A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
Feb 10, 2017 Comets can influence solar behavior. If we can see the tails of comets fly off in the direction opposed to the Sun with an accelerated velocity, and if we believe these tails to be matter and not optical illusions or mere tracks of vibrating disturbance, then we…
Feb 9, 2017 Stars do not age according to modern ideas. “It is reasonable to hope that in the not too distant future we shall be competent to understand so simple a thing as a star.” — Arthur Eddington, Astrophysicist T Tauri stars take their name from the original…
Feb 8, 2017 A slide rule hangs on the wall of my office, a dual-base vector hyperbolic log-log slide rule. A mere 40 years ago it was a state-of-the-art calculating machine. It reminds me that technology progresses not only by incremental improvements but by extinction and speciation: My aluminum slip-stick…
Feb 7, 2017 Does electricity energize the galaxies? In the cosmos there are regions where stars range in thousand light-year lines. Elsewhere, rings of stars can be found, along with galaxies stretching in filaments for enormous distances. The Milky Way contains over 200 billion stars in its spiral arms…
Feb 6, 2017 The Sun is a charged body seeking equilibrium with its surroundings. The electric charge flow into and out of the Sun can sometimes increase to the point where it releases plasma discharges called solar flares. Conventional scientists think that solar flares occur when magnetic loops “reconnect” with…
Feb 3, 2017 Mars glows in high frequencies. NASA launched the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution mission (MAVEN) on November 18, 2013. Maven is investigating the upper atmosphere of Mars, its ionosphere, and the dynamics of solar wind interactions. Several onboard instruments are monitoring various phenomena: * Solar Wind…
Feb 2, 2017 Supernova remnants align with the Milky Way. Recently, astronomers found a connection between what they refer to as supernova remnants (SR) and the rest of the galaxy. When data from several instruments was inserted into their computerized model-maker, it was found that bipolar SRs, in particular, are…
Feb 1, 2017 What science produces is neither universally true nor real, but is created by the observer and is relative to his predispositions and equipment. As a result, it is not complete but selected, not objective but subjective, and not unique but partial. This produces an observer-created reality, says physicist…
Jan 31, 2017 Are spiral galaxies really elliptical? Dr. Anthony L. Peratt, a plasma physicist and protégé of the Nobel laureate Hannes Alfvén, studied plasma formations in the laboratory for many years, monitoring short-duration z-pinch effects, as well as creating particle-in-cell animations using the best supercomputers available. He concluded that galaxies, rather than…
Jan 30, 2017 Tethys is an electrically scarred moon. The plasmasphere of Saturn generates lightning a million times more powerful than anything on Earth. Saturn also emits twice the energy than it receives from the Sun, including 90 megawatts of X-rays. In part, Saturn’s energetic fields exist because Saturn is…
