The Remarkable Slowness of Light
“The more one reflects on the nature of light, matter and gravitation, the more he realizes that there are problems connected with them that are quite insoluble in terms of our current notions. But we no longer reflect intelligently on these things.” Herbert Dingle, Science at the Cross-Roads. The following report comes from the BBC,…
Water on Mars?
Planetary scientists are busy looking for evidence of water on Mars in support of plans to send robotic and, eventually, manned missions to the red planet. Water is a key ingredient in the search for signs of extraterrestrial life. Some scientists speculate that life may have once existed on Mars because a few massive channels…
Antigravity?
According to the physicist, Lee Smolin, cranks are just a fact of life for working physicists. “Several of us have speculated that there must be a particular psychosis that results in people believing that they have disproved relativity.” New Scientist, 12 Jan 2002, reported that Evgeny Podkletnov is a Russian émigré whose claim to have…
A Mystery Solved – Welcome to the ELECTRIC UNIVERSE®!
“We simply do not have a truly unified view of the world, one that paints an unambiguous picture of some overall scheme. …one invariably confronts a deep fissure that can be overcome only with revolutionary new ideas.” – Etienne Klein & Marc Lachièze-Rey, THE QUEST FOR UNITY – The Adventure of Physics. NASA has confirmed…
The Balloon goes up over lightning!
In August 2001 a high-altitude balloon was sent aloft to ride far above the great storms of the mid-west USA. Researchers had sent the balloon, like a Dark Rider out of Tolkien, riding into the moonless night, seeking sprites, gnomes and the ring of the elves. << Gnomes, sprites and elves stretch into space…
Charge Separation in the Mind
“The operation of removing a problem from its traditional context and placing it into a new one, looking at it through glasses of a different color, as it were, has always seemed to me of the very essence of the creative process. It leads not only to a revaluation of the problem itself, but often…
MARS and the GRAND CANYON
“The ultimate objective of comparative planetology, it might be said, is something like a vast computer program into which we insert a few input parameters (perhaps the initial mass, composition and angular momentum of a protoplanet and the population of neighboring objects that strike it) and then derive the complete evolution of the planet.” Carl…
Comet Borrelly rocks core scientific beliefs
[The blockquoted text in brown is from an original news story. The highlighted text is a statement of the “core beliefs” held by astronomers. The regular text is my commentary with short quotations in brown.] The above headline accompanied the news item in the Sydney Morning Herald of 9/27. Comet Borrelly has been visited by…
Solar neutrino puzzle is solved?
The ELECTRIC UNIVERSE® model has made some capital from the fact that the key evidence for a nuclear engine in the Sun, the neutrino count, failed to live up to expectations. In Physics World, July 2001, [see http://physicsweb.org/article/world/14/7/10 ] an article appeared that asserted that the solar neutrino puzzle is now solved and that it…
