Can you learn anything new if you limit yourself to verifying what you think you already know? This question reaches to the very heart of scientific reliability, and today is perhaps more relevant in cosmology than any other scientific endeavor. Gravitational theory has been verified many, many times – but…
The surface of the Earth is a canvas that portrays the artistry and power of the forces that created it. Electric Earth presents a theory of the mechanisms of past cataclysm and how they relate to the forces we see at work in nature today. Through the unfiltered lens of…
Astronomers recently reported what is being hailed as the “first radio telescope detection of a planetary mass object beyond our solar system.” The object, which is being described as a possible “rogue planet,” is challenging some of the astronomers’ bedrock ideas about, among other things, the assumed differences between gas…
One of the great appeals of the electric universe community is its hands-on, experimental approach to testing new ideas. Our rapidly growing community includes many members who have conducted simple experiments to test the role that powerful lightning and other forms of electrical discharge may have played in shaping rocky…
It’s not surprising that we’ve been asked to comment on the YouTube presence of Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson. It seems his star rose spectacularly after a record-setting interview with Britain’s “Channel 4” host Cathy Newman. Posted on YouTube in January, the interview attracted over 11 million views in about six…
Electric Universe theory shows us that the Universe we inhabit is electrical in nature. But what about us as humans? Medical science has been entrenched in the chemical/mechanical nature of the human body, yet we too are electrical in nature. In this talk, we will consider research on the bioelectric…
Since the dawn of the Space Age, the planet Venus has been a proving ground for competing hypotheses in planetary science. From the 1950s to 1970s, Venus was at the center of a blazing scientific controversy. In 1950, in the bestselling book Worlds in Collision, the scientific heretic Immanuel Velikovsky…
NASA is preparing to launch a spacecraft that will approach the sun more closely than any manmade technology in history. NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, a robotic spacecraft intended to explore, among other things, the mysteries of the solar wind, and the enduring puzzle of coronal heating, will approach within less…
Among atmospheric scientists, two central features of weather dynamics remain mechanistically uncertain: evaporation and cloud formation. Absent proper understanding, predicting weather patterns remains challenging. Even simple weather-related phenomena elude understanding. For example: (i) Why can clouds suspend themselves above the earth? From the weight of the constituent water droplets, the…
The electric currents that connect the gas giants Saturn and Jupiter to their respective moons are now recognized in the scientific literature. However, like the spectacular electromagnetic cosmic jets seen exploding from active galactic nuclei, space scientists heretofore have always proposed that the electric currents are the result of strange…
