Let me add a lecture still to happen on 10th July 2010, here in UK!
EXPLORING THE ELECTRIC UNIVERSE
by Wallace Thornhill, physicist

Unique all-day event - to test a 'New Way' of looking at the universe (see my final BBC quote*)

On 10th July 2010 hear, meet and question this world authority:

"A universe governed by ELECTRICITY impacts everything we think we know. It is a new mental map." Wallace Thornhill (physicist)

Lecture Synopsis:
The last 150 years have seen immense progress in the understanding of electrical phenomena. Nevertheless, the conventional cosmology taught today remains essentially a theory of gravity. The Electric Universe presents an alternative theory that recognizes electrical forces as the dominant influence in shaping the universe. Based on well-understood principles that can be observed and demonstrated in any plasma laboratory, the electrical model also offers ready explanations for processes that continue to puzzle astronomers today.

Thornhill also presents the work of Dr CJ Ransom (plasma physics)
Followed by Q & A + refreshments - Serious questions are invited in advance. Register and book hot lunch: memb-gen@sis-group.org.uk

*"I have this sense that we need to picture cosmology, the evolution of the universe, in a whole NEW WAY.
.. our nice simple picture is getting messier and messier and messier…
..sometimes you discover the picture you thought you had, everybody thought we had, actually turns out to be wrong." World renowned astrophysicist speaking on BBC television

Saturday 10th July, 2010 10.30 ~ 16.45 at Harlequin Theatre, Warwick Quadrant, Redhill, Surrey, RH1 1NN, UK
