Evidence for the Anisotropy of the Speed of Light
The Beckmann model is considered in relation to both the Electric
Universe perspective of a charged Earth and to the actual non-null
results of the various Michelson-Morley-type experiments. It is
demonstrated that the Beckmann model is consistent with both concepts.
Furthermore, application of the ... Click here for more information

Electrodynamic Origin of Gravitational Forces
From the derived universal classical electrodynamic contact force law
for finite-size elastic particles the force of gravity is identified as
a statistical residual force of the fourth order term in v/c due to the
vibration of neutral electric dipoles consisting primarily of atomic
electrons and nuc... Click here for more information

A Distant View of Physics
Some cult theories of physics suffer from anthropocentric views.
Dogmatizing the observer's role, his impressions or influence opens the
door to questionable conclusions, like giving a transformation the
status of a natural law, relying on "predictive powers" of light and
tying its velocity to the o... Click here for more information

The Theory of Mercury's Anomalous Precession

results were corrected in 1895 by Simon Newcomb, who increased the
anomalous shift by about 1... Click here for more information

True Planetary Motions and Rhythmic Climatic Changes

Observation of the moving sun is the key to long-term forecasting.
Brilliant minds like that of Milankovich, Einstein, Carl Sagan, et al
made the same mistake. Not one of them made their projections relative
to a moving sun. It never occurred to them that they should make their
projections on planet... Click here for more information

Keeping One's Eye on the Ball
Previous work defending the thesis that all physical phenomena may be

gravitation is reviewed. In sum, matter is described as gradient fields
of charge and mass inextricably connected in the proton and electron.
Energy is described as... Click here for more information

sense contextual, possibly dependent on both location and to a certain
extent direction.... Click here for more information

Get ?Real' About Gravity
There are concerns about the progress of physics in the last 100 years

to understanding the universe? An alternative scientific perspective
can be useful and revealing. An example was the change from the
geocentric to the helioce... Click here for more information

Lava Flows from Disruption of Crust at the Antipode of Large Meteorite Impacts
It is proposed here that when seismic waves radiate out from large
meteorite impacts on a planet they converge at the antipode and disrupt
the crust so severely that large lava fields are created. Some examples
are given for Earth.
We propose that the large lava flows on the Earth and Mars resu... Click here for more information

Einstein's Most Important Philosophical Error
A single philosophical error on Einstein's part has retarded physics

universe presents us with two fundamental phenomena: matter and the
motion of matter. Matter exists; mo... Click here for more information
