A variety of editorial commentaries by in-house and guest contributors.
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…
Solar Energy is Our Future by Mathias Hüfner Climate change is forcing our society to switch from fossil fuels to climate neutral fuels. Wind energy and photovoltaic will not be enough to satisfy the growing hunger for energy of an ever larger world population. As a result, nuclear energy comes…
Wind Map by Andrew Hall The face of the Earth was shaped by three primary means: volcanic eruption, lightning, and wind. It occurred in primordial storms which significantly ionized the atmosphere, charged the ground like a battery, and discharged energy between them in the same way we see today: earthquakes,…
Some storms suck and others blow…By Andrew Hall On Earth, hurricanes and typhoons are called cyclones and occur over the oceans. The cyclonic storm develops an eye in the center of rotation, where high altitude, dry air is drawn down the center. The thing to know is that the eye…
The Electric Winds of JupiterBy Andrew Hall Jupiter is our largest neighbor and generates the largest electromagnetic field in the Solar System except for the Sun. It has a thick, turbulent atmosphere with swirling storms producing winds of supersonic speed, and lightning arcs that dwarf the puny sparks we have…
The Eye of the Storm, Part 1By Andrew Hall Earth’s geology and weather is a result of capacitance in Earth’s electric circuit. Forget anything you’ve been taught about geology. It’s wrong — provably wrong — from evidence you will soon see. We are taught to associate geology with billions of…
Sputtering Canyons, Part 3 By Andrew Hall In Part 1 of the Sputtering Canyons series, we discussed Arches National Monument and evidence that it was formed by a complex sputtering discharge process. That process involved a thermal-spiking, barrier discharge in a layer of wet sandstone. In Part 2, we looked at how charge…
Turning Sound Into Light by Jimmy Mikecz What if sound didn’t only flow through matter but could produce unexpected phenomena like light? Research in sound has revealed the capacity of sound to influence matter in a way that produces light. The phenomenon of sonoluminescence (SL) is one example of this…
OP-ED: A Brief History of Unicorns The Death of Stephen Hawking U = NiC + OrN / g(0) By David Drew aka The Soupdragon The death of Stephen Hawking made headline news worldwide. Tributes poured in for the ‘inspirational’ British physicist — best known for his work with Black Holes and…
