The plasmoid at the center of a galaxy 300 million light-years away has astronomers stumped. Its behavior is perplexing to space scientists for exactly one reason—they simply do not recognize that it exists. For many decades the space sciences have accepted that at the center of most galaxies is a…
On an October Sunday evening in 1871, flames erupted across three states—Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan—all at once. Chicago burns. Peshtigo, Wisconsin vanishes. Forests in Michigan turn to ash. Eyewitnesses saw flames—and weirdness. Fire falling from the sky. A tornado of flame ripping buildings apart. Balls of fire dropping like bombs. Red…
We begin with a necessary acknowledgement—conventional theories of planet formation by gravitational processes have been falsified both observationally and experimentally. When experts attempt to re-create the planetary accretion disk theory with computer models it breaks down. Rather than growing, the incipient objects tend to splinter after reaching pebble size. How…
Sixth episode in the Turquoise Sun series. Ancient artworks complement the testimony from cosmogonic myth and linguistics. Early pictographs and cylinder seals depict a celestial body universally accepted as being the sun with lightning-like structures emanating across its face. The swastika constitutes one of our most enduring symbols appearing in…
The most spectacular electrical phenomena witnessed on planet Earth is lightning. A source of both fascination and fear for human beings for millennia, one might assume that in the 21st century, scientists’ understanding of lightning should be so comprehensive, little room remains for mystery. However, as with many phenomena in…
Richard Moore illustrates why the Electric Universe is a noisy universe in this re-release of his EU2015 Conference presentation from June 26, 2015. Electrical discharge events are happening all the time, over a wide range of intensities and time scales, and every such event sends a voltage spike up and…
A reading of the article “The Simple Electric Universe” by Wal Thornhill. Narrated by David Harrison, proprietor of Stickman On Stone. “More and more the professions will cross over into the entertainment field. Those of us who are not employed directly in industry will come to realize that what we…
a Scientists with NASA’s Juno mission have discovered a volcanic hot spot in the southern hemisphere of Jupiter’s moon Io…larger than Earth’s Lake Superior, it belches out eruptions six times the total energy of all the world’s power plants…the new hot spot’s radiance measured well above 80 trillion watts. —JPL/NASA…
“Most of the great discoveries in science were made intuitively through pattern recognition—through seeing Gestalt. They weren’t necessarily made by following a linear sequence. The right brain sees no conflict between science, intuition, imagination, and reason.” — Iain McGilchrist In his 2009 book “The Master and His Emissary: The Divided…
Have you ever wondered what space smells like? Many of us expect space to be a vast, odorless void, but it turns out that may not be the case. If you guessed cosmic barbecue, you’re not far off. vFor example, here’s what someone with 13 spacewalks and 370 days in…
