... 1997:2 (Feb 1998) Home | Issue Contents Thoth VOL I, No. 22. August 31, 1997 Remarks on Solar Jet Stream Weather I've downloaded the images and text [of the above article] to find that it offers startling confirmation of the "Electric Universe" model, which sees the Sun being powered externally by plasma currents from the galaxy. Few, if any of the features on the Sun have any right being there if it is purely an isolated nuclear source of energy. For example, if the Sun is an isolated body in space radiating away its internal energy, then it should have no "weather". If the solar wind is ...

... July 15 and were colorized to highlight details. MYSTERIES REMAIN Despite the detail â⠂ “ the photos resolve things down to 62 miles (100 kilometers)- researchers still don't know the details of how sunspots work. "It is clear that everything we see is the result of fields and the solar gas, or plasma," Kiselman explained. "The heat of the Sun tries to push through, carried by convection currents which are hindered by the magnetic fields. But exactly what happens and why these kind of structures are formed, we don't know." Sunspots are cooler and darker than the rest of the Sun. They are launch pads for ...

... 10,000 year orbit tells us that its origin was different than most first-time comets (which have 3.2 million year orbits), and therefore, we can expect it to behave differently. From this viewpoint, comets were created in discrete batches as the result of specific events in the history of the solar system. From the plasma viewpoint, the comet is probably a coherent solid body rather than a dirty snowball or a rubble pile, although it may be coated with debris and sediment, like the asteroid Eros. In fact, from the plasma viewpoint, the major difference between a comet and an asteroid is their electric potential. The eccentric orbit of comets is ...

... . 25 and 26). Based upon the above considerations, the density 10-7 kg/m3 was selected for the model. For comparison, the density of the terrestrial atmosphere at sea level is approximately 1.2 kg/m3, while at 110 km altitude it is only about 10-7 kg/m3. The density of the interplanetary plasma is of the order of 10-20 kg/m3 near the orbit of the Earth. The parameters of the gas cloud model are summarized in Table II.

