... Telescope data of an object called Cygnus XR-1, a stellar black hole in our own galaxy, roughly 6,000 light-years away. What he found in images from 1992 were bright flashes of ultraviolet light that sputtered and then disappeared. Dolan suggests that the signals-he found two separate instances of them- represent hot blobs of gas orbiting inward and spiraling through the event horizon. Dolan presented his findings at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society meeting in San Diego, California. The Twilight Zone Cygnus XR-1, with a mass estimated at three to seven times that of our Sun compressed into an area no larger than Earth, is thought to be part of a binary system . The ...

... knot of hot ionized gas (or plasmoid) seems to be formed. Ball lightning seems to be a self-contained electrically resonant form of plasma which may hold the key to many astrophysical problems. For example, Bruce expected on the basis of his theory that balls of hot gas would be found at the ends of the bars in some barred spiral galaxies. That was confirmed. (Actually, Arp has shown that they are a site of companion galaxy formation). Subsequent experiments using a Boys camera in the lab confirmed that ball lightning is formed at sharp bends in the discharge channel. Karen Josephson asks: In the latest Thoth you describe the Earth as having probably been within ...

... 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 along magnetic field lines in "ropes", known as Birkeland currents. Each "filament" of the rope exhibits long-range attraction and short-range repulsion for other parallel filaments. The result is that ...

... I interpret as a reflection of broader semantic relationships than generally imagined. If my underlying assumption is correct we should find many instances in which, enigmatically, quite different roots carry forward the SAME complex of nuances. Here, the nuances would be: 1) to strike, 2) a break in a sequence, and 3) a spiraling or turning stroke or mark. In the symbolism of the Great Star/Great Comet these concepts are inseparably connected. I find it significant, therefore, that both the comet and comma reflect the same complex of ideas or functions, despite the fact that natural experience today seems to offer little or no support for the integrated meanings. ...

... West Burton, N. Yorks. Light on Venus In published SIS literature [e .g . Erratic Events in The Solar System', C&C Review X, 1988, pp. 43-48] I have described a mechanism for the ejection from Jupiter of an electrically charged cosmic body (Cosbod) which went into solar orbit and spiralled in as its charge leaked away, crossing the orbits of Mars and Earth, causing the observed electrical and tidal disturbances. When Cosbod is fully discharged its orbit would be stable and I originally claimed that this gave a scientific explanation of the creation of Venus as a young, hot planet. However, further computer studies showed that the ...

... of temperature in a plasma sheath is meaningless. The filamentary structures in the chromosphere and corona, seen down to the limit of resolution, are diagnostic of predominantly radial electric currents in these regions. I would take issue with the use of the word "wind". The solar wind is structured in a way that suggests it is a spiral of Birkeland currents feeding a plasmoid shaped like a twisted doughnut that encircles the Sun very closely. As shown in laboratory experiments, such a plasmoid can store considerable energy. That energy is released at intervals by discharging to the surface of the Sun. Solar flares and Coronal Mass Ejection events result from particularly violent discharges. The glow discharge ...

... found in the heart of Silbury Hill as well, and in various ritual infillings. For instance, at the West Kennet long barrow which went out of use towards the end of the 3rd millennium BC and was purposely decommissioned by the use of fill (chalk rubble, bones, organic soil, snails etc.). Snail shells are spiral, a common neolithic motif, on rocks, pottery etc. The species of snail involved was not endemic to the upland zone and was purposely collected and brought there from the moist valley bottoms.

... also glow? Wal responds: It is the most reasonable answer I can think of and it fits with the work of plasma cosmologists. The plasma cosmologists have drawn the configuration of galactic plasma in an electrified cosmos. (See "The Big Bang Never Happened" by Lerner). It takes the form of twisted current ropes following the spiral arms of our galaxy. The evidence for their existence and their magnitude comes from maps of the galactic magnetic field. Some indirect evidence for progressive galactic electrification also comes from an extension of mine to the work of Halton Arp on quasar red shifts and the formation of plasmoids at the centre of active galactic nuclei (AGN's). Other ...

... North America I know of that practiced human sacrifice - but not anywhere near on the scale of the Aztecs - and only when Mars rose in the East. Funny thing is that there are polar configuration pictographs and petroglyphs all over the place - circle within a circle within a circle with radiating spokes (the radiant Venus) as well as spirals and crescents, so Saturn was presumably depicted in this, but I don't know of any evidence that the planet itself was worshipped by itself. EV ADDS: Typically the ancient sun-god in American Indian legends is to be identified with Saturn. In the Tsimshian tradition quoted by me in a recent Aeon, the sun-god is said to live ...

... a year, which I proposed could be explained by a change in the electrical environment of the Earth. I have also proposed in The Electric Universe that the solar activity cycle is driven externally by the Sun's galactic environment. More specifically, it traces the Sun's passage across the giant Birkeland current threads which energise and define the arms of our spiral galaxy. This interesting report seems to support all of these inter-connections: "Two American workers have recently demonstrated that there is indeed a very remarkable link between the fluctuations in the length of the day taken from a sample over the years 1865 to 1961, and the small variations in the strength of the Earth's dipole between 1901 and 1960 ...
