A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
August 25, 2020 The collapse of cold gas under gravitational influence is thought to be the force that shapes stars. “I’d rather learn from one bird how to sing than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance.”— e. e. cummings Astronomers think that stars are collapsed whirlpools of gas…
August 24, 2020 Stars explode for reasons not familiar to consensus science. Electric Universe advocates agree with the consensus opinions that a supernova is an exploding star. However, since stars are composed of plasma and not neutral matter, supernovae should be thought of as emergent phenomena. “Emergent” means: “arising as…
August 21, 2020 Previous Picture of the day articles take issue with the theory of dark matter. Astronomers think that an undetectable influence must exist in space, because stars on the edges of spiral galaxies revolve with the same angular velocity as stars close to their centers. Newtonian theory would…
August 20, 2020 Deep pits on Mars are not easy to explain. Previous Picture of the Day articles discuss many unusual formations on Mars. Craters, canyons, dunes and many other features do not readily correspond to contemporary theories about their evolution. Dunes that do not align with the direction of…
August 19, 2020 Gamma-rays possess the highest energy in the electromagnetic spectrum. Gamma-rays are said to be “electromagnetic particles” called photons. Since matter is believed to exist as both waves and particles, and photons are a class of particle called “bosons”, they “carry” the electromagnetic force. Modern physics believes all…
August 18, 2020 The Universe is not expanding. “After a ridiculously long time it has finally dawned on me that establishment scientists actually proceed on the belief that theories tell you what is true and not true!”— Halton Arp Astronomers think that galactic recession is occurring, because galaxies received “inflationary…
August 17, 2020 Earth’s northern lights are entrancing, but puzzling. In 1621 Pierre Gassendi called the northern curtains of light, “Aurora Borealis” after Aurora, the Roman goddess of dawn, and Boreas, the Greek name for the north wind. Earth’s magnetic field contains an electrically powered structure called a magnetotail (or…
August 14, 2020 In an Electric Universe, X-rays in galaxies are created by electric fields. If you knewwhat you will knowwhen your candlehas burnt low,it would greatlyease your plightwhile your candlestill burns bright.― Piet Hein Astronomers report “strong winds” of X-rays “blowing” out of the core of Galaxy NGC 5055….
August 13, 2020 Venus is a mysterious planet. We are disappointed if the cold-blooded scientist assures us that Man cannot exist on Mars. … We do resent a restraint on our imagination. We should like to believe in marvelous men on Venus.— Harlow Shapley Over the past 6 decades, 22…
August 12, 2020 A new mission to the Asteroid Belt. It is a commonly held belief that a large object caused the extinction of the dinosaurs when it impacted during the Jurassic Period. Earth has supposedly been hit many times by asteroids and comets, so astronomers are tracking as many…
