary lightning bolts on Earth. In the last installment about immense solitary stones that are found all over the world, it was noted that several of them in Australia and Europe could be the result of tremendous…
Dec 05, 2013 Modern instruments enable astronomers to look at the universe in wavelengths of light beyond human biological limitations. Astronomers are surprised that the x-ray and radio images are different from what they expected. Although they’re looking in a different light, they’re still seeing—trying to understand—with the same concepts and theories…
Dec 04, 2013 On every continent are examples of isolated stone mountains that are not easy to explain. Mount Augustus in Australia is an example of a sandstone monolith that could be the largest of those monoliths that also includes Uluru. Mount Augustus, or Burringurrah to the local Wadjari…
Dec 03, 2013 Experimenters slid blocks of dry ice down sand dunes and reproduced some of the features of the long straight grooves on Martian hillsides.* The smart folks at Jet Propulsion Laboratory are to be commended for not only thinking up an explanation for the linear gullies on Mars but also…
It’s one of the great mysteries of solar physics. Why is the temperature of the Sun’s Corona exponentially greater than the temperature of the Sun’s surface? For nearly 75 years, this question has haunted solar physicists, who have attempted to reconcile the anomaly with the thermonuclear model of the Sun.
Dec 02, 2013 In the gravitational model of the universe, “dark matter” attraction pulls galaxies into filaments. Birkeland currents could be a better explanation. A paper in the astronomical journals and popular press identifies an area of space as a “huge hole” completely empty of matter and energy. “Not only has…
Misconception: Why electricity over magnetism? The Magnetic Universe does not require an Electric Universe. Answer: In the real world, electricity and magnetism occur together as a unitary electromagnetic phenomenon. Scientists and engineers often focus their attention on one aspect or the other in order to solve a particular problem. That…
Misconception: The existence of Dark Matter has been settled. Answer: If the Standard Model of cosmology is true, then Dark Matter must be causing discrepancies in motions; therefore, observed discrepancies in motions prove the existence of Dark Matter. The theory bites its tail and turns in a circle. The universe…
Misconception: The Big Bang was proved by the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation. Answer: It seemed that Big Bang Theory had been proven beyond doubt by what had been observed in the universe. Diligent work by independent scientists has shown multiple catastrophic flaws inherent in a Big Bang-aligned interpretation of Cosmic…
