EU in modern cinema, Alien Skys

[Cargo]

I know that I always have my eye for the EU when watching any movie or whatnot. And the new NetFlix show Rebel Moon does something really wonderful for 'vision' of some of the things that are straight up EU. The opening scene is a moon/plant with farmers tending a field bathed in a full horizon Saturn/Jupiter system. They only have 2 seasons.

It's absolutely wonderfully done and could be inserted into Alien Sky without edit to imagine what the pre-World In Collisions earth could have been like.

Here's another one.

For Electric Universe concepts and visualizations in modern cinema, how about "San Andreas" (2015) --

• "In the aftermath of a massive earthquake in California, a rescue-chopper pilot races to save his ex-wife in Los Angeles before the complete destruction of the city, and together they make their way to San Francisco to save their daughter."

This is some high level catastrophism, yes. We have earthquakes, tsunamis, and 5 story cruise ships landing in downtown San Francisco, but more on that later.

I actually just saw it and was astonished at the side-character played by actor Paul Giamatti, a geophysics professor at CalTech. He has to be the number one reason this movie is up for Electric Universe discussion!

He and his colleague are working on a theory of earthquakes, and have set up magnetic sensors in California. Their working hypothesis is that the earthquakes can be predicted by the changes and wild variations in magnetic phenomena. As the story goes, they notice some magnetic activity in the vicinity of the great Hoover Dam, so they trek there to work out the details, and to show a successful correlation/prediction.

But alas, they did not count on a 9.5 quake. Paul Giamatti is thrown to the ground, and the first thing he does as the world falls apart around him is...he opens his laptop and LOOKS AT THE DATA!

(He is a favorite in our house as the Apartment Complex Manager in "Lady in the Water".)

The data shows that the San Andreas fault to the west of the Dam will become active. The magnetic precursors begin lighting up the entire map of California. And then the story follows the main character, a divorced father of two daughters, and rescue helicopter pilot...

In a 2010 interview, Wal Thornhill describes the Electric Universe context for both earthquake and volcanic activity on planet earth:

• "Yes they are, in fact we predicted some of these things before they were found. And ah certainly in the case of earthquakes and volcanoes, the earth itself is an electrified body, and we sort of live on it like birds perched on a high voltage wire without realizing what's going on underneath our feet.
  
  And ah so when there are electrical disturbances inside the earth you can actually have thunderbolts inside the earth, or lightning and the rumble of thunder. Well the rumble is actually the earthquake.
  
  And ah because this is an electrical event, it also involves ah, lights above the ground, all of these strange lights which have been reported. And they've just recently discovered from spacecraft, that current flows to and from the ionosphere above an area which is just about to experience an earthquake.
  
  So the possibility of earthquake prediction in the future is quite good."

Charles Chandler wrote Electric Astrophysics and derived a detailed electrical explanation of earthquakes and volcanoes at http://qdl.scs-inc.us/2ndParty/Pages/6199.html, which I partially mirrored at https://zzzzzzz.substack.com/p/electric ... he-planets. Electric Astrophysics as a whole is at http://qdl.scs-inc.us/2ndParty/Pages/6031.html, which I copied to https://zzzzzzz.substack.com/p/electric-astrophysics. Also, I occasionally add new posts at https://electricastrophysics.substack.com/archive, which includes some material by Pierre Robitaille, John Kierein and others.
