Tornadoes are a devastating natural phenomenon, currently beyond our ability to predict or control. However, science marches on… Diligent scientists have tried for many years to connect the dots between the electrical properties of supercell thunderstorms and tornadogenesis. New measurements of electromagnetic waves could indicate they were on the right track. The history of electrical theories for tornadogenesis goes back quite a ways. There have been many anecdotal reports of luminous phenomena (most likely of an electrical nature) associated with tornado formation. In one instance, a fisherman... 

Magnetic fields find their genesis in electric currents. Magnetic fields are observed ubiquitously in space. However, space scientists illogically refuse to make the deductive leap required of them. Space is permeated by diffuse large-scale electric currents flowing in the interplanetary, interstellar and intergalactic plasma pervading it. The hyperphysics site, administered by Carl Nave of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Georgia State University, defines magnetic field genesis quite succinctly: Magnetic fields are produced by electric currents, which can be macroscopic currents in [a...
