“A 200,000-Light-Year-Long Chain of Young Blue Stars Located Over Halfway Across the Universe”

April 6th, 2023

Via: Hubble Site:

The universe is so capricious that even the slightest things that might go unnoticed could have profound implications. That’s what happened to Yale astronomer Pieter van Dokkum when he was looking through Hubble Space Telescope images and noticed a suspected blemish that looked like a scratch on photographic film. For Hubble’s electronic cameras, cosmic rays skimming along the detector look like “scratches.” But once spectroscopy was done on the oddball streak van Dokkum realized it was really a 200,000-light-year-long chain of young blue stars located over halfway across the universe! van Dokkum and his colleagues believe that it stretches between a runaway monster back hole and the galaxy it was ejected from. The black hole must be compressing gas along its wake, which condenses to form stars. Nothing like it has ever been seen anywhere else in the universe before.

    …or it’s a Birkeland current structure behaving consistently within his and Hannes Alfven’s ideas, based on observable evidence, while those defending the long- defunct “academic” paradigm have planted their heads SO deep in their own *theoretical* structures that they blame everything their dilapidated models can’t explain by appending the prefix “dark” or the theoretical construct that is a “black (dark) hole”.

    So, invisible “dark” matter is allowed to exist AND explain away the massive HOLES in theories that don’t even bother to conform with physical, observable reality, while any discussion about other potential planes of energy/existence, spirit, etheric connection and the like are “superstitious” mumbo-jumbo.

    Hanging over it all like Damocles’ blade is the “Big Bang”, western academic science’s very own creation myth. Humanity has only been around for a few millennia, despite an ever-growing mountain range of evidential discovery by curious individuals still engaging in actual science, despite SO much weight arrayed against the (not so) “new” ideas our advancing technologies keep revealing.

    “All is not what it seems”, he said with a grin.

    Bravo Miraculix, for that erudite statement. I wonder, if all the incredibly gifted minds who have been diligently working on string theory for 20 years had instead been doing something useful(like studying Maxwell’s equations), what kind of a World we’d have now.

    RIP Wal Thornhill, for all your efforts to elucidate reality.

    Nice talk 10 years ago by electrical engineering professor Donald Scott, on some concepts that underlie the Electric Universe theory.
