Electric discharge craters in dust

This experiment might be a scaled up version of the CRT experiments. An arc was obtained from an external source which also provided plate polarity to the capacitor surfaces. See results from other experimenters at www.thunderbolts.info search "The Craters are Electric"

'Mainstream' science has already gone a long way to explain why some craters should fail to be perfectly circular, but then again Kepler had to fight his inner Platonic demons before giving up the ghost of circular orbits. Roughly hexagonal craters don't necessarily call for an extraordinary explanation, nor do you explain why that should be the case. It's also presumptive of you to assert that 'no impact theory, ever' will explain oddly - only in your mind - shaped crater.

@CofradeArrepentido any impact theory will never explain hexagonal geometry of some craters. Case closed

@mgmirkin I don't think the scientific community makes a habit of summarily dismissing alternative views. But the evidence, at least up to now, seems to point in a different direction. It's also unclear how much of the 'electric universe' pseudoscientific malarky you're willing to endorse. Your introduction to the video suggests that unlike the average EU fan, you seem aware of the methological problems involved in 'scaled down' representations of reality masquerading as a valid experiment.

@CofradeArrepentido I don't think anyone is suggesting ALL craters of electrical origin. But I think that it should certainly be an option in the toolkit when looking at features. Assuming every crater everywhere ever was created by mechanical impact or by volcano is, to my mind, just as bad as claiming that all craters everywhere are of electrical origin, as opposed to impact or volcanic. Alternative approaches shouldn't be summarily ignored due to discomfort or unfamiliarity. My 2c, FWIW on YT

@CofradeArrepentido The evidence for formation of scalloped rilles (many of which appear to be nothing more than overlapping craters with no ejecta fans), rilles that go FROM nowhere TO nowhere (literally just an excavation of the surface with no outflow or ejecta fans and no evidence or images anywhere of underground lava tubes connected to such features, as has so often been speculated) and many other features such as cross-bedded rilles, much less so.

The evidence for craters being caused by meteorites is overhelming, including direct observational evidence from the very surface of the Moon.

Wow. The sharply cut ridges and linear crater formations resemble those of Mars beyond any doubt. I can't believe how under appreciated the Electric Universe Theory is. The more I understand it and see the evidence for it, the more I laugh hysterically at the current dogma known as Cosmology. Great job and keep it up!!
