This is the story of the Star that nearly wiped-out humanity! Scholz star is a dim binary stellar system about 22 light years from Earth. Thousands of years ago this star system was an awful lot closer and it has been determined it passed within a mere 52,000 astronomical units…
“As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.”― ALBERT EINSTEIN 1879-1955Address to the Prussian Academy of SciencesBerlin, January 27, 1921 Albert Einstein is a cultural phenomenon. His face is still regularly…
EINSTEIN AND THE CULT OF CELEBRITY by David Drew Albert Einstein is a cultural phenomenon. He has enjoyed scientific celebrity status for decades and his face is still regularly splashed across electronic and print media. He also has a lot of critics, although you don’t hear too much about them…
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…
Light makes different sounds which are dynamic, gorgeous, and mimic living creatures and other sounds of nature. When most people think about light it’s what our eyes can see, visible light—the single octave from red-to-violet light in the electromagnetic spectrum—although, in the scientific lexicon “light” is defined as the EM…
Lightning is an electrical discharge observed as vertical cloud-to-ground lightning strikes—but electrical discharges also occur cloud-to-cloud -or- ground-to-ground with a different return path in the circuit. Landforms can be identified with an understanding of energy, frequency and vibration. In a holographic Electric Universe, everything is an interference pattern, including matter—it’s…
Original Post December 31, 2013 What takes place in thunderstorms on Earth is most likely a smaller version of large scale phenomena. “I have always believed that astrophysics should be the extrapolation of laboratory physics, that we must begin from the present Universe and work our way backward to…
There is evidence of widespread sedimentary layering along the canyon walls of Mars’ Valles Marineris. Where did it come from? It isn’t in a basin—in fact its near the top of a bulge over 6 miles above the datum. For sedimentation of this kind to exist, it would have needed…
Would you be surprised if the origin story of the Grand Canyon still confounds the experts? Problem with the standard theory 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. Also, it flows…
In this re-release of his EU2017 Conference presentation, Edwin Kaal proposed a new model for the atom based upon principles of densest packing, balancing of electrostatic forces, symmetry, and the stable geometry of Platonic solids. It’s called the Structured Atom Model (SAM). In his model, the sacrosanct strong force of…
