The Planet Mars — our closest planetary neighbor, and a source of enormous mystery for space science and academia. In our previous episode, our guest Ev Cochrane summarized some of the incredible identities given Mars in ancient myth, astronomical traditions and religion. For decades, Cochrane and his colleagues, including David…
Earlier this month, investigators with NASA’s historic Osiris-REx mission held a press conference reporting some of their initial findings at the asteroid Bennu. Like all of the recent space missions to comets, planets as well as asteroids, the findings have provided surprise after surprise to investigators. In this interview with…
It’s perhaps one of the great unresolved yet overlooked mysteries facing academia and science — the extraordinary identities of planets in myth and tradition. Nothing in the familiar ideas about our history can explain the incredible patterns, found in extensive cross-cultural comparison, of words, phrases, imagery and storytelling describing a…
In recent months, according to a number of scientific reports, the dusty winds and sand dune formations on the planet Mars have grown even more mysteries. In this episode, we explore why Electric Universe geology may hold the key to resolving both the mysterious processes in Mars’ past, and those…
For many years, images of the the clustered galaxies of Stephan’s Quintet have suggested interactions that should not be taking place, at least not according to the assumptions of standard cosmology. As Thunderbolts colleague Mel Acheson explains, Stephan’s Quintet invalidates the cornerstone of Big Bang and expanding-universe cosmology: the assumption…
NASA’s Dawn mission at the dwarf planet Ceres has revealed many unresolved mysteries. These include why the heavily cratered surface of Ceres features a surprising absence of large craters; why we have never found any meteorites from Ceres on Earth; and it’s a puzzle where exactly Ceres might have formed,…
June 30th marked the annual celebration of Asteroid Day, and science media used the occasion to suggest the need for greater funding for planetary defense against such an intruder. But just how real is the danger to Earth from kinetic impacts from asteroids, comets and meteors? In this episode, we…
A new investigation into the wind patterns in Earth’s upper atmosphere may provide critical insight into our planet’s electrical environment, and its relationship to the Sun. In numerous past episodes, retired professor of electrical engineering Dr. Donald Scott has outlined his mathematical modeling of a Birkeland current’s structure, and its…
In the first three parts of this presentation, Thunderbolts colleague Andrew Hall has explored the electrical nature of wind and powerful storms on Earth, and on planets throughout the solar system. Of course, geologists tell us that winds played a significant role in shaping the landscape of our planet, supposedly…
Since the start of the Space Age in the late 1950s, scientists were often surprised about what was found by space probes and remote detection devices. Probe results were often described as “surprising” or “unexpected”. In 1950 there were four major assumptions that were directly or indirectly used in developing…
