As we’ve reported recently, new papers in peer-reviewed astrophysical journals propose that powerful electric currents flow in extra-galactic jets and that the jets themselves are “fundamentally electromagnetic structures.” However, if you follow science media, it’s likely that you’ve not noticed any attempt to contextualize the development as significant for astrophysics….
Apr 2, 2018 Even the coldest dust radiates light. The European Space Agency launched the Herschel Space Observatory on May 14, 2009 with the largest spaceborne mirror ever constructed. Herschel was sent into orbit around LaGrange point L2 in order to protect its helium-cooled infrared detectors. Its coolant system lasted…
Sputtering Canyons, Part 3 By Andrew Hall In Part 1 of the Sputtering Canyons series, we discussed Arches National Monument and evidence that it was formed by a complex sputtering discharge process. That process involved a thermal-spiking, barrier discharge in a layer of wet sandstone. In Part 2, we looked at how charge…
Turning Sound Into Light by Jimmy Mikecz What if sound didn’t only flow through matter but could produce unexpected phenomena like light? Research in sound has revealed the capacity of sound to influence matter in a way that produces light. The phenomenon of sonoluminescence (SL) is one example of this…
Mar 30, 2018 Ask anyone who has even a modest knowledge of mythology to name the Egyptian sun god and they will probably point to Ra. And why not? Is that not what we have been taught by historians and archeologists? Dwardu Cardona (1937‑2016) authored many books about comparative…
In Part 1 of this presentation, Thunderbolts contributor archaeologist Peter Mungo Jupp began his comprehensive analysis of the nature of comets, including the electric universe perspective that comets are not four-and-half billion-year-old icy leftovers of the early solar system. Included in his analysis, Jupp presented outtakes of his interview with…
March 29, 2018 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…
Mar 28, 2018 Earth and the Sun share an electric circuit. “Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.” — Charles Dudley Warner The Magnetospheric Multiscale satellites were launched March 12, 2015 on a mission to study Earth’s electromagnetic fields. The MMS constellation, as well as the…
In this episode, we take up a theme we’ve never previously cited—the mythic ram god; never cited because we’d failed to notice the critical connection of the mythic ram’s horns to the coiled arms of the prehistoric goddess. Ironically, it was only in the past year that the pieces came…
Mar 26, 2018 What is light? When you’re in a boat, you see waves of water lap against the hull. If you could tie a flag to a molecule of water, you could see that molecule move up and down. When you’re at a concert, you hear waves of sound…
