A sound cosmology for the 21st century
Enceladus, comets and electric moons
“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…
Enceladus’ Cometary Plumes
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…
More on Mercury’s Mysteries
“[Those] who have an excessive faith in their theories or in their ideas are not only poorly disposed to make discoveries, but they also make very poor observations.” —Claude Bernard (1813-78) French physiologist, 1865. MESSENGER flew 200 kilometres above Mercury’s surface on 14 January at a speed of 6 kilometres per second relative to the…
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…
Astronomical Myths of Mercury & the Sun
The Messenger spacecraft has its inaugural fly-by of the planet Mercury today. Once again we hear the mantra that it will answer the solar system’s big questions. Once again it will fail to do so because our modern myths of astronomy and solar system history prevent insight and understanding. In a New Scientist cover story,…
2008 – Year of the ELECTRIC UNIVERSE®
The pause in news from this website is ended. I declare 2008 the International Year of the ELECTRIC UNIVERSE®. More on that later… “A first rate theory predicts A second rate theory forbids And a third rate theory explains after the fact.” —The Russian crystallographer, Alexander I. Kitaigorodskii. Karl Popper listed two other criteria of…
Io and the ELECTRIC UNIVERSE®
The book is now available from Mikamar Publishing. “Compelling, highly readable, and superbly illustrated, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to what will surely be the beginnings of a scientific revolution in the years ahead. The ELECTRIC UNIVERSE® understanding eliminates the need for the highly imaginative, sensational yet logic-breaking constructs of black holes, dark matter…
The Astrophysical Crisis at Red Square
“The history of science shows that the progress of science has constantly been hampered by the tyrannical influence of certain conceptions that finally come to be considered as dogma. For this reason, it is proper to submit periodically to a very searching examination, principles that we have come to assume without discussion.” —Louis de Broglie,…
Global Warming in a Climate of Ignorance
“As for the promised control of nature, it is in rout before nature unleashed.” -Jacques Barzun, Science: the glorious entertainment “Next we come to a question that everyone, scientist and non-scientist alike, must have asked at some time. What is man’s place in the Universe?” -Fred Hoyle, The Nature of the Universe Global warming has…
The Electric Sky – Interview with the author
“If you are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you. You become a crotchety old person convinced that nonsense is ruling the world. (There is, of course, much data to support you.) But every now and then, a new idea turns out to be on the mark, valid and wonderful. If…
