Thunderbolts.info: the Electric Universe

Introduction

David Talbot, a mythologist inspired by Immanuel Velikovsky, ... He had even given up trying to tie his mythology concepts to physics (apart from help from ?Gedi Ben Low? on the possibility of planetary alignments in orbit) in ?1991?, throwing away much material that he had gather over the decades, and after he wrote the book "The Saturn myth". A few years later, Australian amateur physicist Wal Thornhill came with the idea that plasma physics could substantiate mythology. Given the opening of research labs by Ronald Regan, he was able to sit down with Anthony Peratt, author of a textbook on plasma physics, who was inspired enough to spend about a decade touring petroglyphs around the world that resembled laboratory plasmas (also Part II Directionality and source).

Thunderbolts.info was establish in ?date?, and has been an ongoing community allowing [amateur, scientist]s to find an audience willing to listen to ideas that have long been heretical to the mainstream. [SAFIRE, Kaal's "Structured Atom Model"] are only two of the examples.

Scorpion-like petroglyph that fired up the first Talbot-Peratt meeting within the first 5 minutes!!!
(Talbott gave a funny description of the meeting) :

Fig. 27. (Left) Conceptual geometry and experimental laser shadowgraph of an intense current-conducting toroidal stack.

Fig. 28. (Left) Laser back-illuminated plasma pinch. The photograph has been digitally stratified to bring out the curling of the edges of the bottom, flattened toroids. The cathode is at the top. (Right) Sample collection of petroglyphs showing the transition from the ladder phase of the instability to toroid vortices. (Left to right, top to bottom). The examples shown have been collected from several parts of the world

Electric Geology FUN [paper, video]s

Thunderbolts.info: 'Electric Geology' FUN [paper, video]s : Wonderful [stories, concepts] about the geology of [Earth, Mars, Moon, etc]. Its the questions and thinking that intrigues and inspures. [right, wrong, true, false] is for another day, perhaps forever.

I commented, and added some local Alberta, Canada examples.

Oliver Manuel's comments on [geology, war] may be interesting in terms of Kaal's SAM :
- natural chain reactions in geology? :
  - W. J. Lin and O. K. Manuel, “On the occurrence of a self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction in Northeast Finland about two billion years ago”, paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Missouri Academy of Science, Warrensburg, MO, April 25-26, 1986
  but I've lost my [email, note, paper]s on that. (I might have run across his emails through the John Chappelle Natural Philosophy Society, rather than Thunderbolts.info)
- p43 of Kuroda's autobiography (see "My Early Days at the Imperial University of Tokyo")
  "... Four years before the discovery of fission by Hahn and Strassmann, Dr. Ida Noddack published an extremely important paper in Angewandte Chemie, volume 47, page 653, 1934, in which she pointed out the possibility that when the uranium atom is irradiated with slow neutrons, it may break up into more than one fairly large fragments ... If she had done so, she might have been able to discover the process of fission much earlier than Hahn and Strassmann [December 1938] and she could have won the Nobel Prize. ...".
- WWII Japanese He also commented about three Japanese WWI nuclear bomb programs. His PhD thesis supervisor worked on one of these, if I remember correctly :
  "... After Kazuo Kuroda's death, BBC News reported [4] his widow returned secret atomic bomb plans missing from Japan for fifty-seven years (2002 - 1945 = 57 years). ...".

Of Mythology and Science

I learn things along the way, especially when I have to pull my foot out of my mouth.

nonsense, non-science, science, consciousness :
