A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
Mar 26, 2014 The Universe is said to have begun with a bang, which then became overblown. This article could almost be completed with one statement: a theory built on questionable assumptions should never be the basis for new theories. In a recent press release, astronomers declared that they…
Mar 25, 2014 The standard model and the Electric Universe model paint fundamentally different pictures of how galaxies are formed and driven. In Part One of this article, the Electric Universe theory’s proposal that magnetic fields are integral to galaxy formation was examined. A galaxy originates through the Bennett pinch…
Mar 24, 2014 A fundamental difference between the standard cosmological and Electric Universe models lies in their views about how the Universe was assembled over time. According to the standard model, some time after the Big Bang gas and dust clouds organized into stars, stellar clusters, then black holes…
Mar 21, 2014 Future manned missions to the Moon are slated to land in the polar regions because large deposits of water are thought to exist there. On January 25, 1994, NASA launched the Deep Space Program Science Experiment satellite, Clementine, with a dual mission objective: map the surface of the Moon…
Mar 20, 2014 Could fossilization be a rapid process? In the high desert atop the Colorado Plateau, titanic trees haphazardly litter the ground as if scattered by giants. Some of the chunks and splinters of the forest still harbor the beetles and larvae that left their tunnels in the…
Mar 19, 2014 Sulfur is abundant on Mars. “My hour is almost come, when I to sulphurous and tormenting flames must render up myself.” Hamlet: Act 1 Scene 5 — William Shakespeare According to the Electric Universe theory, diversity exists among the Sun’s planetary family because they were created…
Mar 18, 2014 Radial filaments within galaxies identify them as plasma phenomena. “If a man does not know what port he is steering for, no wind is favorable to him.” — Seneca The irregular galaxy M82—otherwise known as the Cigar Galaxy—forms a pair with M81, Barnard’s Galaxy in the constellation Ursa…
Mar 17, 2014 Astronomers have found a lot of misbehaving gas around an elliptical galaxy in a galaxy cluster: It’s too hot to form stars. The elliptical galaxy must be big because it’s far away—because: high redshift! The gas around it must be comparably voluminous, too. Theorists expect that…
Mar 14, 2014 Protoplanetary disks are said to be accreted around infant stars. A recent press release from the National Radio Astronomy Observatory reports the possibility that collisions between comets and a large planet might be occurring around the star, beta Pictoris. A cloud of carbon monoxide (CO) and…
Mar 13, 2014 Galactic magnetic fields were discovered more than 50 years ago. Astronomers continue to ask basic questions about galaxies: what generates their magnetic fields? What gives those fields their shape and their strength? Researchers using the latest computer simulations think they have found the answers. Cool gas…
