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…
Apr 3, 2018 Planetary magnetospheres are electrical phenomena. The mainstream theory of magnetic reconnection is a common “explanation” for Earth’s aurorae. As the consensus view states, the magnetosphere surrounding Earth stretches and deforms like a teardrop, because it is being bombarded by a powerful stream of charged particles from…
May 2, 2018 Where did the heavy elements on Earth come from? Most, if not all, large craters in North America are said to be the remains of asteroid impacts. In fact, it was an asteroid impact that is thought by consensus geologists to be the event that wiped-out the…
In this series, we have reported on the increasing frequency with which astrophysical literature acknowledge a fact which was long verboten in the space-sciences: the existence of electric currents that flow through the so-called vacuum of space. At the vastest cosmic scales, many astrophysicists recognize the “fundamentally electromagnetic structure” of…
Apr 30, 2018 What causes astronomers to think that space is expanding? “The greatest mistake in my opinion, and the one we continually make, is to let the theory guide the model. After a ridiculously long time it has finally dawned on me that establishment scientists actually proceed on the…
Apr 27, 2018 A NASA spacecraft slammed into the surface of Mercury on April 30, 2015. NASA launched the Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry and Ranging (MESSENGER) experiment from Cape Canaveral on August 3, 2004. After traveling nearly eight billion kilometers, the 485 kilogram spacecraft entered orbit around Mercury on…
In the conclusion of this three-part presentation, Andrew Hall continues his meticulous analysis of compelling evidence for electrical scarring throughout the American Southwest. In parts one and two, Hall explored the complex electrical discharge process called a sputtering discharge, and how this process might have shaped the breathtaking features on…
Apr 26, 2018 Electric power switches on and off. From gamma-rays down through X-rays and radio waves, conventional theories rely on gravity and acceleration to produce radiation in space. Compressing dusty clouds of hydrogen gas is supposed to create enough transfer of momentum that they reach temperatures in the…
Apr 25, 2018 How much energy in a supernova? A previous Picture of the Day discussed cosmic filaments that connect celestial formations with bridges of luminous material. Those structures could mean that the visible Universe is a braided filament of electric charge that reaches from the Virgo supercluster to the…
Apr 24, 2018 Events on Earth reflect events in space. Transverse electric currents accompany a main discharge channel. This phenomenon is most often seen as part of terrestrial lighting bolts. Slow-motion videos reveal the complexity of each flash: multiple leader strokes descend from the clouds, while less visible potential…
