A variety of editorial commentaries by in-house and guest contributors.
A NEW PARADIGM OF SCIENTIFIC THOUGHT – THE ELECTRIC UNIVERSE (A VIEW FROM THE CAYMAN ISLANDS) – by Rev Nicholas Sykes David Talbott points out that the Ancients spoke of the thunderbolt ruling the universe. When we transpose their conceptual language into our own, the Ancients seem to have got…
A VIEW OF THE ELECTRIC UNIVERSE FROM THE CAYMAN ISLANDS A NEW PARADIGM OF SCIENTIFIC THOUGHT – THE ELECTRIC UNIVERSE – by Rev Nicholas Sykes A concept that has gained increasing acceptance in current Physics is the idea of “magnetic reconnection”, which was referred to at the end of…
A VIEW OF THE ELECTRIC UNIVERSE FROM THE CAYMAN ISLANDS A NEW PARADIGM OF SCIENTIFIC THOUGHT – THE ELECTRIC UNIVERSE In the last article a fundamental problem with the Theory of Relativity was cited: it does not cohere adequately with another foundation theory of modern Physics, namely Quantum Mechanics. We…
A VIEW OF THE ELECTRIC UNIVERSE FROM THE CAYMAN ISLANDS A NEW PARADIGM OF SCIENTIFIC THOUGHT – THE ELECTRIC UNIVERSE In my last article there were two statements on the topic of areas of the existing mainstream paradigms of science coming under increasingly critical analysis. These are: 1. That there…
(Discovering the Electric Sun – Part 3) The Sun’s PNP Transistor The three plots below, provided by Don Scott, show the energy, electric field strength, and charge density as a function of radial distance from the Sun’s surface. Scott draws our attention to the fact that the three plots provide…
A VIEW OF THE ELECTRIC UNIVERSE FROM THE CAYMAN ISLANDS A NEW PARADIGM OF SCIENTIFIC THOUGHT – THE ELECTRIC UNIVERSE – Article 1 – by Rev Nicholas Sykes It was a great experience for me to attend a four day science conference in early July on the University of Maryland…
(Discovering the Electric Sun – Part 2) Quantification It is the general agreement between theory and observation that provides the foundation for quantification. Specialized inquiry can then test the rigor and precision of the qualitative argument with equations and numbers. In a successful test, the quantitative results will correlate…
Seems Voyager 1 has been able to supply us with more accurate data to enable new calculations of the Solar Electron Flux[1]. In the late 1970’s Ralph Juergens investigated how (or whether) the Sun could be obtaining its energy via an externally supplied flow of electrical power[2]. Now, in late…
In the twentieth century, pioneers of plasma cosmology began to identify the crucial role of electric currents in interstellar and intergalactic space. The “electric universe” hypothesis extends plasma cosmology into domains that were, at best, only partially touched by its pioneers. This paper will present a brief summary of the…
Editors Note: The Bentham Open Astronomy Journal has now published a “Special Edition” with a focus on Plasma Cosmology. A peer-reviewed journal, its goal is to publish quality papers rapidly and to make them freely available to researchers worldwide. The following article by Wallace Thornhill, chief science advisor of the…
