Scientists with NASA’s Juno mission have discovered a volcanic hot spot in the southern hemisphere of Jupiter’s moon Io...larger than Earth’s Lake Superior, it belches out eruptions six times the total energy of all the world’s power plants...the new hot spot’s radiance measured well above 80 trillion watts.

Prediction is the ultimate test, and indeed, the Jovian moon Io has consistently provided one of the clearest successes for the EU Model. In the mid 1990s, prior to NASA’s Galileo mission, Wal Thornhill proposed that Io's volcanic plumes are in fact forms of electrical discharge; that the so-called volcanic vents would be much hotter than lava; that plumes are the jets of cathode arcs.

This electrical discharge does not explode from a volcanic vent, but moves around and erodes the periphery of dark areas, which planetary geologists call lava lakes—which are merely the solid surface of Io etched electrically by cathode arcs.

Independent researcher Stuart Talbott wonders that with the 21st century almost one-quarter complete, why does the causative role of electric currents in the cosmos remain verboten in the space sciences?

“Most of the great discoveries in science were made intuitively through pattern recognition—through seeing Gestalt. They weren't necessarily made by following a linear sequence. The right brain sees no conflict between science, intuition, imagination, and reason.”
— Iain McGilchrist

In his 2009 book "The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World", British psychiatrist Dr. Iain McGilchrist explores the differences between the right and left hemispheres of the brain. The 'Master' and 'Emissary', respectively.

His analysis includes why most alternative ideas, regardless of mounting evidence, encounter inertia from the expert class—an astute elucidation why the Electric Universe Model of Cosmology is treated with the obstinate mindset known as SCIENTISM.

Author and independent researcher David Drew deconstructs McGilchrist's enormous body of research how our divided brain can reveal key insights into human nature—and comprehension of our Electric Universe.

At the 20th Annual Conference of the Natural Philosophy Alliance (NPA20), held July 2013 in College Park, Maryland USA, Australian physicist Wal Thornhill recounted his personal odyssey, starting with inspiration from Immanuel Velikovsky and culminating in an interdisciplinary perspective on the grand view of the Electric Universe Model of Cosmology.

One of the highlights at NPA20 was the presentation of the distinguished Sagnac Award to Wal Thornhill for his lifelong contribution to science.

Wal Thornhill (1942–2023) was the co-founder of The Thunderbolts Project and its Chief Science Advisor. His philosophical approach is that we must first understand human nature to understand the cosmos. The Electric Universe Model is the only science that has grown from diverse disciplines of understanding, offering hope and inspiration for a better future.
