A Beginner's View of Our Electric Universe - New

Impact theory does seem to be the obvious ‘no-brainer’ answer to cratering. However, with a logical approach
and an awareness of the powerful electric force that exists in space, I suggest that among other good reasons, it is
mechanically improbable and conveniently too simplistic! Looking further, there are terrestrial clues considered
as acceptably analysed enough by astro-scientists and geologists for them to continue offering their analyses to
the public as settled fact. An example of this is the
1 kilometre in diameter Barringer crater in Arizona,
sometimes called ‘Meteor Crater’.

Despite the ludicrous sum (at the time) of 10 million
dollars in the early 1900s being spent over 27 years in
searching for the large and commercially attractive
iron meteorite that was assumed had been the cause
of it, no significant piece of that meteorite was ever
found. Since then, and because of this failure, it has
been assumed that the meteorite struck with such
force it had been vaporised together with any significant pieces of rubble from the Earth’s surface that might
reasonably have been expected to be found still lying around the area. Yes, there are absolutely no large telltale
pieces of rubble around the site of this crater, just a selection of fine debris. However, within this pebble and
dust-sized material, significant amounts of a type of quartz have been found, and it just so happens that this
quartz is the same as what we know is produced by lightning strikes on the ground. Moreover, the structure of
the ground beneath the crater shows no sign of being greatly disturbed as one might reasonably expect it would
be had it been the impact site of a large meteorite. In commercial and scientific terms, Barringer crater is an
example of substantial effort being put in based on limited information and little relevant scientific guidance,
the sum total of which was supported by assumption and wishful thinking that at the end of the day led nowhere
useful for anyone. So much for how we can dedicate ourselves to what we wish to be true [6-58] .
Around the time Barringer crater was being investigated, debate was going on in terms of the origin of craters
on the Moon; this included both the ‘scooped out’ and ‘flat-bottomed’ types. The favoured notion was that
they were the result of volcanic action, where in terms of the flat-bottomed types, an outflow of lava had
settled and cooled to form a smooth surface. Even the great flat expanses of the ‘Lunar Maria’ (the Moon’s socalled
seas) were awarded this explanation. However, when astronauts eventually went there it was found very
doubtful that the Moon ever had any kind of volcanic activity at all, so the ‘volcanism idea’ was changed to one
where the impact of rocks had broken through the surface crust to release molten material that had been lying
underneath.
