A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
Nov 16, 2011 The key to modern knowledge is the exclusion of disproof and other possibilities. From the press release (emphasis added): Data from [five instruments] were combined to create the most complete spectrum of an asteroid ever assembled. This spectrum of Lutetia was then compared with that of meteorites…
Nov 15, 2011 MESSENGER has completed 100 orbits around the planet Mercury. In the image at the top of the page, all the characteristics of an electric discharge leaping from Mercury’s surface to space can be seen. The crater walls are terraced, there is a peculiar spiral-shaped crater on the…
Nov 14, 2011 Neptune is the Solar System’s most remote planet. What drives its extraordinary winds? The winds on Jupiter average about 400 kilometers per hour, with the fastest streaming around the Great Red Spot at 635 kilometers per hour. On Saturn, wind speeds up to 1800 kilometers per hour…
Nov 11, 2011 Uranus recently erupted with a new bright region in its lower latitudes. Could electrical effects be responsible? The planet Uranus revolves around the Sun at a mean orbital radius of 2,870,990,000 kilometers, 19 times as far as the Earth. Of course, its most exotic attribute is its…
Nov 10, 2011 Victory for one theory should mean defeat for its rival. An ESO (European Southern Observatory) press releaseboasts, “Pulsating Star Mystery Solved.” Cepheid variables are stars whose rates of pulsation vary with their luminosities: the brighter the star the longer it takes to complete a cycle of variability….
Nov 08, 2011 Ev Cochrane’s recent book, On Fossil Gods and Forgotten Worlds, again presents the challenge to explain an undeniable intelligibility in a large and coherent body of data. Petroglyphs, myths, and rituals around the world are composed of the same motifs: the ladder to heaven, the great…
Nov 07, 2011 In an Electric Universe, comets are thought to be rocks moving rapidly through the Solar System’s force fields. Comets are often called “dirty snowballs” by astronomers. However, various investigative missions, such as Giotto and Deep Impact, revealed them to be blackened, cratered, and fractured. No ice…
Nov 04, 2011 A new spacecraft will orbit Jupiter for over a year. On August 5, 2011 NASA launched the Juno Mission to Jupiter. After traveling out past the orbit of Mars, the spacecraft will return for a gravity assist from Earth on October 9, 2013, and then head…
Nov 03, 2011 Was Titan born from electrical parturition? Considering the variety of Saturn’s moons, it would be difficult to identify them as members of the same family. They vary in size, chemical composition, temperature, and appearance. However, superficial appearances are often misleading when it comes to overall qualities…
Nov 02, 2011 Venus has been known by several names across the ages, invoking both passion and terror. Since 1962, 22 different missions have been sent to the planet Venus. Beginning with Mariner 2, which flew by the planet, and ending with Venus Express, Venus has had the largest…
