A variety of editorial commentaries by in-house and guest contributors.
Not If, But When: Cosmology in Crisis& The Coming Paradigm Shift, Part 2 by Dr. Ghada Chehade In the previous article, I discussed cosmology’s impact on the broader culture and briefly introduced Thomas Kuhn’s concept of paradigm shift (or scientific revolution.) In this article, I explore his notion of paradigm…
Not If, But When: Cosmology in Crisis& The Coming Paradigm Shift, Part 1 by Dr. Ghada Chehade I want to stress from the outset that my background is not in the physical or natural sciences. As a political scientist and discourse analyst, I am interested in the broader cultural impacts…
The Long Farewell to the Big Bang Model of Cosmology by Mathias Hüfner Summary: The article deals with the background to the failure of physics in the 20th century and why it is so important to work out a new physical worldview. The cosmos is to be understood as an…
The Final Chapter by Andrew Hall Eye of the Storm presents a case study for how electrical forces shaped the Colorado Plateau and its surroundings. In this tenth and final chapter, there are a few things to conclude and review in summary. What we’ve done in these chapters is reverse…
Ground Currents by Andrew Hall In the past few chapters of Eye of the Storm, we’ve looked at surface conductive discharge and the landforms it creates. Ground-to-ground, surface conductive discharges formed river channels, fractured the land with arc blast, built mountains, ripped them apart, and induced electric winds that competed…
Dragon Rules by Andrew Hall According to consensus science, ancient cultures across the planet — with no communication between them — independently and spontaneously invented dragons. Remarkably, they all invented the same physical description and modus operandi: a fire breathing serpent, origin in the sea, havoc across the land, and…
And Then Came Dragons by Andrew Hall Dragons are real, folks. This chapter may be hard to get your head around because we’ve been taught dragons are myth. But they are not figments of imagination; they come from the laws of physics. They also come from the bowels of the…
The Riddle of the Solar Wind by Mathias Hüfner In this universe, shaped by open and intercommunicating systems, we can discern countless forms of relationship and participation. Papst Franziskus Laudato si’ 2015 For the first time, a spacecraft is on its way to fly through the atmosphere of our sun….
The Great Red Spot by Andrew Hall In Part Five of this series, we looked at “bootprint” craters and found there are cyclones raging on Jupiter right now that can explain them. Shock wave patterns in the crater rims provided confirming evidence. We also looked at California’s mountain and valley…
Large Scale Wind Structuresby Andrew Hall In previous articles, we established a link between the winds of Jupiter and landforms on Earth. In primordial times, Earth’s weather was like Jupiter’s, with raging plasma whirlwinds and segregated electric jet streams that attained supersonic speeds. Close examination of mountains and other landforms…
