The astronomers studying the atmosphere of Venus are facing a new mystery. The Venusian winds have been steadily accelerating for the last 6 years. Scientists monitoring the Venus Express orbiter since 2006 noted the stunning increase in the already super fast winds, from 186 mph to 249 mph. The astronomers…
We believe that this critical review of textbook comet theory can have a major impact on human understanding of these remarkable bodies. It can also reach well beyond the specialized science of comets to provoke a reconsideration of the Sun, planetary history, and a good deal more. We live in…
For many years a scientific controversy has been brewing far from the spotlight of mainstream media. How constant are physical constants? For decades the scientific consensus has been that “true constants”, such as the speed of light and the gravitational force, remain unchanged over time. But in recent years more…
Astronomers using the Pan-STARRS1 telescope recently observed a supernova that they say is “way too bright” for conventional theory to explain.
Thunderbolts colleague Michael Armstrong, the manager of Mikamar Publishing, discusses the potential threat a powerful solar storm might pose to modern civilization. A frightening historical precedent for such a potential disaster can be found in the Carrington event of 1859.
Wal Thornhill discusses the mystery of abundant millimeter-sized, roughly spherical “chondrules” in chondritic meteorites. What was the source of the enigmatic heating and rapid cooling of these embedded materials?
Dr. Rupert Sheldrake discusses TED’s controversial decision to remove his talk from their YouTube channel. Rupert’s response to TED and its anonymous scientific board may be read on the official TED blog: http://blog.ted.com/2013/03/14/open-f… On his website, in the “Controversies” section, Rupert has documented many instances when he’s been forced to publicly…

The so-called “volcanoes” on Jupiter’s moon Io have long been conventionally interpreted as the effect of tidal forces acting on the moon. But a recent scientific paper has announced that this longstanding explanation does not fit with the actual location of the plumes. Is it possible that this failure of…
