A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
Jan 5, 2015 China’a lunar mission was a success. Does new data confirm the Electric Universe theory? On December 2, 2013, the China National Space Administration launched Chang’e 3, a robotic lander with an accompanying rover, on a mission to study the Moon. The lander was named after the…
Jan 3, 2015 “Our choicest plans have fallen through, our airiest castles tumbled over, because of lines we neatly drew and later neatly stumbled over.” — Piet Hein GROOKS I was checking out the dynamics describing the orbit of SOHO, the sun-watching satellite oscillating around a mathematical point in…
Jan 01, 2015 By what physical mechanism do planets and moons orbit around their larger hosts? Before Newton’s theory of gravity burst onto the scene, the so-called ‘vortex theory’ of the French philosopher René Descartes (1596-1650), first proposed in the 1630s, was much in vogue. Invoking experimental analogues in fluid…
Dec 30, 2014 The Sun influences all the planets. Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System. It is so massive, that it is greater than all the other planets and moons combined. Jupiter is 142,984 kilometers in diameter at its equator, but it rotates so fast its day…
Dec 29, 2014 Mars is probably the most intensively studied celestial body. Not even the Moon has been examined in so many ways. One of the most important questions about other planets is whether water is present in any significant amount. Since water sustains Earth’s ecology, it is presumed…
Dec 23, 2014 Electric Universe theory has never required an unseen and undetectable component. Lambda Cold Dark Matter theory (ΛCDM) gets its name from the idea that dark matter cannot be detected with any known instruments. The “lambda” indicates a dark energy component, since both are considered to be necessary…
Dec 22, 2014 The melting of the glacial ice sheets in North America, Europe and elsewhere was a stochastic process. Long periods of slow melting alternated with bursts of accelerated melting. Between the Late Glacial Maximum and the early Holocene, global sea level rose by 100 to 130…
Dec 19, 2014 On the surface, the idea that the sun could reverse its apparent direction and be seen to move from west to east might seem bizarre in the extreme, but exactly this is what several ancient traditions claim to have happened in the past. In the 5th…
Dec 18, 2014 Some stars are said to be surrounded by haloes of hot water mixed with carbon dust. Astronomers using the Herschel infrared space observatory discovered a putative cloud of hot water surrounding a giant star in the constellation Leo known as IRC+10216. They were also puzzled by the discovery of…
Dec 17, 2014 Direct statements concerning dramatic changes in the appearance of planets are few and far between in ancient sources. A classic example is a fragment from the obscure Greek astronomer Castor of Rhodes (1st century BCE), as cited by his contemporary, the Roman grammarian Marcus Terrentius Varro,…
