Welcome to Space News from the Electric Universe
brought to you by The Thunderbolts Project™

Today we begin a series of Science News reports
that challenged the very underpinnings of modern cosmology.
In many previous Space News episodes we've reported on the discoveries of objects
that are "impossible" in the standard model,
including stars in the impossible brightness and chemical composition,
galaxies with astonishing magnetic field strengths
and objects that appear impossible huge
under the theoretical limits of the Big Bang Theory.
Today, astronomers observations of the so-called impossible quasar
is again sending investigators back to the drawing board.
A team working with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey has announced that
the so-called distant quasar has mysteriously dimmed
in a shockingly short period of time.
Not over millions of years as required by theory but only 12 years after its discovery.
As one team members states: "The difference was stunning an unprecedented.
The hydrogen-alpha emission dropped by a factor of 50 in less than 12 years,
and the quasar now looks like a normal galaxies."
The best explanation the team can offer is that:
"The quasar has used up all the glowing hot gas in its immediate vicinity
leading to a rapid drop in brightness".
However, in light of this discovery nowhere in science media do we see
discussions of the theoretical predictions of the late astronomer Halton Arp.
Today, we asked Dr. Donald Scott to explain the consistency of this
and countless other discoveries with Arp's groundbreaking thesis.
In the last week or so, have been a couple of press releases from
all official astronomical sources that really deserve
the attention and comment of somebody here from the EU.
First one I'd like to talk about a little bit was entitled
"Mysterious dimming of a quasar in just 12 years".
Ok now, noticed 'mysterious'
those words are always in these press, 'ghostly', 'mysterious'...
The main thing is it, there was a dimming of a quasar in a 12 year period.
Now, we have to remember that accepted astronomy
almost every object in cosmic space at least
is thought to be pretty much in lonely pristine isolation, any major changes
and any galaxy or quasar or single star or whatever must come from within the object,
that's the idea of the nuclear fusion being the source of power
and isolated within each of these objects, except for black holes.
which are mysterious and ghostly, but anyway thought to take a very long time
usually in the millions of years to change, any of those objects.
So, a quote from the article says: "The difference was stunning and unprecedented.
The hydrogen-alpha emission dropped by a factor of 50 in less than 12 years",
and pay attention to these words now: "the quasar now looks like a normal galaxy."
So, this is a big mystery because there's things
that are not supposed to change in less than 12 years.
And how in the world could a quasar change into
from being something looks sort of like a star, a quasi-stellar object, into a galaxy?
They think it's stunning and unprecedented because it doesn't fit their standard model
of how stars and galaxies evolve.
Well, let me make a comment, in 1998 the world-famous astronomer
one of my heroes at least, Halton Arp, wrote a book entitled 'Seeing Red'.
Strictly speaking Arp was not really a member of the Electric Universe group
but he spoke at one of conferences and his work fits in extremely well with ours.
In any event, on page 239 of that book after decades of observation
using the both Mont Wilson and Palomar observatories
Arp presented his hypothesis, and his hypothesis was that
many mature galaxies of the specific type eject newborn objects as QSO,
quasi-stellar objects - quasars - and these objects grow up
to the be companion galaxies of their parents.
They move away from the parents and then they change their mass,
they change their brilliance and slow down and eventually they even begin to hold back
a little bit towards the main galaxy, the parent galaxy.
We think they gain change mass because they change the amount of electrical charge but that's
that's in addition that the EU has put on Arp's hypothesis,
his original hypothesis said nothing about that.
But we feel it's consistent with what we think.
Any how, is the age these QSOs cool on and the matter in the mall begin to condense and organize into stars.
So, finally the stars will organize into the familiar shapes of normal galaxies.
For those statements even though he had a great amount of observational evidence to support them
he was stripped of his privileges to use the big observatories, he was essentially fired.
How is that for treatment like Galileo had?
Anyway, now we get this naive report from the group of investigators
who presumably never heard of Halton Arp and is groundbreaking work.
If you, the viewer here, we'll take a look at the Thunderbolts info,
sorry Thunderbolts.info, you can look under the heading of TPODs,
Thunderbolts Pictures Of the Day, and look for the one on January 6 2005.
It's sort of comic entitled "The universe according to Arp"
and that gard Arp
But any way, it's not a funny article it is very serious article
and I think one of the most important TPOD that ever get published.
But anyway the group who wrote this report that we are talking about,
this press release, have now discovered new evidence that Arp was correct!
But they will not give him credit, is just that they never heard of him,
and that's one of the reasons I'm talking to you today
because I think it's just... this is the kind of thing we cannot let go
into the dim depths of the past and forget about this man,
he was, he was an absolute genius and on a par with Galileo, in my estimation.
