New scientific research into the planet-forming conditions in so-called young star systems has delivered a shocking blow to gravitational accretion theory. In a paper published in the journal Astronomy Astrophysics, scientists described their attempts to determine how much material is present in the disks around stars that are thought to…
In part one of this presentation, Thunderbolts colleague Peter Mungo Jupp began a provocative reassessment of the standard geological and anthropological timetables on planet Earth. We have proposed a radically alternative history for our planet, and indeed our entire solar system. In relatively recent times, there was a chaotic period…
Earlier this year, scientists from New York and Sweden published the results of their sweeping study of 5 million DNA barcodes from about 100,000 different animal species. As reported by phys.org on May 28, 2018, the results are “sure to jostle, if not overturn, more than one settled idea about…
Most people have heard of the “mind/body connection” and are aware that emotions affect the way people act. However, few can describe how that works. What is relatively new is our understanding that emotions are stored in and around the body as magnetic fields. Not only do these magnetic fields…
The famous hexagon at Saturn’s north pole has perplexed scientists since its discovery since the form is not seen in any other planetary atmosphere. In recent years, simple fluidic experiments on Earth have succeeded in producing a hexagonal structure, providing an explanation that planetary scientists have heretofore favored. However, recent…
Since 1908 when Kristian Birkeland proposed that Earth’s “Northern and Southern Lights” (aurorae Borealis and Australis) are powered by electric currents coming from the Sun, scientists have wondered what exact shape these currents have and whether there are any other examples of these kinds of electrical currents in our universe….
In this episode, we again explore the remarkable contributions of a new member of the electric universe experimentalist community. In a previous Space News, we introduced the research of Jacob Gable, whose simple demonstrations of electrical discharge in a homemade vacuum chamber have produced extraordinary analogs to the craters commonly…
Space is a big place. One might think that within that unfathomable vastness, for objects to suffer the same fate as automobiles in busy traffic would be an exceedingly rare occurrence. Nevertheless, a cosmic collision is a process that astronomers and astrophysicists routinely propose to try to explain countless data…
Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity requires systems of clock-synchronized stationary observers and the Lorentz Transformation. Without both, the Theory of Relativity fails. A system of clock-synchronized stationary observers is, however, inconsistent with the Lorentz Transformation because it is Galilean. The Special Theory of Relativity insists that systems of Galilean observers…
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…
