A recently published scientific paper is creating a firestorm of media coverage around the world. The paper’s lead author, Daniel Whitmire, proposes that the hypothesized Planet X, a never-discovered body believed by some to exist in the outer solar system, is responsible for mass extinctions on Earth approximately every 27…
New scientific reports are providing spectacular details on the Comet Siding Spring’s close encounter with the planet Mars. According to NASA investigators, the effects of the encounter on the Martian magnetosphere were as dramatic as they were surprising. In October of 2014, the comet passed within 87,000 miles of the…
As we will reiterate in this video, the cosmos we inhabit is filled with electromagnetic principals at all scales of life. We all know what DNA is, right? Well, you’d be surprised. Not only do chromosomes conduct electrons to various effects, they also exist at a layer of reality which…
The planet Venus presents many unresolved mysteries to planetary scientists. However, equally mysterious is Venus’ extraordinary role in the world’s ancient astronomies. In this Space News episode, we explore the remarkable electrical environment of Venus today and the evidence for its dramatic impact on human history. JOIN US ON PATREON…
In 1950, it was expected that space probes would confirm existing concepts about the origin of the solar system, the atmospheres and surfaces of planets as well as the space between the planets. Instead, the subsequent reports announced “surprises,” “unexpected findings,” and things “not well understood.” Numerous examples will be…
A principle of modern cosmology is that so-called space-time is a physically real entity. In Albert Einstein’s theory of General Relativity, light will follow the so-called curvature of space time. For decades, astronomers have claimed to observe the bending of light passing around massive objects, an effect called gravitational lensing….
For the first time ever, an image has been captured of an elusive electrical phenomenon above the Earth. An astronaut aboard the International Space Station imaged a kind of electrical discharge in the upper atmosphere known as a blue jet. In this Space News, we explore why this type of…
Faraday is best known as one of the great experimentalists. Although he corresponded lucidly with James Clerk Maxwell, he was notoriously suspicious of the use of mathematics in physics. But in a couple of brief papers, Faraday took on what could be called ‘metaphysics’. The term, which came from a…
In a recent 5-part video compilation, Dr. Franklin Anariba, a specialist in electrochemistry, offered his extensive analysis of several papers from the Rosetta mission to Comet 67P. Among the findings Dr. Anariba discussed was the discovery of electric fields and fast moving electrons close to the comet nucleus, and the…
In the 20th century, institutionalized science embraced the concept of a Universe dominated by invisible forces and entities. We are told that at the core of every large galaxy is a supermassive black hole, a region which is said to have such an intense gravitational field that nothing can escape,…
