Matt Finn: Big Banging the CMB Drum | Thunderbolts
“Science by news release.” This retort, known from treasured astronomer Halton Arp, aptly describes when mainstream science media pumps out proclamations—like headlines that declare the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) has confirmed the validity of Big Bang Theory. However, a pattern of foolishness becomes clear when you deconstruct the history of…
Michael Clarage: Solar Filaments and You! | Thunderbolts
There are filaments originating from the Sun that connect matter, energy, and information out and back to every planet in the solar system. These coronal filaments have been known for decades, but only recently it was discovered that they encompass our entire solar system. Everything in the solar system lives…
Misconception #1: Where’s the Problem? | Thunderbolts
Narrated by David Drew. First episode in a Misconception series on the EU Model—with an emphasis on how science is practiced, interpreted, publicized, and absorbed by society. Where’s the Problem?…is often asked as if there is no problem, but is everything rosy in the science garden? Systematic study is a…
Stuart Talbott: Mysterious Magnetar Mystifies Scientists | Thunderbolts
Evidence of the obvious—the extreme magnetism of magnetars show that electric currents drive the observed phenomena of these mysterious objects. In 2003, Magnetar XTE J1810-179 was discovered emitting chaotic radio waves that didn’t match any astrophysical model. In 2008, it just stopped and literally vanished from view. A decade later,…

Ev Cochrane: Turquoise Sun – Prequel to Discovery | Thunderbolts
A prequel story of personal relationships and events which culminated into the recent book “The Case of the Turquoise Sun: A Natural History of Creation” written by Ev Cochrane.

OP ED: Looking Back to the Future
LOOKING BACK TO THE FUTURE by David Drew At the beginning of the last century, it was thought an improved understanding of electromagnetism offered the best way forward for astronomy. It is easy to feel frustrated, therefore, at the pace of progress in the space sciences. Although most sciences have…
David Drew: Looking Back to the Future | Thunderbolts
At the beginning of the 1900s, it was thought an improved understanding of electromagnetism offered the best way forward for astronomy. It is unfortunate, therefore, to feel frustrated at the pace of progress in the space sciences. Although most sciences have progressed leaps and bounds over the past hundred years,…
Stuart Talbott: Jupiter’s Great Blue Spot Mystery | Thunderbolts
Jupiter’s magnetic field and its tremendous X-ray auroras are considerably more powerful than mainstream astronomical models predict. Attempts to explain the colossal electromagnetic Jovian environment is a poignant symbol for institutionalized science today—a clear case of observational data refusing to fit traditional models. An example is found in a recent…
