May 7, 2019 Gravity does not bend light. Electric Universe theory paints a dubious picture about dark matter. It is an add-on, or ad hoc, theory because Big Bang cosmology is incomplete, always requiring a new prop. The Big Bang is supposed to be what brought all matter and energy,…
May 6, 2019 Venus is a mysterious planet. We are disappointed if the cold-blooded scientist assures us that Man cannot exist on Mars. … We do resent a restraint on our imagination. We should like to believe in marvelous men on Venus.— Harlow Shapley Over the past 6 decades, 22…
May 3, 2019 The Universe is a bright beacon. “If the presence of electricity can be made visible in any part of the circuit, I see no reason why intelligence may not be transmitted instantaneously by electricity.”— Samuel Morse A previous Picture of the Day discussed the phantom force known…
Apr 11, 2018 Sunspots are poorly understood. “High noon, I can’t believe my eyes,Wind is ragin’, there’s a fire in the sky.Ground shakin’, everything comin’ loose,Run like a coward but it ain’t no use.Edge of the river, it’s an ugly scene,People gettin’ pushed, people gettin’ mean.The change is comin’ and…
May 1, 2019 Dark energy is a kludge. More than twenty years ago, astronomers found that observations of remote galaxies seemed to indicate the Universe is expanding faster today than it did in the past. The Big Bang theory does not contain that anomalous observation, so a force that exerts…
Apr 30, 2019 Stellar oscillators. Stars are the foci for immense energy from the galaxies in which they live. They are electromagnetic entities, so they cannot be classified by mass, or a particular elemental constitution. They are not internally powered objects, they are bodies formed from plasma filaments squeezing matter…
Apr 25, 2019 Galaxies are electromagnetic. Electric Universe theory sees galactic evolution as large-scale plasma discharges that form spinning wheels composed of coherent filaments. Those galactic structures display electrodynamic behavior and are not merely gravitationally bound assemblies of isolated stars. Stars in galaxies can form along arcs like silver beads…
Apr 24, 2019 The Sun causes Earth’s magnetosphere to oscillate. Planetary scientists are slowly coming to realize that Earth’s ionosphere is connected to the Sun by “ropes” of electric charge.That idea is a basic tenet of Electric Universe theory. Earth has a plasmasphere, so it is electrically active, coupled to…
Apr 23, 2019 Spherical clusters of stars are another example of how plasma is organized and confined into coherent formations. “The image is more than an idea. It is a vortex or cluster of fused ideas and is endowed with energy.”— Ezra Pound NGC 6093 (otherwise known as M80) orbits…
Apr 22, 2019 Are new moons hiding in Saturn’s rings? “We must believe then, that as from hence we see Saturn and Jupiter; if we were in either of the Two, we should discover a great many Worlds which we perceive not; and that the Universe extends so in infinitum.”—Cyrano…
