Wal analyzes the Webb…
Shine On, You Crazy Diamond! by Andrew Hall This week I received the news of Wal Thornhill’s passing. I wish to pay tribute with this article. Wal was a mentor to us all in the most important field of all – the true nature of our universe. Wal’s many theories…
A salute to Wal Thornhill—the re-release of episode one in his three-part prediction series on the James Webb Space Telescope. Verification in the historical record of Wal’s perseverance for eventual embrace of the Electric Universe Model of Cosmology. “Soldier on.” Wallace William Thornhill May 2, 1942 – February 7, 2023…
January 7, 2013 Was the early Universe powered by “dark matter annihilation”? According to modern cosmologists, the Universe is composed primarily of dark matter. More than 95% of all that exists is unseen and undetectable by the most sensitive instruments yet devised. Many astrophysicists claim that the earliest stellar…
Original Post November 6, 2012 A galaxy-wide filament connects two galactic clusters. The Herschel Space Observatory possesses the largest mirror ever launched into space: 3.5 meters in diameter. Herschel entered orbit around LaGrange point L2 (behind Earth in relation to the Sun) in July 2009, so that its extremely…
