A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
Feb 6, 2018 More dark matter machinations. In a previous Picture of the Day article about dark matter, it was argued that it is an ad-hoc theory, created so that the current gravitational models of the Universe can be preserved, primarily the Big Bang. here is a problem underlying…
Feb 5, 2018 Are blazars close-by and not far away? Twin lobes of gamma-rays extending beyond the Milky Way’s central bulge highlighted a previous Picture of the Day. The formations, each about 65,000 light-years in diameter, are a sign that Birkeland currents form z-pinches in galactic plasmas. Electromagnetic fields…
Feb 2. 2018 Cold gas does not give birth to stars. “A very great vision is needed, and the man who has it must follow it as the eagle seeks the deepest blue of the sky.” — Crazy Horse The Eagle nebula is located in the constellation Serpens, approximately 7000 light-years…
Feb 1, 2018 Instead of tectonic activity, Venus shows signs of electric discharges. The planet Venus shows signs of a somewhat recent catastrophe: giant cracks extend for hundreds of kilometers; formations called “coronae” are accompanied by massive fracture zones, branching out like carved lightning bolts; and vast caldera with…
Jan 31, 2018 Gravity does not create gamma-rays. Gamma-rays are thought by consensus physicists to be massless, yet possessed of extreme momentum. They are “electromagnetic particles” called photons. Since matter is thought to exist as both waves and particles, and photons are a class of particle called a “boson”,…
Jan 30, 2018 Stars form at a faster rate in a starburst galaxy. Astronomers using the Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) recently announced that a distant galaxy is creating stars at an anomalous rate. So-called “starburst galaxies” contain regions where stars form at “a breakneck rate”, so fast that…
Jan 26, 2018 Planetary nebulae sometimes reveal bifurcated jets emanating from their interior stars. More often than not, those jets reveal an indication of helical shapes. Common astronomical theories propose that red giant stars expand because they “burn” most of their primordial hydrogen, and begin consuming the helium that…
Jan 25, 2018 Bright aurorae are found throughout the Solar System. Just as the system of the sun, planets and comets is put in motion by the forces of gravity, and its parts persist in their motions, so the smaller systems of bodies also seem to be set in…
Jan 24, 2018 Scientific theories-or, for that matter, theories of any kind-are “if-then” statements. If a theory is true, then certain events can be observed. If Relativity is true, then starlight passing near the sun will be bent twice as much as Newton’s theory predicts. If evolution is true,…
Jan 23, 2018 Enigmatic galactic structures. NGC 4258 is called “the weirdo galaxy” in a recent press release. Two arms of its spiral structure are not in the plane of rotation; instead, they rise from the galaxy’s core. The additional arms exist within the path of energetic particles ejected…
