A team of scientists has observed an object which is again blurring the line between asteroids and comets. Scientists using the University of Hawaii’s ATLAS telescope have observed a cometary display from a type of asteroid known as a Jupiter Trojan asteroid. Dubbed 2019 LD2, it is the first such…
New scientific reports throw into disarray the standard theory of the origins of our planet’s moon. A decade ago, the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency’s spacecraft Kaguya spent a year and a half orbiting the moon and collecting data. The spacecraft was equipped with an ion mass spectrometer, and it detected…
New scientific reports from scientists with NASA’s Insight mission reveal startling data about the planet Mars – data which challenges some fundamental ideas in planetary science. In late November of 2016, the InSight lander touched down on the red planet’s surface. One of the most surprising discoveries for investigators came…
It’s common to hear people refer to “what science says.” But the term ‘science’ has two conflicting senses: science as currently-accepted theory and science as method. In fact, in pursuing the questions raised by currently-accepted theory, method is likely to overturn currently-accepted theory. As Thunderbolts contributor Mel Acheson explains in…
Comparative mythologist Ev Cochrane, author of “Martian Metamorphoses”, continues his series on his lifelong research into the themes and archetypes of world mythology. Previously, Ev presented his investigation into ancient Egyptian traditions which describe the Sun appearing atop a lotus-flower at the time of Creation. According to both David Talbott…
For many years, one of the “great mysteries” in planetary science has been the high temperatures in the upper atmospheres of gas giant planets. The apparent anomaly cannot be explained due to simple solar heating given the planets’ tremendous distance from the Sun. Recently, a team of scientists reported that…
The geological features of our planet tell an astonishing story – a story that defies explanation based on standard theoretical processes. Natural philosopher, engineer and Thunderbolts contributor Andrew Hall explores theoretical pathways which draw analogs between Earth geology, and some of the most powerful atmospheric phenomena seen in the solar…
It was in 2013 that The SAFIRE Project began. Watch as Ben Ged Low presents the path of this historical experiment of the Electric Sun model from its origins to the present. After years of research, SAFIRE has emerged as a ‘Transformative Technology’ which doesn’t produce toxic waste, isn’t antithetical…
Scientific research into the Sun’s effects on life on Earth has yielded results that may surprise you. Over a century ago, the Soviet-era scientist Alexander Chizhevsky conducted exhaustive studies demonstrating an apparent correlation between solar activity and prominent historical events and societal changes. Today, geomagnetic effects on Earth’s biology, and…
The philosophical branch of epistemology explores the limits of human knowledge — not just the quality of “facts” and data, but our very ABILITY to know. Thunderbolts contributor Mel Acheson leads us on another epistemological adventure, this time asking the most fundamental question of all: What is Reality? SOURCE ARTICLE…
