More Big Problems for Big Bang | Space News

Space News -- Big Bang

A recent Scientific American article aroused a letter of protest from some prominent cosmologists, including renowned physicist Stephen Hawking, who dispute the article’s challenge to the Big Bang theory. In this episode, we explore the many theoretical problems for the Big Bang, and we highlight alternatives available in the Electric…

Grand Finale Part Two

  Jun 6, 2017 Kinetic physics does not explain Saturn’s features. Planetary scientists already knew about material sticking out of the rings in a few places, but until Saturn reached its equinox it was not possible to measure how high these “ridges” are. Saturn’s main rings are approximately 140,000 kilometers…

Auroral Generator

Jun 2, 2017 Jupiter’s aurorae are generated by its own electromagnetic fields. There are many Pictures of the Day in the archives that discuss the planet, Jupiter—especially its electromagnetic interaction with its moons and the rest of the Solar System. Jupiter’s magnetosphere extends outward for nearly 650 million kilometers, reaching beyond Saturn’s orbit….

Dark Stars

May 31, 2017 Black holes are most likely electrical phenomena. Black holes are the subject of many previous Picture of the Day articles. The short story, from an Electric Universe perspective, is that black holes are a misperception. The descriptive terminology used by researchers is problematic, relying on loose interpretations….

Ionic Wind

May 26, 2017 Ionic disturbances through electrically charged regolith shaped the Martian surface. Craters, canyons, dunes and many other features do not readily correspond to contemporary theories about their evolution. Dunes on Mars often do not align with prevailing winds, and do not indicate any movement after years of observation….
