So, the planet so far thus year has not been good to us, so let's see what space has got instead.

Hot Stars are Plagued by Giant Magnetic Spots, ESO Data Shows

Astronomers using European Southern Observatory (ESO) telescopes have discovered giant spots on the surface of extremely hot stars hidden in stellar clusters. Not only are these stars plagued by magnetic spots, some also experience superflare events, explosions of energy several million times...

A bit of doom, real serious doom. A weakened magnetosphere could be pretty bad for life on earth. Space weather can effect our heart and brain health as it is, more so as our shield weakens.

Maybe try reading it?

The mystery of the missing matter has vexed cosmologists for some 20 years. This elusive material isn’t the invisible, unidentified dark matter that makes up most of the mass in the universe. It’s ordinary matter, composed of garden-variety particles called baryons, such as protons and neutrons

Dark matter may not actually exist – and our alternative theory can be put to the test

Scientists have been searching for "dark matter" – an unknown and invisible substance thought to make up the vast majority of matter in the universe – for nearly a century. The reason for this persistence is that dark matter is needed to account for the fact that galaxies don't seem to obey the...

of course. (I'm going to watch some videos before I post them, to make sure they're relevant, gonna take few hours)

See, you weren't condescending, I wasn't rude to you

 

[xes]

O.K, I'm only 12 minutes into this, but it goes some way to explain why the red shift calculations must be wrong. You have galaxies, and quasars, supposedly hundreds or thousands of light years apart, according to the red shift calculations, but they seem to be physically connected with filaments. Which puts them much closer together.



(and I hope we all saw the galaxies and stars found that are far older than we age the universe, fully formed galaxies that are over 14 billions years old etc)

 

[Saul Goodman]

of course. (I'm going to watch some videos before I post them, to make sure they're relevant, gonna take few hours)

I'd like to have a look. Only recently I was watching a TV series on dark matter/energy, anti-particles, etc. I'd like to see some opposing material.

I missed this first time round, didn't realise that the galactic current sheet had been confirmed. Let's surf the Radcliffe wave (not that we have a choice)

 

[stavros]

So, the planet so far thus year has not been good to us,

And we've reciprocated.

 

[xes]

So, if the radcliffe wave was something bad, maybe causing a magnetic excursion (which could explain what's happening with our planetary magnetics) we could look back at stars that have passed through it and see if it had any effect, or at least if anything happened around the time that they would have been passing through. It's a bit rough round the edges, but could it be classed as anecdotal evidence?

 

[NoXion]

The Electric Universe idea is bunk and the Thunderbolts Project channel on YouTube are a bunch of cranks. They don't publish anything in reputable peer-reviewed scientific journals. They deny well-established scientific facts like stellar fusion and the dominance of gravity in shaping the large-scale structures of the universe.

 

[xes]

There are lots of recent scientific discoveries that hint toward plasma and electromagnetic forces as being the main driving forces of the cosmos. And pseudo skeptics like matey you posted, wont wash. Tenuous links to flat earthers to discredit straight from the off. (easy spot) Many times these discoveries 'baffle' the scientific community, these guys will say, well, we said this a few years ago in this video.

And it's funny, Anthony Peratt has lots of published scientific work in plasma physics. (fairly recently another world leading plasma physicist said that Peratt's explanation of the glyphs is the most probable, but I'm sure a youtuber knows far more than world leading plasma physicists)

So, more pseudo skeptic arsery. Another good spot of total quackery like this debunking video, is his reactions to being challenged. (in the comments)



And if a black hole is really at the center of a galaxy, why are there star forming regions closer to the center than they should exist? Gas should be getting ripped apart, not forming into stars.

Not from the boys at the Thunderbolts Project there isn't. They don't do science, and they don't publish in journals, so what basis do you have for saying this?

And pseudo skeptics like matey you posted, wont wash. Tenuous links to flat earthers to discredit straight from the off. (easy spot)

Electric Universe proponents display the same kind of behaviour as Flat Earthers. They're just less obviously wrong.

Many times these discoveries 'baffle' the scientific community, these guys will say, well, we said this a few years ago in this video.

If that was true, then they would publish papers rather than post YouTube videos. Scientists might be baffled by some things, but at least they're honest and admit that, rather than claiming to have insight without being able to actually demonstrate it through making scientific predictions.

As Dave said in his video, some of the people pushing this stuff have actual qualifications. Doesn't mean that they're not being cranks by doing so.

So, more pseudo skeptic arsery. Another good spot of total quackery like this debunking video, is his reactions to being challenged. (in the comments)

Dave's reactions have got fuck-all to do with the fact that the Electric Universe is scientifically bogus. If there was anything to their claims beyond the kernel of truth around which they wrap their bullshit, then they would be publishing papers while revolutionising our understanding of physics. EU proponents would be able to make predictions and have them validated by observation. This doesn't happen.

And if a black hole is really at the center of a galaxy, why are there star forming regions closer to the center than they should exist? Gas should be getting ripped apart, not forming into stars.

This is exactly the kind of question that a Flat Earther would ask. On what basis do you say that gas cannot form stars in the galactic centre under current models?

 

[xes]

So, low current plasma filaments, connect planets to each other and to stars, stars to stars, galaxies to galaxies, galaxy clusters to galaxy clusters, but it's most certainly nothing at all like a circuit. And the galactic current sheet, has nothing at all to do with any kind of current or electromagnetic forces what so ever? Stars forming in the Z pinch of giant filaments, but obviously total bollocks.

So, all spooky dark matter, which that no matter how hard they look, can never find. Even though electromagnetic forces are well documented, you can even see the helical shapes over vast distances. (best way for...what to travel?)


keep trying, you've given nothing real in return. Just refuting without actual reasoning.

Now, I'm getting pissed and doing gardening. Toodles. I'll check back to see if you can find me someone with actual credentials.