Then all people will ascend in the molten metal and be purified." [93] Instability due to pinch effect in a plasma discharge column. Left and right: Progressive evolution of a plasma pinch effect. (Compare with ancient man's depictions on previous pages.) This most puzzling tradition makes perfect sense in terms of mythical symbolism: the polar axis is symbolised as a stream of molten metal and the people ascending in this axis are, once more, like ...
81. The Celestial Dynamics of "Worlds in Collision" [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of the Earth's de-spin and re-spin [22] which could be explained if we accepted electrostatic forces in gravity. Melvin Cook's theory of gravity is most sophisticated, and far from naïve. It is summarised on pages 420-426 of his book [24], and the easiest way I know of to understand it is to note a result in plasma physics which is a little obscure, but of whose validity there is no doubt. Pozwolski [25] provides the most elegant, shortest and neatest statement I know of the finding that in a plasma, under certain conditions of density and temperature, you can have negative pressure or volumetric cohesion. The result given by Pozwolski, a ...
82. The Not So Stable Sun [Journals] [Kronos]
... . The Sun's radiative lifetime will extend until the solar charge density equals that of its galactic surroundings. Juergens has noted that solar surface phenomena are consistent with the photosphere being the anode of an electrical discharge in a system where the anode surface is too small to collect the current.(46) The granular structure of the photosphere results from plasma tufts forming above the anode surface to correct the deficiency through a more intense mode of anode activity. These nodules of secondary solar plasma are detached from the solar anode itself, which lies below the photosphere. The anode tufts consisting of very luminous plasma are generated, emitting ions and collecting electrons [see Figure I]. Figure 1 ...
83. Forum [Journals] [Pensee]
... What I am getting at is that this engineering approach has not always tended to clarify basic principles, or even basic terminology. Some of the technical terms not only vary from one side of the Atlantic Ocean to the other, but they are not widely understood among scientists even on their native shores. Even such a widely used term as plasma, appropriated by pure science and assigned as the name of an entire branch of physics (and thence widely applied in astrophysics), has in the process acquired a subtly different meaning from that intended by its coiner (Langmuir). The result is that a neophyte must read and reread engineering documents- or at least this neophyte had to ...
84. Ladder to Heaven [Journals] [Aeon]
... in form. At the same time, a cloud of ethereal material became spread out between Mars and Earth, thereby giving rise to the appearance of a fiery pillar spanning the heavens. The luminous pillar associated with the polar configuration was a dynamic phenomenon, alternately presenting evolving phases or forms, an apparent signature of a plasma-generated structure, where plasmas are defined as "quasi-neutral assemblies of charged particles." [92] Familiar examples of plasma include the solar wind, lightning, and auroras, the latter produced when the solar plasma filters through Earth's atmosphere, interacting with, and exciting, the molecules in Earth's upper atmosphere. [93] While, during one particularly memorable phase ...
85. Thundergods and Thunderbolts [Journals] [Aeon]
... bring about the thunderstorm and its attendant visual and auditory phenomena. It is our opinion that such views are so wide off the mark as to be virtually worthless as a basis for understanding ancient myth and religion. In what follows we hope to offer a new interpretation of the thundergod as a visible planetary power. Aided by new discoveries in plasma physics, particularly as elucidated and reconstructed by Wallace Thornhill and Anthony Peratt, the curious mythology associated with the omnipresent thundergod suddenly begins to unravel, revealing a fascinating tale of interplanetary thunderbolts and apocalyptic cataclysm. It would be impossible to do justice to the vast body of traditions surrounding the thundergod and his weapon in an article-format, and thus ...
86. Thoth Vol VI, No 2: March 15, 2002 [Journals] [Thoth]
... the Cambridge, U.K ., Conference of the Society for Interdisciplinary Studies* I presented a paper about the planet Venus that dealt with reports of lightning. I said "The principal difficulty in understanding the origin of lightning is likely to be the assumption that the Earth and Venus are closed electrical systems with no input from the solar plasma environment via the magnetosphere." There has been one crucial name missing from the earlier list of Nobel Prize winners. Kristian Olaf Bernhard Birkeland (1867-1917) was the founder of experimental astrophysics. Note the crucial adjective "experimental" as distinct from modern theoretical astrophysics. He studied under Poincaré and Hertz and was a professor at Oslo University ...
87. Electric Universe Predictions for Space Probe [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... attempt will be made to return a sample to Earth in 2010. Wal Thornhill replies: I predict that unless NASA has begun to take notice of The Electric Universe before they perform this comet caper, they will be in for some nasty surprises. To begin with, it will be an interesting exercise to orbit an object that is firing plasma beams and modifying its apparent gravity in the process. Any object that tries to land on it will need lightning arrestors fitted to equalize the voltage differences before touchdown. But a more serious problem will occur after landing. Any metal object protruding from the surface of the comet will become a prime candidate for the focus of one of the ...
88. Tethered Satellite Debacle [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... . 15. June 7, 1997 Tethered Satellite Debacle Wal Thornhill (walt@netinfo.com.au) I mentioned this at the World Conference in January as a good example of the naive view that scientists have of the Earth's environment. The current dogma is that the Earth's magnetosphere is created by the Earth's intrinsic magnetic field and traps plasma to form a buffer against the buffeting of the solar wind. However, I believe that Ralph Juergens, Earl Milton and others are correct when they attribute electric charge to the planets and the Sun. With this single, simple assumption, backed up by myriad observations, the Earth's magnetosphere is plainly a PLASMASPHERE, which is formed to ...
89. Thoth Vol III, No. 9: June 15, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... [Seeing Red, p. 105]. Arp's discoveries are the most important in astronomy since the invention of the telescope. He has developed a map of the visible universe that makes good sense and shows once again the penchant for Nature to repeat patterns. This is a feature also of the Electric Universe model, where electrical discharges in plasma exhibit an organizing principle that shapes galaxies. When combined with the plasma focus phenomenon we have an explanation for active galactic nuclei and the birth of quasars. Quantised galactic and stellar redshift is simply explained by Sansbury's new classical physics model of gravity as a near instantaneous electrostatic dipolar force. In fact, it would have been embarrassing if quantum ...

Non-velocity Redshifts Thoth Vol IV, No. 14 Sep 30, 2000 Mel's question for Anthony Peratt at the September Seminar, "Our Violent Solar System" was the one all of us were yearning to ask. "Can you get a redshift from plasma?" Anthony answered by displaying the following article on his Web Pages: http://public.lanl.gov/alp/plasma/redshifts.html Redshifts: The Wolf Effect and Gravitational Redshifts Spectral lines can be redshifted toward longer wavelengths or blueshifted toward shorter ones. The Doppler effect explains how these shifts occur because of ...

