Matt Finn: Origins of Doomsday Anxiety | Thunderbolts
An unusual comet appears—a rogue virus threatens pandemic—a geopolitical event terrorizes society. When such aversions occur they trigger Doomsday Anxiety—the fear of the end of the world. Doomsday Anxiety themes (i.e. – global flood deluge, heavenly fire and brimstone) have no roots in our modern age—although various religious cults, preachers,…
New Insights into the Holy Grail of Physics – or What Do Rabbits Have to Do with the Cosmos?
New Insights into the Holy Grail of Physics – or What Do Rabbits Have to Do with the Cosmos? by Mathias Hüfner Abstract: This paper develops a unified physical model in which electrons are not point-like charges but real toroidal current structures with intrinsic rotation. The coupling of translational and…
Stuart Talbott: Inside-Out Solar System Puzzle | Thunderbolts
A scientific discovery is changing mainstream astronomy’s belief on solar system formation. In the Standard Model, a solar system forms when a parent star is born by the glacially slow process of gravitational collapse, then planets form in a flat nebular cloud. Supposedly, the leftover debris spawns comets, asteroids, and…
Richard Moore: A Brief History of Cosmology | Thunderbolts
The story of our collective understanding of cosmology over several millennia—as told from the western society point of view. Beginning with the epicycles of Claudius Ptolemy, celestial spheres of Nicolaus Copernicus, ellipses of Johannes Kepler, to Galileo Galilei’s discoveries, Gottfried Leibniz’s calculus, and of course, Isaac Newton’s Laws of Motion….
Thornhill’s POV: Electric Gravity in an Electric Universe, Part 2 | Thunderbolts
A reading of the article “Electric Gravity in an Electric Universe” by Wal Thornhill. Second episode of a two-part presentation. Narrated by David Harrison, proprietor of Stickman On Stone. Gravitationally, the Earth ‘sees’ the Sun where it is this instant—not where it was more than eight minutes ago. Newton’s famous…
Donald E. Scott: Birkeland Currents & Weather | Thunderbolts
Our planet’s polar wind patterns are driven from the outside—not by any surface or internal Earthbound processes or ‘dynamos’. The main external source of these polar winds is the varying strength and direction of the Birkeland Current stream of electrically charged particles it delivers—both to and from the Sun. Author…
Stuart Talbott: Impossibly Efficient Exoplanet Genesis | Thunderbolts
In 2025, three massive gas giant exoplanets, around 130 light-years from Earth, were examined using data from the James Webb Space Telescope. These exoplanets, dubbed Super-Jupiters, are 5-to-10 times the mass of the largest planet in our Solar System. A detailed analysis detected uniformly enriched atmospheres with heavy elements including…
What does Entropy have to do with the Sun and Nuclear Fusion?
What does Entropy have to do with the Sun and Nuclear Fusion? by Mathias Hüfner Abstract: The text develops its own structure-based understanding of entropy as an ordering relation and connects it to questions of solar physics and nuclear fusion. The argument proceeds in three main steps: the redefinition of…
Andrew Hall: Discovering Mach Stems | Thunderbolts
When plasma storms engulfed Earth, the shock waves produced such extreme heat and pressure that it ionized the air—creating a charged conduit between an electrical storm and the surface of the ground—evacuating matter leaving sharp geometric cuts in rock. It was apparent these cuts and notches were the effect of…
