  • @arthur6279

    fair enough

    all the best!

  • @arthur6279 Plasma cosmology ultimately denies Hubble's interpretation of red shift and from there they deny the Big Bang itself. To them the Universe is eternal.  Lerner, Arp, and Alfven are the notables if interested.

  • @TheEruditepolymath I did. The site I found didn't appear to be very authoritative. Planetary features being formed by space lightening seems highly unlikely to me. As for the other stuff I read, it seemed pretty straight forward in terms of the specific phenomena but I'm still unsure of what they're saying the theory tells us about the universe.

  • @arthur6279 haha so did u look it up?

  • @TheEruditepolymath took awhile to think that zinger up eh?

  • @arthur6279 don't be so lazy

    look it up yourself

    you'll need 10 min

  • Solar winds must be brutal :(

  • @arthur6279 Look for "The Electric Universe Pt 1-4." It's a great primer vid. For more info, Google Thunderbolts(dot)info. 

  • @arthur6279 Google plasmacosmology as a starting point. Thunderbolts is also good. I dont subscribe to all the conjectures there but its always useful to keep an open mind to new ideas . Especially when the old guard of cosmologists have so many patches in their theories they really are ridiculously off the mark. Electric currents in space could very well be the driving force behind Stella and planetary dynamics. Gravity is 40 orders of magnitude weaker.

  • Washington Irving's "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" was written about Tarrytown, NY, not someplace in Europe.
