Five Dimensions

May 18, 2020 Three space coordinates and one time coordinate in a five dimensional manifold? According to Einstein, and most astrophysicists who follow after him, time and space are dynamic regions under constant change. Rather than convenient conventions, or useful tools, that help to identify the locations of objects—a.k.a. their…

Moon Mass

May 13, 2020 What formed the density anomalies on the Moon? Modern astrophysicists postulate that the Moon once experienced extreme volcanic activity over a long period of time. Since it is considered “cold and dead” today, those formative events took place early in its history, billions of years ago. It…

Celestial Clouds

May 12, 2020 Dark, opaque structures are common in the Universe. The Interstellar Medium (ISM), through which the Solar System and all other star systems are moving, is mostly hydrogen and helium. Dust particles, a combination of carbon and silicates, account for about 1% of the ISM. Those particles are,…

Six Ways from Sunday

May 11, 2020 Electricity exhibits 120 degree symmetry. Previous Picture of the Day articles report that Saturn’s south pole is too hot—hotter than can be produced by the dim sunlight that it receives. The mechanistic view of Saturn fails to explain the increased temperature, while Electric Universe proponents argue that…

The Io Plasma Torus

May 7, 2020 Io’s rotation creates radiation that is 1000 times stronger than is needed to kill an unprotected human being. “Io is the same size as our moon. And should be a cold dead world. Yet our first glimpses of Io revealed it seething with heat, alive with volcanic activity…Something else…

One More Time

May 6, 2020 There was water on Mars–[click] there was water on Mars–[click] there was water on Mars…. The idea that there was once a wet Mars builds upon the philosophy of Martian exploration and the search for life on other planets. As most theories state, for life to exist,…

Life Energy

May 5, 2020 Plasma is the fourth state of matter. “Without electricity, the air would rot.”— Ralph Waldo Emerson By definition, “plasma” means that electrons are stripped from atomic nuclei, so they can move within a material. This happens because electron orbital dynamics are overcome by thermal or other energy…
