Debate still goes on around these and other things and<br />
for enlightened geologists the questions that arise are<br />
far from being settled. With the background <strong>of</strong> what we<br />
now know about plasma discharge ubiquity and power<br />
it seems worth considering that the Grand Canyon was<br />
machined out <strong>of</strong> the Earth’s surface by an EDM type<br />
event in the distant past. After this event it is likely that<br />
its then freshly exposed surfaces were indeed eroded<br />
to some small degree by wind and rain. One wonders<br />
what today’s geologists would say if evidence that<br />
electrical action had taken place was found.<br />

Take a really close look at the intricate pattern <strong>of</strong> the Grand<br />
Canyon in the pictures provided to see the network <strong>of</strong> main<br />
branches and the hierarchy <strong>of</strong> smaller branches running from<br />
them. Does this remind you <strong>of</strong> a pattern that you may have seen<br />
in other places? For the point I am attempting to make here, I<br />
can tell you that this is the pattern that an electrical discharge<br />
will produce both internally and on the surface <strong>of</strong> a body. It is<br />
called a ‘Lichtenberg Figure’ and an example produced in a<br />
laboratory is shown clearly in this image [6-70a] .<br />

The association to be drawn here is highly significant, for we can see this same pattern being repeated in many<br />
geological formations on solid bodies in our solar system and also in many locations on Earth, such as the<br />
Grand Canyon. Lichtenberg type figures can also be found in a wide variety <strong>of</strong> locations across Earth from the<br />
deep ocean floor to vast open plains and to mountain tops. If you look at detailed satellite imagery you will see<br />
many examples that would traditionally be described as the results <strong>of</strong> water flowing from melting glaciers or<br />
widespread powerful flooding in ancient times. Some <strong>of</strong> this will <strong>of</strong> course be true but can we honestly put all<br />
the Lichtenberg figure patterns on Earth down to these causes? Please understand that this is not an attempt to<br />
dismiss good theory, it is rather a reminder to look closely and to make up one’s own mind in the knowledge that<br />
the science behind these matters is not settled as a done deal. Now we will look at Valles Marineris on Mars.<br />
