Africa has an eye that stares into space, complete with a dark pupil and blue iris. It's located in western Sahara, in the country of Mauritania. Its official name is the Rhichat Structure. Satellite picture of the Richat Structure By…
The total mass of the asteroid belt is approximately 4% of our Moon. Enough to make some believe that the asteroid belt is the remnants of a planet named Phaeton. Supposedly destroyed in a cataclysmic event that took place recent…
Our Moon is receding from us by about 3.8 cm a year. The conventional explanation for this is that the energy required to produce the tides of the Earth's oceans translates into a widening of the Moon's orbit. But if…
Everywhere we look in the world around us, we find spiraling patterns. The shell of the Nautilus is often used as a symbol for this. The double helix of the DNA that make up the genetic code of life is…
Conventional theory maintains that planets are formed through a process in which gravity pulls dust and interstellar rocks into an asteroid belt, and that this disc of rubble is subsequently pulled together to form planets. The rubble itself is believed…
Terrestrial lightning is frequently accompanied by gamma rays. First as a flash, and then as a lingering afterglow that can last up to a minute. This can be explained in terms of an aether of low energy photons and neutrinos…
There can be no doubt that earthquakes and gravity anomalies coincide. When comparing a global gravity anomaly map to a global earthquake map, we see that the two line up. Gravity is at its strongest wherever earthquakes are at their most…
Mars has a diameter that is only a little more than half that of Earth. Surface gravity on Mars should therefore be a little more than half that of Earth, assuming that Mars and Earth
Nature has a tendency towards efficiency. Not only do we see efficiency play a role in physics and chemistry. It shows up in biology and human behavior as well. This was
When we apply Newton's shell theorem to gravity, we come to the conclusion that there's no gravitational force at the center of large bodies like moons, planets and stars. This means that a central hollow, once formed, will not go…
