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…
A very large planet has been found orbiting a very small star—and the two are very close. According to the tyrannical self-referential contemporary settled science, this is impossible because gravity cannot cause this. The star has 1/5 the radius of our Sun, the planet location is 1/10 of the distance…
A reading of the article “The Madness of Black Holes” by Wal Thornhill. Narrated by David Harrison, proprietor of Stickman On Stone. Scientists are people and not immune to the madness of crowds. Ideas that appear folly initially may with time and a growing clamor of consensus delude people into…
The radiance of the Sun remains a mystery. Other than the occasional aurora, lightning flash, volcanic eruption, or comet discharging, it’s the only body in our solar system that produces it’s own visible light. All others reflect the light of the Sun. So what unique trait of the Sun enables…
The re-release of Jerry Pollack’s EU2017 Conference presentation. Weather is a phenomenon centered on water and influenced by electrical charge. Among atmospheric scientists, two central features of weather dynamics remain mechanistically uncertain—evaporation and cloud formation. Absent proper understanding, predicting weather patterns remains challenging. Why can clouds suspend themselves above the…
Narrated by David Drew. Eighth episode in the Misconception series on the EU Model. There is a quiet crisis in science education—a crisis not of intelligence, but of vision. Too often, students are taught what to think, not how to question. Astrophysical textbooks continue to downplay plasma and electromagnetism, despite…
