New scientific reports propose that volcanism on various bodies throughout the solar is more pervasive than scientists ever previously believed, supposedly occurring even on comets. One form of volcanism that scientists have proposed for icy moons and dwarf planets is cryovolcanism, or ice volcanoes. However, as we discuss in this…
In a recent Space News episode, we began the first of a series of reports that challenge the very underpinnings of consensus scientific theories about the nature of stars, including our own Sun. Ever finer technological data continues to provide increasing opportunities to test the respective predictions of the Electric…
For decades, many scientists have believed that asteroid bombardments, such as that which is thought to have killed the dinosaurs, occur on our planet at regular intervals of about every 26 million years. A popular theory was that a dim companion star called Nemesis would approach our Sun at 26…
In the past, we have reported on many recent discoveries that call into question the foundational theories about our sun, and all stars. For the better part of a century, institutional science has told us that stars are powered by nuclear fusion at their cores. However, on our own Sun,…
In today’s episode, we ask author Ted Holden (“Cosmos in Collision”) to explore the controversial question: Do dinosaurs pose a gravity problem? Scientists tell us that for about 165 million years on planet Earth, fantastic and often giant creatures called dinosaurs ruled our world. Of course, the largest of the…
What is a so-called neutron star? Scientists tell us that the material left over from a supernova explosion of a massive star collapses gravitationally, forming an incredibly small yet massively dense star mostly composed of tightly packed neutrons. A rotating neutron star is said to emit regular pulses of radio…
The ESA’s Rosetta mission to Comet 67P has shattered consensus theories about the origin and nature of comets. One of the most surprising discoveries was the appearance of “sand dunes” on the comet nucleus — a planetary feature that has no business on a body with insufficient atmosphere to produce…
In Part One of this presentation, physicist Wal Thornhill explored the many obstacles that institutional science and academia face in attempting to understand climate change on Earth. As Thornhill explained, no climate models can succeed that rely on outdated and unproven assumptions, such as the belief that Earth and Venus…
It’s one of the greatest controversies in modern times: the question of whether human activity is the cause of changes in Earth’s climate. Today, we are told that institutional science and academia unite in consensus that the hypothesis of manmade global warming is no longer a hypothesis, but a science…
In Part One of this presentation, Thunderbolts contributor Andrew Hall explored the role of electrical discharges in Earthly volcanism. Hall compared the physical characteristics of volcanic fields, called the Maars of Pinacate, with strikingly similar features on the Moon, and found in both evidence for high-energy electrical discharges. In this…
