A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
Nov 4, 2015 Immanuel Velikovsky was a man who still causes incredible controversy. In the 1950s, Immanuel Velikovsky wrote a book called, “Worlds in Collision”, which, as its main theme, illuminated cataclysmic destruction on Earth by planets and comets in the Solar System. He believed mythology and legend should…
Nov 3, 2015 Another moon with unmistakable signs of electric discharge impacts. The moon Ariel is pockmarked with craters ranging from five to ten kilometers across—almost undetectable in the image above—however, a few craters measuring 20-30 kilometers across are visible. The crater dimensions might seem small, but considering Ariel’s equatorial…
Nov 2, 2015 A star with a spot out of proportion to its size. According to a recent publication, “starspots” are seen on the surface of XX Trianguli, otherwise known as HD 12545. The puzzling aspect is that there is only one spot visible and it covers almost one-third…
Oct 30, 2015 Galaxies are threaded through with filaments. The Herschel Space Observatory was launched with the largest spaceborne mirror ever constructed: 3.5 meters in diameter. Herschel was set to orbit around LaGrange point L2 in July 2009, to protect its liquid helium-cooled infrared detectors. However, Herschel’s helium coolant…
Oct 29, 2015 Rhea bears examination in light of electrical theories. Rhea is one of Saturn’s medium-sized moons, second only in size to Titan, with a mean diameter of 1528 kilometers. The entire visible surface of Rhea is covered in craters, making it a candidate for the most heavily cratered…
Oct 28, 2015 The concept of Time is poorly understood. The notable philosopher Immanuel Kant, considered by some to be the center of modern philosophy, insists that he has given a rigorous and conclusive proof for the proposition that the world had a beginning in time, and other philosophers…
Oct 27, 2015 Easter eggs are not unique to Christendom, but find a match in the eggs painted by ancient Zoroastrians and modern Persians on occasion of Nowruz – the beginning of the new year, celebrated on the spring equinox. For the student of ancient religions they are a bit…
Oct 26, 2015 1500 years ago a pungent world plague nearly exterminated the human race! Thomas Short wrote: “from 562 A.D. a plague raged for 52 years the like of which has never been seen before or since!” Conventional wisdom maintains this worldwide plague began in Ethiopia and was…
Oct 23, 2015 Flying through a vapor plume from an ice moon. The Cassini spacecraft is preparing to fly by Saturn’s moon Enceladus on October 28, 2015 when it will pass though the mysterious plume of gas and water vapor erupting from the moon’s south polar region. At that…
Oct 22, 2015 In 1742, the French natural philosopher John Theophilus Desaguliers (1683-1744) formulated some of the first generalisations regarding the electrification of air. That – as well as Halley’s work, presumably, although he did not cite it – inspired Pontoppidan, writing in 1755, to propound an electric nature…
