Rosetta Mission Update | First Science Papers

TEXT: "Published on Feb 7, 2015: Scientists with the European Space Agency’s Rosetta mission are writing a new chapter in the history of comet science. However, institutional science’s understanding of comets is less certain today than at any time before. Recently, the Rosetta team published their first scientific papers following their successful landing on the comet 67P. Yet the scientific summaries raised far more question than answers."

"No one exploring the Electric Universe has ever suggested that nuclear fusion does not exist. And no one has ever denied that fusion is occurring on the Sun. When a coronal mass ejection occurs, the neutrino count goes up. A CME is a surface event, not an event at the core of the Sun. That's a pretty good reason to look to energies close to the surface of the Sun—the dynamic interface with its external plasma environment—as the source of fusion and neutrino production. Of course the energy of a CME would be little more than a barely perceptible fraction of the total emissions just beneath the surface, at the surface, and above the surface in the corona. THERMONUCLEAR CORE NOT NEEDED.

"It should also be noted that, on close examination, the vast convection required by the thermonuclear model, has never been observed. What solar physicists thought was convection has turned out to be anything but.

"The Sun's behavior requires an external electric field, and that electric field will also explain the behavior of comets."​

The Electrochemistry of Comets with Dr. Franklin Anariba | Space News

TEXT: "Published on Mar 31, 2015: It is a great paradox in comet science: We are told that a comet nucleus is a ball of ice, or dirty snowball, or icy fluff ball that accreted billions of year ago in the solar system’s infancy. Comets are said to sublimate ices as they move toward the sun, and solar warming is responsible for much cometary activity. Yet this reasoning leaves unexplained countless puzzles in comet science. We ask the question, can the science of electrochemistry provide an answer to many comet mysteries?

"Dr. Franklin Anariba, a specialist in electrochemistry, was a featured speaker at The Thunderbolts Project’s international conference EU2013: The Tipping Point. Dr. Anariba is also scheduled to speak at the forthcoming EU2015: Paths of Discovery, taking place June 25 - 29, Phoenix, Arizona, USA."

Black Hole's Powerful Magnetic Field Observed For First Time
April 17, 2015 | by Stephen Luntz
LINK: Black Hole's Powerful Magnetic Field Observed For First Time | IFLScience

TEXT: "For the first time, astronomers have confirmed the existence of an intense magnetic field surrounding the event horizon of a supermassive black hole. The much-anticipated discovery fits an important piece into our understanding of the way black holes affect the space around them.

Unsurprisingly, black holes are not easy to observe. However, we can detect their existence based in part on the powerful plasma jets the supermassive black holes spit out. These are directed along the rotation axis of the holes' accretion disks—the material on which they feed.

As the paper in Science notes, however, “The mechanism that forms such a jet and guides it over scales from a few light-days up to millions of light-years remains uncertain, but magnetic fields are thought to play a critical role.”

Until this paper, the only magnetic fields detected around black holes were relatively weak and several light-years from the hole itself. Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), a team from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, examined the light emerging near the event horizon of the black hole at the heart of galaxy PKS 1830-211.

They found the light to be strongly polarized. The polarization of light, used for 3D films and by certain animals, got a lot of attention last year when scientists thought they had found evidence for gravitational waves from the birth of the universe based on the way the cosmic background radiation is polarized.

That research turned out to be wrong; a lot of things can induce polarization. One of these is powerful magnetic fields. “When produced naturally, polarization can be used to measure magnetic fields, since light changes its polarization when it travels through a magnetized medium,” says lead author Dr. Ivan Marti-Vidal.

“Of particular importance is the observation of the rotation measure, RM, defined as the change of polarization angle as a function of wavelength squared,” the authors write. “This quantity is directly related to the plasma density and the strength of the magnetic field along the line of sight.”

Much of the light emitted from the inner regions of the area around black holes is absorbed before reaching us, so it is only in the submillimeter wavelengths that we can detect signs of this polarization. ALMA, only in full operation for two years, represents the first instrument capable of detecting the polarization in this part of the electromagnetic spectrum with the sensitivity required.

