Comet Plunges into the Sun
A comet plunged into the sun early this month. Traveling at 600 kilometers per second through the hot corona of the sun, it is clear that the object could not
Galactic Flares and the Climate
There are quite a number of theories related to cosmic radiation that we may soon be able to test now that there has been a galactic flare at the center of
Galactic Flaring
It has long been known that the center of galaxies are prone to flaring, with huge outbursts of radiation. However, such flaring has not been reliably observed in our
Electrons as Glue
The proton-electron model of the atom has no neutrons in the nucleus. Instead, there are protons with electrons acting as glue to keep everything together.
An objection
Black Holes
The hypothetical black holes, that are currently presented as science facts, suffer from the same theoretical weaknesses as neutron stars, only more so.
Neutron Stars
Modern science is riddled with theories that are presented as facts to the general public. As Mark Twain bluntly put it: “There is something fascinating about science.
Infinities and Singularities
One of the great advantages of a strict particle model of physics is that it requires discrete rather than continuous math to work out formulas
Lightning, Positrons and Fossilization
According to conventional theory on fossilization, the process of turning a dead animal or plant into a fossil takes thousands, if not millions of years.
Photons and Static Electricity
Photons get polarized by magnetic fields. This has been known since Faraday made this discovery back in 1845. However, no similar effect occurs when photons
Gamma Rays in Space
It has long been known that space is full of gamma ray sources. These include one off events such as supernovas and repeating events such as pulsars.
