In this first episode of a two-part presentation, we begin with an open question in biology—how do the shapes of creatures come about? How does a certain frog species obtain its particular shape and not some other? How do its legs and toes and claws always get their particular…
Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus. Many are familiar with this adage, but such ideas were already commonplace by the time of Homer. A famous passage in the Odyssey describes the illicit affair between Ares (Mars) and Aphrodite (Venus) entrapped in flagrante delicto much to the…
The atomic model has remained unchanged for a long time. Yet, there are mysteries it has been unable to solve such as why certain elements are more stable than others, and predicting how large atoms split. In the Structured Atom Model (SAM) the nucleus is constructed using protons which…
While we may not think of science when we think about revolution, surprisingly, scientific progress is a far more revolutionary process than political change. Writer, poet, and discourse analyst, Ghada Chehade, continues her exploration of Kuhn’s paradigm shift model and the present state of cosmology, looking at how the…
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…
Star clusters are large groups of stars. Globular clusters are tightly bound together and can consist of hundreds of millions of stars. Open clusters are loose groups of a few hundred stars and are mostly found within the spiral arms of the galactic plane. Contributor and Electric Universe advocate,…
Natural philosopher Andrew Hall analyzes the wind cut valleys around the near perfect cross of canyons made by two out-of-phase circuits coming together from induced electric winds in the Laramie Mountains of Wyoming. Andy details exactly what geologic researcher Michael Steinbacher theorized on landscapes formed by electric winds that…
In Andrew Hall’s finale of his “Eye of the Storm” series he presented Easter Eggs—surprise geologic findings that confirm a theory, or present astonishing new information about Earth’s electric circuitry. Exploring the Electric Earth is a perpetual egg hunt, because every rock confirms the Bunny is REAL. Electrical discharges…
A supernova begins as a star then undergoes a very rapid transformation which, for an instant, puts out as much energy as the entire galaxy where it lives. This brief, all-encompassing flash is called a ‘supernova’. The star is gone and we see something very different. The center pulses…
In 1956, Winston Harper Bostick demonstrated that an amorphous mass of high-velocity plasma has a natural ability to convert a large proportion of its kinetic energy into magnetic energy, contained in an organised toroidal structure. He called this structure a ‘plasmoid’. Archaeologist and Thunderbolts colleague Peter Mungo Jupp details…
