Science For The 21st Century



The Universe, which is everything and anything that exists, is still a mystery to scientists. It is made up almost entirely of the two lightest elements, which are hydrogen and helium. All the rest of the matter in the Universe is very rare. Elements such as silicon, carbon and others are concentrated into clouds, stars and planets. The Universe is held together by four invisible forces, gravity and electromagnetism being the two most familiar. The other two kinds are strong and weak nuclear forces. These operate only inside the incredibly tiny nuclei of atoms, holding the tiny particles together.

The German physicist Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck, b. Apr. 23, 1858, d. Oct. 3, 1947, developed the concept of the quantum, or fundamental increment of energy--basic to Quantum Mechanics, and a cornerstone of modern physics. After receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Munich in 1879, Planck taught at the University of Kiel (1885-89) and the University of Berlin (1889-1926). His appointment at the latter institution included the directorship of the Institute of Theoretical Physics that was newly founded for him.

Planck began studying Blackbody Radiation in 1897 and discovered that at long wavelengths it did not obey the distribution laws given by Wilhelm Wien. This discovery led him to announce (1900) his revolutionary idea that an oscillator could emit energy only in discrete quanta, contrary to classical physical theory. The quantum theory--which gained Planck the Nobel Prize for physics in 1918--was used by Albert Einstein to explain (1905) the photoelectric effect and by Niels Bohr to propose (1913) a model of the atom with quantized electronic states; the theory was later developed into quantum mechanics. Planck mastered every aspect of physics from thermodynamics and electrodynamics to relativity and also wrote extensively on the philosophy of science.

Holoscience
One of the best sites dedicated to the Electric Universe and plasma cosmology. Developed and managed by Wallace Thornhill, this site's synopsis gives a great introduction and its archive contains all of his Holoscience articles over the past eight years.

Thunderbolts of the Gods
A top quality site that is very extensive because of its graphical presentations.

The Universe
The nature of space plasma according to Anthony Peratt. A long-time proponent of plasma cosmology, Peratt is an associate director of Los Alamos National Laboratories and one of the leading experts on high-energy plasma discharge. Lots of info on plasma and plasma cosmology.

Plasma Resources
A multi-dimensional site that is a great resource for learning about Plasma Cosmology and the Electric Universe.

Plasma Cosmology
This site offers a straightforward yet multi-dimensional  introduction to the Plasma Universe. An excellent source for newcomers.

http://www.quackgrass.com/time.html
Good fundamental philosophy on the nature and reality of what we mean by the word "time". Currently, "time" is reified by scientist-speculators as an actual dimension of what is called the space-time continuum. Author Michael Miller uses a very clear, yet painstaking approach to sorting out the issue.

http://www.quackgrass.com/space.html
Good fundamental philosophy on the nature of what we mean by the word "space". Currently, "space" is reified by scientist-speculators as an actual physical reality instead of a mental construct such as zero or infinity. Author Michael Miller again uses a very careful, clear, and convincing approach to sorting out the issue.

Selected Planet Mythology Articles

The Road to Saturn The story of Author Dwardu Cardona’s intellectual journey, a lifetime devoted to the reconstruction of ancient times involving the central figure of the original, best sun—Saturn.

The Saturn Thesis An In-depth Interview with David Talbott, perhaps best known for his 1980 book, The Saturn Myth, has been researching the Saturnian reconstruction of ancient times since the 1970s. Since then he has published much about the subject. Following a November 1994 symposium held in Portland, Oregon, Talbott decided to devote his time to the production of a series of videos, in lieu of the written word, through which he intends to better illustrate his Saturnian thesis. Throughout the years, continuing research has modify and improve various aspects of his unfolding Saturnian scenario, although the basic premise behind it remains unchanged. In an endeavor to clarify his present understandings, he has granted AEON time for a series of interviews, of which the following is, hopefully, only the first.

Samson Revealed An in-depth study of the myths concerning Samson and how it relates to the ancient mythology surrounding the planet-god Mars.

Aphrodite Revealed Throughout the ancient world, one is everywhere confronted by the numen of the mother goddess. Intimately associated with a seemingly endless array of phenomena -- love, birth, death, fertility, war, weaving, magic, kingship, marriage, maidenhood, mourning, etc. -- the goddess was invoked at most of the principal rituals and functions that characterize culture. Her titles, befitting her many areas of influence, are legion: Queen of Heaven, Warrior, Kore, Harlot, Mother Earth, Queen of the Underworld, etc. If her cult is no longer as all-pervasive as it once was, it is still very much alive, having been gradually sublimated and assimilated into countless niches of modern religious experience.

Some pointed quotes about the plasma paradigm:

"In studying this Fourth state of Matter we seem at length to have within our grasp and obedient to our control the little indivisible particles which with good warrant are supposed to constitute the physical basis of the universe. … We have actually touched the border land where Matter and Force seem to merge into one another, the shadowy realm between Known and Unknown which for me has always had peculiar temptations. I venture to think that the greatest scientific problems of the future will find their solution in this Border Land, and even beyond …" [W. Crookes, On Radiant Matter; A Lecture Delivered to the British Association for the Advancement of Science at Sheffield, Friday, August 22, 1879 (London: E. J. Davey, 1879): 29f.]

"The simplicity of such a system is singularly beautiful, the idea grand, and worthy of Newton's approbation. It was what the ancients believed, and it may be what a future race will realise." (M. Faraday, 'On Radiant Matter', lecture given at the City Philosophical Society, 1816). [B. Jones (ed.), The Life and Letters of Faraday (1 of 2; London: Longmans, Green and Co., 18702): 196]
