Nov 28, 2018 Most celestial objects exhibit some kind of filamentation. “Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.” — Theodore Roosevelt Every science journal describes the formation of nebulae in terms of “blowing winds” created by shock waves from exploding stars. Nebulae are thought to…
Nov 27, 2018 Lightning phenomena are scaleable. Transverse electric currents accompany a main discharge channel. That channel is often seen by most people as a terrestrial lightning bolt. Slow-motion videos show that multiple leader strokes descend from the clouds, while less visible potential contacts rise from the ground. Once…
Nov 26, 2018 A new Mercury mission. The European Space Agency (ESA) launched the BepiColombo satellites to Mercury from French Guyana on October 20, 2018. The mission is named for Giuseppe Colombo (1920-1984), an astronomer who was the first to realize that Mercury rotates three times for every two orbits…
The SAFIRE PROJECT at the Electric Universe – United Kingdom International Conference & Symposium 7th – 11th July 2018, Somerset, UK Montgomery Childs explores the idea of ‘two worlds’, the theoretical and the empirical, and how the SAFIRE PROJECT maintains a sharp eye on the line between. He also offers…
Nov 23, 2018 Energetic tails are common features in the Universe. Celestial objects such as Centaurus A; hot-bright stars, planets, and comets, exhibit collimated jets or trailing emissions that are difficult to explain. Every new observation requires a new theoretical revision, or an admission of complete bafflement. A group of…
In Part 1 of this presentation, our guest Mark Gober began an exploration of the unresolved scientific puzzle: how and why does consciousness exist? In Mark’s book “An End to Upside Down Thinking,” he summarizes some of the voluminous scientific evidence which suggests that consciousness is not generated by nor…
Nov 21, 2018 Osiris-Rex approaches Asteroid Bennu. On September 8, 2016 NASA launched Osiris-Rex on a mission to study the asteroid, 101955 Bennu. The mission objectives include collecting a sample from Bennu and returning it to Earth. Bennu is one of more than 7000 Near Earth Objects (NEO), and, like…
Nov 20, 2018 Venus is an electrically active world. The European Space Agency’s (ESA) Venus Express was launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on November 9, 2005. The spacecraft entered orbit around Venus on April 11, 2006. One its “surprising” discoveries was electric discharges in the planet’s upper atmosphere….
Nov 19, 2018 Electric filaments energize galaxies. “A colour is a physical object as soon as we consider its dependence, for instance, upon its luminous source, upon other colours, upon temperatures, upon spaces, and so forth.” — Ernst Mach A recent press release talks about cosmic filaments connecting vast…
For human beings on planet Earth, the ultimate mystery of life may be: how and why does consciousness exist? The unanswered question is characterized as “the hard problem,” which is essentially the mystery of why any physical state is experienced consciously. Of course, the neurosciences have provided extraordinary understandings of…