The rotation detected is hundreds of times higher than anything previously observed. “At least a few tens of Gauss, and possibly much higher,” the authors conclude.

“In this case, the light that we detected with ALMA had been traveling through material very close to the black hole, a place full of highly magnetized plasma," says Marti-Vidal. Where previous observations struggled to see anything within a few light-years of black holes, the fields measured here were just a few light-days from the event horizon.

Understanding this field, the authors argue, will help explain both the operation of black hole accretion disks and the jets produced.​

Talk For Food 243: The Fourth Phase of Water with Gerald Pollack

TEXT: "Published on Jul 24, 2014: While we have grown accustomed to treating it as just another chemical compound comprised of (2) Hydrogen and (1) Oxygen atoms, water has always been and will always be more than that.

"Scientists and academicians have steered clear of any in-depth research on water, for fear that their careers, and abilities to continue to earn a livelihood or maintain "stature" among their peers, might be jeopardized. This is what makes Gerald Pollack, PhD, professor of bio-engineering at the University of Washington in Seattle a notable exception.

"As author of "The Fourth Phase of Water: Beyond Solid, Liquid, Vapor", Dr. Pollack has some fascinating and important insights to share from his research into the amazing properties of water, and some of the history of why change has been so slow.

"Adam traveled to Seattle to spend a morning in conversation with Dr. Pollack. In this show they discuss historical mileposts, and the properties and nature of what he terms, "Exclusion Zone" water, or "EZ" water."

I just love this stuff - bouncy and wild and woolly - science over beers - pick your poison - great fun!

Comment: "The modern awareness that plasma composes most of the universe requires a re-evaluation of theories dating from earlier times. Plasma is electrically active and employs forces that can be many times stronger than those of mechanical erosion and tectonics. One possible model envisions the globe enveloped in plasma discharges within the memory of humans. Material from space and from electrical erosion of the surface was suddenly sorted and deposited electrically to a great depth. Dust, sand, gravel, rocks, boulders, coal, and oil accumulated wherever there was dry land. Red-hot dust blown by electrically generated tornado-like winds built up strata in place: “plastered” against obstructions in a manner similar to welded material. Flooding filled the valleys between the mountains with sediments. Where electrical activity was strong enough, the loose material was lithified and even metamorphosed. In this presentation, the Four Corners region in the US is presented as an example."

I want to parse this post a bit because it would be very easy to pass this video by, when in fact some very important science history pertaining to the study of water is delivered here by Mr Pollack, as well as current water research. I have had a side-interest in water myself, and I find what he is saying absolutely riveting.

The exploration and described experiments of water recording information - in effect, having 'memory' - is the real tease.

Loved Pollack's quote: "Life is water dancing to the tune of solids." - Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

The interview starts at around 11:00 - has some interruptions for ads that you can leap-frog over. The first half is all about the fascinating history of the study of water - and how what scientists discovered about water literally destroyed their careers. Scientists that introduce new ideas do not fare well in science!

Starts up again at around 35:00 after a lengthy mid-video break for ads. I find the second half most engrossing since it deals with the current investigations. Pollack alludes to the problem of science at mid-century (20th) suddenly losing its sense of 'wholeness' and the inter-connectedness of research. How water has been discounted is startling. What did some famous scientist say: what impedes our scientific progress is what we think we know - or along those lines. How true about water!

'The Fourth Phase of Water: Beyond Solid, Liquid, Vapor' - Gerald Pollack

The Fourth Phase of Water: Beyond Solid, Liquid, and Vapor Paperback by Gerald H. Pollack May, 2013
Amazon Review: "I can't stop thinking about what Pollack is proposing in this book. At the very least, if you read this book, you will come away understanding that our "most precious resource" is misunderstood. More likely, you will have an awakening and realize that the world is fundamentally different than the way you were raised to understand. I couldn't believe what I was reading. I am still shocked, having finished reading two days ago. How long can mainstream science ignore the ramifications of water having an exclusion zone (EZ)? Our academic institutions should be devoting resources to researching this breakthrough. The implications of Pollack's research is seemingly endless. This might be the best Amazon purchase I have made."

