Original Post August 21, 2013 When considering the topography of our planet, it is possible to look at it in different ways. The first consideration is that what is seen can be viewed with an assumption that it took millions or billions of years to form the current landscape….
Original Post August 19, 2013 Cosmologists still have no idea what dark energy is. In 1998, two astronomical research teams independently discovered what is now called “dark energy.” Saul Perlmutter of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Brian Schmidt from the Australian National University projects each led the two…
Original Post March 5, 2013 Cold dark matter theory might be in need of serious revision. Dark matter theory makes the news every once in awhile. Although cold dark matter (CDM) gets its name from the idea that it cannot be detected with any known instruments, cosmologists persist in…
Shine On, You Crazy Diamond! by Andrew Hall This week I received the news of Wal Thornhill’s passing. I wish to pay tribute with this article. Wal was a mentor to us all in the most important field of all – the true nature of our universe. Wal’s many theories…

Original Post February 4, 2013 The Cassini space probe’s flyby of Iapetus confirms its electrical attributes. The closest images of Iapetus ever taken came from the Cassini spacecraft as it flew to within 5000 kilometers of its target, resolving features as small as ten meters. In a previous Picture…
Original Post January 28, 2013 Plasma discharge experiments replicate Martian features. On Mars, craters, canyons, dunes and many other features do not readily correspond to contemporary theories about their evolution. Dunes that do not align with the direction of the prevailing winds and they do not show any movement…
Original Post January 21, 2013 Did meteor bombardment scar Phobos? Phobos is the largest of the two moons of Mars. Deimos is so small that studying its surface has been problematic for astronomers because it cannot be readily observed from Earth. Only the Viking 2 orbiter, and more recently,…
Original Post January 14, 2013 Extreme magnetic fields in space are said to be caused by the high-speed rotation of neutron stars. Several previous Picture of the Day articles discuss the problem of neutron stars and how they affect the progress of astronomical investigation. According to electric star theory,…
January 7, 2013 Was the early Universe powered by “dark matter annihilation”? According to modern cosmologists, the Universe is composed primarily of dark matter. More than 95% of all that exists is unseen and undetectable by the most sensitive instruments yet devised. Many astrophysicists claim that the earliest stellar…
