- "Confronted on many occasions in the past by the
prospect of world- end, national elites have often found themselves having
to suppress public panic -- only to discover, too late, that usual means
of control commonly fail. Thus an institutionalized science is expected
to withhold knowledge of the threat; a self-regulated press is expected
to make light of any disaster; while an institutionalized religion is
expected to oppose predestination and to secure such general belief in
a fundamentally benevolent deity as can be mustered."
-
- The above comments are found in a letter (dated June
4, 1996) from the office of Dr. P. A. Charles, then Head of Astrophysics
of the University of Oxford, to Ms. Victoria Cox, then Chief, Physics
and BMD Coordinator of the European Office of Aerospace Research and
Development. The letter (written by S V M Clube) summarizes the findings
of USAF funded research resulting in the report, The Hazard to Civilization
From Fireballs and Comets. This full letter may be read here:

-
- Although the report does not represent the electrical
perspective on comets and/or meteoroids, it raises many issues of enormous
import to the Electric Universe. As correctly pointed out by Clube, scientific,
governmental, and religious officialdom seem to live in either deliberate
or unconscious denial of the real global threats posed to Earth -- including
evidence of global catastrophes in the recent past. In 1950, Immanuel
Velikovsky proposed in his book Worlds in Collision that in a once-violent
and chaotic solar system, the earth experienced global disturbances, including
electric arcs passing between the earth and cosmic intruders. Subsequently,
academia applied such pressure to the book's publisher that it was dropped
while it was the NY Times' number one bestseller. This pathology of denial
and suppression continues today, as mainstream cosmology remains willfully
ignorant of the Electric Universe -- a model that rewrites much of human
history into a story that is far more dramatic and frightening than we've
been led to believe.
-
- Paradoxically, officialdom's lobbyists continually promote
fear of the End of the World in the hope of securing endless billions
in funds for more research and "action." The "doomsday"
asteroid threat and the global warming madhouse are the favored causes
of the moment. From the Electric Universe perspective, officialdom has
misled the public on both issues, and required is immediate and fundamental
correction.
-
- When it comes to "killer asteroids," according
to EU proponents, our planet may not be nearly so vulnerable as the mainstream
insists. From the EU perspective, as explained by Wallace Thornhill,
Earth, asteroids, and comets are charged bodies moving in the electric
field of the Sun. Thornhill believes that the charge difference between
the earth and these bodies from the depths of the solar system provides
the earth with a natural defense against asteroids and comets, particularly
very large ones. When an asteroid or comet enters the electric field of
the Earth, which is contained within its "magnetosophere," or
more accurately, plasma sheath, there will be a powerful discharge between
the two bodies.

-
- The internal electrical stress caused by the discharge
of the interloping asteroid or comet will generally cause it to detonate
like an exploding capacitor -- just as comets have frequently exploded
"inexplicably" as they moved toward the Sun on their elongated
orbits.

-
- This electrical effect is also witnessed in bolides that
flicker, flare up and explode as they streak toward the Earth. It is why
meteors become visible to the eye when they are about 60 miles in altitude,
and a few appear at up to twice that height. And it is why meteors are
sometimes accompanied by electrophonic sound that is simultaneous with
their flaring up.

-
- This is not to say that the Electric theorists believe
comets and asteroids pose no threat to human beings. But the havoc these
bodies might wreak would likely be limited to localized disasters --
perhaps a series of Tunguska-like events producing regional devastation
with falls of sand and dust, perhaps electrical craters, fires and earthquakes,
but no single impact crater at all.

-
- The devastation of a global extinction requires an encounter
with something much larger than a puny comet or asteroid. In all likelihood,
it requires electrical exchanges with a body the size of a planet or moon.
-
- On the question of global warming, EU proponents insist
that the issue has never been properly considered. Any attempt to understand
atmospheric and meteorologic phenomena on Earth or any planet is futile
if one remains ignorant of the Electric Sun model. Thornhill writes in
his essay "Global Warming in a Climate of Ignorance":
-
- "Simply put, we do not understand the Sun. And if
we do not understand the Sun we have no basis for understanding its influence
on the Earth's climate.
-
- "But there is a way to understand the Sun, if only
we can step outside the traditional astrophysical assumption that gravity
alone operates in space. The generation and transmission of power for
electric lights involves magnetism. And unlike any campfire, the Sun
manifests an abundance of magnetic phenomena. Those phenomena suggest
that the Sun is an electrical body. The magnetic field of the solar wind
shows that electric currents flow within the solar system. The million-degree
temperature of the solar corona points to an external power source for
the Sun. The polar plume and equatorial plasma torus show that the Sun,
like all stars, is the focus of galactic currents 'pinching' naturally
into an hourglass form with an equatorial current sheet."

