Nuclear Generation of Planetary Magnetic Fields and More

“What is Earth? Poets say it’s a celestial sapphire, a cerulean orb. Astronomers say it’s a medium-size planet orbiting an average star. Some environmentalists say it’s Mother. Biologists say it’s life’s only known home. But the most scientifically precise definition may prove to be the one that no one suspected. Earth, says geophysicist J. Marvin Herndon, is a gigantic natural nuclear power plant.”--- Brad Lemley, author of Nuclear Planet, the cover story of the August 2002 issue of Discover magazine, please click here.

The Discover article brought to public attention, not only the idea that a natural nuclear reactor, called the georeactor,  exists at the center of the Earth, but that the interior of Earth may not be quite as described by university and government scientists. Much has happened since then, including important scientific discoveries and insights. There is a whole lot more to natural nuclear fission than anyone before even imagined.

Making scientific discoveries and having new insights is like progressing step-by-step along a path through the wilderness, a logical progression of understanding. The links to detailed web pages below are themselves a time-line of significant developments in natural nuclear fission; click on each and enjoy being at the forefront of scientific understanding.

Important New Scientific Advances for Everyone to Enjoy

Origin of the Earth's Magnetic Field (click here) For more than six decades, scientists have thought that the Earth's magnetic field is generated by convection-driven dynamo action in the Earth's fluid core. Chick the link, follow the logic, and see for yourself why long-term convection, and hence dynamo-action, in the fluid core is impossible and why a different possibility makes sense.

New YouTube Video: Origin of Earth's Magnetic Field (click here) This video is best "watched in high quality" as it contains an experimental demonstration of why long-term convection, and hence dynamo-action, in the fluid core is impossible.

Understanding Galaxies and Galactic Structures (click here) More than seven decades ago, scientists thought they had solved the problem of how stars ignite, how they start to burn. Later, although there were indications of problems, no one except J. Marvin Herndon, thought to and ask "What's wrong with this picture?" and to re-think the problem.  Click the link and follow the reasoning which leads to a different understanding, not only about stars, but about galaxies and why they appear as they do.

Structure and Composition of the Earth (click here) More than six decades ago, scientists got a mistaken idea of what's inside Earth and have been trapped on an illogical plateau, unable to progress forward. Three decades ago, J. Marvin Herndon realized the mistake and began a logical progression of understanding which he shares here.

Whole-Earth Decompression Dynamics (click here) There are problems with plate tectonics theory and there are problems with expanding Earth theory. Click the link and see an entirely different vision of Earth dynamics which is J. Marvin Herndon's unification of the two seemingly disparate theories.

new book    Maverick's Earth and Universe

J. Marvin Herndon's view of Earth, its internal composition, energy sources, origin, and behavior, makes sense in a logical and causally related manner. His presentation is unlike the textbook picture that is based upon deep-rooted blunders, uncorrected by consensus-only, reviewed-in-secret, government-funded, establishment scientists.

Maverick's Earth and Universe begins at the foundations of knowledge and progresses step-by-step so that the reader can understand, not simply believe. The author reveals the way science should work, including a methodology more fundamental than the so-called scientific method, and describes techniques to use for making discoveries, which are not found in any textbook.

Maverick's Earth and Universe discloses the decades-old major blunder that underlies astrophysics, and points to a wholly different way to envision the Universe. For soft cover (click here). For hard cover, Amazon.com, (click here)

Herndon's website about the Earth: http://UnderstandEarth.com 
Because of the fundamental nature and profound implications Herndon is setting up a new website: http://UnderstandUniverse.com 

Welcome to NuclearPlanet.com, a web site about natural nuclear fission reactors, especially planetary-scale nuclear reactors. The scientific foundations of planetary nuclear fission reactors have been published in the following, premiere scientific journals: Naturwissenschaften, Journal of Geomagnetism and Geoelectricity, Proceedings of the Royal Society of London, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, Current Science, and Earth, Moon, and Planets. When an important new contradiction to prevailing ideas arises in the realm of ethical science, the new concept should be discussed and debated, subjected, if possible, to experimental and/or theoretical verification, refuted if wrong, or otherwise acknowledged. Scientists throughout the world are invited to ascribe to that standard. Secure in the belief that science and truth should go hand in hand with the freedom to learn about and to understand the world in which we live, this web site is dedicated to the dissemination of information to all people: to scientists and, especially, to interested persons everywhere.
