Original Post July 20, 2012 Ever since 1950, ‘Velikovsky’ has been a household name, associated with a set of adventurous but highly…
Original Post July 12, 2012 El Gordo is so called because it is the biggest, brightest, and hottest pair of colliding galaxy clusters known to astronomers. Astronomers “know” that El Gordo is over 7 billion light-years from Earth. This knowledge derives from the amount by which El Gordo’s light is shifted toward…
Original Post July 11, 2012 Could wild electromagnetic activity hold the key to the madness that is war and revolution? You lie strapped to a bed as 800 Milliamps of electrical current pounds through your brain. Your depressive numbness is slowly replaced with elation. Miraculously your suicidal brain has…
Original Post July 6, 2012 What happened to the ring of dust circling TYC 8241 2652 in the constellation Centaurus? A recent press release expresses surprise and confusion about the absence of a stellar dust ring that seems to have vanished without a trace. What is most surprising to…
Original Post July 5, 2012 A recent image of the Helix Nebula in the constellation Aquarius exposes more details of its electrical structure. The new infrared image shows radial Birkeland currents (called “strands” in the press release) crossing the concentric rings and converging on the central star. (Will “strands” now replace…
Original Post July 2, 2012 Io has puzzled planetary scientists for years. Electric Universe advocates are not so mystified. “The Io close-up shows a surface that bears all of the classic features of a spark-machined surface—the flat clean crater floors and steep circular scalloped walls with sharp edges.” — Wal…
Original Post June 29, 2012 The only moon in the Solar System with an all-encompassing magnetic field continues to be a source of speculation. Over the last three decades, beginning with Pioneer 10 in 1973 and including the most recent visit by New Horizons, seven different remote observation platforms have…
Original Post June 25, 2012 Discoveries in space plasma may provide an explanation for a century-old mystery. Sir William Armstrong, an English hydraulics engineer, first observed the floating water bridge in 1893. It defied explanation and was ignored until recently. Findings in space plasma that have renewed attention to plasma’s…
Original Post June 18, 2012 Wind socks, bow shocks, shockwaves and collisions are often used to describe the phenomena that create high-frequency electromagnetic radiation in the cosmos. From gamma rays down through X-rays and extreme ultraviolet, conventional theories have relied upon gravity and acceleration as the only way for them…
