May 13, 2019 Electric Universe advocate, Wal Thornhill, states that stars reside within plasma sheaths perhaps as great as a light-day in extent. “The Sun’s plasma sheath, or ‘heliosphere’ is about 100 times more distant than the Earth is from the Sun. To give an idea of the immensity of…
Our planet’s atmosphere is home to extraordinary electrical activity. As we’ve noted, retired professor of electrical engineering Dr. Donald Scott developed a mathematical model of the structure of a Birkeland current, which can be identified visually as counterrotating cylinders. We have suggested that the counterrotation clearly seen at the poles…
May 10, 2019 The collapse of cold gas under gravitational influence is thought to be the force that shapes stars. “I’d rather learn from one bird how to sing than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance.”— e. e. cummings Astronomers think that stars are collapsed whirlpools of gas…
May 9, 2019 Consensus astronomers rely on ideas about gravity and acceleration for stars and galaxies to produce radiation. Particles of dust, along with hydrogen gas are said to “jet” out of galactic nuclei, because a central black hole accelerates them to high velocities. When material in a galactic jet…
May 8, 2019 The Universe is not expanding. “After a ridiculously long time it has finally dawned on me that establishment scientists actually proceed on the belief that theories tell you what is true and not true!”— Halton Arp Astronomers think that galactic recession is occurring, because galaxies received “inflationary…
Today, physicist Eugene Bagashov explores a longstanding, highly controversial hypothesis in astronomy — the alleged existence of the so-called planet nine in our solar system. Some astronomers have proposed that the gravitational influence of such a planet outside the orbit of Neptune could explain some anomalies, including the odd clustering…
May 7, 2019 Gravity does not bend light. Electric Universe theory paints a dubious picture about dark matter. It is an add-on, or ad hoc, theory because Big Bang cosmology is incomplete, always requiring a new prop. The Big Bang is supposed to be what brought all matter and energy,…
May 6, 2019 Venus is a mysterious planet. We are disappointed if the cold-blooded scientist assures us that Man cannot exist on Mars. … We do resent a restraint on our imagination. We should like to believe in marvelous men on Venus.— Harlow Shapley Over the past 6 decades, 22…
The Electric Winds of JupiterBy Andrew Hall Jupiter is our largest neighbor and generates the largest electromagnetic field in the Solar System except for the Sun. It has a thick, turbulent atmosphere with swirling storms producing winds of supersonic speed, and lightning arcs that dwarf the puny sparks we have…
The Electric Universe emphasizes that mass is not to be confused with matter, and it suggests a way of understanding the observed effects of mass. This leaves the question: what then is matter? To recognize matter is to attribute presence to an object. Understanding this process can loosen our grip…
