A Beginners View of Our Electric Universe

Crater chains are common, where if these were produced by impacts then it is also to be expected that tight formations of flying rocks of similar size are at this moment travelling at speed through space in formations similar to that of the carriages of a train.

A plasma discharge moving across a planet or moon’s surface will tend on occasion to hesitate for short periods as it progresses. Again, for a measure of visual confirmation you can look at the often-hesitant performance of plasma filaments inside a decorative plasma ball. One result of this discharge behaviour on a body’s surface will be to produce a line of adjacent craters, the rims of which might touch or overlap. Formations such as these are just impossible to reproduce through impact theory. However, if impact was to be considered, then we should expect to see one crater being physically affected by the creation of the next but evidence for this is not being found. On some occasions, we even see crater chains that change direction to leave geometric patterns that the theory of flying rocks could never reproduce.

We should accept that a large body can indeed break up due to the action of electrical forces inside it being influenced by the environment of charged space to fracture that body and that a formation of large pieces might be the result. This is what happened with comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 as it began to pass Jupiter. That comet was however particularly large and its remnant fragments rapidly drifted apart as they neared Jupiter’s atmosphere and were drawn in by its gravity. So basically, the idea of rock fragments remaining together in tight formation to produce the results we see in crater chains is not supported by the basic mechanics involved or by observation.

Any theory to explain crater chains must involve a relatively constant force that moves across a body’s surface. In the case of crater chains the energy will likely be discharged in rapid bursts due to surface material densities and fluctuations in the discharge energy available from the source. 150
