Mars is alive with geophysical activity. Geophysics means the study of Earth’s physical processes. For planetary scientists, the idea of such processes occurring on Mars was once highly improbable, if not unthinkable. Mars has no coherent global magnetic field, an atmosphere one half of one percent as dense as Earth’s,…
So, what’s the deal with matter? At the human scale, matter is something like a rock: You can hold it in your hand, feel its weight, and see something solid with sharp boundaries. It is there. However, when you look at it with an electron microscope, the solidity is mostly…
Many are aware of the Global Positioning System (GPS) by the very fact that it WORKS and confirms Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity—but the latter is a popular fiction according to distinguished GPS expert Ron Hatch. In this re-release of his EU2013 Conference talk presented on Friday, January 4,…
In the EU Model of Cosmology, plasma phenomena discharges come in three levels of intensity—dark mode, glow mode, and arc mode. In beautiful and intricate structures such as the Butterfly Nebula, the stars-throwing-off-gas theory is REPLACED by normal Birkeland currents in glow mode where the currents are necking down on…
Stephan’s Quintet is a close group of five distorted galaxies that appear to be interacting. Their arms are stretched, twisted, intertwined—and the two galaxies closest to each other seem to be mashed together. Apparently the larger galaxy is 250 million light-years closer than the others. Two that appear mashed together…
A walk down memory lane and a bit of history from comparative mythologist Ev Cochrane. In 1979, Ev wrote an article arguing that Inanna, as the planet Venus, was best understood as a comet-like phenomenon. Shortly thereafter, finding a kindred spirit in Dave Talbott, they jointly authored a series of…
The Thunderbolts Project’s Chief Science Advisor, Wal Thornhill, gave a critical examination of the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) mission in this re-release of his EU2014 Conference talk presented on Saturday, March 22, 2014. MAVEN launched in November 2013 to explore the Red Planet’s upper atmosphere, ionosphere and…
In this re-release of his EU2013 Conference talk, Gerald H. Pollack, PhD, gave this one-hour presentation about the historical research and recent discovery of the electric charge within water on Saturday, January 5, 2013. We are taught water has three phases: solid, liquid, vapor. In 2003, Dr. Pollack and…
In the beginning, a long time ago, and far, far away there was nothing, which manifested a singularity, which exploded, and over billions of years produced not only our vast material universe, but also life and the entire spectrum of the non-material or spiritual realm. So goes the Big…
Another baffling surprise has been revealed by NASA’s Juno space probe since it entered Jupiter’s orbit in 2016. It’s the discovery of multiple cyclones which appear fixed and unmoving at each of Jupiter’s poles. Nothing in the standard theoretical toolkits of atmospheric and planetary science predicted nor can explain…
