A Beginner's View of Our Electric Universe - New

The similarities between this chasm
on Mars the ‘Red Planet’ and our
image of the Grand Canyon are
striking. All of the main features
seem to be alike in so many respects;
the steep sides and flat floor areas,
the complicated major and minor
gully systems and the meandering
appearance of some branches that
look suspiciously like the results of
a lightning strike [6-70b] .

According to the standard view, Mars is a dry and cold planet that has abundant water trapped in a frozen state
under its surface and especially at its poles. Further speculation is that any substantial atmosphere it may have
had in the past was lost to space through forces yet to be explained satisfactorily by astro-science. Looking at
the surface of Mars today you would be right to come up with questions about what we see there; crisp clean
features that often look highly unusual and as if they were formed not too long ago. There are many deep
channels in the surface of Mars of which Valles Marineris is the best known. Just like other much smaller,
but just as cleanly formed, gouges that look as if they have been neatly machined out of Mars’ surface, Valles
Marineris abounds with clues that scream out to us that it was not formed by flowing liquid or by surface crust
displacement or collapse. All these things are puzzling and many assumptions have been made in the attempts
put forward to explain them. However, the tendency to guess at things has backfired and highlighted the fact that
what works for Earth cannot be transferred to Mars and be expected to work similarly there.
Things become much clearer if we consider that most of Mars’ features are the result of tremendous plasma
discharge events originating from space, perhaps in the not so distant past. We have already mentioned the
similarity of shapes produced, especially around the edges of Valles Marineris, with that of lightning’s tell-tale
Lichtenberg pattern. On close inspection these edges show neatly scooped-out features that have a distinctly
repeated scalloped form to them. These clean scalloped edges and the various scales of Lichtenberg patterns on
the inside walls of Valles Marineris provide significant indicative evidence that counters the claim that a great
volume of liquid flow in the past or that some form of crustal splitting has been responsible for the formation of
that gargantuan scar. There is no supporting evidence for seismic upheaval on Mars ever having taken place in
the past so it seems that Valles Marineris cannot be explained through earth-bound geological theories and that
EDM action is once more the likely cause.
