Jan 25, 2016 X-rays are not created by pressure. According to a recent press release, a black hole in the center of galaxy IRAS17020+4544, about 800 million light-years from Earth (as astronomers measure distance via redshift) is almost six million Suns in mass. The most important aspect to the…
A new scientific study has proposed a new hypothesis for a long-standing mystery in atmospheric science. For many years, scientists have wondered why the concentration of electrons in Earth’s atmosphere suddenly drops in a region dozens of miles above the Earth, which some call the “D-Region Ledge.” According to a…
Jan 22, 2016 Astronomical viewpoints suggest alternatives. NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) launched The Herschel Space Observatory on May 14, 2009. Herschel’s helium coolant system was built to last only three years, however, so on April 29, 2013 its mission came to an end. According to a…
The HIRISE Camera aboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance orbiter has captured an intriguing image of polygonal patterns within a crater at the Martian north pole. A Space.com report states of these features: “The entire crater is around 3 miles (5 km) across and its ancient interior has undergone countless millennia of…
Jan 21, 2016 Gamma ray bursts might not be so far away. Astrophysicists describe gamma-ray bursts (GRB) as due to the “merging of neutron stars” or gamma-ray light radiating from supernova explosions. Recently, the SWIFT satellite’s Burst Alert Telescope detected a beam of gamma radiation so intense that it…
Jan 20, 2016 Criticized, ostracized, derided, scorned and rebuked; Cuvier and Schaeffer. These two French eccentric geniuses ranged their new practical paradigms against the sanitized teachings of the Royal Society’s consensus science. Georges Cuvier and then later Claude Schaeffer, dared question the hidebound uniformitarian teachings demanded by the Royal Society’s…
The Electric Universe proponents, representing a variety of disciplines, are aware of how vastly different fields from the present day to the earliest of time can intertwine. In her talk, Annis will demonstrate how members of the EU, who specialize in the areas of planetary history, mythology, electricity, plasma, geology,…
Jan 19, 2016 “I’ll believe it when I see it” could be the motto of the empiricist. His not unreasonable belief is that reasonable belief in an idea should be governed by tests that give results which can be sensed. His concern is that beliefs not anchored to what…
Jan 18, 2016 Speculations on electrical aspects of the sun were common long before Birkeland. In a paper published in 1904, the Swedish physicist and chemist Svante August Arrhenius (1859-1927) maintained that radiation pressure accounts for comets’ tails and the build-up of negative charges on “the atmospheres of…
Using more than 35 years of data from the Wilcox Solar Observatory at Stanford University and from the United States Geological Survey, a model was constructed using patterns discerned in the polar magnetic fields of the sun. These patterns in solar magnetism were informally observed to match with the occurrence…
