July 17, 2012 Some so-called “neutron star pulsars” are said to create nebulae as they spin. The standard model of stellar evolution proposes that pulsars are neutron stars rotating at incredible speed. For example, PSR J1748-2446ad, in the globular cluster Terzan 5, is reported to be spinning at almost 43,000 revolutions…
July 16, 2012 Are geologic events cyclic? It seems possible that plasma interactions with Earth and other charged bodies in space or the impact on our biosphere from ion beams, could disrupt all the elemental changes that are used to date rocks. Earth could be much younger than the…
July 13, 2012 Is this elongated crater in the Negev desert the result of water erosion? Ramon Crater in Israel is the largest erosion crater known, measuring 40 kilometers long by 10 kilometers at its widest point. The Hebrew word “makhtesh” actually means “cirque”, a bowl-shaped depression at the upper…
July 10, 2012 How the Sun’s interior generates its magnetic field is a long-standing mystery for heliophysicists. It is commonly believed that there is an electromagnetic dynamo inside the Sun. That dynamo has long been thought to be powered by two forces: the “stretching and winding” of magnetic fields…
July 09, 2012 Plasma instabilities are a better explanation for the Milky Way’s strangely distorted central ring. According to a recent press release, “…observations from the Herschel Space Observatory show a bizarre, twisted ring of dense gas at the center of our Milky Way galaxy.” The ring observation is not new,…
July 06, 2012 What happened to the ring of dust circling TYC 8241 2652 in the constellation Centaurus? A recent press release expresses surprise and confusion about the absence of a stellar dust ring that seems to have vanished without a trace. What is most surprising to astronomers is…
July 02, 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 closer looks…
July 02, 2012 Io has puzzled planetary scientists for years. Electric Universe advocates are not so mystified. “The Io close-up shows a surface that bears all of the classic features of a spark-machined surface—the flat clean crater floors and steep circular scalloped walls with sharp edges.” — Wal Thornhill, December…
June 29, 2012 The only moon in the Solar System with an all-encompassing magnetic field continues to be a source of speculation. Over the last three decades, beginning with Pioneer 10 in 1973 and including the most recent visit by New Horizons, seven different remote observation platforms have flown past…
June 28, 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 they are…