-
- According to Thornhill, Earth and all the planets are
in a continuous electric relationship with the Sun. This is why the temperatures
of the upper atmospheres of planetary "gas giants" have long
presented a conundrum to astronomers. They are hotter than can be explained
by absorbed sunlight, and other attempts to explain the temperature anomalies
in mechanical terms have met with failure.
-
- In a recent report in the journal Nature, scientists
commented on the perplexing (to them) heating of Saturn's upper atmosphere:
"This unexplained 'energy crisis' represents a major gap in our
understanding of these planet's atmospheres." Another scientist commented,
"We need to re-examine our basic assumptions about planetary atmospheres
and what causes the observed heating."
-
- Unfortunately, the "basic assumption" that
has directed the space sciences for nearly a century is the belief that
space is electrically inert. Most astronomers and meteorologists still
do not realize what has already been demonstrated by recent discoveries
of the Earth-Sun connection: charge exchange is continuous, and the auroras
are just one effect of the ongoing electrical transactions. The planetary
theater is, in fact, filled with electrical circuits across the conducting
plasma medium.
-
- It is the electric model of the Sun that will enable
us to understand the highly energetic meteorological phenomena we see
on many planets in our solar system, including the extraordinary global
dust storms witnessed on Mars.
-
- See When Dust Storms Engulf Mars
- http://www.thunderbolts.info/tpod/2005/arch05/051109dustmars.htm
-
- In fact, in the famous planet-enshrouding Martian dust
storm of 2001, temperatures rose a stunning 40 degrees C -- what investigators
called a case of "instantaneous global warming." But to this
day, NASA scientists still give no attention to the relationship of that
event to the planet's eccentric orbit, or the fact that Mars was nearing
perihelion and was the closest it had been to Earth in about 12 years.
At that time it was also being "tickled" by the Earth's plasma
sheath, or magnetosphere, establishing a temporary electrical connection
between Earth and Mars for the transfer of charge. It seems that Mars
responded with an outburst of atmospheric discharges, these taking the
form of monstrous dust devils -- or more accurately, electrical tornadoes.

-
- From the EU perspective, interplanetary currents focused
largely on the sun feed electrical storms on planets, including Earth.
The increases in solar output, together with the incoming currents directly
intercepted by planets, can charge up the planetary ionospheres -- the
outcome being "anomalous" heating of the upper atmospheres.
-
- Since "global warming" is being witnessed on
other planets, including Mars (according to NASA, the planet has been
steadily warming for at least the past several decades), mainstream scientists
have greater cause than ever to "re-examine (their) basic assumptions
about planetary atmospheres and what causes the observed heating."
-
- But ironically, from the Electric Universe perspective,
the potential for global catastrophe on Earth, including rapid climate
change, may be far GREATER than most scientists believe. Our relationship
with the Electric Sun is far from purely benevolent. Within the last two
centuries, we have been hit (or nearly hit) with solar flares that may
have had the potential to eradicate civilization. In September of 1859,
we were wracked by a flare so powerful that telegraphic service went down,
equipment caught fire, and some people were even shocked into unconsciousness.
A new book "The Sun Kings: The Unexpected Tragedy of Richard Carrington
and the Tale of How Modern Astronomy Began," outlines the terrifying
danger posed by CME storms, including a series of powerful solar flares
that hit Earth during October 2003. This vision of a possible future stands
in radical contrast to the nuclear fusion model, which would have us believe
that the earth will exist rather peacefully in the Sun's domain for several
billion years, until its hypothetical cataclysmic death throes.

- Albert Einstein once asked, "Is the Universe friendly?"
Ultimately, the answer is probably a resounding "No!" although
not for the reasons we've always been told.
