Solar Waves

  May 26, 2014 What causes the solar wind to accelerate away from the Sun? NASA launched the Wind spacecraft on November 1, 1994, sending it into orbit around the L1 Lagrange point because it is an ideal position for solar observatories. The five Lagrange points represent two stable and…

Lightning in the Wind

  May 23, 2014 Ionized particles from the Sun contribute to electric discharges on Earth Electric Universe theories propose that plasma discharge behavior is a better model for solar activity than most consensus opinions would like to accept. Experiments using a positively charged sphere show that a plasma torus forms above…

Gamma-Ray Burst Shatters Old Theories

A team of scientists studying the afterglow of a gamma-ray burst tell us that their findings will re-write scientific theories. Using the Very Large Array Telescope, the team examined the afterglow of a gamma ray burst which mainstream astronomers assume is formed by a so-called shockwave. What they observed does…

Holes in Space

  May 23, 2014 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 no…

Circular Afterglow

May 21, 2014 Some gamma ray bursts exhibit unusual characteristics. When charged particles are accelerated in an electric field, they emit synchrotron radiation that creates X-rays and gamma rays—something that has been demonstrated in laboratory experiments. Gamma rays are a class of theoretical “electromagnetic particles” called photons, which are said…

Anything Goes

  May 19, 2014 Science advances through irrational methods. “I was bold in the pursuit of knowledge, never fearing to follow truth and reason to whatever results they led, and bearding every authority which stood in their way.” — Thomas Jefferson It is a common perception that “we stand on the…

Precessional Magnetar

May 16, 2014 A toroidal magnet field is said to be embedded in a magnetar. “Magnetars” are usually classified as “X-ray pulsars (AXP)” or “soft gamma repeaters (SGR)”. As conventional theories argue, they are created when neutron stars reach magnetic field strengths measuring over 10^15 Gauss. Earth’s magnetic field is…
