Aug 16, 2017 Cosmic rays are poorly understood. “…plasma is so silly that it does not understand the sophisticated mathematics, or it is that the plasma is so clever that it finds other ways of behaving, ways which the theoreticians were not clever enough to anticipate.” — Hannes Alfvén On…
Aug 15, 2017 Matter in the plasma state exhibits extreme activity. According to a recent press release, galaxy NGC 1222 is a “peculiar example” of lenticular galaxy. It is peculiar because lenticular galaxies are supposed to have used up the material available for new stars to form. NGC 1222,…
Aug 14, 2017 What drives anomalous formations on planets and moons? Plumes of charged plasmas are seen ascending from several bodies in the Solar System. Jupiter’s energetic moon, Io, hosts filamentary discharges that extend hundreds of kilometers into space. The Cassini mission to Saturn discovered bursts of ionized vapor erupting…
Aug 11, 2017 Exoplanets might not exist. Extra-solar planets, or exoplanets, are said to be orbiting various stars in the Milky Way. In the past, it was thought impossible to locate those planetary bodies, because light from distant stars is so bright that it drowns out light from dim, reflecting…
Aug 10, 2017 “Unknown by means of the more unknown”. Old minds are like old horses; you must exercise them if you wish to keep them in working order. — John Adams Electric Universe theory presupposes that Earth and the Solar System experienced catastrophic events sometime in the recent…
Aug 9, 2017 Astronomical theories would benefit from an understanding of plasma-state matter. Winston Bostick is a pioneer of Electric Universe theories, although he did not identify with those ideas by name. He is particularly noted for plasmoid experiments that led to the construction of a dense-plasma focus device. One…
Aug 4, 2017 Is the Universe expanding? “As a general scientific principle, it is undesirable to depend crucially on what is unobservable to explain what is observable, as happens frequently in Big Bang cosmology.” — Halton Arp Electric Universe theory states that stars are born where regions of space…
Aug 3, 2017 Electricity in space explains anomalous energy curves. Cosmologists often find it difficult to reconcile theory with observation. So-called “gamma-ray bursts” (GRB) are a case in point. GRBs were discovered first in galaxies with high redshift—some seeming to be 12 billion light-years away. If they are that…
Aug 2, 2017 Lightning-like electric discharges occur above the clouds. Capacitors accumulate and store electric charge in two conductive plates separated by a dielectric insulator. Charge on one plate attracts opposite charge to the other, creating an electric field that forms an electrical energy reserve. The electric field between plates…
Aug 1, 2017 The Sun displays electric arc behavior. The sun is new each day. — Heraclitus The Electronic Sun theory presupposes that sunspots, flares, coronal heating, and coronal mass ejections are due to changes in the Sun’s galactic electrical supply. The contention is that the Sun is powered externally,…
