Feb 22, 2017 Do galaxies bump into each other? High temperatures in galaxy clusters are an enigma. Because astronomers have only one force in their bags of tricks—gravity—whenever energetic events are found, like high temperatures in the galaxy cluster shown above, it “must be” caused by a gravity-driven collision in…
Where does gravity fit in the electric universe? Contrary to a fairly common misperception, the electric universe does not deny gravity’s existence, nor its role in the cosmos and our own world. Rather, the electric universe theory, as proposed by physicist Wal Thornhill, suggests that the fundamental mysteries of gravity…
Feb 21, 2017 Space and time do not bend. “Gravitational lensing” theory is used to explain the arcs of glowing material surrounding some galaxies. They also use it in conjunction with other theories to help deal with puzzling observations. One of those puzzles involves the so-called expanding Universe. Combining data…
Feb 20, 2017 A curled torus is thought to exist in the center of the Milky Way. “Ring out the false, ring in the true.” — Alfred Lord Tennyson A previous Picture of the Day discussed the twisted ring of material surrounding the nucleus of Galaxy Centaurus A. NGC…
Ev Cochrane offered a systematic analysis of the earliest pictographs of ancient Egypt and Mesoamerica in order to document a universal tradition of a “green” or turquoise-colored sun in former times. The evidence showed that the Turquoise Sun stood at the very heart of ancient accounts of Creation. If such…
Feb 17, 2017 Is the Universe expanding? Modern astronomers believe that galaxies are receding from each other because they received “inflationary energy” imparted by the Big Bang. They estimate the recession to be about 71 kilometers per second for every 3.3 million light-years of spatial distance. This “dilation of…
The Maars of Pinacate, Part Two By Andrew Hall If lightning can occur in the sky, why not in the ground? A capacitor stores electrical charge up to a point, and then lets go, like a dam breaking. It’s called dielectric breakdown, and sparks are the result; sparks are the…
Feb 16, 2017 The Sun’s activity drives Earth-based phenomena. Picture of the Day articles point out that there are linkages between galactic electric currents, solar electric currents, and terrestrial electric currents. Earth is connected to a circuit that flows through the cosmos, but that circuit is difficult to perceive. Charged…
Feb 15, 2017 Ionized hydrogen is a primordial source for many structures in the Universe. The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is around 200,000 light-years from Earth, as astronomers gauge distance. Its diffuse nature means that it is no more than a smudge of light in the southern sky. Its companion,…
In previous Space News episodes, Thunderbolts contributor Andrew Hall presented his groundbreaking thesis on new aspects of Electric Universe geology. In his arc blast theory, Hall has attempted to explain the formation of mountains and other features on earth through the principles of plasma physics and electrical engineering. In this…
