Wal Thornhill: Proto-Saturn & Comet Venus | Space News

In Part One of this presentation, physicist Wal Thornhill, Chief Science Advisor, The Thunderbolts Project, introduced evidence for the extraordinary, recent origins of our planetary neighbor Venus. In myth and folklore around the entire globe, Venus was remembered as the great comet, as a dragon-like serpent breathing fire about the heavens, and as a goddess…


Wal Thornhill: Electric Comets & Asteroids | EU Workshop

Enjoy Wal Thornhill’s presentation from the EU Workshop, November 14-16, 2014, Phoenix, Arizona. More than any other individual, Wal has given the EU movement its emphasis on direct observation and experiment, in contrast to today’s “modeling” of the physical world through extravagant mathematics. Wal’s six presentations provided a compendium of the things that scientifically curious…

“William Whewell, in his 1840 synthesis The Philosophy of the Inductive Sciences, was the first to speak of consilience, literally a ‘jumping together’ of knowledge by the linking together of facts and fact-based theory across disciplines to create a common groundwork of explanation.” “When we have unified enough certain knowledge, we will understand who we…

Today the Cassini spacecraft is due to swoop over the south pole of Enceladus, one of the inner moons of Saturn, at a height of 50 km (30 miles), sampling its celebrated south polar plumes. The analyzers will “sniff and taste” the plume. Information on the density, size, composition and speed of the gas and…


Comet – Asteroid Link Confirmed

“The remarkable properties of comets are not even remotely explicable by any of the numerous ad hoc assumptions of ‘modern’ comet theory.” — R A Lyttleton, FRS, Journey to the Centre of Uncertainty, Speculations in Science & Technology. Further support for the predictive power of the ELECTRIC UNIVERSE® model comes from NASA’s Stardust mission to…

“History has a way of showing that what was once acceptable is complete nonsense.” – Bono From the NASA Stardust mission website we read: “The primary goal of Stardust was to collect dust and carbon-based samples during its closest encounter with Comet Wild 2. The successful Stardust mission also brought back samples of interstellar dust,…


First Evidence of Comet Ice – What Does it Mean?

“There is more riding on this mission than may be apparent from regular news sources. At issue is the assumption of an electrically neutral universe, upon which every conventional astronomical theory rests. The story of the formation of the solar system from a cloud of gas and dust – and comets as the leftovers –…


Comet Tails of the Expected

Specific predictions were made almost four years ago on this website about the possible effects to be observed in the Deep Impact experiment. Key predictions were that there would be a flash just before impact and that the outburst accompanying the event would be more energetic than expected from a mechanical collision. These predictions were…


Comet Tempel 1’s Electrifying Impact

It is now little more than a week since the spectacular hyper-velocity meeting of Comet Tempel 1 with a copper projectile sent from Earth. Preliminary results of the Deep Impact experiment are being reported from telescopes in space and around the world. However, it may be months before a detailed assessment of the experiment is…

(I hope my readers will forgive the absence of news items for the past few months while I took a break and gave some presentations in Europe on the ELECTRIC UNIVERSE®. I did manage to keep an editorial eye on the Thunderbolts website, where my colleagues dealt very well with breaking news). This news item…
