Welcome to Space News from the Electric Universe, brought to you by the
Thunderbolts Project at Thunderbolts.info.
The fundamental difference between the electric universe and standard cosmology
can probably be summarized as follows: The Electric Universe is a connected
universe where nothing is born or exists in isolation. Filamentary networks of
electric currents pervade space producing the magnetic fields that are
now detected in virtually all scales throughout the universe.
Yet even as the existence of electric currents and space has slowly entered
the astronomical literature,
astronomers still view gravity as the predominant force in the cosmos. Today,
Bishop Nicholas Sykes discusses The Electric Universe foundations for a new
understanding of many phenomena in nature, including our own sun. David Talbott
points out that the ancients spoke of the Thunderbolt ruling the universe. When
we transpose their conceptual language into our own, the ancients seem to have
got it right.
Electric Universe theorists maintain that it is the transportation of
electrical energy that the plasma facilitates that makes the stars shine
including our sun and produces all the electromagnetic radiation found in
nature. The solar wind, so called, the galactic currents and the intergalactic
electric circuits all play their part in maintaining the existence of the
universe and in maintaining human existence.
These electrical power systems form connected parts of the great plasma
engine that rules and empowers our universe. The above statements are in
conflict with most of today's accepted astronomy and cosmology theories which
operate on the premise that electric fields, currents, and plasma discharges
are not important mechanisms in space. Until recently, only gravitational fields
were asserted to be important,
but more recently the importance of magnetic fields has also been admitted.
Even so, such a premise is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain with
any honesty on two accounts: One, that it is generally known that magnetic fields
of all sorts are caused by electric currents. And two, that in the era of the
space age it becomes increasingly difficult to avoid the natural
conclusion of many observations clearly showing the universe to be highly
electrical in nature.
Furthermore, since we observe in everyday life that electrical forces are vastly
stronger than gravitational forces,
how long can it be maintained in all seriousness that for driving the
universe the vastly stronger force is to be ignored
while the much weaker gravitational force is to be asserted. Electric
universe theory does not postulate where, when, or how such a vast electrical power
transportation might have come into being. EU theory is concerned very much
with producing tangible evidence that the things about which its speaks are
indeed true and verifiable. Dr. Donald Scott, for instance, produces convincing
calculations showing that the collection of electrons from the space around the
sun can be enough to produce the sun's output of radiation given the observed
features such as the electrical potentials and the temperatures of the
various spheres: photosphere,
chromosphere, corona, and heliosphere by which the sun is characterized. In the EU
model of the sun, the sun's photosphere acts as an anode and will continue to do
so for as long as it maintains a sufficiently positive potential
difference to the plasma of the heliosphere from which it collects
negative electrons and to which it discharges positive ions. The magnetic
field aligned currents, called Birkeland Currents, that sustain this positive
potential
are generated by the great plasma engine of the universe.
The sun is empowered from outside itself as are the stars in general and as
Dr. Scott points out there is no telling when or for how long the sun or any
other particular star will be sustained.
There is considerable evidence coming to light about the variability of star
sustenance and output, but thankfully there appears to be a verifiable
mechanism that greatly stabilizes our sun's light output in spite of its
varying electrical environment. The plasma state is characterized by matter
in subatomic form, be this form positive ions or electrons or both. The particle
inhabitants of the plasma state exists therefore in a state of lower
organization than their counterparts in the three other states. The higher
organization makes for greater stability, but the electrical nature of the energy
transfers across lengths of plasma, as in fluorescent lights or expanses of plasma
as in space, requires a medium of charged but movable particles.
It was demonstrated to me and many others as school children that: One,
plasma through which a low current density passes operates in dark current
mode.
You cannot see any glow, but radio waves can be radiated. Two, when the
current density is increased, a point is reached at which the potential
difference,
up to this point increasing between the electrodes
connecting to the plasma, suddenly drops and the plasma starts to glow.
An example of this is the fluorescent lamp which needs of some sort of starter
to get it going.
This mode is called the normal glow mode.
There is a third mode of plasma operation called the arc mode, which
cannot be demonstrated with the same sort of equipment which would be
destroyed if the current density were increased further.
Nevertheless, it may be demonstrated by generating an electrical spark between
two metal spheres or by the electric welding arc. Again,
it has long been known to be necessary to begin the spark with a relatively
high voltage difference which drops when the discharge begins to operate. In these
cases the air between the electrodes, even at atmospheric pressure, breaks down
to become a conductive plasma. A useful primer on these discharge
characteristics by D. E. Scott is published on the internet. Armed by the familiar
knowledge of these three modes in which plasma operates electrically, it is
possible to make much better sense not only of our own sun, but other abundance
of cosmological observations including those customarily accounted for by the
much-touted magnetic reconnection. Stephen Smith relates, for instance,
that astronomers using the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, WISE, are
reported to have located a star
Zeta Ophiuchi, whose, and i quote, "Powerful winds push gas and dust out of its way
and into what is called a bow shock."
It is conventionally assumed that the star's velocity compresses gas and dust
in front of it as it flies through space because it's so termed, 'stellar wind',
shoves gas and dust out of the way. The so termed, 'bow shock', is said to heat up
the interstellar medium, ISM, until it glows in the infrared frequencies that
WISE can see.
However, Smith points out, that instead of treating the interstellar medium like an
inert medium, The Electric Universe model sees it as an electrically charged
material that is affected by the plasma sheaths around stars.
Stellar plasma and the interstellar medium are different plasmas,
so they develop Langmuir Plasma Sheaths, or double layers, between them. While the
photospheres of stars are where galactic electric anode discharges are
focused, double boundary layers form the corresponding virtual cathodes, and
in the case of our sun
this is the heliospheric boundary. For continuous updates on Space News from
