The most spectacular electrical phenomena witnessed on planet Earth is lightning. A source of both fascination and fear for human beings for millennia, one might assume that in the 21st century, scientists’ understanding of lightning should be so comprehensive, little room remains for mystery. However, as with many phenomena in…
Richard Moore illustrates why the Electric Universe is a noisy universe in this re-release of his EU2015 Conference presentation from June 26, 2015. Electrical discharge events are happening all the time, over a wide range of intensities and time scales, and every such event sends a voltage spike up and…

The right brain sees no conflict between science, intuition, imagination, and reason.” — Iain McGilchrist In his 2009 book “The Master and His Emissary: The Divided…
At the 20th Annual Conference of the Natural Philosophy Alliance (NPA20), held July 2013 in College Park, Maryland USA, Australian physicist Wal Thornhill recounted his personal odyssey, starting with inspiration from Immanuel Velikovsky and culminating in an interdisciplinary perspective on the grand view of the Electric Universe Model of Cosmology….
Have you ever wondered what space smells like? Many of us expect space to be a vast, odorless void, but it turns out that may not be the case. If you guessed cosmic barbecue, you’re not far off. vFor example, here’s what someone with 13 spacewalks and 370 days in…

However in 1950, Immanuel Velikovsky published “Worlds in Collision”. He proposed that Venus entered the inner solar…
A reading of the article “Gravitational Waves” by Wal Thornhill. Narrated by David Harrison, proprietor of Stickman On Stone. The headline shrieked, “Gravitational waves have been discovered; Einstein proved right again after 100 years.” This milestone from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) was announced in February 2016. Two weeks…
During the years 800 to 1,200 AD, Greenland and Iceland were settled by the Vikings. This occurred about the same time as the Medieval Warm Period, which allowed this great migration to flourish. Greenland was settled when Erik the Red was banished from Iceland for manslaughter after a series of…
