The message has been loud and clear for many years—a community of scientists insisting that human activity is warming our planet, taking humanity to the edge of a precipice. But now, as science begins to understand earth’s place in the electric solar system, the meaning of the present warming plateau…
Apr 7, 2014 A black hole in the center of NGC 2110 is said to be spawning new star clusters Previous Picture of the Day articles repeatedly take issue with the idea that black holes are part of the Universe. It is a common expression in astronomical reports that black…
Dr. Michael Clarage shares new observations of some of the complexities of the Earth’s electrical environment. The Sun and Earth are connected in ways very similar to how man-made electrical equipment is connected. These similarities are examined in light of the idea of the entire solar system behaving as a…
A team of astronomers is puzzling over an unprecedented discovery–the first ever observed asteroid with its own ring system. The asteroid Chariklo, which is 250 km in diameter and orbits between Saturn and Uranus, displays two rings which are said to be similar in nature to those of Saturn. Wal…
An immensely successful EU2014 Conference: All About Evidence will be the subject of extensive review in coming weeks, including the posting of conference talks on The Thunderbolts Project YouTube Channel. Click on the YouTube video above for a retrospective slideshow of the conference by digital media student scholar, Jack Passmore. Look…
THIS ONE WILL BE OF GREATEST INTEREST TO THEORETICAL PHYSICISTS. Please help out by directing the attention of physicists to this video. Kirchhoff’s law of thermal emission (formulated in 1860) is presented and demonstrated to be invalid. This law is crucial to our understanding of radiation within arbitrary cavities. Kirchhoff’s…
Apr 04, 2014 Bees can sense the electric fields generated by flowers Previous Picture of the Day articles discuss aspects of biology that rely on electricity. Whether it is the transportation of nutrients and electrolytic compound in and out of cells, or the motive action of bacterial flagella, electric charge…
Apr 03, 2014 Rather than searching for exotic explanations, this celestial object can best be described using plasma physics. According to astronomers from the Chandra X-ray Observatory, the so-called “supernova remnant” Cassiopeia A (or “Cas A”) harbors a strange passenger within the neutron star that is supposed to inhabit its interior,…
Apr 2, 2014 The Rosetta Cometary Probe will soon arrive at its destination. On March 2, 2004, the European Space Agency (ESA) launched the Rosetta Cometary Probe on a rendezvous mission with 67 P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, a short period comet that will enter perihelion in August of 2015. One year after launch,…
Apr 01, 2014 How old are the stars? Why are stars found where we find them? What causes them to form and how do they age? These questions are commonly asked by astronomers and philosophers alike. If the stars are born and die according to certain parameters, then a…
