A picture and essay from the perspective of the Electric Universe.
April 19, 2018 Kristian Birkeland was called the first space scientist because of his pioneering experiments in the early 1900s. June 15th marks the 100th anniversary of his death. “It seems to be a natural consequence of our points of view to assume that the whole of space is…
Apr 18, 2018 Continental flood basalts. A wide region of central India is dominated by what geologists call “flood basalts”, because they represent what are thought to be the largest eruptions of magmas ever to occur on Earth. The Deccan Plateau consists of basalt lava more than 2000 meters…
Apr 17, 2018 Hot gravity? Astronomers have only one force in their bag of tricks: gravity. Anomalous observations, such as high temperature in galaxy clusters, “must be” caused by collisions. Shockwaves and ram pressure are invoked because it is assumed that celestial objects are pushing though a medium. It…
Apr 16, 2018 Consensus astronomers rely on ideas about gravity and acceleration for stars and galaxies to produce radiation. Particles of dust, along with hydrogen gas are said to “jet” out of galactic nuclei, because a central black hole accelerates them to high velocities. When material in a galactic jet…
Apr 13, 2018 Gravity does not bend light. Electric Universe theory paints a dubious picture about dark matter. It is an add-on, or ad hoc, theory because Big Bang cosmology is incomplete, always requiring a new prop. The Big Bang is supposed to be what brought all matter and energy,…
Apr 12, 2018 A hidden star factory. NGC 6334 (the Cat’s Paw nebula) is also known as the Bear Claw nebula. It is 50 light-years across and approximately 5500 light-years away, using redshift distance calculations. It is part of a larger nebular complex near the heart of the Milky…
Apr 11, 2018 Sunspots are poorly understood. “High noon, I can’t believe my eyes, Wind is ragin’, there’s a fire in the sky. Ground shakin’, everything comin’ loose, Run like a coward but it ain’t no use. Edge of the river, it’s an ugly scene, People gettin’ pushed, people gettin’…
Apr 10, 2018 Jupiter’s aurorae are generated by its own electromagnetic fields. There are many Pictures of the Day in the archives that discuss the planet, Jupiter—especially its electromagnetic interaction with its moons and the rest of the Solar System. Jupiter’s magnetosphere extends outward for nearly 650 million kilometers, reaching beyond Saturn’s…
Apr 9, 2018 Stellar oscillators. Stars are the foci for immense energy from the galaxies in which they live. They are electromagnetic entities, so they cannot be classified by mass, or a particular elemental constitution. They are not internally powered objects, they are bodies formed from plasma filaments squeezing…
Apr 6, 2018 Galaxies are electromagnetic. Electric Universe theory sees galactic evolution as large-scale plasma discharges that form spinning wheels composed of coherent filaments. Those galactic structures display electrodynamic behavior and are not merely gravitationally bound assemblies of isolated stars. Stars in galaxies can form along arcs like silver beads…
