My Humble Tribute to Wallace William Thornhill
It felt as though I was hit with a heavy brick on my head when I read the news that Wal passed away on February 7, 2023.
Wal Thornhill was a physicist, philosopher, and a kind-hearted spirit who loved the sky and the universe and the universe loved him back in return.
Why wouldn’t the universe love him back when Wal was true to himself, his colleagues, his family and friends, and most of all his own mind and heart that loved to explore how to be a scientist – a physicist in particular?
I too set out to be a physicist at a young age going through the modern education that quite frankly has been faking the studies of physics and mathematics ever since the Renaissance Europe decided to dominate science and mathematics despite the fact that they did not know or understand simple, functional and efficient arithmetic.
How can you do fractions with Roman Numerals? How do you keep track of good time via a calendar that needs to add hours and days in an ad hoc fashion?
So how did Europe manage to claim superiority with mathematics and science? I need not explain this here because a set of very honest and thorough researchers have already done this. To learn about it, the bestplace to start is to study what Professor C. K. Raju has done over decades in India. [ckraju.net]
My own education background include that from Bengal, i.e., an Indian Subcontinent, and the United States. Both added a great deal of knowledge and skills towards my mathematics and scientific career.
I was lucky enough to have been taught by a few remarkable physicists and mathematicians in the United States as they didn’t quite dismiss me for my unusual questions and discomfort towards certain mainstream physics and mathematics.
They were exceptional in that they too seemed puzzled by certain mainstream dogma around physics. They dropped hints for me when I was too young to catch on. These few brave men carried on their academic careers in the midst of certain mainstream claims they did not fully buy into.
Looking back, it seems they were looking to educate a few who would make a difference in setting mainstream physics right someday. Was I such a student? Perhaps so from the words I remember they said to me. Those will be stories for another day.
However, I moved on with the mainstream for years until I became an independent scientist in 2006 at the age of 41. But Wal saw right through the nonsense of mainstream physics in his early 20’s! This is nothing short of remarkable in our times.
To keep the tribute short, let me point out the bottom line of Wal’s contribution to physics. Any authentic, contemplative person enthusiastically observing nature can invariably recognize certain fundamental actions of nature in space and time.
Those of us who love physics and mathematics may note that these actions lead to what is known as Maxwell’s Equations, which were formulated by Oliver Heaviside. Maxwell’s Equations describe Gauss’ Laws among some others.
A few of us can modify and manipulate the Maxwell’s Equations to better describe nature with comprehensive, fluid calculus and reach a conclusion that everything in nature in fact dwell in a seamless electromagnetic sea albeit with distinct electromagnetic properties.
Wal may not have recognized this electromagnetic sea via mathematics. But he did recognize it from strictly physical observation and understanding. He knew that just about everything in astrophysics, if analyzed properly, can be explained by means of electricity and magnetism and theories around gravity are not needed.
That is primarily what Wal really argued and even demonstrated.
I certainly agree. The problem with mainstream is that it tries to figure out physical phenomena by means of mathematics – but using mathematics incorrectly. Wal didn’t do that and refrained from certain mathematical manipulation and never deterred from figuring out physics empirically.
My deep regret is that I could have explained much of Wal’s laboratory observations using correct mathematics. I am glad that this video publication came out posthumously:
As described in this video, Wal predicted that the recent James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) released images, created by means of conventional and reasonable proxy average image reconstruction methods, would show a number of inconsistencies in many of the mainstream cosmological theories.
He was right in pointing out – that the faintest of most or all celestial objects detected in the image below are shown with assigned bluer color rendering compared to the much brighter celestial objects that are assigned redder color rendering – is inaccurate from the perspective of the ‘red-shift’ effect connected to distant celestial objects and expanding universe.
He was also right in saying that JWST’s released images invalidate the big bang theory, the existence of black holes, and other claims.
It has been very clear to me that NASA and other mainstream astrophysics organizations fail to understand what radiance is as they often dub it as brightness or luminosity. Further, one cannot properly determine the celestial object distances from radiance values read from the JWST images.
NASA ignores how radiance values vary with size and shape of celestial objects; and moreover, they do not realize that in a still snapshot captured from earth or another location in space, various objects in the sky have all different linear and angular distances associated with them and therefore it is not straightforward to associate a single radiance value with a single distance using some inverse square law for intensity.
It is possible that I finally got NASA’s and mainstream physics communities’ attention on this matter. I am glad Wal was able to see some of the released JWST images and verify his assertions.
Still, he left us much too soon and I am deeply saddened by his departure from this realm of the universe.
Nevertheless, the letters of appreciation for Wal poured in after the Canberra Times published his obituary:

Yes, very sad Wal Thornhill passed. He was very passionate and knowledgeable with the electric universe.

Yeah, I am an early member of the Forum around 2010 when I joined there but I haven’t been there for a while thus my password doesn’t work anymore.
