Electrical Planetary Scarring in the Lab

When one gazes at our celestial neighborhood, the planets, moons, comets and asteroids we see defy the speculative history we learned in school. These bodies testify to events not included in any geology textbook. The evidence seem undeniable — high-energy electromagnetic events have indelibly scarred, and in some cases devastated the rocky bodies in our solar system. Today, this seemingly outrageous theory is being put to the test experimentally. One of the most remarkable of these experimentalists is Billy Yelverton, who has successfully replicated countless planetary features through experiments with electrical discharges and electric fields. Today, we provide a brief overview and introduction of Billy’s research.
