Luminous Essence

February 18, 2020 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 galactic structures….

February 17, 2020 Formed from a pebble cloud? NASA launched the New Horizons spacecraft on January 19, 2006. As Picture of the Day readers recall, New Horizons provided confirmation of Electric Universe principles when it flew by the Pluto/Charon system on July 14, 2015. On January 1, 2019 New Horizons flew by…

Cosmic Molecules

February 14, 2020 Where do organic compounds in space come from? Cosmic rays are charged particles that are detected in the Sun’s local neighborhood. About 90% of all cosmic rays are single protons, or hydrogen nuclei, followed by 5% helium, with the remainder being all other elements in the periodic…

Concentrated Power

February 13, 2020 Lightning is not well understood. Prevailing ideas see circulating water vapor moving up and down through clouds in a process of convection. The condensation theory presupposes that water is heated by the Sun until it evaporates, rising into the air where it collects into clouds, finally cooling…

Large and Small

February 11, 2020 Plasma’s behavior is independent of scale. Intense lightning in thunderstorms can interact with charged particles (cosmic rays) coming from space. Given the right conditions, lightning causes giant particle accelerators to form above the clouds. Cosmic rays are sub-atomic particles, mostly protons, that can knock electrons off molecules…

“MOND the Gap!”

February 10, 2020 Dark matter does not exist in an Electric Universe. In 1998 an inexplicable “tug” was detected acting on the now defunct Ulysses spacecraft as it traveled through the Solar System. When radio signals from Earth re-transmitted from an onboard transponder, an  anomalous acceleration toward the Sun was…
