Volcanoes are supposed to be hot, so why are cold volcanoes found all over the solar system? In this article, we are going to be exploring Cryovolcanism.
Hot vs Cold
You are probably aware of volcanic activity on Earth – Volcanoes spew hot lava which is molten rock and various gases. It is believed that heat is part of the mechanism of why volcanoes occur. So why is it that ice-cold cryovolcanoes are being found in various part of the solar system? How can volcanoes be cold?
Not only does cryovolcanism exist but we are finding it throughout the solar system. The dwarf planet, Ceres was expected to be a boring, inactive lump of rock. But instead, we found cryovolcanoes on Ceres as well as on Titan, which is one of the moons of Saturn and also on Pluto.
Pluto is really far out from the sun and so we expect it to be extremely cold, frozen and inactive. So the volcanic activity on Pluto was a bit of a surprise.
Do we really understand volcanoes?
It may all come down to the fact that we have mistaken what volcanoes are in general. We think we know how volcanoes work on planet Earth. But if you look closely, you will see that people who study these things don’t really know exactly why volcanoes happen. This issue of Geographical magazine contains an article that admits that we don’t even know the basics of how volcanoes work.
So it’s a bit of a misnomer to say that we know exactly why volcanoes happen on Earth, let alone cryovolcanoes in space.
Commonalities in eruptions
I think we should look beyond individual types of eruptions to a single mechanism that unites them all. What I’m saying is that eruptions and volcanoes are all expressions of the same principle: The Black Hole Principle.
The Black Hole Principle
If you remember, The Black Hole Principle says that light comes in from higher dimensions and then splits into matter and antimatter and these combine again to form light. So you have these intermittent eruptions of energy and particles.
We have also looked in previous episodes at how The Black Hole Principle creates water and even substances that we normally call ‘fossil fuels’ such as methane.
And that’s indeed what we see coming out of these Cryovolcanoes: methane, water, and ammonia.
In fact, we actually see water vapour coming out of volcanoes on Earth as well. In another previous episode, we looked at how stars actually emit water bullets.
Transcending the eruption
This is what I’m putting forward, that we have to transcend this concept of a volcanic eruption of ‘stuff’. The energy starts out in a different dimension and comes through and expresses itself at every single level of the universe.
So whether that be a hot planet or a cold planet, the energy is the same. The principle is the same. The Black Hole Principle is creating volcanoes at every level that we see them. Cryovolcanism is to be expected because all these planetary bodies are working in the same way just at different scales and temperatures.
Predictions and Conclusions
We not only expect to see more eruptions happening in our own solar system but even beyond our solar system because they are caused by a universal principle.

