Every day, new people of greatly varied backgrounds and interests, from the curious layperson to the professional scientist, discover the Electric Universe theory. Many, if not most, describe the discovery as life-changing. In this interview, Thunderbolts contributor Tom Wilson, a technology executive with a PhD in cell biology, explains in eloquent…
Cameron Mercer, recipient of a Natural Philosophy Alliance/Electric Universe conference scholarship, recounts what this program has meant to him. The program is possible only through independent financial support. Scholarships to the upcoming Electric Universe conference, Jan 3-6, can bring vitally needed inspiration to young people entering the sciences. Please do…
In this special “Flashback” edition of Space News, we review one of the most remarkable events ever recorded on the Sun. In 2005, a CME reached Earth in just 30 minutes – that means it traveled 96 million miles at more than one-quarter the speed of light! While a NASA…
According to a new report, the latest data from the NASA space probe Voyager 1 has left scientists “without a working model for the outer solar system.” As the spacecraft reached what may be the outer boundary of the solar system, the solar wind had come to an inexplicable “standstill.” This was…
Scientists working with the VLA telescope recently discovered something very “surprising” — two bright radio spots in the globular cluster M22, which they interpret as proof of two small “black holes.” But the discovery does not fit with the expectations of black hole theorists. From http://www.nrao.edu/pr/2012/m22/: “We didn’t find what…
Astronomers today are puzzled by a star that by conventional wisdom should not exist. Scientists who have studied the star’s elemental composition discovered a stunning paradox – the star is made almost entirely of hydrogen and helium, leading astronomers to believe it is the oldest star ever observed, and the closest…
Outside of the earth, the Sun is the most heavily studied body in the solar system. Yet almost all of the Sun’s features present major quandaries for solar physicists. But now, an expert on “Design of Experiment” methodologies, Monty Childs, is heading up a project to demonstrate how an electrified…
Researchers using the Hubble telescope have spotted an “astounding” grand-design spiral galaxy – astounding, they say, because it shouldn’t exist. Based on the galaxy’s estimated age of 10.7 billion years, according to conventional theory, it should not display such complexity of form. In this presentation, we discuss whether astronomers’ methods for dating galaxies are…
In the history of comet science, the most critical moment for the electric comet model was the evening of July 4, 2005. That was when a projectile from the Deep Impact probe struck the comet Tempel 1. The result was a stunning confirmation of key predictions by Wallace Thornhill and…
Researchers working with data from the Planck satellite have detected an intense form of radiation called synchrotron radiation from the center of the Milky Way Galaxy – requiring an acceleration of charged particles to energies never imagined by textbook astronomy of the 20th century. Their conclusion: colliding particles of dark…
