What will the JWST tell us about the origins of life, newborn planets, and subsequent formation of planetary systems? The L-Type Brown Dwarf is a class of faint star bridging the gap between stars and Jupiter-sized planets, and the most numerous stellar object in the galaxy. Life may be…
In his previous show, Wal Thornhill, Thunderbolts Chief Science Advisor, predicted JWST discoveries that will fundamentally change the view of the big bang creation myth and the failed gravitational model of galaxies. For this second episode on the JWST, Wal describes the wide gulf between thermonuclear and electric star…
There has been no substantial change in our understanding of the universe since the middle of the 20th century. The narrative has become complicated as barnacles of ad hoc theory are encrusted in a Titanic of institutionalised science. Fundamental changes will eventually sink the standard model. Thunderbolts Chief Science…
Fear and division are being whipped up globally through a compliant media and the internet as if it were wartime. The difference now is that the war is against Nature on two fronts—a pandemic and a human-triggered planetary heat death. And as usual in wartime, truth is the first…
In Part Two of our interview with Wal Thornhill, Chief Science Advisor of The Thunderbolts Project, we explore a number of intriguing space science discoveries, including supernovae, “neutron stars,” “black holes” and “white dwarf” stars which appear to break the expected rules of standard cosmology. Are these “weird” objects really…
Physicist Wal Thornhill, Chief Science Advisor of The Thunderbolts Project, joins us to discuss a number of recent scientific discoveries relating to the nature of stars. These discoveries confound or are irreconcilable with standard ideas about how stars form, where their energy comes from and why they go supernova. In…
Congratulations Rosetta, Shame About The Science… By Wal Thornhill Congratulations to the team responsible for the success of the Rosetta mission to comet 67 P Churyumov-Gerasimenko (henceforth 67 P). However, it’s a shame that scientists misled the engineers with their cherished story of icy comets, which resulted in an inappropriate design…
It is essential in these exuberant times to pay critical attention to both the observational constraints and to the basic mathematical laws, with a clear sense of what is solid theory and what is only unsupported speculation. This seeming platitude is offered here without jest, because at the present time…
Editors Note: The Bentham Open Astronomy Journal has now published a “Special Edition” with a focus on Plasma Cosmology. A peer-reviewed journal, its goal is to publish quality papers rapidly and to make them freely available to researchers worldwide. The following article by Wallace Thornhill, chief science advisor of the…
“Science today is about getting some results, framing those results in an attention-grabbing media release and basking in the glory.” —Kerry Cue, Canberra Times, 5 October 2011 On October 4, 2011 the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to three astrophysicists for “THE ACCELERATING UNIVERSE.” Prof. Perlmutter of the University of California,…