Another Amazon Review: "There is one certain thing that I can promise to those who read this book: They are going to have a thrill. I did. I am sitting here for some minutes, and, I hardly know how to go to the next statement. I am a glutton for knowledge. I have stacks of books from authors such as Korzybski, Kervran, Speransky, Janov, Reich, Naessens, Grebennokov, Koestler, Lang, Luria, Bechamp, Conquest, etc., the list goes on. I can say that Gerald Pollack is not only an exceptional writer and scientist, he is also an artist, and he is more concerned with truth than with prestige. This is a rare find in the world today. His presentation unfolds, like a river flowing to the sea. But, the river has its beginnings, that start as drops, then trickles, and slowly builds mass and momentum. It is a wonderful story about water that is told in this book. He starts off with the virgin white page, and begins to paint in almost transparent tones, that build one upon the other, with subtle and simple complexity, as he weaves all elements of his story together. He makes it simple, but, it isn't simple at all. I had to move slowly, and think, and, get the images and concepts to make me understand. And, when I understood, for instance, the reason why dry sand is so fluffy, and sinks to the pressure of my feet......and how adding water, that magnetic molecule to it, does a magic trick, and makes it firm enough for a horse to run on, or a car to race near the surf.....well, that made me feel high. I got pleasure from it, real pleasure. If you are interested in deciphering the grand mysteries of the most important molecule on this planet, you MUST read this book. No one could say it better than Gerald Pollack. Thank you so much, Jerry, for having written such an exciting book. I will read it again."

"Published on Jul 24, 2014: While we have grown accustomed to treating it as just another chemical compound comprised of (2) Hydrogen and (1) Oxygen atoms, water has always been and will always be more than that.

And Pollack goes into fascinating detail as to why.

"Scientists and academicians have steered clear of any in-depth research on water, for fear that their careers, and abilities to continue to earn a livelihood or maintain "stature" among their peers, might be jeopardized. This is what makes Gerald Pollack, PhD, professor of bio-engineering at the University of Washington in Seattle a notable exception.

This story alone is a riveting tale.

"As author of "The Fourth Phase of Water: Beyond Solid, Liquid, Vapor", Dr. Pollack has some fascinating and important insights to share from his research into the amazing properties of water, and some of the history of why change has been so slow.

I am really hoping I can make the conference this June. All happening, cutting-edge science.

"Adam traveled to Seattle to spend a morning in conversation with Dr. Pollack. In this show they discuss historical mileposts, and the properties and nature of what he terms, "Exclusion Zone" water, or "EZ" water."

He apparently has more of the interview but this is all that I see posted. Great stuff.

Does Gravity Alone Rule the Cosmos? | Space News

TEXT: "Published on Apr 11, 2015: For nearly three years we have reported on countless discoveries that challenge the foundations of modern cosmology and astrophysics. Today we routinely hear of celestial objects ranging in scale from stars, galaxies and quasar groups that should not exist if the standard astrophysical models are correct. However, it seems that these discoveries, no matter how baffling or unexpected, rarely seem to force any real reassessment of the foundations of popular theory. And all of these theories arose from a basic underlying principle of an electrically sterile and disconnected Universe.

"Today we examine the theoretical core of modern astrophysics and cosmology. Our guest is physicist Eugene Bagashov, whose research is in theoretical physics, and who currently works at the Joint Institute for Power and Nuclear Research – Sosny. Eugene is scheduled to speak at the forthcoming conference, EU 2015, Paths of Discovery, taking place June 25th to 29th in Phoenix, AZ. Today, Eugene offers a brief introduction and preview of his talk, where he will explain that the observed movements in the Universe cannot be created with the gravitational force alone."

Steve Smith: Mars -- The Great Desert in 3-D | EU2014

TEXT: "Published on Jun 26, 2014: Martian areography tells a story of incredibly violent events. It appears from the many images sent to Earth that it once experienced powerful plasma discharges on a massive scale. Burned and blasted craters, piles of scorched dust covering almost an entire hemisphere, and great trenches that wend across its scarred face lead to the conclusion that lightning thousands or millions of times more energetic than known today devastated Mars. Steve Smith discussed some of the more unusual features on Mars, presumably caused by those cataclysmic upheavals. Red/blue anaglyph images will provide a unique perspective. Get your 3-D glasses out for this presentation. You will be glad you did.