Auroras on a comet?
A lot us are familiar with the concept of Northern Lights and Southern Lights or Aurora Borealis and Australis as they are otherwise known. But why have scientists spotted an aurora on a comet? They are also seen around moons and other planets. Is the received wisdom on Auroras correct and what do they have in common with Black Holes? These are the questions we are asking today: what is the connection between auroras, comets and black holes?
A spectacular light show
You may be familiar with the concept of the Northern Lights which are spectacular changing colours that are sometimes seen in the sky in countries close to the North pole.
We are told that this spectacular light show actually has its origins with the sun as the solar wind, consisting of fast-moving charged particles, interacts with the magnetosphere of our planet causing various elements in the Earth’s atmosphere to create the colours that we see.
And for many years, we have accepted this explanation. Except as space exploration continues, we find some anomalies that don’t fit this theory. Auroras are seen on planets that we previously supposed were not able to have them. Jupiter has an aurora that is deemed too powerful for this usual explanation.
And in 2020 scientists discovered that even comets have auroras! This particular aurora was in the ultraviolet aspect of the spectrum so invisible to us.
But it leaves us with the question; how is it possible that something as small as a comet can generate a magnetic field large enough to interact with the solar wind and generate an aurora? The same question arises when we find auroras on distant moons too.
What exactly is going on?
Northern and Southern Lights pulse at the same time
I find it really intriguing that the northern and southern hemispheres on the earth both have these auroras at the same time – they are known as the Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis respectively.
Actually, rather than coming from the outside in as we would expect particles from the sun to do, the charged particles go from the middle to the poles and you see both the northern and southern hemisphere light up at the same time. Not everyone mentions this and most of the diagrams show the particles going the other way.
In other words, the charged particles that create auroras on the Earth are similar to bipolar jets that we see around black holes.
Even though they are supposed to be created by different mechanisms, we see auroras around planets and moons and they consist of fast-moving charged particles.
A new theory of Auroras – they are bipolar jets!
I think that auroras are an expression of The Black Hole Principle: the same mechanism is happening in black holes in space as on the earth and also many bodies throughout space as well.
So you have these poles of charged particles that are going from the centre to either side, going to the north and the south poles of the earth.
The fast-moving charged particles, such as electrons, are creating these northern and southern light shows that we see with the interactions with the elements of the atmosphere.
But it’s not the just the solar wind interaction, it’s the interior of Earth or whichever planetary body, whether that be a moon or a comet, Jupiter or anything else that we’re finding that has auroras, it’s all the same sort of mechanism.
If we put it that way, then we’re looking at auroras are caused by bipolar jets of fast-moving charged particles similar to those found in black holes.
The Black Hole Principle and Auroras
We can see auroras as an expression of the Black Hole Principle. That’s what I think is also happening with the auroras that we’re seeing around comets.
We know that black holes create jets of fast-moving electrons due to The Black Hole Principle. These are powerful and intermittent and often are emitted in jets.
The Black Hole Principle
I think the same mechanism that creates auroras around comets is actually creating auroras at every single level, be it Jupiter or the Earth or moons. It‘s these bipolar jets that we see in black holes that are creating the auroras around planets and various bodies.

Mysterious Lights have been spotted around Earthquakes but what is causing them?
An elusive mystery
For 300 years, people have been recording mysterious lights that sometimes appear around earthquakes. For many years these reports have been dismissed but recently, people have managed to capture footage of the phenomenon. Sometimes it appears to look like lightning but coming from the ground.
The mainstream science
It doesn’t occur in all earthquakes and its mechanism is still mysterious. Some scientists remain sceptical that they exist at all. Some have proposed that earthquake lights are created by rocks and crystals such as quartz which generate electric currents when an earthquake occurs. This is far from being confirmed, however.
Earthquakes as black holes
From the perspective of The Black Hole Principle, Earthquake lights are easily explained. If the same mechanism that occurs in black holes at the centres of galaxies occurs in earthquakes then the lights are created by the combination of matter and antimatter.
The Black Hole Principle
Electrons at close to the speed of light are also discharged from a black hole so the lightning from an earthquake is also to be expected.
For more information on how earth phenomena are created by The Black Hole Principle, check out these earlier articles here, and here.
It is my hope that this knowledge will one day help us to combat earthquakes and alleviate the human suffering that they cause.

Have scientists found evidence of a parallel dimension in Antarctica? Recently a story went viral that scientists had found evidence of a parallel dimension in which time travels backwards.
So this is what we are looking at today on Punk Science TV: Mystery Neutrinos, Antarctica and Parallel dimensions
Code-named ANITA
NASA has an instrument – a high -altitude helium balloon fitted with Radio antennas. It’s a called ANITA and it’s designed to pick up the signature of the interaction of cosmic rays from space with the Earth.
And by 2016 two incidents of high energy cosmic rays were found but they were coming up from the Earth not down from space.

The Mystery Neutrinos
I am not a physicist but this is what I understand – there are many different types of particles including ones called neutrinos. There are some which interact very weakly. But the ones detected by ANITA in Antarctica are high energy neutrinos that actually have a wider cross-section so do bump into things.
This is why people are puzzled by what happened because for these particles to be detected by ANITA as coming out of the Earth, they would have to come down from space then back up from the Earth again.
And the physicists think that for these particles that would be impossible as they could not have made their way through the Earth through all that rock. That’s why this is such a big deal as it defies what we know about physics.
A radical solution
Neil Turok of The Perimeter Institute was reported by New Scientist as putting forward a radical solution. The particles coming up from the Earth are actually from a parallel dimension where time runs backwards. So in this model, the particles are really coming from space but we are seeing them coming up from the Earth as it is all running backwards.
That report in the media went viral.
What’s really happening?
But is there another explanation? I noticed that these types of particles have been detected before but that time they were traced to be coming from a black hole in the centre of a galaxy one that also sometimes gives off jets at the speed of light and gamma rays.

