A REMINDER: EU2013 SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

Is it possible that a new generation of scientists could arise, one with a passion for discovery and fully supported by the explosion of new technologies and limitless potential for creative expression? We have chosen to expand our program of conference scholarships to young scientists and prospective members of the EU community.

STEPHEN CROTHERS AND MAE WAN HO SCHEDULED TO SPEAK AT EU 2013

With this Update we will begin announcing some of the exceptional speakers scheduled for our January 3-6 conference, ELECTRIC UNIVERSE 2013—The Tipping Point.
http://www.thunderbolts.info/wp/2012/09/02/eu2013-conference-the-tipping-point-2/

MAE WAN HO is an internationally distinguished geneticist and biophysicist, best known for original work on the physics of organisms. Her specialty has been given different names, but we prefer "The Electricity of Life."  She is a longstanding critic of genetic modification.  Now her mission includes a global initiative to reclaim science and art for the public good. But there is no way to adequately incapsulate Maewan’s scholarly and scientific achievements in a brief review.  For details please see her curriculum vitae here:
http://www.i-sis.org.uk/MWHcv.php
------------------

STEPHEN CROTHERS is is a preeminent mathematician, counted amongst the most competent critics of modern cosmology (including both the General Theory of Relativity and popular theory of the Big Bang). He has also gained much attention for his systematic unravelling of standard Black Hole theory. His criticisms of the core tenets of contemporary theory have been reviewed and accepted by independent experts in the affected fields, despite the fact that his heresy was so troubling to orthodox scientists that he was forced out of the PhD program at the School of Physics at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney, Australia.

The math is advanced, but the implications for the culture of science could not be more compelling.

"REAL MARS MYSTERIES FOR NASA'S CURIOSITY"

With the successful landing of the Mars rover Curiosity, NASA scientists will have new opportunities for discovery on the Martian surface. But will investigators be willing to question longstanding assumptions?  It is now clear that the enigmas of the Martian surface flatly preclude the common theories applied to explain them.

Mountains of Evidence

‘Plasma mythology’ may be defined as the study of plasmas, specifically near-earth plasmas, in human traditions, such as mythology and proto-scientific records. If this is a discipline, one of its most notable pioneers must be the French savant, Jean-Jacques d’Ortous de Mairan (1678-1771).

The Electronic Sun / Donald Scott

Retired professor of electrical engineering Donald Scott discusses a transistor-like effect active on our Sun and regulating solar output, an effect that places the Sun squarely in the category of a glow discharge phenomenon. Longstanding mysteries disappear when seen through the lens of an electric sun


Returning Science to Real Physics / Wallace Thornhill

Leading EU proponent Wal Thornhill takes us back to the fundamentals of the natural sciences before theoretical physics became a playground for mathematicians. “Mathematics is not physics,” he says, and the absolute requirement is that observation and experiment lead the way, inviting mathematicians to complete a picture, not build one on a foundation of mere abstractions.


Seeking the Third Story / David Talbott

This first of two talks by David Talbott provides an overview of human history, from the myth-making epoch to the rise of modern science. What will history look like, when we see the ancient past in terms of the archetypal accord between all of the early cultures? This video includes the initial presentation in full.


The Role of Water in the Electric Body / Gerald Pollack

Distinguished professor of bio-engineering Gerald Pollack introduces the remarkable electrical and plasma-like qualities of water, with attributes that can only expand our ideas about the Electricity of Life.  This rapidly growing dimension of the Electric Universe paradigm has now opened up entirely new avenues for us, into one of the leading edges of theoretical science.


Plasma Behavior in the Floating Water Bridge & Biology / Rorbert Johnson

The British proponent of the Electric Universe, Robert Johnson, expands on Gerald Pollack’s work, to show the remarkable similarities between the “floating water bridge” and a Birkeland Current, all the way down to a stable annulus and core-like structure, a bi-directional flow of charged particles, and a rotating outer layer that can be understood in electrodynamic terms.


Comets, Meteors, and Asteroids / Wallace Thornhill

One of the foremost advantages of the Electric Universe paradigm is its predictive success—at a level of undisputed discovery. Only an electrified solar system, centered on the Sun, will explain the things we now know about comets. The dirty snowball theory has failed virtually test, and the origins of comets cannot be separated from the origins of meteors and asteroids.


It is an Electric Universe After All / Charles William Lucas Jr.

Another exceptional talk by Dr. Bill Lucas, detailing the electrodynamic underpinnings of gravity.  The result is to remove the contradictions of the gravity-centric universe of so many popular speculations in cosmology.  The “paradoxical” movements of galactic arms then become predictable, with no need for dark matter. And numerous other failings of common theory are exposed as well.


