There seems to be a growing cadre of theoretical astronomers who are focused on mathematical recreations centered on dark matter without observations or data to interpret.

Sep 25, 2009 Hitched to a Star
Our fortunes are inextricably linked to the Sun’s activity. This is a principle tenet of Electric Universe theory.

Sep 14, 2009 Suddenly
Geologists say mountains were formed gradually over millions of years. Native peoples say their ancestors saw mountains form in their lifetimes. It’s a choice between speculation and hearsay.

Sep 15, 2009 Ionic Tempest
Wind is said to have created many geological formations on Mars. What kind of wind?

Sep 16, 2009 Big and Little Science
What science produces is neither universally true nor real, but is created by the observer and is relative to his predispositions and equipment. As a result, it is not complete but selected, not objective but subjective, and not unique but partial.

Sep 17, 2009 The Leo Ring
Since its serendipitous discovery in 1983, the Leo Ring has presented a number of problems for the conventional model of galaxy formation.

Sep 18, 2009 Riding the Solar Cycle
New studies are confirming the connection between Earth and the Sun.

Sep 07, 2009 Inside the Aurorae
There has been a long history of resistance to the electrical Birkeland current explanation for polar aurorae. Now there should be no doubt.

Sep 08, 2009 Clusters and Cosmological Constants
A distant cluster of galaxies is said to confirm the existence of undetectable energy. Not a single reference is made to the most powerful known force in the cosmos: electricity.

Sep 09, 2009 Solar Magnetic Polarity Reversal
The solar magnetic polarity reversal with every 11 year sunspot cycle has baffled solar physicists since its discovery. Electric current structure in the Electric Sun model provides a simple explanation.

Dust particle alignment may have a significant impact on atmospheric models.

Sep 11, 2009 Frozen Fires
The Chandra X-ray Telescope has puzzled astronomers with the discovery of abnormally high temperatures at the core of the Milky Way.

Aug 31, 2009 The Trouble with the Trifid
What is reasonable is often determined by what is familiar, traditional, consensual.

Sep 01, 2009 Carina Breakdown
The Carina Nebula can’t be seen. Natural eyesight, unaided by technological enhancements such as telescopes, doesn’t respond to the meager glow.

Sep 02, 2009 Forever Blowing Bubbles
The Hubble Space Telescope team refers to the active elliptical galaxy NGC 1275 in the nearby Perseus Cluster as a “magnetic monster” with a black hole at its core. However, the filamentary structure indicates electrical activity.

Sep 03, 2009 Noisy Space—Electric Space
A recent press release announced the measurement of background radio noise over six times what was “hoped for” based on data from a NASA-funded high altitude helium balloon.

Sep 04, 2009 Magnetic Disconnection
Problems with various theories could be resolved if mistaken identity were considered.

Aug 24, 2009 Mars Lights and Lightning
More electrical activity has been detected on the Red Planet.

Aug 25, 2009 Two Views of a Supernova
The cornerstone assumptions of conventional theories about supernovae and their remnants were set in place before space-age discoveries revealed the fault lines of data that were shifting beneath them.

Aug 26, 2009 The Planck Mission
Third try pays for all.

Aug 27, 2009 Dark Matter Hiding in the Margins
Astronomers and astrophysicists are so keen to identify cold dark matter that almost any argument is accepted in the physics journals and the popular science media without apparent critical reasoning.

Aug 28, 2009 Fingerprinting Titan
What formed these dunes that stretch for thousands of kilometers?

Aug 10, 2009 The Unwavering Truth about the Zodiacal Light
Too often, standard textbooks and dictionaries do not offer a realistic picture of what is known about a given scientific subject. As they tend to suppress anomalous evidence, the illusion of solid proven fact is then allowed to lull the minds of the critical and the curious and slow down the progress of science.

Aug 11, 2009 From Ptolemy to Dark Matter Part 2
Fundamental assumptions have an overwhelming influence on how we interpret and discuss new observations.

Aug 12, 2009 A Bubble of Obsolete Presumptions
The Bubble Nebula illustrates how revolutionary progress in theoretical understanding changes our perceptions of the universe.

The Cat’s Eye Nebula displays an abundance of plasma-discharge properties that leave standard gravity-and-hot-gas theories floundering.

Aug 14, 2009 Siriusly Red
As has often been pointed out, by definition the uniformitarian creed precludes the very real possibility of rare and radical changes in nature.

Aug 17, 2009 Happy Birthday “Radiant Matter” Plasma!
August 22, 2009 this week will mark the 130th anniversary of the identification of “radiant matter” or “plasma” as the fourth state of matter in 1879, by English scientist, Sir William Crookes, (1832-1919).

Mars has no global magnetic field, so the fortuitous discovery of an aurora event near the south pole surprised astronomers.

Aug 20, 2009 Double Layer Detonation
Rather than thermonuclear explosions, supernovae are what Hannes Alfvén called them: exploding double layers.

Aug 21, 2009 Frankenstein’s Comet: Sparks of Life?
Perhaps Dr. Frankenstein was on to something.

Aug 03, 2009 The Adler Report
Contributing editor Dr. Thomas Wilson recently drew attention to an article in the Journal of Physics A (JPA) that purported to place direct limits on the mass of earth-bound dark matter and that presented a misleading interpretation of confidence intervals.

There is an endless supply of astronomical and astrophysical reports with “surprising” findings. However, the observations fit within the Electric Universe paradigm.

Aug 05, 2009 Memories of Plasma
What do oriental carpets, craters and rilles, ancient mythology, rock art and plasma configurations have to do with each other? Along with others they are all pieces of evidence in a composite picture of catastrophe in ancient times.

Aug 06, 2009 Lightning, Sticky Tape, and Black Hole Observations – Part 2
Embarrassingly little is known about terrestrial lightning, although it strikes the Earth about 3 million times per day.
