It’s said that our universe is filled with billions of galaxies. But how far away are they? Astronomers calculate galaxies’ distances by measuring their redshift. The most redshifted galaxies are said to be the most ancient and remote. But recently astronomers using the Hubble Telescope have observed galaxies that are…
Here we continue the discussion of the Voyager 1 spacecraft’s astonishing discoveries at the boundary of the heliosphere, revealing more surprises about the Sun’s magnetic field. Do charged particles from the Sun carry the Sun’s magnetic field out to remote regions as present solar theory claims?
The NASA spacecraft Voyager 1 has provided scientists on earth with a series of theory-shattering surprises. The probes Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are now exploring the outer boundary of the Sun’s domain, called the heliosphere. What the probes have encountered are not what the astronomers expected. Through a series…
At the 20th annual meeting of the Natural Philosophy Alliance, Australian physicist Wallace Thornhill recounted his personal odyssey, starting with inspiration from Immanuel Velikovsky and culminating in an interdisciplinary perspective on the “Electric Universe.” Also at this meeting, Wal received the distinguished Sagnac Award for his lifelong contribution to science….
Is it possible that the foundational assumptions of the theoretical sciences all express a common misunderstanding? From cosmology, the “queen of the sciences,” a core dogma of the 20th century filtered down through every discipline, constraining our ideas about galaxy and star formation and ultimately (from the same underlying assumptions)…
Dr. Gerald Pollack talks about the Fourth Phase of Water, which is also the title of his newly released book. Other Electric Universe presentations at the NPA20 conference included Wallace Thornhill’s talk “The Interdisciplinary Story of the Electric Unvierse” at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxaP91FdijU Also posted from the NPA20 conference is the talk of…
Our reporter Cameron Mercer continues his interview with Steve Smith, managing editor of the Thunderbolts Picture of the Day. The Earth-Sun connection, as part of the electrified heliosphere, makes clear that the Sun will never be properly understood apart from the electric currents through which planets and their satellites continually…
For many decades few scientists have challenged the standard model of the Sun. But in truth countless unresolved mysteries of the Sun continue to haunt scientists. Is the Electric Universe the key to a new and better understanding of our local star? This interview provides a general introduction to the…
The astronomers studying the atmosphere of Venus are facing a new mystery. The Venusian winds have been steadily accelerating for the last 6 years. Scientists monitoring the Venus Express orbiter since 2006 noted the stunning increase in the already super fast winds, from 186 mph to 249 mph. The astronomers…
We believe that this critical review of textbook comet theory can have a major impact on human understanding of these remarkable bodies. It can also reach well beyond the specialized science of comets to provoke a reconsideration of the Sun, planetary history, and a good deal more. We live in…
