Top 10 Reasons the Universe is Electric: #1 Cosmic Magnetic Fields
This episode marks the beginning of a special 10-part series, "Top 10 Reasons the Universe is Electric." In this first chapter, we explore the significance of the astrophysical enigma of pervasive cosmic magnetic fields. Basic physics classes teach that electric currents produce magnetic fields. But why is this law of physics almost nowhere evident in the standard astrophysical literature? Plasma physics and electrical engineering hold the key to explaining the origins of powerful magnetic fields throughout the cosmos.

Top 10 Reasons the Universe is Electric: #2 Filaments in Space
Electric currents flowing through space plasmas can be recognized through their distinct filamentary shape. With remarkable advances in space telescopes, we see today in unprecedented detail filamentary structures that pervade the visible universe at all scales. The appearances of these unique structures have proved puzzling far more often than not to astronomers. In this episode, we explore why filamentation throughout the cosmos is just one of ten reasons why the Universe is electric.

Modulation of Solar Wind Energy Flux Input on
Global Tropical Cyclone Activity
. Summary
Many studies presented that solar variability do play an significant role in affecting the Earth’s climate change. Almost all of previous studies focused on
the effects of solar total irradiation energy. As the second major source, the solar wind energy flux exhibits more significant long-term variations, but its
effect has been rarely concerned. Although the energy content of solar wind energy flux is of 4-5 orders lower than that of irradiation energy, its long-term
variation is much more significant.
For the first time, we find the evidence that the modulation of the solar wind energy flux on the global tropical cyclone activity, and propose a plausible
mechanism. We believe this will open a new window to discuss the natural driver of the climate change. In this study, the global tropical cyclone activity is found
to be modulated by solar wind energy flux, but not the solar irradiation and the Earth’s weather and climate parameters. A possible mechanism is proposed and
some evidences are also presented. The findings are helpful to our understanding of solar impact on the Earth’s climate change. More attentions on solar wind
energy flux is suggested to be paid in the future studies.

The Sun/Natural Disaster Connection
In this episode, Thunderbolts Project colleague Ben Davidson, the founder of Suspicious0bservers.org, discusses the possible connection between intense solar activity and natural disasters on Earth, including the recent Mexico quakes, powerful hurricanes, and other dramatic natural events.

Top 10 Reasons the Universe is Electric: #3 Cosmic Jets
It is a mystery that space science must confront: What force is capable of producing high-energy jets spanning not millions of miles, but many light-years across the cosmos? What confines the jets to narrow streams across cosmic distances, and what prevents the so-called streams of gas from dispersing in the “vacuum” of space? We explore this question and more in part three of our ongoing video series, "Top Ten Reasons the Universe is Electric."

Dirty Snowballs Falsified – NASA Fails to Notice
Today, we explore stunning new developments in comet science that provide remarkable affirmation of the electric comet theory. Scientists using the Hubble telescope recently spotted the most distant active comet ever observed, at the incredible distance of 1.5 billion miles away, or about 16 Astronomical Units. In the same week, the ESA released over 1000 images of the comet 67P nucleus, imaged by the Rosetta probe. On the comet surface, we see undeniably planetary features, including stratified rock. In this episode, we explain why these amazing discoveries are completed expected in the Electric Universe.

Comets: Discovery vs. Belief
Today we continue our discussion of recent devastating discoveries for the standard dirty snowball hypothesis of comets, including the recently released amazing images of stratified rock on Comet 67P. And we delve much deeper into the electric universe predictions and explanations of comet origins and comet activity.

IT'S THE SUN STUPID

Hurricanes and Solar Storms | Mechanism of Action
New Study on Sun/Storms:
Abstract
An analysis of temperature changes in warm and cold air masses of extratropical cyclones in both hemispheres with their movement during geomagnetic disturbances at the minimum of solar activity was performed. The location and movement of air masses of cyclones was determined by thermobaric maps at the 500 hPa level. In the conditions of a classical cyclogenesis, a warm air mass cools from day to day, while the cold air mass warms up. During geomagnetic disturbances, favorable conditions for increasing intensity and cyclone lifetime are formed, i.e., in a warm air mass, the temperature increases at heights lower than 300 hPa, while a cold air mass warms up more slowly. The distributions of the temperature of air masses of extratropical cyclones were shown to change due to the changes in geomagnetic activity.

Top 10 Reasons the Universe is Electric #4: Light Bulbs in Space
In Number 4 of our ongoing series, "The Top Ten Reasons the Universe is Electric," we explore an ongoing astrophysical enigma -- the Fermi Bubbles, giant gamma ray structures which scientists have dubbed "incandescent bulbs screwed into the center of the galaxy." In this episode, we explore why such a feature is both explicable and predictable in the Electric Universe.
