Feb 07, 2013 A new theory states that dark matter might prevent stars from aging normally and preserve them for billions of years. According to astronomers, the Universe is almost 14 billion years old. It started out with a bang – an explosion occurred and all of existence came…
Feb 06, 2013 Some four thousand years ago, the civilizations of the world were obliterated by a catastrophic series of events. Earthquakes are natures deadliest killers! A storm of earthquakes totally buried and destroyed cities throughout the Middle East less than 5000 years ago. Men, women and children were decimated,…
Feb 05, 2013 According to astronomers and their theories about the Solar System, the space beyond Neptune is getting stranger all the time. Near the end of the eighteenth century the nebular hypothesis was born. It grew in popularity for more than 100 years and then appeared to die…
Wal Thornhill and David Talbott, founding members of The Thunderbolts Project, sat down for an interview at the recent conference, ELECTRIC UNIVERSE: THE TIPPING POINT. They review their converging interests, giving personal observations on the state of science today and the growing Electric Universe movement.
Feb 04, 2013 The Cassini space probe’s flyby of Iapetus confirms its electrical attributes. The closest images of Iapetus ever taken came from the Cassini spacecraft as it flew to within 5000 kilometers of its target, resolving features as small as ten meters. In a previous Picture of the…
Edward Lewis www.sciencejunk.org onyshua@gmail.com Abstract Tornadoes and ball lightning are kinds of plasmoid phenomena. Certain anomalous characteristics of tornadoes and ball lightning are described here. Their behavior is shown to be similar to the behavior of plasmoid phenomena produced by electrolysis and discharge apparatus as evidenced by certain micrometer-sized markings in…
Feb 01, 2013 Galactic tails, bright comas, and central nuclei are reminiscent of comets. What is a comet? Most astronomers think comets are small, fragile, irregularly shaped objects composed mostly of water ice and dust, along with carbon and silicon-based compounds. “Dirty snowballs,” as Fred Whipple described them in 1950….
Jan 31, 2013 Strands of magnetically confined plasma can be seen throughout the cosmos. A rotating vortex of solar plasma was the topic of a recent press release. Does that phenomenon relate to other energetic vortices? Previous Picture of the Day articles describe many cases of ionized clouds in space that are…
Engineer Monty Childs, director of the SAFIRE project reviews the design of a laboratory experiment to test the Electric Sun hypothesis. How many anomalous features of the Sun can be replicated by a glow discharge in the laboratory? Now that the SAFIRE experiment has been assured of funding, it appears…
