    So for this epidode I had on the late great Wal Thornhill. An Australian Physicist who defied the norm and went on the path of the Electric Universe.

    The "Electric Universe" phrase refers to the theory that electricity plays a significant role in the Universe. Immanuel Velikovsky, an influential figure in this theory, proposed that the universe undergoes periodic catastrophes caused by electrical interactions. Velikovsky's ideas are arguably the origin of the various Electric Universe claims, a fertile area generally centred on the notion that electromagnetism is the dominant force in the cosmos, and gravity is not.

    Velikovsky's work, particularly his book "Worlds in Collision," published in 1950, suggested that the Earth's rate of rotation was altered repeatedly during close encounters with Venus and Mars, and that electromagnetism had much more to do with these effects than did gravitational or other mechanical forces. His theories revolve around the idea that the universe undergoes periodic catastrophes caused by electrical interactions.

    Ralph Juergens, inspired by Velikovsky's work, proposed an electric model for the Sun in 1972. Wal Thornhill and David Talbott are the main proponents of the idea that the universe is driven by electromagnetic forces. Thornhill, in particular, has been a strong advocate for Velikovsky's ideas, stating that he "nailed some important truths" regarding the planets as the cause of cataclysmic events on Earth.

    “We live in an electric world. Our cities are visible from space at night, blazing with electric lights. The electricity courses invisibly in the darkness over great distances along thin power lines. We find electricity indispensable. Nature does the same since all matter is electrical. Yet astronomy is stuck in the gas-light era, unable to see that stars are simply electric lights strung along invisible cosmic power lines that are detectable by their magnetic fields and radio noise.

    It is now a century since the Norwegian genius Kristian Birkeland proved that the phenomenal ‘northern lights’ or aurora borealis is an earthly connection with the electrical Sun. Later, Hannes Alfvén the Swedish Nobel Prize winning physicist, with a background in electrical engineering and experience of the northern lights, drew the solar circuit. It is no coincidence that Scandinavian scientists led the way in showing that we live in an ELECTRIC UNIVERSE®.

    Why have they been ignored? The answer may be found in the inertia of prior beliefs and the failure of our educational institutions. We humans are better storytellers than scientists. We see the universe through the filter of tales we are told in childhood and our education systems reward those who can best repeat them. Dissent is discouraged so that many of the brightest intellects become bored and drop out. The history of science is sanitized to ignore the great controversies of the past, which were generally ‘won’ by a vote instead of reasoned debate. Today NASA does science by press release and investigative journalism is severely inhibited. And narrow experts who never left school do their glossy media ‘show and tell,’ keeping the public in the dark in this ‘dark age’ of science. It is often said, “extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.” History shows otherwise that entrenched paradigms resist extraordinary disproof.

    This website is for the curious, those who are eager to discover some reasonable answers about life, the universe and everything (as far as it is possible today) free of old beliefs that have shackled progress for centuries. It requires a beginner’s mind and a broad forensic approach to knowledge that is not taught in any university. The payoff is the spark that lights up lives.”

  • GKP S7/E9 - The Hidden Truth Behind Maps, Myths, and Magnetic Monoliths
    Jul 13 2025

    G'day Folks,

    In this lively episode of the General Knowledge Podcast (Season 7, Episode 9), Lee, Ethan, and Andy reunite after a series of technical hiccups to dive into a rich and speculative discussion spanning ancient mythology, electric universe theory, and hidden cosmological truths. After expressing their mutual frustrations and relief at finally getting Brave Talk working, the crew quickly shifts gears into thought-provoking territory.

    Lee leads the charge by discussing the Saturn myth and the controversial Electric Universe theory. He reflects on the possibility that humanity has inherited memories of cataclysmic celestial events, with Mars, Venus, and Saturn once forming a visible triad in our skies. These formations, according to some theorists, were recorded in myths and symbols across cultures—from Egyptian headdresses to the Eye of Ra—indicating a lost understanding of plasma physics and electromagnetic phenomena that shaped early human consciousness.

    The group then explores the mystery of the North Pole, questioning the accuracy of modern maps and what may lie hidden beneath its icy surface. Ethan delves into historical maps, the idea of a magnetic monolith, and the symbolic role of the North Star, drawing links between ancient legends, magnetic anomalies, and even simulation theory. They speculate that melting polar ice could be revealing ancient structures tied to human evolution and consciousness, and discuss how mainstream science may be deliberately misleading the public.

    Further grounding the episode, Lee shares his personal experiences with camping, stargazing, and the profound clarity that comes with disconnecting from technology and modern life. He also opens up about haunting childhood visions—eerily similar to the planetary alignments described in myth—which he believes could be echoes of ancestral trauma or ancient memory encoded in DNA.

    The episode wraps with an impassioned discussion about plasma physics, the flaws of traditional astrophysics, and how opening one’s mind to alternative theories can shift not only your perception of history—but reality itself.
