March 01, 2013 That many a thunderstone earned the sobriquet by virtue of its exposure during a thunderstorm strikes one as correct to a degree. Intellectual lassitude perfuses the attempts of those who blamed the conception of the thunderstone on sheer stupidity or, one notch up, a rebarbative belief…
Feb 28, 2013 The thunderstone is familiar from the folklore of virtually every culture, but plays no ‘roll’ in the serious sciences. In the eyes of most, the proposition that thunderbolts deposit rocks is an asinine artefact of superstitious belief – an antiquated theme that epitomises an infant stage…

Thunderbolts Picture of the Day Managing Editor Stephen Smith continues his review of electrical scars on rocky bodies of the solar system, here concentrating on the planet Mars, perhaps the best laboratory in space for exploring the violent electrical history of our planetary neighbors and of earth itself.

Feb 26, 2013 Heliophysicists acknowledge the role of plasma in solar eruptions but miss important aspects of its behavior. In Bengal to move at all Is seldom, if ever, done, But mad dogs and Englishmen Go out in the midday sun. — Noël Coward According to a recent press release,…
Here is an introduction to challenges posed by the 20th century’s leading expert on peculiar galaxies. Halton Arp’s life’s work led him to discern a fundamental error in today’s cosmological assumptions: the common use of redshift to calculate galactic distances does not fit with systematic observations.
The recent explosion of a large meteor over Russia caused hundreds of injuries and considerable damage to local buildings—the most destructive such event in more than 100 years. The explosion has also raised new questions pointing directly to the behavior of large meteors in the Electric Universe.
In this lecture Dr. Jerry Pollack, a professor in the bio-engineering department of the University of Washington, discusses new insights into structured water garnered in his lab during the past year. Dr. Pollack has spent the last 10 years researching the role of water in biological tissue, and his discoveries…

Feb 25, 2013 Other credible reports of electrophonic bolides introduce severe accompaniments not normally associated with meteors in current awareness. People at the headwaters of the Murray River, presumably of Wiradjuri stock again, remembered an occasion well before 1925 when a conspicuous fireball provoked an earthquake and a rupture…
