... would have been the cause the electrical effects seen through the Saturn system (as comets are similarly affected on approaching the Sun). How would the Earth have survived outside the Solar System? Saturn would have been a brown dwarf, one of the most common objects in the Universe. There was even suggestion that co-linear systems are formed by plasma currents (Birkeland currents) as exemplified by Herbig-Haro objects, some of which "consist of highly linear chains or jets", and the accretion of material in a plasma Z-pinch, where "Most models of young stars and their immediate environments incorporate magnetic fields. Magnetic fields in the collapsing, rotating cloud core are advected with the accretion ...

... HR diagram toward the left. In so doing we are moving in the direction of increasing current density at the star's surface. RED AND BROWN DWARFS: The first region on the lower right of the diagram is where the current density has such a low value that double layers (DLs) (photospheric granules) are not needed by the plasma surrounding the (anode) star. This is the region of the brown and red "dwarfs" and giant gas planets. The plasma that constitutes the star is in its "normal glow" range - or perhaps, in the case of a large gas planet, the "dark current" range. As we progress leftward and ...

... Thornhill responds: there is a photograph on the wall of the high voltage lab in Melbourne where some of the experiments appearing on my CD were videotaped. It is a photograph of ball lightning. Dr C E R Bruce of the Electrical research Association was of the opinion that ball lightning was formed at severe kinks in a lightning channel. Plasma physicists are aware that plasma does the counter-intuitive thing at sharp bends in a magnetic field and will actually leave the usual path along the field lines and veer off in the opposite direction. It is at those points that a knot of hot ionized gas (or plasmoid) seems to be formed. Ball lightning seems to be a self-contained ...

... have the Global Surveyor providing high-resolution images of planet-wide scarring on Mars, including the colossal Valles Marineris showing all of the markers predicted by the electrical model of a discharge scar; the Soho satellite inspiring one report after another on the "mysterious" electrical forces of the Sun; while also confirming the "impossible" filamentary structure of a comet-like plasma tail of Venus reaching almost to the Earth; the Galileo probe revealing the intricate network of electrical-discharge channels on Jupiter's moon Europa-and of course the imminent Valentine's Day encounter of the Near-Earth Asteroid Rendezvous Mission with the asteroid Eros. As you can imagine, NASA expects to confirm that Eros has been subjected to continuous impacts over a billion years and ...

... the Aboriginal religions. This suggests that the initiates may be protecting the meaning of the "abstract" symbols as secrets of the religion. These suggestive associates and alignments dervere more careful study and position surveys. Cosmology - Myth or science?Hannes Alfven, (Royal Inst. of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden), in IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science (ISSN 0093-3813), vol. 20, no. 6, p. 590-600. A critical examination of the history of cosmology is presented, and ideas that lay the foundation for the plasma universe are introduced. Pre-Galilean cosmologies, mathematical myths, the limitations of Newtonian theory, science and old and new myths, special relativity ...

... entirely different direction, has come to much the same conclusion; he deserves full credit for bringing the idea to light.) A turning point in tektite research was a celebrated experiment in which Chapman demonstrated that peculiar, button-like forms (flanges) commonly displayed by Australian tektites could be duplicated with remarkable precision by immersing cold glassy spheres in a plasma jet from an electric-arc device. Aerodynamicist Chapman, engaged in research on re-entry shielding for manned spacecraft, picked up on the aerodynamic implications of his accomplishment. He assumed that the physical conditions of his experiment merely simulated natural phenomena involved in tektite sculpturing, in that they provided rapid heating and high-velocity gases to shape glass melted from the leading ...
182. Vox Populi [Journals] [Aeon]
... Velikovskian style, the film lab accidentally destroyed the video. There are only about five seconds left of it. I put it on VHS. I still have the audiotape. It may, however, be in a format that is not in general use at present. Also, Fred Jueneman mentions that I had conducted the experiments re the plasma spirals at General Dynamics- "Further Comments on the Saturnian Configuration Theory." The truth is that I was working at General Dynamics when I had the reported conversation with Fred. However, I had done the plasma work at the University of Texas at Austin before joining General Dynamics. More on the Baltic Homer Victor De Mattei, ...
183. Cosmic and Terrestrial Lightning [Books] [de Grazia books]
... until the arc flashes had quite disappeared, the gaseous medium had been quite dissipated, and the Earth drifted out of its binary-locked, conjunctive orbit with Jupiter would the cosmic lightning cease to threaten the Earth with a bolt from the blue. Replacing the binary current and magnetic gas tube were two contemporary phenomena: the solar winds and the space plasma. The solar winds are not a current, but are unfocussed particle flows and blasts. They diffuse into space rather than concentrate upon the planets. Earth receives only a very small fraction of the solar radiance. The space plasma that surrounds the planets is composed of dissociated ionized atoms that generally do not assemble in electrical charges [14 ...

