... replaced with other observations. New mathematical techniques were developed which would have seemed nonsensical to people occupying the old viewpoints. The resulting view of the "gravity universe" was that of isolated "billiard balls" occasionally perturbing each other. This replaced the old views of a system of nested spheres or an assembly of epicycles. Now the "Electric Universe" is a different viewpoint. Notice, for example, that its definition of "plasma" is not the conventional one of "ionized gas". That latter definition jumps to the conclusion that you can understand something about plasma by falling back on what you know about ideal gasses and thermal ionization. The ideal gas law is ...
342. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... variability and its effects on Earth. Surprise, surprise, this article is exclusively an exposition of fluctuations in the Sun's electromagnetic spectrum. New Scientist gives details of the Sun's plasma and its effects on the Earth's magnetic field, on auroras, etc. These two items add up to the fact that we do, indeed, live in an electric universe. Demise of Big Bang?source: Scientific American Jan 1990, p. 19 A basic concept in astronomy is that redshifts occur as a result of the Doppler effect, whereby the light emitted by a receding object shifts towards the red end of the light spectrum. Dependent upon this concept are all the current major theories, ...
343. The Electro-gravitic Theory Of Celestial Motion [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... this time and in this place is the following: The accepted celestial mechanics, notwithstanding the many calculations that have been carried out to many decimal places, or verified by celestial motions, stands only if the Sun, the source of light, warmth, and other radiation produced by fusion and fission of atoms, is as a whole an electrically neutral body, and also if the planets, in their usual orbits, are neutral bodies. "Fundamental principles in celestial mechanics, including the law of gravitation, must come into question if the Sun possesses a charge sufficient to influence the planets in their orbits or comets in theirs. In the Newtonian celestial mechanics, based on the ...
344. Stellar Thermonuclear Energy: A False Trail? [Journals] [Kronos]
... . But this need not mean that similar results were beyond the reach of technology. With the process scaled down to manageable size, why shouldn't controlled fusion become a tool of man? The energy released in the conversion of hydrogen - so abundant in the seas of Earth - to helium - a useful and valuable element - could power the electric generators that man never seemed to have enough of. Plasma physics became the promised land where all this would come to pass. In a remarkably short time thousands of young people with advanced degrees in plasma physics and electrical engineering were streaming from campuses of higher learning, primed and eager to get on with the business of harnessing fusion energy ...
345. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of gravity and inertia still remains a fundamental problem for physicists. A recent attempt to solve the problem explains gravity as a long-range effect of zero-point electromagnetic fluctuations'. Another physicist declares that photons do not exist and some of the problems with quantum physics would disappear with his theory that the entire Universe is filled with an electromagnetic field. An electrical connection?New Scientist 11.2 .95, p. 76 and 17.9 .94, p. 76, Scientific American January 1995, p. 13 The hydrogen gas in our region of the Galaxy is apparently ionised, not so much by the 3 million stars near it, but by the influence of a single ...
346. Did Venus As A Protoplanet Ever Look Like A "Comet"? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... undergone since its eruption, the term "comet" does not seem appropriate. It is inconceivable, for example, that the body of the protoplanet would not have drawn surrounding matter closely around or onto itself; or lost other matter into space or, due also to its paramagnetic properties (at temperatures above Curie-point) to other bodies or electric fields. Thus the "errant star", to use a better term, would have offered a symmetrical image most of the time, except during a relatively short period after eruption, when moving near other bodies, perhaps in strong electric fields or, of course, while interacting with earth. Some schematic views of possible phases succeeding ...
347. The Weakness of the Venus Greenhouse Theory [Journals] [Kronos]
... estimate of 50 C as much too high; generally, Venus below the clouds was thought to be of room temperature. It was, however, discovered to be over 400 C (close to 800 F). Several futile attempts were made to explain the phenomenon: aeolian theory of great winds causing sand to rub and create heat; electrical charges of opposite polarity on the light and dark hemispheres of the planet; electrical discharges in the atmosphere; or the greenhouse effect. The last scheme involved more than a few scientists in trying to figure out how it could work. In order for the greenhouse effect to work, solar light needs to go through a transparent atmosphere, ...
348. Comparing Magnetic Fields: Neptune and Uranus [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... analysis which explains the magnetic fields of the other two planets. Another example of dynamo theoretical rationalization by its supporters has to do with the orientation of the magnetic poles of a planet. Since the molten metallic core of the planet must rotate with the planet because of friction, it requires that the magnetic orientation of the poles- like those in electric generators- should also be aligned with the geographic (or rotation) poles, or located near the geographic poles. This was one of the major supports of the dynamo theory. Hoimar von Ditfurth explains why this alignment concept favors the dynamo concept: From the physicists point of view, the dynamo theory displays a high degree of internal consistency ...
349. Making Sense of Astronomy and Geology by Dirk Bontes (Book Review). C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... eC, neutron star and matter jets - does not distinguish between the rotational and orbital angular momenta of the two stars, nor recognise that as eC loses mass it will conserve its angular momentum by increasing its rate of rotation. This is further discussed in Redshifts (below) B. Electromagnetism Several chapters discuss how the actions of magnetism and electricity, and interactions between them, affect the Sun, Earth, and cosmos. Rotation of a star or planet transports ionised matter through space, creating a neutral electric current. Bontes theorises that the Lorentz force separates positive and negative charges to form two currents at different distances from the centre. The difference between the two oppositely oriented fields ...
350. Stability of Solid Cores in Gaseous Planets [Journals] [Kronos]
... if the imaginary planet consisted of a solid shell and a solid core, all the rest of the interior space being a vacuum, the core could remain, in theory, at any location inside the shell, since the sum of the gravitational pull of the material of the shell acting on the core would be zero (like the zero electrical forces inside a Faraday cage). If the shell and core in combination form a planet in orbit about a star, with the core initially in the center of the shell, as soon as the latter encounters some frictional resistance to its orbital motion, it will decelerate slightly, and the core will then move away from its central ...