Hmm! So The Black Hole Principle says that every single aspect of the universe behaves in the same way only at different scales – from supermassive black holes to stars and even the Earth. So the centre of our planet should be capable of producing particles in a similar way to a galactic black hole.
The Black Hole Principle
I even made a previous video about this some years ago. So according to the Black Hole Principle we expect cosmic rays to come from the Earth as at the centre of the Earth is a mini black hole dynamo doing much the same things as larger ones just smaller.
Problem solved!

Wildfires create thunderstorms – are these mini black holes? If so, are they the cause of the fires? Because we know that thunderstorms are created by the same mechanism that creates black holes in the centres of galaxies, the possibility then exists that the lightning exuded by the clouds associated with wildfires could actually be the cause of wildfires and not just a consequence of them.
In this article, I ask the audacious question, do black holes create wildfires?
Wild devastation
In early 2020, the world was rocked by the devastating news that wildfires across Australia had caused massive destruction and the near extinction of some species. It isn’t just Australia which suffers such losses.

Other countries such as the USA also regularly experience wildfires. It is assumed that there is an initial spark probably caused by the sun or even human carelessness. Vegetation that has dried out provides ample fuel for wildfires to quickly go out of control.
Wildfire storms
There is a phenomenon associated with wildfires that caught my attention: the storms that appear alongside wildfires that can sometimes produce lightning thus spreading the fire even further.
So what is happening here? Conventional science, of course, doesn’t fully understand how lightning is generated as discussed here so wildfire storms are even more poorly understood. In case you are thinking that they are caused by friction and static build-up in clouds, think again as this theory has long been disproved by scientific data.
Dangerous clouds
What we can observe associated with wildfires is that a type of cloud called a Pyrocumulonimbus. It was originally thought that these clouds were rare but now scientists are realising that they are a fairly common occurrence with wildfires. These clouds produce lightning but do not always produce rain.

As you can imagine, the lightning from these clouds can ignite further fires and worsening the situation.
But knowing as I do, that thunderstorms show the same characteristics as larger black holes in space, I decided to investigate wildfire storms. What I found was very intriguing.
Intriguing characteristics
Although the pyrocumulonimbus clouds are associated with wildfires, they are very similar to those found around volcanoes. This, of course, is to be expected according to The Black Hole Principle theory, because each level of the universe is working according to the same pattern.
It has also been found that wildfire storms are able to shoot material high into the Earth’s atmosphere, to the point where they have been mistaken for volcanic eruptions.
Again this would fit with the bipolar jet activity that we see associated with black holes from galactic centres all the way down to quarks. These clouds have also been witnessed showing vortex behaviour – similar to a tornado.
Rarely, sometimes there will even be a fire tornado associated with bushfires.
I then found myself wondering, have we got things the wrong way round? Do black holes create wildfires?
The Black Hole Principle and Wildfires
We know that Black Hole Principle activity fluctuates; they are sometimes active, sometimes not. They appear in different areas at different times. This is what gives this and other planets their weather systems.
So maybe what is happening in some wildfires is that black holes themselves initiate in an area, these create lightning which ignites the dry vegetation causing the fire to spread. We see further mini black holes in the area which create the pyrocumulonimbus clouds, lightning strikes, ejection of material high into the atmosphere and sometimes rain.

Sure, some wildfires are created for other reasons such as human negligence but effectively the ones created by lightning are being created by mini black holes!
By understanding The Black Hole Principle better, we may be able to manipulate the behaviour of black holes around forests and help to control the initiation of wildfires thus preventing the widespread destruction that they cause.
