A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
Mar 12, 2014 More information provides more support for the Electric Universe theory. The MErcury Surface Space ENvironment GEochemistry and Ranging (MESSENGER) mission has been ongoing since August 2004. The satellite is orbiting Mercury, where it is conducting observations of the torrid planet’s domain. A recent color mosaic of…
Mar 11, 2014 Many cultures recalled a period of unbearable cold, which they associated with a distant mythical age of ‘creation’, when the sun did not yet shine or fire had not yet been obtained. Such tales are hardly surprising for higher latitudes, such as the Viking sagas of…
Mar 10, 2014 Are stars born in cold clouds of gas and dust? The Herschel Space Observatory entered orbit around LaGrange point L2 in July 2009, so that its sensitive instrumentation would not repeatedly heat up and cool down, as it would have passing through Earth’s shadow. Since L2 is “gravitationally…
Mar 07, 2014 Shockwaves from exploding stars are in the news again. According to a recent press release, the Tycho supernova remnant, SN1572, is affected by a “reverse shockwave” rebounding from the leading edge of its “impact” with interstellar gas and dust. The combination of a pulse traveling outward…
Mar 06, 2014 Things may be carved in stone and still be nebulous. Petroglyphs come without captions; clues of their intended meanings are more often missing than not. Yet though certainty is rarely to be had, the quest for the meaning of rock art is as legitimate as any…
Mar 05, 2014 Ammonites look like a squid with a shell, and are now extinct. Paleontologists claim they lived between 400 million and 66 million years ago. Fossil ages are usually determined by the ages of the rock layers in which they’re embedded. What caused their mass extinction, and…
Mar 04, 2014 In the study of myth, the question of metaphors presents many a challenge. When does a ‘sun’ literally refer to the quotidian sun and when is it a metaphor for some other bright sky light? Hard-and-fast rules are risky; every tradition is best examined in its…
Mar 03, 2014 Mountain-building is a mystery. One of the tenets of Electric Universe theory is that for some reason in the relatively recent past, the Solar System was electrically energized to a level that exceeds today’s experience by many orders of magnitude. Planets and moons were engulfed by…
Feb 28, 2014 Luminous orbs are thought to be earthquake precursors. For more than a century, eye-witness accounts claim that floating spheres of light can be seen in many locations around the world. Called “ball lightning”, “globular electricity”, and “foo fighters” among other names, they are said to be…
Feb 27, 2014 The large ALMA radio telescope in Chile has discovered that “billowing columns” of “gas” are “fleeing” from gravitational forces that would snare them into new stars. The size of the Sculptor Galaxy depends on the outcome. Unless, of course, star formation is not so much a…
