Dr. Donald Scott, author of The Electric Sky, made two major presentations at the EU Workshop, Nov 14-16, 2014, in Phoenix, Arizona. The first detailed how “polar configurations” are formed in space. Lacking familiarity with electrical phenomena in plasma, astronomers typically list these Herbig-Haro objects as “poorly understood.” Don’s second…
Jan 22, 2014 So-called “lava coils” are present on Mars. “Ares…who whirl your fiery sphere among the planets in their sevenfold courses through the aether wherein your blazing steeds ever bear you above the third firmament of heaven…” — Homer, Hymn 8 to Ares (exert) A previous Picture of the…
Jan 21, 2015 “The Book of Nature” is a metaphor. In science, metaphors are usually passed over as mere embellishments of language. The metaphor is expanded into “the Book of Nature is written in the language of mathematics,” and then scientists turn away from embellishments and get down to…
Jan 20, 2015 Gravity wave detection is kaput. Previous Picture of the Day articles take issue with computer models versus observational evidence. In the Electric Universe paradigm, laboratory experiments requiring relatively inexpensive equipment can be conducted and compared to the theory. Since electricity’s effects are scaleable by many orders of…
Jan 19, 2015 Io’s caldera continue to puzzle scientists. Previous Pictures of the Day discuss several confirmed predictions about electrical activity on Io, notably, the intense electric arcing between the moon and its parent body, Jupiter. Images of Io verify that Io ought to be considered from an electric…
This talk by Wal Thornhill at the EU Workshop Nov 14-16, 2014 offers a compendium of the things that scientifically curious people need to know in order to see the electric force in its dynamic role from microcosm to macrocosm. See Wal’s first workshop presentation Breaking News. …
Jan 16, 2015 Another epistemological tour de force. Probable, Possible, my black hen, She lays eggs in the Relative When. She doesn’t lay eggs in the Positive Now Because she’s unable to postulate how. — The Space Child’s Mother Goose By Frederick Winsor People don’t pay much attention…
Jan 15, 2015 Electrically active objects dominate the Solar System Small planetoids, called Near Earth Objects (NEO), are a concern for space scientists because it is thought that large rocks might strike our planet with devastating force. It is a commonly held belief that such an object caused the…
Jan 14, 2015 Consensus black hole theory called into question again. “The largest X-ray flare ever detected from the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy” was recently announced by the Chandra X-ray Telescope observation team. According to the report, the extreme energy calls into…
Jan 13, 2015 Sunspot activity has dramatically increased. The Sun exhibits a solar cycle that lasts approximately 22 years, oscillating in output strength and the number of sunspots visible across its surface. This last 11 year period, when the number of sunspots was expected to increase, there was a “delay”;…
