May 14, 2018 Stars are not formed in gravity wells. A theory about how star systems form must include the most prevalent condition in the Universe: plasma. Stars are born when electric charge flow is confined into filaments that wind around each other, forming z-pinch zones that compress matter…
May 14, 2018 There are problems with conventional theories about the Sun. Electric Universe theory does not adopt the prevailing idea that electromagnetic fields are composed of lines that can become trapped or tangled. When astronomers create theories that reify schematic representations, they reveal a failure to understand what electromagnetism…
The electric universe is a noisy universe. Discharge events are happening all the time, over a wide range of intensities and time scales, and every such event sends a voltage spike up and down its current filament. The current that comes into the Earth at the poles is a spiky…
May 10, 2018 Cometary asteroids. “The EU model predicts that all active comets will exhibit frequent, short outbursts in different spots on their surfaces. The outbursts happen because they are electrical discharge phenomena, known technically as (cold) cathode jets.” — Wal Thornhill It is surprising that astrophysicists remain ignorant…
May 9, 2018 Electric fields are common in the Solar System The Juno spacecraft is orbiting Jupiter after arriving in July of 2016. Juno is part of the New Frontiers Program and will remain in orbit for 2 years, before it will be burned-up in Jupiter’s clouds. Juno is studying Jupiter’s atmosphere,…
May 8, 2018 Christiaan Eijkman discovered that a bacterium in polished rice caused beriberi and an anti-toxin in the coating cured it. Eijkman verified his theory with a massive study of 280,000 people. He ruled out the possibility of other causal factors–sanitation, hygiene, and so on. And he cured…
The notion that light is something that travels from one point to another is an assumption few people today ever question. Yet in this thought-provoking Space News, Thunderbolts contributor Mel Acheson explores the query, What else could light be? – a query that lies at the heart of reliability and…
May 7, 2018 What are those powerful engines? Black holes are the topic of many Picture of the Day articles, because they are so often used to “explain” anomalous or extreme phenomena in space. They exist only through some mathematical legerdemain, and have nothing to do with the substantive Universe for…
May 4, 2018 How do stars and galaxies fit together? Lambda Cold Dark Matter theory’s name (ΛCDM) comes from the fact that dark matter cannot be detected with any known instruments. The “lambda” indicates dark energy, since both dark matter and dark energy are thought necessary for each other to…
In the case of the Atlantis myth, what can be substantiated is the archetype, and that archetype reaches far beyond any local legend. The archetype reflected in the Atlantis myth is the story of a far-famed city, island, kingdom, or continent in primeval times—either forgotten or subsequently destroyed by water…
