Charles L. Chandler is an American independent researcher and software developer based in the Baltimore, Maryland area. Largely self-taught in physics, he develops and publishes theories on astrophysics, geophysics and atomic structure that emphasize the role of electromagnetic forces, working outside the mainstream scientific community and within the Electric Universe and plasma-cosmology milieu.
Biography
Chandler describes having dedicated himself to philosophy at the age of 16. Before turning to science, he spent about five years in the merchant marines and roughly ten years as a carpenter, after which he moved into computing. Starting as a CNC operator, he taught himself programming, AutoCAD and AutoLISP, and worked in desktop and application support, eventually holding positions as a help-desk manager, network operations manager and CAD developer.
His shift toward physics followed an F4 tornado that struck Southern Maryland on 28 April 2002. Seeking to understand the storm, he studied meteorology part-time and later left his career to work on tornado theory full-time, concluding that tornadoes arise from a combination of fluid dynamics and electromagnetism. He subsequently broadened his approach to astrophysics and geophysics, posting his work to Internet forums and revising it in response to critics. Chandler maintains a personal website and the online "Quick Disclosure Lite" (QDL) discussion platform hosted at scs-inc.us, where he compiles his writings.
Chandler's interest in the Electric Universe grew out of reading on Immanuel Velikovsky around 2000, which led him to the work of authors such as David Talbott and Wal Thornhill. He later became associated with the Structured Atom Model (SAM) group led by Edo Kaal, whom he first met at an Electric Universe conference, and contributed to the community's discussions of an electrically-structured model of the atomic nucleus.
Work
Chandler's writings span meteorology, astrophysics, geophysics, neuroscience, philosophy and history. His central theme is that electromagnetic forces, largely neglected in conventional astrophysics and geophysics, should be treated as peers of gravity and thermodynamics in explaining large-scale natural phenomena.
In meteorology he argues that supercell thunderstorms and tornadoes are driven partly by electromagnetic effects acting on polarized water molecules, alongside conventional fluid dynamics. In the geophysical and astrophysical work compiled under titles such as "Astrophysics Wants Its Physics Back," he applies similar reasoning to geomagnetism, earthquakes, volcanoes and stellar structure. He has also engaged with the Structured Atom Model, which proposes a geometrically ordered nucleus in which protons are bound by inner electrons.
These proposals fall outside the accepted framework of mainstream physics and astronomy; electrical theories of tornado formation in particular have been rejected by the meteorological community, and Chandler's ideas have not been adopted in peer-reviewed science.
