A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
March 5, 2018 Black holes are most likely electrical phenomena. Black holes are the subject of many previous Picture of the Day articles. The short story, from an Electric Universe perspective, is that black holes are a misperception. The descriptive terminology used by researchers is problematic, relying on loose…
Apr 4, 2018 Spherical clusters of stars are another example of how plasma is organized and confined into coherent formations. “The image is more than an idea. It is a vortex or cluster of fused ideas and is endowed with energy.” — Ezra Pound NGC 6093 (otherwise known as M80)…
March 03, 2018 “I’ll believe it when I see it” could be the motto of the empiricist. His not unreasonable belief is that reasonable belief in an idea should be governed by tests that give results which can be sensed. His concern is that beliefs not anchored to what…
Apr 2, 2018 Even the coldest dust radiates light. The European Space Agency launched the Herschel Space Observatory on May 14, 2009 with the largest spaceborne mirror ever constructed. Herschel was sent into orbit around LaGrange point L2 in order to protect its helium-cooled infrared detectors. Its coolant system lasted…
Mar 30, 2018 Ask anyone who has even a modest knowledge of mythology to name the Egyptian sun god and they will probably point to Ra. And why not? Is that not what we have been taught by historians and archeologists? Dwardu Cardona (1937‑2016) authored many books about comparative…
March 29, 2018 Ionic disturbances through electrically charged regolith shaped the Martian surface. Craters, canyons, dunes and many other features do not readily correspond to contemporary theories about their evolution. Dunes on Mars often do not align with prevailing winds, and do not indicate any movement after years of…
Mar 28, 2018 Earth and the Sun share an electric circuit. “Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.” — Charles Dudley Warner The Magnetospheric Multiscale satellites were launched March 12, 2015 on a mission to study Earth’s electromagnetic fields. The MMS constellation, as well as the…
Mar 26, 2018 What is light? When you’re in a boat, you see waves of water lap against the hull. If you could tie a flag to a molecule of water, you could see that molecule move up and down. When you’re at a concert, you hear waves of sound…
Mar 23, 2018 Kristian Birkeland’s work is often overlooked. Oh, it was wild and weird and wan, and ever in camp o’ nights We would watch and watch the silver dance of the mystic Northern Lights. And soft they danced from the Polar sky and swept in primrose haze; And…
March 22, 2018 Phenomena on Earth, as well as in deep space, share similar characteristics. “I have always believed that astrophysics should be the extrapolation of laboratory physics, that we must begin from the present Universe and work our way backward to progressively more remote and uncertain epochs.” —…
