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…
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…
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…
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,…
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…
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.
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.
Astronomers today are puzzling over the unexpected brightening of a recently discovered comet. On October 20, an observer in Japan noted that the brightness of Comet X1 LINEAR was over 100 times greater than astronomers had expected, which they explain by vaporization of ice from solar heating. But does this…
Between May and December of 2002 a remarkable event occurred in the heavens. A previously unknown star named V838 Mon brightened spectacularly–then faded–then leaped back to life. At its brightest, it was about a million times brighter than the sun. Listen to Dr. Donald Scott’s thoughts regarding this mystery. Dr….
What does it mean to say we live in a plasma universe? And why is the plasma universe an electric universe? Listen here for a brief explanation by David Talbott. This video clip is scheduled for inclusion soon in Chapter 5 of the Beginner’s Guide to the Electric Universe. Check…
