The Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) is the most energetic electromagnetic phenomenon known to science. A so-called long duration GRB only lasts about two-seconds and is thought to occur due to the core collapse of a black hole during a supernova which then forms astrophysical jets that emit gamma rays. No kidding….
Re-released with enhanced audio… Wal Thornhill’s groundbreaking EU2015 presentation where he uses logic and reason to define gravity—then aptly describe the taproot force of the universe, Electromagnetism. A point of view as valid today as it was a decade ago. In the Standard Model the role of gravity is settled—although…
Narrated by David Drew. Tenth episode in the Misconception series on the EU Model. The Big Bang Theory was formulated in the late 1920s by Georges Lemaître, a Belgian priest and mathematician to reconcile science and theology. Father Georges’ primeval atom was less a physical hypothesis than a metaphysical one—Creatio…
A reading of the article “Spiral Galaxies and Grand Canyons” by Wal Thornhill. Narrated by David Harrison, proprietor of Stickman On Stone. The grandest canyon in the solar system is Valles Marineris stretching a third of the way around the planet Mars. So what exactly does a spiral galaxy have…
Of all the astronomical processes observed in nature, the most emphatic evidence in favor of plasma cosmology and the EU Model is star formation. In August 2025, the journal Science Advances published “Massive extended streamers feed high-mass young stars.” This peer-reviewed paper explores the critical role of said streamers—(a new…
In 1834 Michael Faraday wrote a letter to William Whewell of Trinity College, asking for help on a vocabulary to use for the new science of electricity. It was Whewell who coined the term “scientist” and Faraday asked him to come up with new words to help define electro-magnetism—in short,…
The phrase “Saturn Theory” means different things to different people and it’s necessary to distinguish between competing scenarios—but common consensus is a presumption that the planet Saturn played a pivotal role in recent Earth history and in the development of human civilization. The theory can be traced to Immanuel Velikovsky…
Valles Marineris is a gargantuan canyon that stretches 2,485 miles across the surface of Mars and cuts four times deeper than the single mile depth of the Grand Canyon on Earth. What mysterious force removed two million cubic kilometers from the Martian surface—could a cosmic thunderbolt have given Mars one…
Comets are an enduring mystery that has confronted astronomers for decades—these so-called dirty snowballs sometimes erupt with activity or even explode at vast distances from our Sun. Comet activity has been observed two-billion miles from the Sun—where the average temperature in space is a few hundred degrees fahrenheit below zero….
Narrated by David Drew. Ninth episode in the Misconception series on the EU Model. As legend has it, when Einstein was asked, “Who is the smartest person you have met?” he responded: “My chauffeur.” When asked why this was, he said. “He stood in for me once when I was…