Human Metabolism Meets Cosmic Metabolism / James Oschman

What is “earthing”?  Perhaps no talk provoked more skepticism on the front end than that of Dr. James Oschman. But it turns out that concrete evidence does support the concept of an electrical connection between a human being and the Earth.  Electron flow from earth to the human body involves some well-tested healing effects.


The Electrodynamic Pulse of Life / Charles William Lucas, Jr.

Dr Bill Lucas reviews some extraordinary work in the field of bio-electricity.  The electric pulse of life takes biology far beyond the mechanistic doctrines that dominated medicine and the life sciences just a few decades ago.


The Catastrophic Termination of the Last Ice Age / Robert Schoch

Easter Island petroglyphs and script find a new interpretation by geologist Dr. Robert Schoch, who compares them to the extraordinary plasma forms enumerated by plasma scientist Anthony Peratt.


The Failed Attempts to Detect Macro Lensing / Edward Dowdye, Jr.

Contrary to what we’ve been told for decades, gravity does not bend light, according to Dr. Edward Dowdye, a former LASER Electro-Optics Engineer (retired) at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

NPA'S 2012 JOHN CHAPPELL LECTURE: ED STORMS ON COLD FUSION

"Low energy nuclear reaction" (LENR)—a pipe dream, or a potential source of cheap energy? Dr. Edmund Storms, now retired from Los Alamos Laboratories, has followed the twists and turns of the Cold Fusion debate from the beginning. Today he is amongst the world's leading experts on the subject, having monitored numerous frantic attempts to reproduce results first announced by Pons and Fleischmann in 1989, including decades of quiet research long after the bubble seemed to burst in the face of scientific condemnation.

A Ph.D. in radiochemistry and author of over seventy reviewed publications, monographs and books, Dr. Storms conducted basic research at Los Alamos in high temperature chemistry of materials used in nuclear power and propulsion reactors. Even in retirement, Storms continues to investigate "cold fusion" in his own Sante Fe laboratory. Now he is ready to share with the NPA the findings of his twenty-plus-year study.

"What is Cold Fusion and Why Should You Care?" will be this year's John Chappell Memorial lecture, an annual event sponsored by the NPA to honor the most significant contributions to the advancement of science.  (Last year's lecture was by Electric Universe proponent Wallace Thornhill.)  Though the cold fusion effect has been reproduced hundreds of times since 1989, a satisfying theory to explain the behavior and to give it quantifiable predictability remains elusive. In his paper and corresponding lecture, Dr. Storms will describe the paradoxes that a good theory must explain, and he will share his own views on what is actually occurring in the more promising experiments.

NEW DVD—GERALD POLLACK AND ROBERT JOHNSON

Two outstanding lectures at the first annual Thunderbolts conference earlier this year are offered in this most recent DVD production from Mikamar Publishing.  Both lectures highlight the electricity of life as a vital part of the electric universe paradigm.

1. Gerald Pollack: "The Role of Water in the Electric Body"
The role of water is a key to our understanding how biological systems work. The human body is 99% water molecules. At the interface of cellular material these water molecules become a highly structured liquid crystal medium. This liquid crystal carries charge and is in dynamic relationship to the charge of tissue in the body and the electromagnetic energy of the surrounding environment.

Dr. Pollack is a professor in the bioengineering department of the University of Washington. He has
spent the last 10 years researching the role of water in biological tissue. His discoveries could have a profound impact on the nature of disease and healing.
                                                                      .....................

2. Robert Johnson: "Plasma Behavior in the Floating Water Bridge and Biology"
Filamentary current flow with self-organizing electromagnetic structure is a fundamental mode of transport in plasma. Application of the same principles to the Floating Water Bridge phenomenon and to tubular biological flows reveals insights into hitherto unexplained behavior in both cases.

Mr. Johnson is an independent researcher, a longstanding supporter of the Plasma Universe paradigm,
and author of the original outline for the “Essential Guide to the Electric Universe.”

NPA CONFERENCE, JULY 25-28, 2012

Just a quick reminder. If you're not yet sure about attending the upcoming event, please keep in mind that important announcements will be coming in the weeks ahead. Best to keep the calendar clear if the possibility of your attendance is still open.  Wal Thornhill, Don Scott, and David Talbott are already scheduled to give presentations. New dimensions continue to open up in front of us as a result of our own world conference in January, and this includes cooperation with the best of the NPA on a new vision of "future science" with its highest emphasis on experimental confirmation.
