Following the Herzbrung Russell diagram, astronomers say they can assess the age of a star, which is thought to offer a vital clue to the conditions of the universe since the hypothetical Big Bang, roughly 13.8 billion years ago. This thinking has led to the theoretical creation of a veritable…
Creation. The word itself represents the most fascinating and enduring mystery of all. Yet the circumstances attending the ordering of the world at the Time of Beginning remain inscrutable even now in the 21st century, well over four-thousand years after the first written accounts that describe the birth of everything….
Twelfth and final episode of the series—Misconceptions on the EU Model—with an emphasis on how cosmology, and its discipline of astrophysics, is practiced, interpreted, marketed, and then absorbed by society. Narrated by David Drew. Why Electricity Over Magnetism? Every magnetic field arises from moving electric charge. Magnetism is not separate…
This is the story of the Star that nearly wiped-out humanity! Scholz star is a dim binary stellar system about 22 light years from Earth. Thousands of years ago this star system was an awful lot closer and it has been determined it passed within a mere 52,000 astronomical units…
Ben Hyde demonstrates three MORE simple experiments you can do at home that elucidate we really do live in an Electric Universe. These experiments do not require any expensive lab equipment—just a little curiosity and desire to have fun with science. The focus of the these three new experiments are—The…
An unusual comet appears—a rogue virus threatens pandemic—a geopolitical event terrorizes society. When such aversions occur they trigger Doomsday Anxiety—the fear of the end of the world. Doomsday Anxiety themes (i.e. – global flood deluge, heavenly fire and brimstone) have no roots in our modern age—although various religious cults, preachers,…
A scientific discovery is changing mainstream astronomy’s belief on solar system formation. In the Standard Model, a solar system forms when a parent star is born by the glacially slow process of gravitational collapse, then planets form in a flat nebular cloud. Supposedly, the leftover debris spawns comets, asteroids, and…
Debunking was once a marginal pursuit. Today, it’s an industry—and not always a noble one. On YouTube in particular, debunking has evolved into a performance art: high on confidence, low on curiosity. Debunking has grown into a self-sustaining ecosystem, complete with ad revenue, merchandise, and an online culture that thrives…
The story of our collective understanding of cosmology over several millennia—as told from the western society point of view. Beginning with the epicycles of Claudius Ptolemy, celestial spheres of Nicolaus Copernicus, ellipses of Johannes Kepler, to Galileo Galilei’s discoveries, Gottfried Leibniz’s calculus, and of course, Isaac Newton’s Laws of Motion….
A reading of the article “Electric Gravity in an Electric Universe” by Wal Thornhill. Second episode of a two-part presentation. Narrated by David Harrison, proprietor of Stickman On Stone. Gravitationally, the Earth ‘sees’ the Sun where it is this instant—not where it was more than eight minutes ago. Newton’s famous…
