Although sporting a degree in economics from Denison University and a Juris Doctorate from Capital University Law School, Davidson learned his science from his own research. Nothing wrong with that.
Economics teaches you how to make risk assessments. Law teaches you to think critically, and if nothing else, thinking critically is needed to uncover scams – which Global Warming surely is.
Whether one is a trained scientist or not, the dedication of the amateur, given enough time, will overcome and defeat the opposition of academic stonewalling. Davidson’s “Suspicious Observers” boasts the largest “solar weather” channel on YouTube with over 75 million views . . . and counting. With his daily solar weather forecasting, Davidson is leaving his detractors in the dust.
In these podcasts, he chronicles and links new articles from the science journals which confirm the many facets of solar nova science. While the Establishment science community will someday pretend that it knew it all along, what remains to happen now is for one scary display in the solar system, and solar nova science will suddenly go mainstream. Count on it.
Historically, leading catastrophists have been respected scientists, going all the way back to Isaac Newton’s assistant William Whiston and continuing with W. B Walker (Cyclical Deluges,1871), George Cuvier, and Albert Einstein who embraced Immanuel Velikovsky (Worlds in Collision, 1950). Focusing on the 19th Century onward, Davidson further traces this history in his book from 2021, The Next End of the World:
Catastrophism . . .has endured an incredible resurgence since 2018, with new revelations about past events, new scientific discoveries, and the long-needed coalescence of many scientific fields required to understand Earth’s catastrophe cycle. (p.2)
He could have credited Douglas Vogt for single-handedly creating this “resurgence” as it was his lecture series “The Causes of the Ice Ages” released to YouTube in 2018 which created the new field of solar nova science. This writer discovered Davidson’s “Suspicious Observers” from Vogt’s referral, as did many others.
In his book, Davidson discusses at length the contributions of Charles Hapgood and Chan Thomas and duly notes their CIA connections. These scientific experts attributed the stratified remains of past disasters to other causes. While the theories of these men were debunked by their contemporaries, Davidson cites new evidence to vindicate them, beginning with the public disclosure of Major Maynard White’s classified arctic expedition just after the second World War to the more contemporary findings of scientists in the final decades of the 20th Century. Aided by personal encounters and consultations with 21st Century Catastrophists often cited in his books – Billy Yelverton, Michael Steinbacher, Anthony Peratt, David Talbott, Randall Carlson, Robert Schoch, August Dunning, Douglas Vogt et al – he lays out the true source of these cataclysms: the Sun itself.
He acknowledges Vogt’s important contribution in citing the evidence from tektites – glassy beads found on Earth, the Moon and even Mars. While scientists have long mistakenly attributed their origin to volcanic action, Vogt demonstrated that their isotopes could only have come from a nova event on the Sun:
This evidence was largely put together by Douglas Vogt, who is the first person to suggest a nova event on the sun was the cause of the disaster.
Ben Davidson, The Next End of the World, Space Weather News, 2021,p. 60
All that remains to be answered is the specific process itself: What causes the Sun to nova and how does that impact the Earth?
Two fundamental disaster scenarios have been offered: 1) a newly revived crustal displacement theory originating in Hapgood and 2) the alternative of a rotational reversal theory promulgated by Thomas. Davidson embraces the former, while Vogt endorsed the latter.
In either case, it was Douglas Vogt who produced the proof from isotopic evidence in sedimentary layers and the presence of tektites on Earth – and on the Moon – the unavoidable conclusion that our Sun novas and that when it does, it causes a cacophony of disasters to occur. Davidson is standing on Vogt’s shoulders.
Since Vogt’s death in 2023, Davidson has become the lone voice for solar nova science, although Dr. August Dunning, who had previously defended Vogt’s model, has picked up the gauntlet and is a frequent guest speaker at Davidson’s events for the Observers Ranch in the high country of Colorado.
