... confirms that the Sun is a centre for a galactic discharge, as Juergens proposed. ' I am sure plasma physics holds the eventual answers. I recommend the book The Big Bang Never Happened by Eric Lerner, which gives some insights into the way electric currents flow in a plasma and particularly the way electrical energy may be concentrated in the ... of a plasmoid' - a doughnut shaped current ring. I believe that the planetary and stellar inner magnetospheres' are manifestations of plasmoids which are capable of driving the energetic weather systems discovered on the gas giants and recently, surprising astronomers yet again, on the Sun itself. A characteristic of plasma phenomena is the scalability from the laboratory up ...
132. Society News: SIS Autumn Conference 2000 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Wal Thornhill then gave us a stunning two-part multimedia show on The Electric Universe' which is impossible to summarise. Like Halton Arp, he does not believe in the Big Bang and various other features so beloved of present-day astronomers and astrophysicists (in fact, I remember Wal on the 1989 ISIS cruise up the Nile sporting a self-composed T-shirt ... the message on the front Black Holes exist .. . ' and on the back'... only in the minds of astronomers' ). Starting with an explanation of what plasma is (a quasi-neutral gas of charged and neutral particles that exhibits complex collective behaviour, quite unlike a fluid) and that the universe is full of ...

134. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . It is easy to confuse theoretical assumption with fact, and today this tendency often conceals a tacit belief that, despite the mistakes of previous generations, we have the big picture right and the remaining task is simply to tidy things up a bit. The actual situation in the sciences calls for openness to new possibilities. Our vision of ... graduate school until Alfvén's death in 1995, Peratt worked with the pioneer to define the frontiers of plasma cosmology, a subject highlighted in Eric Lerner's popular book, The Big Bang Never Happened. His work included unprecedented three-dimensional simulations of galaxy evolution and of other plasma structures in space. Today he is internationally recognized as an authority on plasma discharge ...
135. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... on gravity) and it requires time to be measured by atomic (i .e . caesium) clocks for detection. All this has repercussions for the steady state and big bang theories of astronomy, but, of course, depends on radioactive decay being constant. But is it? Venus, Our Puzzling Twin source: New Scientist 17 ... 6 .82, pp. 786-8 The planet Venus continues to fascinate scientists, and their thinking continues to follow the lines that Earth and Venus could have similar evolutionary histories. Eric Burgess, writing for New Scientist, is no exception but at least he is frank about the difficulties in this interpretation. There is, for a start, ...

... to modify the theory rather than discard it even when observations do not support it." Among a list of such theories which will not bear investigation is the well known Big Bang'. Robert Oldershaw also accuses these scientists of having many arbitrarily adjustable parameters', or their theories come in many slightly different versions, so as to hedge ... bets. ' He describes their strategy as the Ptolemaic method' after the Greek astronomer who accepted that the Earth was at the centre of the Universe and evolved complicated epicycles until his predictions fitted the facts. ' Oldershaw claims that there have been very few major successful predictions and "most of the fundamental discoveries in recent decades, and there ...
137. Thoth Vol III, No. 17: Dec 15, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... the Sun demands that the Sun shed a vast amount of neutrinos. To date, only about one third of the predicted amount have been detected. The theory concerning the Big Bang demands a vast amount of matter that should be there. To date, this so-called dark matter is still being looked for. These two theories should not be ... to stand, but because science is optimistic in that it will eventually detect both the missing neutrinos and the missing dark matter, they are _allowed_ to stand. Personally, I shall not use similar optimism as a crutch. .. . On the contrary, I aim to present a series of demands which this theory raises, ...
138. Natural Catastrophes During Bronze Age Civilisations [Journals] [Aeon]
... : The Implications of Impact Catastrophes on Human Thought and Behavior Gerrit Verschuur (Memphis University) Gerrit Verschuur's talk consisted of a condensed history of the Universe. Starting with the Big Bang- with frequent mentions that certain events turned out to be lucky for us (otherwise we wouldn't be here)- Verschuur came to the final conclusion that our ... in space is a precarious one. He, too, recommended we take precautions against possible future impacts from space since we appear to be in something of a lull between celestial bombardments.

Again, though, the periodicity did not fit the extinction data. [Illustration: Pluto. Sun. Oort cloud. Nemesis. Richard Muller and others ... certainly an advance on invoking the wrath of a Deity but not very much. The real trouble with this category of theory, in which dinosaurs left the stage with a bang, is that it is almost impossible with such a scenario to explain why so many other groups seemed not to have been aware of the great global commotion that was ...
