A variety of editorial commentaries by in-house and guest contributors.
As an Electromagnetic Compatibility Engineer, I subscribe to an email list forum for Product Safety and EMC Regulatory Compliance professionals. In 2009 there was an off-topic discussion about the electrical nature of tornados and one of the members suggesting Googling “Electric Universe.” I did so and came across The Thunderbolts…
The Electric Universe By Wal Thornhill We live in an electric world. Our cities are visible from space at night, blazing with electric lights. The electricity courses invisibly in the darkness over great distances along thin power lines. We find electricity indispensable. Nature does the same since all matter is…
Congratulations Rosetta, Shame About The Science… By Wal Thornhill Congratulations to the team responsible for the success of the Rosetta mission to comet 67 P Churyumov-Gerasimenko (henceforth 67 P). However, it’s a shame that scientists misled the engineers with their cherished story of icy comets, which resulted in an inappropriate design…
Will NASA Rewrite History? A new report from NASA’s Cassini Space Mission to Saturn may prove to be a landmark for the study of electrical phenomena in the space sciences. The article, entitled, Cassini Caught in Hyperion’s Particle Beam, describes the Cassini spacecraft being “bathed in a beam of electrons” during a…
The Rosetta Mission Predictions By David Talbott and Wallace Thornhill After a 10-year journey, Rosetta spacecraft has now reached Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. It looks like the mission is going to be a goldmine for us. Already one self evident prediction of the electric comet model has been confirmed: a spectacular, sharply ‘spark machined’ surface—just…
Electric Spin and Ballerinas By Hilton Ratcliffe There is a particular and almost magical property of matter that has a profound effect on every single thing we’ve ever come across. It’s called spin. In a sub-atomic particle, or a planet, or a star, or a galaxy, or the silken touch…
Fair Use: Now More Imperative Than Ever By David Talbott It’s often noted that the greatest force for scientific progress historically has come from innovative outsiders. And yet, for anyone seeking to explore a new possibility in the sciences today, the obstacles can be immense. Theoretical dogma too often combines…
Edward Lewis www.sciencejunk.org onyshua@gmail.com Abstract Tornadoes and ball lightning are kinds of plasmoid phenomena. Certain anomalous characteristics of tornadoes and ball lightning are described here. Their behavior is shown to be similar to the behavior of plasmoid phenomena produced by electrolysis and discharge apparatus as evidenced by certain micrometer-sized markings in…
The two most recent Thunderblog articles, by Wal Thornhill and Dr. Jeremy Dunning-Davies, are epic meditations on the current state of cosmology and the future of science. Many who have followed the efforts of the Thunderbolts Project share a sense that we are truly approaching a “tipping point,” where the evidentiary case for the electric…
Recently there seems to have been increased activity on the internet amongst supporters of the general ideas of plasma cosmology and the electric universe discussing ways and means of furthering the claims of these two areas – two areas which are, incidentally, irrevocably interconnected. From reading much of the discussion…