... Gupta is concerned with "widespread misappropriation of the language of mathematics in the social and biological sciences", but in the 21st Century, his accusation applies as well to the physical sciences, including astronomy. By ignoring- first from ignorance, then in defense of an outmoded electrically neutral model- the fact that the universe is 99% plasma, astronomy has misappropriated the language of math to explain galactic dynamics, star and planet formation. Most of the math of astronomy is based entirely on gravitation theory, at the expense of understanding plasma interactions. Change is coming fast. Plasma cosmology is now accepted as a discipline in physics. Mainstream astronomers have moved through "electricity can't ...

... From: SIS Internet Digest 1999:1 (Apr 1999) Home | Issue Contents NASA on Galileo's current mission By Wal Thornhill VOL II, No. 19. Nov 30, 1998 NASA on Galileo's current mission: "The plasma sheet, which lies along Jupiter's magnetic equator, is an area that exhibits a high concentration of plasma, or ionized gases. This allows relatively strong electrical currents to flow, and creates dynamic interactions between the plasma and Jupiter's magnetic field." Wal Thornhill comments: Pay particular note to the last sentence where the usual suspect, the planet's magnetic field, is held responsible for any electrical effects and we can therefore ignore the possibility that Jupiter ...

... Murphree Award of the American Chemical Society in 1963 and the Chemical Pioneer Award of the American Institute of Chemists in 1973. As well as his professorship, Dr. Cook was also Director at the Institute of Metals and Explosives Research and made important scientific contributions in the fields of flotation, adsorption of gases on solids, universal gravitation and detonation-generated plasma. He had over 200 scientific articles published in leading journals and wrote 6 books, including classics on explosives: The Science of High Explosives, American Chemical Society Monograph No. 139, and The Science of Industrial Explosives. He patented over 100 inventions and served as expert witness in numerous cases involving accidental explosions. Dr Cook was also ...

... will have stripped away its superficial blanket of negative charge. No longer does its surface potential match that of its surroundings, yet its internal (radial) polarization produces an external electric field, just as polarization in an electret made of wax exhibits an external field here on earth. A space-charge sheath will begin to form to shield the interplanetary plasma from the comet's alien field. As the comet races toward the sun, its sheath takes the form of a long tail stretching away from the sun. This happens, not because the electrified sun repels the tail material, but because voltage differences between the comet and the interplanetary plasma vary sharply with direction, and because sheath thicknesses are ...

A holistic approach to the Electric Universe is (a ) Hierarchical (b ) the source of the electric power is currently beyond detectors (c ) is a common simple electric model (d ) Stars are not isolated in their environment (e ) Weather systems on stars and planets have an electrical input. Space plasma can be neutral or charged, and have electric currents and magnetic fields. They form filaments that radiate energy. Kristian Birkeland placed a magnetised sphere representing the Earth (a "terrella") inside a vacuum chamber and directed electrons moving towards it, and saw that they were steered by the magnetic field in the vicinity of the terrella's ...

98. Thorium Enrichment in Crater Rims: Earth and Moon [Journals] [Aeon]
... electric discharge machining, (EDM), might be worth investigating, especially in light of the Aboriginal legends concerning the rainbow snake which emerged from the ground to form the Wolfe Creek Crater. [10] This is especially of interest since this is a motif associated globally with celestial thunderbolts. Can the chemical composition of solids be changed by plasma? Yes, in several ways. EDM can deposit or peel away layers of material in defiance of gravity. This is because gravity is no obstacle to the much stronger force of electricity. The process of electrically removing or depositing layers is widely used in manufacturing. Harold Tresman has suggested that this process can seen on a much larger ...

... recorded in art and myth actually were seen in the sky. In that article I showed many of these forms and suggested that their appearance implied the presence of unusual amounts of electromagnetic forces near to the earth. In this presentation, I'll concentrate on one particular configuration. But first some background. In my article I noted that concentrations of plasma may occasionally erupt from the terrestrial magnetotail, eruptions seemingly occurring during periods of excess solar activity. These eruptions produce bundles of plasma or plasmoids that are nested into their own magnetic fields. Cyril Marystone in his The Origins of Comets in Planet Magnetotail (1983, Private Publication) has suggested that in the past these plasmoids appeared in the ...

... of electricity is crucial, and I must confess that I did not realize the full import of electricity until the meeting with Wal Thornhill late in 1996. For thirty days, Wal camped out in my office helping us prepare for the January' 1997 world conference. During that time he convinced me that the celestial images I had reconstructed were plasma discharge phenomena. This revelation proved to be a critical turn in the historical investigation. For many years I had insisted that electromagnetism would have to be considered if we were to account for the remembered dynamics of the ancient Saturnian system. From the beginning I was convinced (following Velikovsky's lead) that lightning bolts had passed between planets. ...
