In this Discourse David Talbott extends his review of the ancient “labyrinth” theme, suggesting that a concrete explanation could lie within our reach: “It should go without saying that, in the absence of a concrete referent, such storytelling will appear to have no believable interpretation. But if we tentatively grant…
In the first two parts of this presentation, Thunderbolts contributor Andrew Hall laid a theoretical foundation for a new understanding of the spectacular atmospheric and weather phenomena seen throughout the solar system. The electromagnetic nature of countless of these phenomena is no longer debated, but the underlying mechanisms are. In…
In the 21st century, with increasing frequency astronomical literature recognizes a long-taboo subject — the existence of electric currents in space: from the electrical Earth-Sun connection, to the electric currents connecting the gas giant planets to their respective moons, to the vast cosmic jets of active galactic nuclei. Yet these…
A new scientific study based on data from the Hubble Space Telescope was recently published which affirms what many other papers have reported in recent years: the so-called expansion of the Universe appears to be accelerating much too quickly to explain through any kind of known physics. However, plasma cosmology…
Some storms suck and others blow…By Andrew Hall On Earth, hurricanes and typhoons are called cyclones and occur over the oceans. The cyclonic storm develops an eye in the center of rotation, where high altitude, dry air is drawn down the center. The thing to know is that the eye…
Coherent patterns exist in nature at all scales, and electricity seems to have an important role in the evolution of all things. Have you ever wondered how species-specific pollination occurs or how certain creatures can exhibit seemingly instantaneous collective coherent movements at high speeds? This presentation will introduce a company…
In recent years, one of the great shocks in space science has been the discovery of just how incredible the electromagnetic energies are at the gas giant Jupiter. Astronomers had long known that Jupiter possesses an extensive and powerful magnetic field, as well as tremendous x-ray aurorae, super-fast winds, and…
For many decades, in the standard story of our solar system, we have been told that asteroids, as well as comets and meteoroids are the so-called left-overs of the early solar system. In this view, comets and asteroids have been proposed as the possible source of our planet’s oceans. Of…
Our planet’s atmosphere is home to extraordinary electrical activity. As we’ve noted, retired professor of electrical engineering Dr. Donald Scott developed a mathematical model of the structure of a Birkeland current, which can be identified visually as counterrotating cylinders. We have suggested that the counterrotation clearly seen at the poles…
Today, physicist Eugene Bagashov explores a longstanding, highly controversial hypothesis in astronomy — the alleged existence of the so-called planet nine in our solar system. Some astronomers have proposed that the gravitational influence of such a planet outside the orbit of Neptune could explain some anomalies, including the odd clustering…
