Welcome to Space News from the Electric
Universe, brought to you by The Thunderbolts Project at Thunderbolts.info.
New scientific reports may provide insights into catastrophic events that
once occurred on the planet Mars. Scientists at an observatory in Northern
Ireland have conducted analysis of nine asteroids that orbit Mars, called Trojans,
and they've come to the conclusion that the asteroids are the remains of a
former planet. The team discovered that the so-called Trojans appear to be
composed of the same material including the mineral olivine which only forms at
extremely high temperatures and is thought to be associated with planetary
collisions. The team has concluded that the asteroids orbiting Mars are pieces
of a former mini planet or planetesimal which was destroyed eons ago by
collisions. Those who have followed The Thunderbolts Project may understand why
neither mechanical collisions nor a hypothetical former planet are necessary
to explain the asteroids formation. For decades, the chief principals of The
Thunderbolts Project, Dave Talbott and Wal Thornhill, have proposed a very different
history for Mars and all of the planets in the inner solar system. In ancient
myth, Mars was identified as both the warrior hero and as his own weapon, the
cosmic thunderbolt. Thornhill and Talbott state that Mars was devastated by
electrical discharges in an epoch of planetary instability in the relatively
recent past, perhaps several thousand years ago in prehistory. As "radical
as a theory may seem" it explains and in fact continues to successfully predict
countless discoveries that only prove puzzling to planetary scientists. More
than six miles of crustal depth was mysteriously removed from the Martian
northern hemisphere. Consider also the many millions of cubic kilometers
excavated from Mars in the formation of the stupendous feature known as Valles
Marineris. Material from Mars still occasionally strikes the earth in the
form of mysterious meteorites. Indeed, the discovery of Martian
meteorites was treated with great initial skepticism
since astronomers could not envision the escaped material reaching the necessary
velocities to bring the material to Earth. If electrical discharges did in
fact devastate the Red Planet from pole to pole,
both the, so called, Trojan asteroids and the presence of the mineral olivine are
to be expected. No collisions with former planets are necessary. The mineral
olivine presented a puzzle when it was discovered, completely unexpectedly, on a
comet. Such was the case with the Stardust's next
mission to the comet Wild 2 in 2004. NASA investigators were amazed to
discover olivine, and other minerals that only form at super hot temperatures, and
dust samples from a so-called "dirty snowball." As NASA curator Michael
Zolensky said at the time, "That's a big surprise. People thought comets would
just be cold stuff that formed out ... where things are very cold. It was kind of a
shock to not just find one but several of these, which implies they are pretty
common in the comet." In fact, in the Electric Universe hypothesis, comets,
asteroids and meteoroids did not accrete billions of years ago in the solar
system's infancy but they were in fact torn from planetary surfaces by
electrical discharges. NASA scientists were also amazed to discover the mineral
tridymite, on Mars, which only forms at extremely high temperatures and is
thought to result from a kind of volcanism never suspected on Mars. As
NASA geochemist Richard Morris said of the discovery, "It's really nifty, but we
were shocked ... There is no evidence for plate tectonics on Mars. That's why it's
such a surprise to find this tridymite." However, as noted in a recent Space News
report, tridymite has been reported to form as a product of lightning in a
roofing slate, as documented in the book The Data Of Geochemistry. In the
feature-length documentary film, The Lightning Scarred Planet Mars, detailed
analysis is given of countless geological features on Mars that find
ideal analogs in laboratory experiments with electrical discharges.
One such example is the towering Olympus Mons, a nearly 22 kilometer high,
so-called, shield volcano and the tallest mountain of any planet in the solar
system. As noted in the film, this shield volcano interpretation of Olympus Mons
presents far more enigmas than answers. The defining feature of a shield volcano
is a gentle extrusion of fluid or low viscosity lava. Shield volcanoes on Earth
do not present a scarp whereas the scarp of Olympus Mons towers a nearly four
miles high. A NASA report freely acknowledges, "The scarp is of unknown
origin..." And... "The steep cliff around Olympus Mons is peculiar and not characteristic
of terrestrial shield volcanoes." But perhaps most striking of all may be the
blanket of incredibly fine filamentary ridges and ravines within the terrain of
Olympus Mons. In fact, the continuing discovery of perplexing dendritic
patterns on Mars is a key prediction of the Electrical Scarring hypothesis. New
images taken by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter reveal precisely
the kinds of features expected from electrical discharges. Consider this
recently released image of the terrain within the 10-kilometer Zunil crater on
Mars. Scientists insist that the crater was produced by an impact but they have
no real explanation for the raised dendritic features associated with
secondary craters within the crater. NASA's description of the image reads as
follows, "Secondary craters form from rocks
ejected at high speed from the primary crater, which then impact the ground at
sufficiently high speed to make huge numbers of much smaller craters over a
large region....In this scene, however, the secondary crater ejecta has an unusual
raised-relief appearance, like bas-relief sculpture." The best guess
that NASA can offer is that the so-called impact crater has been
mysteriously weathered over eons of time. The agency states, "One idea is that the
region was covered with a layer of fine-grained materials like dust or
pyroclastics about 1 to 2 meters thick when the Zunil impact occurred
(about a million years ago), and the ejecta
served to harden or otherwise protect the fine-grained layer from later
erosion by the wind." But experimental research within the Electric Universe
community provides far more promising possibilities. One such experiment,
conducted by Billy Yelverton, produced raised dendritic ridges simply by
applying intense vibrations to soil. Consider also this experiment, performed
by YouTube user diveflyfish, subjecting aluminum foil to electrical discharge.
Indeed we have called the Martian environment a "laboratory in space,
ideal for testing the concepts of electric universe geology." It was well
over a decade ago that physicist dr. C.J. Ransom of Vemasat laboratories was able
to reproduce the mysterious, so-called, Martian blueberries by blasting
quantities of hematite with an electric arc. Only one of many such pathways of
investigation, as repeatedly outlined on this series as well as many dozens of
The Picture Of the Day articles on Thunderbolts.info. Electrical discharges produce
effects that could account for much of the consistently bizarre Martian geology.
Space discovery today routinely provides surprising discoveries about the Martian
environment. As human exploration brings Mars into ever finer focus, we
confidently predict that the evidence will continue to mount for catastrophic
events that left their indelible imprint on the Red Planet.
