A variety of editorial commentaries by in-house and guest contributors.
Is the Cosmos Static or Is It Expanding? On the hundred-year-old dispute over the interpretation of the redshift of galaxy spectra by Mathias Hüfner ABSTRACT: For the Standard Model of Cosmology, which sees the act of creation in a Big Bang 13.5 billion years ago, the interpretation of the redshift…
The Vortex Atom, a Forgotten Theory? by Mathias Hüfner The Thunderbolts Project is now a quarter of a century old, since the unforgotten Wal Thornhill dedicated himself to a new cosmology with his essay “Gravity vs. Plasma.” He defined it as follows: The Electric Universe Model of Cosmology is new…
Notes on the Holy Grail of Modern Physics by Mathias Hüfner While cleaning out my library, I came across the book “Three Roads to Quantum Gravity” by Lee Smolin from 2001. I read on the back cover: The Holy Grail of modern physics is the theory of “quantum gravity.” It…
The Fairy Tale of Time Dilation by Mathias Hüfner Some time ago I came across an article entitled Quasare bestätigen Zeitdehnung nach Albert Einstein. 1 Because of their strong spectral redshift, time would pass more slowly there. It was written by Andreas Müller, editor-in-chief of Sterne und Weltraum 2 and…
UFOS, Aliens, and all that… by David Drew The mainstream media have suddenly taken an interest in the UFO phenomenon…beyond ridiculing it, that is. This seems strange, so much so that some now joke: “I used to believe in aliens before the government told me they were real.” In recent…
The Mystery of Gravity by Mathias Hüfner “People are not prisoners of their fate, they are prisoners of their thoughts,” Franklin Roosevelt once said. In today’s world, where everything is increasingly leading to specialization, we no longer understand the connections in nature because we can no longer overcome the narrow…
HIT & MISS – The WHY Files and the Electric Universe by David Drew I watched the WHY FILES Electric Universe episode again recently and experienced the same mixed emotions. As much as I enjoyed it (and no publicity is bad publicity, or so they say), I was disappointed by…
LOOKING BACK TO THE FUTURE by David Drew At the beginning of the last century, it was thought an improved understanding of electromagnetism offered the best way forward for astronomy. It is easy to feel frustrated, therefore, at the pace of progress in the space sciences. Although most sciences have…
The Neutrino Legend and the Collapse of Particle Physics By Mathias Huefner Three big questions have preoccupied academic mainstream astrophysicists and particle physicists for decades: It is an idea that neutrinos could hold the key to unlocking the solutions to three central mysteries in astrophysics. Mainstream astrophysicists believe the universe…
On the History of Electrodynamics and Conclusions for the Electric Universe By Mathias Huefner These days we owe what we know about the cosmos to the electromagnetic waves that our telescopes receive from space and not to the fantasies of a modern idealistic physics that desperately tries to project its…
