A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
Sep 18, 2018 Black holes are said to “warp space”. Consensus theories state that inside of a black hole matter occupies no volume, yet retains its gravitational forces. Those forces are so great that no light can escape, so they are called “black” holes, because they are undetectable with…
Sep 17, 2018 Cold and dark. On October 15, 1997 NASA launched the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft. The six ton payload was the largest space mission ever deployed at the time, arriving at Saturn on June 30, 2004. Its name was changed twice during the mission: the Cassini Equinox Mission was a…
Sep 14, 2018 Galaxies are alive with lightning flashes. “Bring in the bottled lightning, a clean tumbler, and a corkscrew.” — Charles Dickens On Earth, a primary electric discharge channel is called a lighting bolt. In slow-motion, it is easy to see that each flash is a complex series of…
Sep 13, 2018 A captured moon? Neptune’s moons do not fit into an orderly arrangement. Nereid’s orbit takes it so far out at aphelion that it almost escapes Neptune’s gravity. Most of Neptune’s moons are not visible from Earth and there is little known about them. About half are…
Sep 12, 2018 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…
Sep 11, 2018 The Universe is not only in motion. Galactic evolution occurs because large-scale plasma discharges form coherent filaments that exhibit electrodynamic behavior. Since the Universe is an electrical system that is constantly charging and discharging, instead of a gravitational system that is constantly contracting and expanding, gravity is…
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…
Sep 6, 2018 Intense electric fields most likely create comets out of asteroids. Just before asteroid 300163 (2006 VW139) came closest to the Sun in September 2016, an image from the Hubble Space Telescope displayed a peculiar detail: it is a pair of objects 60 miles apart that are…
Sep 5, 2018 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…
Sep 4, 2018 The MAVEN Mission continues in orbit around Mars. When the gradual processes of evolution are the only ideas considered, the history of the planets is impossible to determine. In the Electric Universe view, each planet took part in several catastrophic events. The most recent of those…
