A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
Aug 7, 2017 If currently fashionable theories are Ultimate Truth (or at least smart ideas) and myth was stupid superstition, where is the dividing line? Was Ptolemy stupid and Newton smart? But General Relativity is not just an improved version of Newton’s theory, it’s different: Einstein’s stretchable space-time is not…
Aug 4, 2017 Is the Universe expanding? “As a general scientific principle, it is undesirable to depend crucially on what is unobservable to explain what is observable, as happens frequently in Big Bang cosmology.” — Halton Arp Electric Universe theory states that stars are born where regions of space…
Aug 3, 2017 Electricity in space explains anomalous energy curves. Cosmologists often find it difficult to reconcile theory with observation. So-called “gamma-ray bursts” (GRB) are a case in point. GRBs were discovered first in galaxies with high redshift—some seeming to be 12 billion light-years away. If they are that…
Aug 2, 2017 Lightning-like electric discharges occur above the clouds. Capacitors accumulate and store electric charge in two conductive plates separated by a dielectric insulator. Charge on one plate attracts opposite charge to the other, creating an electric field that forms an electrical energy reserve. The electric field between plates…
Aug 1, 2017 The Sun displays electric arc behavior. The sun is new each day. — Heraclitus The Electronic Sun theory presupposes that sunspots, flares, coronal heating, and coronal mass ejections are due to changes in the Sun’s galactic electrical supply. The contention is that the Sun is powered externally,…
Jul 31, 2017 Electricity moves the Universe. “To try to write a grand cosmical drama leads necessarily to myth. To try to let knowledge substitute ignorance in increasingly larger regions of space and time is science.” — Hannes Alfvén The movement of electric charge through plasma-state material generates electromagnetic…
Jul 28, 2017 Titan could be a youthful object. The wine of youth does not always clear with advancing years; sometimes it grows turbid. — Carl Jung Planetary scientists maintain that Titan’s nitrogen and methane atmosphere must be constantly replenished, because ultraviolet light from the distant Sun dissociates gas molecules….
July 27, 2017 Since 1962, 22 different space missions have visited the planet Venus. On December 14, 1962 Mariner 2 flew by the planet, using a pair of radiometers to find that Venus is cool at the cloud tops and hot at the surface. Venus has had the largest…
Jul 26, 2017 Where do comets come from? The Nebular Hypothesis proposes that the Solar System was born when a cloud of gases and dust shrank to the point where compression started a nuclear chain reaction, giving birth to the Sun, along with an accretion disc circling its equatorial plane….
Aug 25, 2017 Picture of the Day articles argue for electrical interpretations. Every science journal describes the formation of nebulae like NGC 6960, the Veil Nebula, as due to “blowing winds” created by shock waves from exploding stars. Nebulae are often described as “star factories”, because consensus astronomers think…
