A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
Nov 15, 2019 Solving a puzzle can be clouded by a layer of presumptions. Scientists from the Dark Energy Survey at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory think that galaxies should have “lots” of smaller galaxies in orbit around them. In fact, they are building predictive models…
Nov 14, 2019 Neutron stars cannot exist. “The sky was clear—remarkably clear—and the twinkling of all the stars seemed to be but throbs of one body, timed by a common pulse.”—Thomas Hardy On June 13, 2012 NASA launched the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) on a mission to study X-rays…
Nov 13, 2019 NASA launched the Juno mission to Jupiter on August 5, 2011. After a five-year flight, the spacecraft entered orbit on July 4, 2016. Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System, with an equatorial diameter of 142,984 kilometers. It is so large that it could contain…
Sep 10, 2018 Black holes do not power this ring of stars. Astronomers recently discovered what they believe to be a “ring of black holes or neutron stars” in galaxy AM 0644-741, located 300 million light years away. Observations from the Chandra X-ray Observatory are said to reveal stellar-mass black…
Nov 11, 2019 Stars explode. But how? A recent press release asks, “What happens when a star explodes?” The answer, not surprisingly, is, “…the same thing that happens when gas explodes here on Earth.” The Electric Universe agrees with modern physics: a supernova is an exploding star. However, there is…
Nov 8, 2019 Is the Earth at the center of the universe after all? Or is the Expanding Universe an artifact of conceptual chromatography? Chromatography has been quite a useful invention. The high-school-science demonstration of it is to place a drop or two of ink in a beaker of water…
Nov 7, 2019 The new solar cycle is off to a slow start. Sunspots are not well understood by the mainstream (nor by Electric Universe advocates). However, it is known that magnetism is involved with sunspot activity, because gigantic loops and whorls of plasma can often be seen connecting two…
Nov 6, 2019 There are no such things as magnetic field lines in space. The Voyager 1 spacecraft encountered the Sun’s heliosheath in December 2004, followed by Voyager 2 in August 2007. It was Voyager 1 that first found fluctuations in electron density as it traveled through the heliosphere, while…
Nov 5, 2019 Rocky bodies in the Solar System display plasma effects. “Because in the beginning was the plasma.”— From Hannes Alfvén’s 1970 Nobel Prize Lecture. Astrogeologists determine asteroid composition and formation estimates based on their anomalous cratering. As written in the past, asteroids 253 Mathilde, 243 Ida, and 433…
Nov 4, 2019 Rather than stretching or collapse, the rilles and graben on the Moon could have been incised by electric discharges at some time in the recent past. Consensus theories postulate that the Moon underwent intense selenological activity early in its history. The rilles and offset slip faults, known…
