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…
This brief video is scheduled for inclusion soon in Chapter 3 of the Beginner’s Guide to the Electric Universe. Check out Chapters 1 and 2 of the Beginner’s Guide in development at: https://www.thunderbolts.info/wp/begin… Contrasting viewpoints are the fuel for progress in all human inquiry. Vive la difference! A contrast can…
Recently discovered X-ray emitting plasma arms of the Coma Galaxy Cluster, stretching almost half a million light-years, have left astronomers scratching their heads. The expected turbulence, predicted by their gravitational models, was not found.
This video clip will be included in Chapter 2 of the Beginner’s Guide to the Electric Universe, now in development.
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….
