According to legend, Jupiter has given birth to numerous children, including Venus. This is interpreted by Electric Universe proponents as real physical events. The planet Jupiter gave birth to its moons, and to Venus which managed to escape its gravitational field to become an independent planet of the solar system.

Electrical stress

The physics behind this is simple. All planets, and large planets in particular, become electrically stressed from time to time. To reduce this stress, they can split off some of their mass because the surface areas of two spheres are larger than a single sphere made out of the same amount of matter. There’s more surface area to handle the charge, and with more surface area, the electrical tension become less.

Seen in this perspective, the fact that Jupiter’s great red spot is becoming smaller, rounder and taller, is particularly interesting. Could it be that Jupiter is about to give birth to a new moon, or planet?

Hollow moons and planets

At present, the red spot is about the size of Earth. Like all storms, it has a low pressure area in the middle. The bulk of its matter is located away from the center.

If this is the way planets and moons are formed, then we can expect them to have large and diffuse cores, just like Jupiter itself.

Mineral rich storm

Note also that the great spot is red. It indicates that it may be rich in iron and other minerals. If the storm is mineral rich, like a sand-storm, the end product may indeed be a rock planet or moon. This would fit the observed evidence well. Small planets and moons are spherical rocks. Only the larger ones have an atmosphere.

From legends, it is also possible to derive the possible consequences of a birthing planet. Saturn consumed most of its children immediately after birth. However, this did not end well for Saturn, which ultimately split into two, forming Jupiter in the process.

Could happen soon

If Jupiter is in the process of giving birth, the likelihood that this will happen relatively soon is quite good. We are entering a grand solar minimum. This will cause storms to intensify, not only on Earth, but on all the planets in our solar system. A laboring Jupiter is therefore about to get an extra push. Maybe sufficiently strong to expel its red spot from its body.
