A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
Aug 20, 2018 Gas and dust in space are not heated by gravity. Picture of the Day articles note that astronomers persistently identify electromagnetic formations as gravitationally induced phenomena. For example, particles surging out from stars like the Sun are called a “wind”, instead of electric charge flow. Streams of…
Aug 17, 2018 Where did we come from? Generally, there are two competing views about how the Universe is evolving. In the first instance, the Universe was born in a Big Bang: an intrusion from another reality that provided the impetus for all matter and energy. The components of this…
Aug 16, 2018 Sunspots are declining, over all, but they continue to occur. The total sunspot number peaked in 2014, so the Sun is entering what should be a quiet phase, as discussed in a recent Picture of the Day. However, in early September 2017 the Sun erupted with…
Aug 15, 2018 Electricity is stronger than gravity. Electricity is really just organized lightning. — George Carlin Cosmic rays are ions from deep space traveling at high velocities. Most cosmic rays are single protons, followed by 5% helium nuclei, with the rest comprising all other elements in the periodic table….
Aug 14, 2018 Neutron stars do not exist. “The neutron star is simply yet another fantasy….A proton-free nucleus or ‘charge free’ atom made up of only neutrons has never been synthesized in any laboratory nor can it ever be…Lone neutrons decay into proton – electron pairs in less than…
Aug 13, 2018 Some galactic jets emit radio broadcasts. It is not the consensus opinion, but Electric Universe proponents think that galactic evolution occurs when large-scale plasma discharges form coherent, electrodynamic filaments. In that view, the Universe is an electrical system that is ever charging and discharging. Rather than gravity, electricity…
Aug 10, 2018 Jupiter dissipates so much electromagnetic energy that it could be thought of as a star. Jupiter’s magnetosphere is so powerful that it reaches beyond Saturn’s orbit, over 600 million kilometers away. Zones of extreme radiation, similar to the Van Allen radiation belts, surround the planet, except that the radiation…
Aug 9, 2018 Stars are electrical and they evolve according to the laws of plasma physics. “Every circuit which contains an inductance is intrinsically explosive. The inductive energy…can be tapped at any point of the circuit. If we try to interrupt the current…the inductance tends to supply its energy…
Aug 8, 2018 Ganymede’s electric charge means it interacts with Jupiter’s magnetosphere. Planetary scientists sent seven different science experiments to Jupiter over the last forty years, beginning with Pioneer 10 in 1973. Of all Jupiter’s moons, Ganymede is possibly the most exotic, with a mix of topography, including fractures, craters…
Aug 7, 2018 Theories about the Sun suffer from cloistered research. “When running a lab I found that one of my most important activities was to go from room to room and discuss in depth the problems which a certain scientist or a group of scientists was trying to…