... ) is the displacement vector. Theoretically, H could be zero if the two right-hand terms outbalance each other completely, but this is most unlikely, especially as current density cannot be expected to be equal in all directions. Uniformly distributed currents, Alfven says, are typical of what he calls "the pseudo-plasma approach". In a real plasma, currents produce filaments or flow in thin sheets. The magnetic field around the Sun has been measured up to a solar latitude of 16 deg. north by Pioneer 11. The results were reported to confirm the existence of the current sheet.(4 ) Velikovsky's reconstruction does not depend on the validity of Juergens' solar model. ...
185. The Organization of the Solar System, Part II: A Galactic Capture Hypothesis [Journals] [Aeon]
... this contention. The tentative model we have offered, then, must be considered to have at least one unresolved problem, the presence of the Saturnian satellites. The Radiance of the Sun In our hypothesis, when the Sun captured the planets, it also accepted another package, any tides which those planets might induce and produce in the Sun's plasma. Today, nobody gives any thought to the tides which Jupiter induces in the Earth. Jupiter generates an Earth crustal tide of about .000018 inch. The Sun generates an Earth crustal tide of about 1.4 inches. The Moon generates a crustal tide averaging 3.1 inches. Practically speaking, Jupiter-induced tides are of no ...
186. Editorial [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... the 20th century. The last 25 years has brought us thousands of full colour images of our Solar System and beyond. Everywhere we look, from the pitted moons of Mars, to the scarred satellites of Saturn, catastrophism is evident. And more recently, stunning images of our Sun and dozens of galaxies, show the unmistakable features of plasmas in an "Electric Universe". Curiously, plasma images also find their way into mythological imagery (see the recent Portland conference report, Our Violent Solar System, page 23). Perhaps we are a step closer to sparking the public imagination. Bigger is better This issue of Internet Digest is 30% larger than usual, so ...

... ideal environment for life on Earth, and there were no seasons. This was the Golden Age, the end of which was Doomsday, caused by the breakup of the Earth-Saturn system. Critics of the "Saturn Theory" suggest that there is no mechanism that could circularise the planets' orbits. Annis says that Donald Scott points out that plasma physics could help here, electrical attraction and repulsion could be the answer, which become effective when their plasma sheaths overlap. Annis mentions that dinosaurs would be impossible in today's gravity, and is the subject of a talk to be given later by Ted Holden. And Red Shifts, the lynch pin" of modern cosmology which is assumed ...

... bodies appear on the upper half of the base top. On the lower half of the base top, other symbols unite in a vertical formation which resembles a Rorschach blot. Does this symbol, or apparition, represent the god Dolichenos? What forces were liberated that could create it? Figure 26, my sketch of an apparatus called a Plasma Light Machine. An electrode is located at the center of a glass sphere filled with an inert gas. The electrode serves as a source of ions attracted to the inner surface of the sphere. As they stream toward their destination, the ions emit light and illuminate their own path, which, because of deflection, has become crooked ...

... in the photosphere, ought to be observed as violent, random turbulence. Individually and collectively the known features of the solar atmosphere can only be described as anomalies from the standpoint of the accepted theory of stellar energy. II The physical structure and the thermal characteristics of the Sun's atmosphere, including every known feature from the photosphere to the interplanetary plasma, find striking analogues in the features of a glow discharge (corona) from an isolated anode. This observation, however, is of no more than passing interest unless it can be shown that the Sun's energy might, after all, be supplied from the outside. Eddington argued (5 ) that without an internal source of energy ...

... depth by Patten and Windsor. Who else has even proposed the obvious inclusion of planets as gyroscopes? Of course, planets never have had close flybys. Mr. Thornhill negates the rapid rotation of the gas giants as a result of the "big crank" proposal. He is of the opinion that deep "solid" layers beneath the plasma and gas of the Sun's exterior do not rotate as fast as the surface gasses. An external force is mentioned. If an external force is being applied, it must be shown, pointed out, and analyzed. Otherwise it is magic or wishful thinking. I believe Mr. Thornhill is suggesting that friction in the gaseous layers should ...

