Sep 23, 2015 Earth and the Sun are joined together. The four Magnetospheric Multiscale Satellites (MMS) were launched March 12, 2015 on a mission to study the magnetic field around Earth, especially what scientists like to call “magnetic reconnection” events. According to the theory, when magnetic field lines cross…
Sep 22, 2015 Recent images of the star CH Cygni reveal the electrical circuitry that drives it. Radiation in radio (blue), optical (green), and X-ray (red) highlight the several inner components of the plasma discharge. The outer red circle (large optical image) is composed of radial filaments. This is a…
Sep 21, 2015 Earth should not be used to explain the Solar System. Previous Pictures of the Day discuss dune-like formations in various locales, except they are seen on other celestial bodies, such as Saturn’s planet-sized moon, Titan. Along with the extraterrestrial example, Australia’s Simpson desert contains 1240 parallel,…
A new scientific experiment has reportedly confirmed one of the most startling concepts in quantum theory — so-called “spooky action at a distance,” or the discovery that simply measuring one object appears to affect another far away object. Today, physicist Wal Thornhill begins the first of a two-part discussion on…
Sep 18, 2015 Is it going to be a dark future? “Don’t wake me for the end of the world unless it has very good special effects.” — Roger Zelazny Since the early days of cosmological speculations, especially after the introduction of Big Bang theory, three competing ideas about…
In this new video series, Out & About, you will meet members of the EU community who are making a difference in the world. David Novak was the Master of Ceremony for the Electric Universe 2014 and 2015 conferences plus the EU Workshop. He is a performance storyteller and arts…
Sep 17, 2015 Imagine a rock. Now, imagine breaking it into pieces. Break the pieces into smaller pieces. Continue breaking until your eyes can no longer resolve the pieces. Get a microscope. Now you can distinguish the pieces. Break them until the microscope can no longer resolve the parts. Get…
Sep 16, 2015 Electrical activity creates the nova phenomenon. A nova explosion is thought to take place when a smaller white dwarf star in orbit around a larger companion draws matter onto its surface. Gravity compresses the gas and dust until, at a critical threshold the accreted material reaches…
Electric Biology and Building Solidarity By Alexander Fournier Each field of scientific study, from the science of electrochemistry to the science of human group behavior, is ideally built upon a history of illuminating experiments. This is not always the case to be sure, as some fields become driven by barely-tested…
Sep 15, 2015 The Ring Nebula could be called the “Tube Nebula”. “Bipolar outflow” is a term often used to describe the nebular structure seen above, although the cause of the effect remains baffling to consensus astronomers. The prevailing opinion is that nebular structures form “knots” because gases and…
