David Drew: Swirling Solar Plasma | Thunderbolts
Our Sun has revealed another surprise. Researchers using the world’s largest solar telescope, the DKIST (Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope in Maui, Hawai’i), have observed extraordinarily tiny plasma vortices on the solar surface exposing a deeper, detailed level of organization. A paper published this August in Nature, “Ubiquitous Kelvin–Helmholtz instabilities…
Stuart Talbott: Saturn’s Mysterious Plasma Geometry | Thunderbolts
A scientific discovery sheds new light on one of the most extraordinary so-called mysteries in the atmosphere of the gas giant Saturn. In 1981, NASA’s Voyager mission recorded the first images of what would become the iconic hexagon at Saturn’s north pole. The tornadic feature spanned roughly 30,000 km, two-times…
David Drew: The Redshift Wars | Thunderbolts
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has not as yet overturned the Standard Model of Cosmology’s interpretation of Redshift. Although, the JWST has extended our observational reach into a region of cosmic history that, until very recently, existed entirely in theory and simulation. Edwin Hubble understood the distinction between observation…

Stuart Talbott: Impossible Objects Stun Scientists | Thunderbolts
How do celestial objects form in the cosmos? At all cosmological scales in standard cosmology—from condensation of dirty snowball comets in a primordial nebular cloud; to gradual accretion of planets forming in a disc around a star; to gravitational collapse and compression of gas and dust in molecular clouds forming…
David Drew: Return of the Aether | Thunderbolts
We have been taught that empty space is empty. Not quite nothing, perhaps. But certainly no substance. No medium. No hidden structure. The old concept of the Aether—once regarded as essential to understanding light, electricity and magnetism—was swept aside by the Michelson-Morley experiment and Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. The verdict…
Michael Clarage: Adventures in Planet Hunting | Thunderbolts
Planets have been discovered when light from a selected star is observed and analyzed methodically. In many cases within these solar systems, we learn about each planet’s mass, orbital period, and atmospheric composition. In studying over a dozen known solar systems, their planets are found at ever increasing distances from…
Matt Finn: Enigma of the Grand Canyon | Thunderbolts
Would you be surprised if the origin story of the Grand Canyon still confounds the experts? Problem with the scientific consensus is that the Colorado River—even before the Glen Canyon dam stemmed its awesome desert floods—was never big enough to explain the size of the Grand Canyon. The Colorado River…
David Drew: Plasma Changes Everything | Thunderbolts
Advocates of Plasma Cosmology and the Electric Universe (EU Model) claim electricity and plasma play a far greater role in the universe than the Standard Model allows. Rather than replace modern astronomy, the objective of the EU Model is to broaden the conceptual framework—cosmic electrical activity, planetary catastrophes, plasma phenomena…
