For human beings on planet Earth, the ultimate mystery of life may be: how and why does consciousness exist? The unanswered question is characterized as “the hard problem,” which is essentially the mystery of why any physical state is experienced consciously. Of course, the neurosciences have provided extraordinary understandings of …
Dr. Franklin Anariba will update a general electrochemical model by exploring conditions in comets that are amenable to electrochemical processes. Particular attention will be given to recent observations of physical and chemical phenomena that point to a paradigm shift in the science of cometary bodies. He presented the first outline …
New scientific reports are again confirming the electrical nature of one of the most mysterious phenomena in the cosmos, the comet. For more than a decade, scientists have puzzled over the spectacular display of Comet McNaught, C/2006 P1. Utilizing a new image processing technique, scientists studying the comet’s extraordinary dust …
In 1950 Immanuel Velikovsky threw down a gauntlet to astronomers in his sensational best-selling book, Worlds in Collision, where he proposed, on the basis of documentary evidence, that gravitation is an electromagnetic phenomenon. Leading American astronomers were enraged and behaved like medieval priests whose sanctified gravitational cosmology was being violated. …
Before the space age, astronomers looked up at the night sky and saw points and patches of light. With the aid of telescopes they could see more points and patches, and with the aid of spectroscopes they could discover what the points and patches were made of and how they …
Ev Cochrane will show that the name for the red planet Mars comes from the cult of the Latin god Mars as well as document that the characteristics of the Latin god are closely paralleled in the earliest Babylonian descriptions of the red planet. Far from being confined to the …
Scientists are again puzzling over the behaviors of a so-called neutron star which completely confounds conventional models. The object is producing relativistic jets and has a magnetic field that astrophysicists have estimated to be 10 trillion times stronger than that of our Sun. However, standard theory has held that such …
Peter Jupp will discuss petrification as instantaneous and under the control of dynamic Earth-shaking events. What have we found on Earth to demonstrate this hypothesis? A forest of giant trees turned to solid rock. A soft-bodied crab petrified to rock and enclosed in the center of a basalt Thunderegg. Dinosaur …
How do objects in our Universe form? In the unimaginably vast cosmos, at all scales, from comets and asteroids in our solar system to the vastest superclusters of galaxies stretching for hundreds of millions of light years, astronomers and astrophysicists imagine gravitational processes, and only gravitational processes governing these objects’ …
David Talbott will examine the protocol for cross-cultural investigation, bringing an objective standard to a field of study that scholars have long assumed to be hopelessly subjective. Is it really possible to identify extraordinary natural events hidden within a carnival of ancient myths and symbols? Our claim is that world …
