Solar System As An Electrical Transformer
Of the many mysteries we’ve explored on this series, perhaps those in our own celestial neighborhood stand out the greatest. From consistently surprising atmospheric phenomena on planets, including the Earth, to the enigmatic behaviors of comets, to the ongoing puzzles of the Sun, the evidence for the electrical connectedness throughout the solar system grows with each new discovery. In recent decades, the discovery of completely baffling exoplanet systems have led some astronomers to acknowledge the need for a whole new theory of planet and star formation. In part one of this two part episode, Dr. Michael Clarage, a scientist on the SAFIRE project team, proposes a foundation for a new…

Ben Davidson: Promising Electric Universe Investigations
At the EU2016 conference in Phoenix, Arizona, members of the Electric Universe community joined to explore new paths of discovery. A featured speaker at the conference was Ben Davidson, the founder of the online research community, Suspicious0bservers, which primarily focuses on space weather, including the Earth/Sun connection. Recently, Ben co-authored a paper published in a peer-reviewed journal on the Sun’s role in earthquakes. Today, we asked Ben to share his thoughts on the most promising lines of investigations for the Electric Universe theory.
