... without historical meaning, and to deny human beings any role as witnesses of epochal happenings in the history of the Earth. Charts are drawn today that show peaks of sunspots occurring when Jupiter and Saturn are in position to exercise their maximal tidal draw upon the Sun. We can wonder whether this is but a feeble grasping to reestablish the great electrical are that once shot out from the Sun to its binary partner [1 ]. It is conceivable and defensible that the suns were two, that Earth and the planets have changed their motions radically, that the atmosphere of Earth is but a ghost of an enormous electromagnetic gas tube, and that the Moon was torn from the crust ...
322. Thoth Vol III, No. 12: Aug 31, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... it is the difference between a sovereign god (Jupiter) who HURLS lightning as a weapon against chaos, and a god (Mars) who IS or PERSONIFIES the lightning-weapon itself- this "lightning" being represented in the form of an arrow, dart, sword, spear, trident, phallus, etc. Mars is the vertical, electrically active, piercing weapon in service of the sovereign power. Such a statement cannot be made about Zeus, who IS the sovereign power, allowing for not even a hint of another master. Zeus, of course, was the Greek name of the planet Jupiter. While numerous warrior-hero figures were progressively brought down to earth, or humanized ...
323. Book Shelf [Journals] [Aeon]
... nature too conservative to publicly express his convictions, and was equally cautious of his position at Göttingen to risk ridicule. Riemann spent several years on the problem, suffering severe breakdowns in his health in the process, while also attempting to keep body and soul together with gainful side employment. Along the way he assisted Wilhelm Weber with experiments in electricity, and became convinced that the forces of electricity and magnetism could be mathematically unified- a feat later achieved by James Clerk Maxwell. On June 10, 1854, Riemann gave the celebrated lecture ordered up by Gauss which has since become legendary. Riemann's metric tensors, which reintroduced Michael Faraday's earlier field concepts, contained all the necessary information ...

... the zero gravity confines of its space capsules. After considerable research and development, the Astronaut Pen was developed at a cost of about $1 million U.S . The pen worked and also enjoyed some modest success as a novelty item back here on Earth. The Soviet Union, faced with the same problem, used a pencil. Electrical force is defined as something which causes motion of electrical charge; an electrical charge is something which exerts electric force.- Arthur Eddington (1882-1944), British astronomer. The physicist's greatest tool is his wastebasket.- Albert Einstein Classical physics has been superseded by quantum theory: quantum theory is verified by experiments. Experiments must be described ...
325. Io's wandering plumes [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Dec 2000) Home | Issue Contents Io's wandering plumes Wal Thornhill, Sun, 21 May 2000 Here is a very interesting report from NASA that shows how dismally earthly models fail when applied to Io's surface. Back on the 29th October last year I wrote on my web-site about the closest ever picture of Io: "As expected in an Electric Universe, chains of circular craters show that an electric discharge has moved across the surface of Io. Such crater chains are characteristically found on cathode surfaces as the arc jumps from the neat, circular crater it has just burnt to the nearest high point - often the rim of the same crater." This statement was repeated in another ...

327. The Birth of Planets [Journals] [SIS Review]
... energy, it ejects its core. The star will be left with its outer mantle of light material and the denser core will depart, probably carrying with it a small amount of the lighter material as it passes through the mantle. The core will tend to fall back into the star, but suppose additionally that the star carries a net electric charge. The core will acquire a like charge as it departs and the resultant repulsive force could overcome the gravitational attraction to leave us with a binary system comprising the original star and a smaller, denser companion. Such a parturition process might occur repeatedly at intervals, not only from the original star, but also from the companion. ...

... story of one heaven-shattering, universally-remembered comet, an archetype in every sense of the word.- It is the thunderbolt that steers the Universe' -Heraclitus, c.500 BC LIGHTNING OF THE GODS By Wal Thornhill (walt@netinfo.com.au) [EDITOR'S NOTE: This begins a series of articles by Wal Thornhill on the electrical character of stars and planets.] Heraclitus, 2,500 years ago, was closer to the truth than modern astronomers. In years to come, people will look back on the present era with incredulity. How could we have been so blind? Why did we regard the universe as electrically sterile, when the evidence that it ...
329. A Record of Success [Journals] [Pensee]
... is no longer controversial since the discovery of Jovian radio noises (1955), terrestrial magnetosphere (1958), interplanetary magnetic field (1960), and solar plasma (1960), followed by the discovery of quasars, pulsars, and black holes. But in 1950 the claim that the universe is not a vacuum but is permeated by electric charges and magnetic fields was greeted as an inadmissible heresy. A correspondence between A. Einstein and Velikovsky (1950-1955) bears witness to this attitude in science. Einstein stressed that the scientific community's violent opposition to Velikovsky centered on this claim. Martin Gardner (In the Name of Science, 1952) classified Velikovsky with flat-earthers for inventing " ...
330. An Alternative to the Ejection of Venus from Jupiter in Velikovsky's Catastrophic Theory of the Solar System [Journals] [SIS Review]
... remote planet in the solar system, passes close by Jupiter and is deflected into an eccentric inner solar system orbit. Tidal distortion of Venus during the pass by Jupiter could have led to evaporation of icy material on Venus' surface, so giving rise to Venus' fabled comet's tail and the impression that Venus was born out of Jupiter. Electrical discharges between Jupiter and Venus might have produced a spectacular display. Problems ONE OF VELIKOVSKY'S more intriguing conclusions is that the planet Venus originated in historical times as the result of being expelled from the planet Jupiter [1 ]. The physicist who attempts an explanation for this hypothesis finds himself up against at least two basic problems. In the ...