... , Comet Brooks II ( 1889) underwent brightening as did Biela's Comet ( 1846) and the nucleus divided while in Jupiter's realm.(22,23) The brightening is a result of the sudden charging and influx of tail material as the asteroidal comet nuclei encounter the Jovian radiation belts at high velocity, implying that velocity relative to the plasma is a factor in the charging process. With the charging process begun, the nucleus will be assured of inducing the discharge of the solar capacitor as it enters the inner solar system and therefore assures the proper development of the comet.(24) This same process helps slow comet nuclei during lunar capture and thus gives planets with large ...
192. The Polar Column: A Physical Model of Myth [Journals] [Aeon]
... of space, the central column would have tended to disintegrate and dissipate. But, since myth dictates that it soared into the heavens beyond the ken of earthbound observers, it is conjectured that a magnetohydrodynamic pinch effect kept it integral. This pinch effect is a manifestation of parallel electric currents, as found in the constriction of ionized gases or plasmas in an electric discharge tube and other rheologically distortable conductors. This effect is considered to have been a principal factor in the maintenance of the polar column's integrity, without which the constituents of the vortex would have dissipated into space. As long as a heavy current travelled through the columnar vortex between the planets, continuously replenished by the charges ...
193. The Solar System as Electrical [Books] [de Grazia books]
... observing and measuring its spectrum of => radiation. The spectrum of the photosphere shows radiation produced when the atoms, => ions, and electrons of the photosphere collide, and therefore the spectrum reflects the state of atomic collisions there. The light is emitted during the collisions. It appears that the photosphere is a region of => plasma and atoms where the motion of the material is chaotic, randomized. Collisions occur after short journeys, after short mean free paths of electrical accumulation. The electrical field is small. A high kinetic energy of collision is registered in the temperature of several thousands of degrees. Energy is transmitted with some, but not great, amounts of ...

... the universe as electrically sterile, when the evidence that it is not was staring us in the face? In answering these questions I will show how badly science suffers from paradigm paralysis. Breaking free from old paradigms allows amazing connections to be forged between disciplines presently thought to have nothing in common. Who would have thought that mythology could illuminate plasma physics and celestial dynamics and vice-versa? And this must be the hallmark of correct paradigms - no data can be ignored or discarded when searching for the truth. Every piece must fit the puzzle. Some of the results are astounding on first meeting - for example that our Sun and all stars are giant balls of lightning - but so ...
195. Vox Popvli [Journals] [Aeon]
... explain the events that marked the birth of ancient civilizations. Taken together, these writings go far in defining the origins of our ancient cultures and their religions. I recently read a book that echoed similar efforts in scientific research that was not being accepted into the mainstream. The book- The Big Bang Never Happened- describes how research in plasma physics has uncovered various anomalies in the universe, including the accepted evolution of galaxies. The Big Bang theory, however, remains a dogma of astrophysics even though it apparently lacks sufficient evidence (and this book describes why it remains so). The treatment given to plasma research sounds somewhat similar to the treatment given to the theory of ...

... in the laboratory. That is not possible for the thermonuclear model of stars where the conditions at the center of a star are not reproducible on Earth. The only requirement for stars to continue shining for long periods in an Electric Universe is for the galaxy to continually receive charge from deep space. This requirement is met by recent advances in plasma cosmology models. I believe it is confirmed by the amazing quantized redshifts of quasars discovered by the astronomer, Halton Arp. So the Sun shines by courtesy of its electrical environment in a spiral arm of the Milky Way galaxy. Its size, color and energy output are all determined by its environment. Electric current in a plasma flows ...

... , which is only one of several variants, can be said to bear a rough resemblance to the Saturnian configuration (bow as crescent, spindle as polar column, and weight as the planet Mars), it bears absolutely no likeness to the symbol of the swastika. ". .. as the field frequency and intensity was increased the plasma began to rotate. At one point, if the field was held constant, a three-armed figure appeared, seemingly radiating from the center of the plasma. Then, if the frequency were increased linearly this figure commenced to rotate at an exponential rate until it was a blur. "Of a sudden, the plasma seemed to cease rotating ...

... Standard Theory before Huygens. The investigative team did not discuss the possibility of surface etching on Titan. Electric Universe before Huygens. Electric discharge machining, or etching, is a well-known industrial process for accurate and smooth removal of surface material. At the microscopic level the surface is seen to be comprised of pits, grooves and ridges. Since plasma effects can be scaled over at least 14 orders of magnitude, the features seen under the microscope can be expected to be seen on a grand scale on planetary surfaces as a result of cosmic electrical discharges. No observed geologic activity produces a comparable effect. Basin and Channel Floors. The dark regions on Titan seem to be relatively smooth-floored ...

... it to a lower, more useful household voltage. Likewise, stellar transformers convert the lethal power of galactic cosmic rays to a more benign level of radiation conducive to life. Naturally, at this early stage, many of the ideas expressed are speculative. But I am convinced that the sun exhibits all of the complex phenomena associated with a plasma discharge. Based on the standard solar theory, Fred Hoyle wrote in Frontiers of Astronomy, 1955, p.106: "We should expect on the basis of a straightforward calculation that the Sun would end' itself in a simple and rather prosaic way; that with increasing height above the photosphere the density of the solar material would ...