"Stephen Smith is the managing editor and principal writer for the Thunderbolts Picture of the Day (TPOD) feature. His archive contains close to 900 articles about nearly every topic addressed by the Electric Universe movement. Based on a 40-year interest in the electrical nature of the cosmos, his work reflects the pioneering discoveries by many people: David Talbott, Wallace Thornhill, Donald Scott, Ralph Juergens, and others too numerous to mention."

Dr. Jonathan Wolfe: Fractals -- Changing Paradigms in Science and Education | EU2014

TEXT: "Published on May 22, 2014: Fractals are the strikingly beautiful images of complex and chaotic systems. While they have existed in nature for billions of years, only in the last few decades has modern mathematics and science started to acknowledge their importance. Indeed, fractals have recently transformed our understanding of a wide range of natural phenomena, and fractal math provides a new language for quantifying the patterns of nature. Unfortunately, our educational systems and our culture at large have not yet caught up with this conceptual revolution. As a society, we still try to tackle complex problems with inadequate linear solutions, and we still teach our children simple, boring, and largely irrelevant math skills that fail to serve or inspire them. Explore the exciting new realm of fractals in an engaging interdisciplinary presentation that excites and inspires with new possibilities for understanding the complexity of nature. Covering both the art and science of fractals, we explore the interconnected fractal patterns of nature, seen at scales from the microscopic to the galactic.

"Dr. Wolfe is the founder and Executive Director of the Fractal Foundation, a New Mexico nonprofit that uses the beauty of fractals to inspire interest and participation in science, math and art. An artist as well as a scientist, his studies of the neurophysiology of the visual system were inspired by his love of color, form and motion, and now his knowledge of perceptual neuroscience informs his art. His love of fractals continues to spiral upward and outward, reaching ever larger audiences, through public art installations, school presentations, corporate trainings, and full-dome planetarium fractal shows. Since 2003, he has taught over 50,000 children and 25,000 adults the important and inspiring lessons of fractals, chaos and complexity.

Stephen Crothers: The Parallax Effect on Short Hair | EU2014

TEXT: "Published on Apr 19, 2014: Stephen Crothers presented the case that Black Holes and the Big Bang have been created by theorists and never observed. Black Holes are now said to be both invisible and visible. Quasars are now black holes; so are the 'blazars'. Individual black holes are also alleged x-ray sources. It is claimed that galaxies harbor a super-massive black hole at their centers, along with other black holes dispersed throughout them. All these black holes exist in an alleged expanding big bang universe. However, black hole universes are inconsistent with big bang universes. The audience were taken through the salient facts one step at a time in this riveting mostly non-mathematical presentation. The math of General Relativity has a notorious reputation for its complexity but most of the important facts can be understood by the layman and specialist alike without any mathematics.

"Crothers is a preeminent mathematician, counted among the most competent critics of modern cosmology (including both the General Theory of Relativity and popular theory of the Big Bang). He has also gained much attention for his systematic unraveling of standard Black Hole theory, showing that the mathematical model of a Black Hole follows neither from observation nor from any logical reasoning from Einstein's General Theory of Relativity."

Some posters comments -
Comment: "I certainly can understand the explanation given here based on the model, However, how does mass pollution and deforestation effect our environment? Not at all? What effects can we use to advocate cleaner practices?"

Comment: "Its literally a different issue. There is a difference between 'global warming' and simply environmental destruction, which is the REAL environmental problem and not addressed by government. fracking, animal extinctions, radiation leaks all over the world, plastic everywhere, deforestation etc. the effect of that creates land that becomes no longer habitable through erosion and poor soil quality. basically a desert earth. but its temp will still be regulated by the sun lol."

You were quite active posting about this topic. Did you lose interest or change your mind about it in some ways? Did you go to the conference?
