Sep 23, 2014 The Universe is said to have begun with a bang, which then became overblown. This article could almost be completed with one statement: a theory built on questionable assumptions should never be the basis for new theories. In a recent press release, astronomers declared that they found…
Sep 22, 2014 An essential building block of a sound theory is the recognition that Jewish legend was considerably more elaborate than the sterile version of the story come down in the ‘first book of Moses’. More than a hint of an intended coup d’état is gleaned from the…

Similar to stratigraphical clues in archaeological excavations, elements of language, style…
For more than four years, NASA scientists has puzzled over mysterious structures in the Milky Way galaxy called Fermi Bubbles. The so-called bubbles reach for ten of thousands of light years above and below the galaxy. Both the structures enormous size and their emissions are presenting huge theoretical puzzles for…
Sep 17, 2014 The Philae landing site is now confirmed. Look closely at the above image. It appears to be a rocky plain, with pits and ridges, covered in dust and scattered boulders. An ariel view of the American desert Southwest would closely match the terrain. However, this image…
Sep 16, 2014 Protoplanetary disks are said to be accreted around infant stars. A recent press release from the National Radio Astronomy Observatory reports the possibility that collisions between comets and a large planet might be occurring around the star, beta Pictoris. A cloud of carbon monoxide (CO) and dust…
Sep 15, 2014 Particle jets are not caused by black holes. How jets of ionized particles erupt from various objects in space is one of the most difficult problems facing modern astronomers. What force creates energetic particle emissions that can sometimes span distances measured in light-years, or even thousands…
On this series Space News from the Electric Universe, we have presented numerous recent findings that challenge the underpinnings of solar physics and the nature of the sun and all stars. However, based on a new scientific study, some science media are proclaiming a confirmation of the standard solar model,…
Sep 13, 2014 Lakes are supposed to exist on Titan. Could that be a misinterpretation of electrical effects? The then named Cassini-Huygens mission was launched October 15, 1997 on a mission to explore Saturn and titan, its largest moon. With the Huygens lander included, Cassini was the largest interplanetary…
Sep 11, 2014 Many cultures recalled a period of unbearable cold, which they associated with a distant mythical age of ‘creation’, when the sun did not yet shine or fire had not yet been obtained. Such tales are hardly surprising for higher latitudes, such as the Viking sagas of…
