Mar 30, 2016 What makes the Sun a variable star? A recently published animation illustrates the Sun’s electromagnetic field as it twists and folds through its ionized plasma. The “Sun in a bottle” was created in order to understand how an apparently chaotic solar environment forms a stable electromagnetic…
Mar 29, 2016 That mythology has an appetite for bizarre imagery is hardly a secret. A remarkable motif in the world’s creation myths, rarely even recognised, is that of the ‘edible sky’. A few examples will suffice to give a flavour of the theme. A 19th-century Greek myth concerning the…
It seems that almost everyone today holds claim to a secret idea or “new theory.” But when is a theoretical novelty really worth exploring? Many aspiring innovators feel they have been unfairly ignored or cheated in some way, and no doubt one could find many instances justifying this perception. But…
Mar 28, 2016 The tallest mountain on Titan. The Cassini spacecraft was launched October 15, 1997 on a mission to explore Saturn and Titan, the gas giant’s largest moon. With the Huygens lander included, Cassini was the largest interplanetary space probe ever launched. It is 6.7 meters high, four…
The subject of this video series by Dave Talbott is the ancient experience of towering celestial forms that are no longer present. From a single snapshot of the configuration, we can work backwards to the first appearance of these bodies out of an undifferentiated cloud or sea of dusty plasma….
Mar 25, 2016 What force created and sustains Saturn’s rings? Saturn’s main rings, including gaps, are approximately 416,000 kilometers wide, but are estimated to be a mere 50 meters thick, possibly as little as 10 meters. This means that even the most powerful Earth-based telescopes can detect only a…
Mar 24, 2016 It is an electronic Sun. Various components coupled to and driven by electric circuits in space comprise the heart of Electric Universe theory. Charged particles accelerating through powerful electric fields radiate energy in many bandwidths. Glowing, braided filaments are sometimes visible in “jets” that blast out from…
Guest Richard Moore (author, “Escaping the Matrix”) discuss his thesis that climate change on Earth is a natural phenomenon resulting from semi-regular “pulses” of electromagnetic energy from the galactic core. Richard Moore received a B.S. in Mathematics from Stanford University in 1964, with distinction, and then spent thirty years in…
Mar 23, 2016 Back hole physics in the news again. A NASA press release announced that the “most luminous galaxy” ever observed is being consumed by the black hole at its heart. The rapid motion of gas and dust revolving around W2246-0526’s so-called “event horizon” is generating extreme turbulence throughout the…
Mar 22, 2016 Massive electric weather phenomena. Previous Picture of the Day articles describe Earth as an electrically charged object: it maintains an electric field at its surface of between 50 and 200 volts per meter. In other words, for every meter of altitude the voltage increases. Electromagnetic fields…
