In this adaptation of Mel Acheson’s Thunderbolts Picture of the Day (TPOD) “Conceptual Chromatography” Mel leads us on a fascinating thought experiment which scrutinizes some of the foundational tenets of modern science and cosmology. An excerpt from the TPOD… This is fun. Let’s play the game with plate tectonics: Instead…
In previous episodes, we have introduced the strange and special role of our planet’s parent star in ancient world traditions. In global myth, folklore, religion and rock art, the celestial body identified as the Sun bares no resemblance at all to the Sun as it appears in our sky today….
One of the most mysterious astrophysical phenomena ever observed is called a pulsar. First discovered more than half a century ago, a pulsar is a source of regular pulses of radiation. Astronomers believe that the source of the emissions is a massively dense, highly magnetized and rapidly rotating star mostly…
The Electric Universe theory proposes that electromagnetism, not gravity, is the predominant organizational force in the cosmos. In the Space Age, countless discoveries, from the networks of filaments connecting objects across vast cosmic distances, to the pervasive magnetism seen at all scales in the Universe, to the structure and motions…
We continue our exploration of the early scientific data from NASA’s historic Parker Solar Probe mission to the Sun. In part one, retired professor of Electrical Engineering Dr. Donald Scott began his analysis some of the most intriguing early findings, including the probe’s “unexpected” detection of magnetic reversals as it…
In December of 2019, the first scientific papers were published on the NASA Parker Solar Probe mission’s earliest findings. The first four papers have suggested a number of “surprising” discoveries, including the speed of the solar wind rotating around the Sun, and the behaviors of dust particles that the probe…
In this adaptation of the Mel Acheson TPOD of the same name, Mel explores why the preference of one cosmology over another can sometimes boil down to a simple matter of familiarity. TPOD original article: “Matter, Charge and Conjecture” Previous Mel Acheson on Space News: “What is Light?” Join us…
In part two of our discussion with physicist Wal Thornhill, we continue to explore the ongoing “crisis in cosmology.” We ask Wal for his thoughts on a number of recent discoveries which stunningly affirm a core tenet of the electric cosmology – no “islands” exist in a Universe where the…
Scientists generally use the term “crisis in cosmology” to describe the numerous and growing evidences that contradict or undermine the Big Bang theory. For decades, numerous scientific papers have been published on the discordancy between the so-called expansion rate in the “early universe,” and the expansion rate in the “later…
Scientists recently reported that the Voyager 2 spacecraft is now the second man-made object to cross the boundary into interstellar space. And as with Voyager 1, the theoretical predictions based on standard solar physics do not match discovery. Of course, the predictions of the Electric Universe theory about the interstellar…
