The Electric Universe Pt3 of 4

Pulsars and Comets in the electric universe/plasma cosmology model. See this publication for some more info on this interpretation of pulsars, published and peer reviewed in the journal of astrophysics and space science; http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1995Ap&SS.227..229H A pulsar (pulsating star) is an astronomical object which produces a regular pulse of radio waves (electromagnetic radiation) which is conventionally thought to be due to a rotating neutron star. The Plasma Universe explains pulsars as a magnetospheric transmission line system. Also see this website for more information on electrical activity associated with comets and some other evidence supporting the electric model (with peer reviewed references); http://www.plasma-universe.com/index.php/Comet

In his works, he frequently advocated skeptical inquiry, secular humanism, and the scientific method. • http://www.carlsagan.com Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) was a German mathematician, astronomer and astrologer, and key figure in the 17th century scientific revolution. He is best known for his eponymous laws of planetary motion, codified by later astronomers based on his works "Astronomia nova", "Harmonices Mundi", and "Epitome of Copernican Astrononomy". They also provided one of the foundations for Isaac Newton's theory of universal gravitation. During his career, Kepler was a mathematics teacher at a seminary school in Graz, Austria, an assistant to astronomer Tycho Brahe, the court mathematician to Emperor Rudolf II, a mathematics teacher in Linz, Austria, and an adviser to General Wallenstein. He also did fundamental work in the field of optics, invented an improved version of the refracting telescope (the Keplerian Telescope), and helped to legitimize the telescopic discoveries of his contemporary Galileo Galilei. Kepler lived in an era when there was no clear distinction between astronomy and astrology, but there was a strong division between astronomy (a branch of mathematics within the liberal arts) and physics (a branch of natural philosophy). • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Kepler .

Stephen Hawking: Master of the Universe (Part 1 of 10)

"Stephen Hawking: Master of the Universe" (2008) Part 1: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YxxbXgo7IVw Part 2: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=c8ShC9VBQCs Part 3: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=To1rQNk08jo Part 4: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=3gox8PpNOPY Part 5: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=U8kmY6yvG4o Part 6: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=puXIw_bEqmU Part 7: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7zxBdm1bNGw Part 8: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=iejh5fgcvyc Part 9: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=hLSu3dCpYr8 Part 10: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=MT5vR5Xm5eA Runtime: 01:36:20 Stephen Hawking is the most famous scientist on the planet. In his post as Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University, he counts Sir Isaac Newton (1642--1727) amongst his predecessors. And he was born 300 years to the day after the avant-garde astronomer, Galileo Galilei (1564--1642). Following a devastating diagnosis of motor neurone disease in 1963, Hawking was given two years to live. Yet 44 years later, he still hopes to solve the big problem of physics, that of unifying quantum mechanics and Einstein's theory of relativity. Doing so will produce a set of laws that will explain everything in the universe, including how it all began - a breakthrough aptly dubbed the 'Theory of Everything'. Hawking felt that he was on the brink of this breakthrough a long time ago. When he published his surprising best-seller 'A Brief History of Time' in 1988, he expressed a certainty that the Theory of Everything was imminent. However, twenty years later, it still eludes Hawking and the scientific community. Frustratingly, Hawking's condition is worsening. His only way of communicating now is through one cheek muscle. Will he find the theory before it is too late? This two-episode documentary from the UK's Channel 4 is both a portrait of Hawking and an attempt to explain his work to non-scientific types. It conveys the basics of quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity in an easy-to-understand manner and does very well to acquaint viewers with Hawking's extraordinary life and character. A thoroughly enjoyable, inspiring and enlightening series!
