Does Science Admit When it’s Wrong?

The two most recent Thunderblog articles, by Wal Thornhill and Dr. Jeremy Dunning-Davies, are epic meditations on the current state of cosmology and the future of science. Many who have followed the efforts of the Thunderbolts Project share a sense that we are truly approaching a “tipping point,” where the evidentiary case for the electric ...

Thoughts on ‘The Future of Theoretical Physics and Cosmology’

Recently there seems to have been increased activity on the internet amongst supporters of the general ideas of plasma cosmology and the electric universe discussing ways and means of furthering the claims of these two areas – two areas which are, incidentally, irrevocably interconnected. From reading much of the discussion ...
Science’s Looming ‘Tipping Point’

Science’s Looming ‘Tipping Point’

It is essential in these exuberant times to pay critical attention to both the observational constraints and to the basic mathematical laws, with a clear sense of what is solid theory and what is only unsupported speculation. This seeming platitude is offered here without jest, because at the present time ...

Update – Dark Matter Recreations

UPDATE: April 22, 2012 Dark Matter ‘Missing,’ but Will Astronomers See the Light? On April 18, 2012, the European Southern Observatory issued a science release that has received international media attention, and has far reaching implications for the future of astronomy and the space sciences. The release discusses a recent ...

Plasma Cosmology Demands Proper Consideration

[Guest contributor Jeremy Dunning-Davies offers a new perspective on the recent Voyager 1 data and the latest all-sky survey.] Thoughts Occasioned by Two Recent Announcements Jeremy Dunning-Davies Department of Physics, University of Hull, England. Abstract Fairly recently, two announcements concerning astrophysical observations appeared. The first from NASA mentioned the fact that the ...

Article 17 : Implications of the electrical explanation of mass and gravity – Part 2

A NEW PARADIGM OF SCIENTIFIC THOUGHT - THE ELECTRIC UNIVERSE (A VIEW FROM THE CAYMAN ISLANDS) by Bishop Nicholas Sykes In their book The Electric Universe by Wallace Thornhill and David Talbott (pub by Mikamar Publishing), the authors state: "The electric universe is a hypothesis, a new way of interpreting ...

Article 16 : Implications of the electrical explanation of mass and gravity – Part 1

A NEW PARADIGM OF SCIENTIFIC THOUGHT - THE ELECTRIC UNIVERSE (A VIEW FROM THE CAYMAN ISLANDS) by Bishop Nicholas Sykes In Article 15 the electrical explanation of mass was touched on. This explanation constitutes a call upon us to begin to discard our old hazy notions of mass as an ...

Article 15 : Pointers towards explaining mass and gravity electrically

A NEW PARADIGM OF SCIENTIFIC THOUGHT - THE ELECTRIC UNIVERSE (A VIEW FROM THE CAYMAN ISLANDS) by Bishop Nicholas Sykes We have already alluded to how evident it is that the inertia of a body, in other words its resistance to changing its state of motion, must have an electrical ...

Article 14 : Solving the mystery of mass

A NEW PARADIGM OF SCIENTIFIC THOUGHT - THE ELECTRIC UNIVERSE (A VIEW FROM THE CAYMAN ISLANDS) By Bishop Nicholas Sykes The Electric Universe paradigm affects far more than cosmology, which is where we have started in this series of articles. I now intend in the next part of the series ...

Article 13 : Black Holes and the Oort Cloud

A NEW PARADIGM OF SCIENTIFIC THOUGHT - THE ELECTRIC UNIVERSE (A VIEW FROM THE CAYMAN ISLANDS) by Bishop Nicholas Sykes I intend this year to move toward what the Electric Universe paradigm does to our concepts of mass and gravity. In other words we shall move away from cosmology somewhat ...

Article 12 : Are some ideas in today’s science ready for retirement? – Part 3

A NEW PARADIGM OF SCIENTIFIC THOUGHT - THE ELECTRIC UNIVERSE (A VIEW FROM THE CAYMAN ISLANDS) by Bishop Nicholas Sykes In the last article an alternative explanation was offered for the observations that have led cosmologists to propose the existence of “Dark Matter”. In this article we hope to critique ...

A Cautionary Tale

The Red-Faced Hunters When Paleolithic hunters left their caves on the mountainside to chase the Paleolithic hamburgers across the plain (this was before the McPaleoBurger franchises), the Paleolithic astronomers on top of the mountain noticed this correlation: The farther away the hunters ran, the smaller and fainter they appeared. By ...

Article 11 : Are some ideas in today’s science ready for retirement? – Part 2

A NEW PARADIGM OF SCIENTIFIC THOUGHT - THE ELECTRIC UNIVERSE (A VIEW FROM THE CAYMAN ISLANDS) by Rev Nicholas Sykes “Dark Matter” and “Dark Energy” are concepts only a few decades old. They are seen to be mathematically necessary in a Gravitational Universe. This is because the model of the ...

Article 10 : Are some ideas in today’s science ready for retirement? – Part 1

A NEW PARADIGM OF SCIENTIFIC THOUGHT - THE ELECTRIC UNIVERSE (A VIEW FROM THE CAYMAN ISLANDS) by Rev Nicholas Sykes  In previous articles I have pointed to certain ideas which, having gained currency and respectability in current physics, are now severely challenged by new perspectives. Here are additional points about ...
