Remembering Halton Arp | Space News
On December 28, 2013, the acclaimed astronomer Halton Arp passed away at the age of 86 in Munich, Germany. Dr. Arp posed a challenge to the very foundation of modern cosmology; a challenge that grows only more relevant with new and astonishing discoveries in the cosmos. We present Wal Thornhill…
The Electric Comet—”Water” from Deep Impact
For context, see “The Electric Comet | Full Documentary”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34wtt2… This added segment addresses the strongest critical comment we’ve received on the documentary: we failed to mention the infrared readings of “water” in the Deep Impact ejecta. As usually happens on matters of good criticism, it proved to be invaluable,…
When Mind Games Masquerade as Physics | Space News
Physicist Wal Thornhill will give two thought-provoking presentations at EU2014 Conference: All About Evidence, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA, March 20 – 24, 2014. For more information see https://www.thunderbolts.info/wp/2013/… Here, Wal continues his discussion of the growing confusion in theoretical physics. While sensational news headlines sometimes laud definitive breakthroughs such as the…
Quantum Craziness | Space News
A new paper published by an MIT physicist claims to theoretically prove that so-called “quantum entanglement” — two particles seemingly occupying more than one state simultaneously — gives rise to a wormhole that allows particles to communicate through a “gravitational tunnel”. This theory follows from a paper published earlier this…
The “Impossible” Exoplanet | Space News
A newly discovered exoplanet poses a radical challenge to the consensus theory of planet and star formation. The massive exoplanet is eleven times the size of Jupiter yet it circles its parent star at a distance that is 650X the average distance between the Earth and the Sun. In the…
Comet ISON Mysteries Continue | Space News
In November 2013, skywatchers around the world eagerly awaited the approach of Comet ISON. Dubbed the “Comet of the Century” by several in the media, some astronomers had predicted a stupendous cometary display as Comet ISON approached its perihelion. The comet was also the subject of countless bizarre speculations. However,…
Gamma Ray Burst Stuns Astronomers | Space News
The most intense electromagnetic event known to occur in the heavens is the gamma ray burst. For many years, scientists have claimed that most gamma ray burst occur when stars run out of nuclear fuel then collapse to form a black hole, neutron star or quark star. However, a recently…
Do “Magnetic Waves” Heat the Solar Corona? | Space News
It’s one of the great mysteries of solar physics. Why is the temperature of the Sun’s Corona exponentially greater than the temperature of the Sun’s surface? For nearly 75 years, this question has haunted solar physicists, who have attempted to reconcile the anomaly with the thermonuclear model of the Sun.
Astonishing Asteroid Becomes a Comet | Space News
Astronomers working with the Hubble Space Telescope are expressing their complete bafflement over a recently observed asteroid, P2013/P5, which has astonished scientists with its unprecedented display of six cometary-like tails. Adding further surprise, the astronomers watched as the object’s tail structures dramatically changed over just 13 days.
