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
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
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.
Origin of Prevailing Winds
Conventional theory on prevailing winds has terrestrial heating from solar radiation as the main driver. Secondly, we have Earth’s rotation as an additional engine.
Solar Cycles
Planets move around the Sun like clockwork. The exact position of planets can be worked out for thousand of years. When it comes to predictability, there’s nothing quite like
Exploding Meteorites
Meteorites have been in the news lately for having allegedly caused two major catastrophes in human history. First, it was the discovery of a large impact crater on Greenland.
