In a well-received presentation, Andrew Hall showed the audience a new geological idea about mountain formation based on the Electric Universe model. His new concept includes the following: 1) Triangular buttresses form on the sides of mountains in the shape of reflected supersonic shock waves. 2) They are layered onto…
Jan 13, 2017 Electric charge flow in space defines many phenomena. Plasma is not a substance, it is a condition. Matter is categorized by four states: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma, therefore, those conditions cannot be analyzed in simple terms. Solids exhibit multiple aspects, including dimension, temperature, composition, etc….
Jan 12, 2017 Bands of plasma circle the Earth. Earth’s ionosphere is connected to the Sun by filaments of electric charge, so upper regions of the atmosphere are influenced by solar emissions. This idea is a basic tenet of Electric Universe theory. Since Earth has an electrically active plasmasphere, it…
2016 was another exciting year in space discovery. Like every other year in recent memory, major surprises dominated science headlines, from the detection of X-rays from Pluto to the possible falsification of the hypothesis of dark matter. However, science media also declared some victories for the standard cosmology, most notably…
Jan 11, 2017 What causes energetic emissions from galactic cores? According to a recent press release, there is a so-called, supermassive black hole (SMBH) at the center of the Milky Way that is tearing stars apart and flinging the remains into space at speeds of 10,000 kilometers per second….
Jan 10, 2017 Another asymmetrical moon of Pluto. NASA launched the New Horizons mission on January 19, 2006. Nine years later, the spacecraft flew by the dwarf planet Pluto on July 14, 2015. Infrared and spectral analyses should provide data sufficient to keep planetary scientists occupied for years. An estimated…
Jan 9, 2017 Changing your beliefs feels like dying. Whether it’s religion, politics, or science, letting go of the complex of ideas that provides an orderly explanation for your life and your experiences seems like falling into chaos and oblivion. It seems suicidal even to loosen your grip on…
From an obscure and outlandish idea has come the driving force behind much of the discovery in modern science. Electricity, electromagnetism, electrostatic forces – these are the under appreciated elements of our universe, underpinning the interactions and phenomena we are yet to fully understand. Puzzling observations that confound modern understanding…
Jan 6, 2017 Is it erosion that carved these shapes? Some scientists think that the Egyptians copied their pyramids from natural formations. The Black Desert, among other locations, provides evidence for that contention. In the image at the top of the page is a large pyramid-shaped monolith in Wadi…
Jan 5, 2017 Magnetic fields in stars are not rare, study finds. According to a recent press release, astronomers from the University of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia “…discovered strong magnetic fields are common in stars, not rare as previously thought.” Pictures of the Day often note that astronomers…
