Original Post January 19, 2012 Earth is said to emit heat energy because radioactive elements decay in its depths. Electrical activity might be a better explanation. “Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.” — William Butler Yeats A recent press release…
Original Post January 18, 2012 The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is providing more evidence for the Electric Universe theory. The Moon has intrigued humanity since the beginning. Where did it come from? What is it made of? Today, those questions remain unanswered, for the most part, although technological advancements have provided…
Original Post January 15, 2012 Is there a connection between Australia’s lunettes and Carolina’s oval bays? Scattered around the shoreline and erratically buried in the sand dune lunettes of Lake Victoria lay an estimated 15,000 aboriginal bodies of uncertain age. Archaeologist Colin Pardoe believes they represent a communal burial ground…
Original Post January 14, 2012 Balanced rock formations are common. But how to explain balanced water? At first thought, one would not expect water to run down the hip ridge of a hill. The gravitational condition is unstable equilibrium: any deviation from the exact locus of highest points will perpetuate…
Original Post January 3, 2011 Mergers are out. Vanity is in: active galaxies are self-absorbed. For many years, the only acceptable explanation of high galactic x-ray output accompanied by high redshift was mergers of galaxies. The universe became a bumper-car arena where every presumed high-energy event was proof of a…
Original Post January 12, 2012 Does the acceleration of gravity alone create high frequency radiation? “Greatness is a zigzag streak of lightning in the brain.” — Herbert Asquith, Prime Minister of the UK, 1908-1916 Black holes are theoretically required because velocity and gravity calculations of motions at the galactic center…
Original Post January 11, 2012 Galactic haloes are best explained using the Electric Universe theory. There are rings around planets, rings around stars, and there are rings around galactic nuclei, as demonstrated by the Hubble Space Telescope image of AM 0644-741. Although the conventional explanation for such structures is that…
Original Post January 8, 2012 What model best fits heliospheric behavior? “How now, wit! Whither wander you?” — William Shakespeare: As You Like it, Act 1, Scene 2 Space, it is said, is a vacuum. Since the best pumped vacuum on Earth reaches a 0.1 millimeter spacing between individual atoms,…
Original Post January 2, 2012 If redshift (z) indicates distance, then astronomers have discovered the superlative object: the most distant, the most ancient, the most luminous, the most massive. Analysis of the object’s spectrum shows that its lines have shifted toward the red by over 700% (z=7.1). The consensus opinion…
Original Post January 06, 2012 From galaxies to the laboratory, transverse electric currents accompany a main discharge channel. That “main discharge channel” experienced by most people comes in the form of a terrestrial lighting bolt. Slow-motion studies reveal that each flash is a complex episode. Multiple leader strokes descend from…
