A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
Jan 14, 2012 Balanced rock formations are common. But how to explain balanced water? At first thought, one would not expect water to run down the hip ridge of a hill. The gravitational condition is unstable equilibrium: any deviation from the exact locus of highest points will perpetuate the deviation,…
Jan 12, 2012 Does the acceleration of gravity alone create high frequency radiation? “Greatness is a zigzag streak of lightning in the brain.” — Herbert Asquith, Prime Minister of the UK, 1908-1916 Black holes are theoretically required because velocity and gravity calculations of motions at the galactic center yield otherwise…
Jan 11, 2012 Galactic haloes are best explained using the Electric Universe theory. There are rings around planets, rings around stars, and there are rings around galactic nuclei, as demonstrated by the Hubble Space Telescope image of AM 0644-741. Although the conventional explanation for such structures is that they are…
Jan 10, 2012 Stellar explosions might not be what has commonly been assumed. On January 6, 2003 the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory Solar Mass Ejection Imager (SMEI) was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base onboard the Coriolis satellite. SMEI was designed to detect coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from the…
Jan 09, 2012 What model best fits heliospheric behavior? “How now, wit! Whither wander you?” — William Shakespeare: As You Like it, Act 1, Scene 2 Space, it is said, is a vacuum. Since the best pumped vacuum on Earth reaches a 0.1 millimeter spacing between individual atoms, while, in…
Jan 06, 2012 From galaxies to the laboratory, transverse electric currents accompany a main discharge channel. That “main discharge channel” experienced by most people comes in the form of a terrestrial lighting bolt. Slow-motion studies reveal that each flash is a complex episode. Multiple leader strokes descend from the clouds,…
Jan 05, 2012 Most nebulae exhibit the unmistakable characteristics of electrical activity. Previous Thunderbolts Picture of the Day articles have argued for an electrical interpretation of astrophysical observations, so that there is an alternative available for those who want extracurricular exploration and deeper levels. Every science journal describes nebulae like…
Jan 04, 2012 Redshift theory inhibits new research into the age and size of the Universe. Two major points in Big Bang theory are that redshift is proportional to distance and that it also indicates velocity. It is assumed that the larger an object’s redshift is the farther away it…
Jan 03, 2011 Mergers are out. Vanity is in: active galaxies are self-absorbed. For many years, the only acceptable explanation of high galactic x-ray output accompanied by high redshift was mergers of galaxies. The universe became a bumper-car arena where every presumed high-energy event was proof of a collision. Proof…
Jan 02, 2012 If redshift (z) indicates distance, then astronomers have discovered the superlative object: the most distant, the most ancient, the most luminous, the most massive. Analysis of the object’s spectrum shows that its lines have shifted toward the red by over 700% (z=7.1). The consensus opinion is that…
