Dec 21, 2015 New images reveal a celestial body similar to the Solar System’s other rocky denizens. The Kuiper Belt theory was developed by Kenneth Edgeworth, an astronomer from Ireland, and also (separately) by American astronomer Gerard Kuiper in 1951. The first Kuiper Belt Object (KBO) was discovered in…
The Antipodal Moon By Andrew Hall Science has puzzled over the Moon more than any other body in space. It’s the only place mankind has walked and brought back a ton of rocks. Yet, some of its features puzzle scientists as much today as the day they discovered it wasn’t…
In part two of this presentation, physicist Wal Thornhill continues his exploration of the cultural phenomena surrounding the life and career of Albert Einstein. With the passage of time, it seems that both the popular culture and much of institutionalized science have only grown more certain that Einstein was right….
Dec 18, 2015 How can superheated gas create a jet almost 1500 light-years long? According to a recent press release, collimated jets are normally considered to result from matter falling into the putative gravity field of a black hole. As stellar matter orbits closer to the black hole, it…
Dec 17, 2015 A new supernova illustrates the same old problems. In January 2014 astronomers discovered the first type 1A supernova seen in a decade. Type 1A class stellar explosions (or, implosions) are important to how astronomers view the Universe for two reasons: their light-curves, or graphs of their intensity…
With this video presentation, we begin the re-launch of the Thunderbolts Podcast, a feature which will offer in-depth discussions with the chief principals of the Electric Universe community and The Thunderbolts Project. In this discussion, physicist Eugene Bagashov joins us to talk about his contributions to the EU community and…
Dec 16, 2015 Near-infinite density is not logical in three-dimensional space. A special press conference was called on November 15, 2010 in order to announce the discovery of “the youngest black hole ever detected.” The object (SN1979C) was identified by bright X-ray emissions that have not varied in output…
Dec 15, 2015 The thermonuclear Sun theory is falsified. Hypothetically, how does the Sun produce heat and light enough to sustain life on our planet at a mean distance of 149,476,000 kilometers? It is apparently not a hot rock, so what is it? According to spectrographic analysis, the Sun is…
Dec 14, 2015 Curiosity is analyzing “dark dunes” on Mars. Recently, the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) known as “Curiosity” arrived at a vast dune field in Gale Crater. Curiosity was launched on November 26, 2011 on a two-year mission. However, in December 2012 its sojourn on Mars was extended…
In modern times, no figure has better represented the title of genius than theoretical physicist, Albert Einstein, Time Magazine’s Man of the Century. Einstein’s theories of Special and General Relativity continues to shape much of cosmologies theoretical framework. However, contrary to popular claims, not all experiments have confirmed his theories….
