To test, you apply known physical principles to Thornhill's Z-pinch (<a href="http://dealingwithcreationisminastronomy.blogspot.com/2008/11/electric-cosmos-solar-resistor-model.html" rel="nofollow">The Solar Resistor Model</a>) and Scott's solar cathode models (<a href="http://dealingwithcreationisminastronomy.blogspot.com/2008/11/electric-cosmos-solar-capacitor-model-i.html" rel="nofollow">The Solar Capacitor Model. I.</a>, <a href="http://dealingwithcreationisminastronomy.blogspot.com/2008/12/electric-cosmos-solar-capacitor-model.html" rel="nofollow">The Solar Capacitor Model.

III.</a>)<br /><br />Electric Sun models failed basic tests of magnetic field formation as well as particle flux by factors of thousands and higher. To paraphrase a satellite engineer who read Scott's <i>The Electric Sky</i>, if these currents actually existed, we'd have a lot of dead satellites and astronauts.<br /><br />The 'magical power source gravity'? Perhaps you've heard of hydroelectric generators. The first satellites were launched based only on observations of planetary motion. There was no laboratory demonstration of orbits created under the action of gravity until we sent satellites into orbit.W.T."Tom" Bridgmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10889134728080314165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361412992308994774.post-35026210547651652232012-08-07T15:50:10.014-04:002012-08-07T15:50:10.014-04:00The Big Bang is the original source of energy that...The Big Bang is the original source of energy that causes the thunderstorms in the heavens. The cause and effect should follow from there.<br /><br />That said, I still subscribe to Steady State. I'm not saying there wasn't a "local" Big Bang, but I ignorantly believe the Universe as a whole is eternal.<br /><br />Considering the mainstream multiverse bandwagon, I don't think I'm being too unreasonable.<br /><br />The something from nothing concept is still something from something.<br /><br />"Nothing" in the purest, literal sense does not and cannot exist.<br /><br />Instead of taking the EU "argument" to the philosophical extreme, I think we should continue to focus on the Electric Star concept.<br /><br />Instead of picking apart the obviously flawed EU Electric Star concepts, you should instead be forming your own scenarios for the formation of Electric Stars by first assuming it's true. I'm unaware of any affirmative evidence to date that absolutely precludes the possibility thereof.<br /><br />Also, never forget current theory relies heavily on assumptions of the magical power source gravity. So much so, it's taken for granted.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03097473840966949592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361412992308994774.post-7614289886734733772012-07-18T21:04:26.336-04:002012-07-18T21:04:26.336-04:00The disparate answers are not surprising as the El...The disparate answers are not surprising as the Electric Universe is nothing more than an umbrella term for the expression of anti-science ideas.<br />Referring to it as pseudo-science is being generous!<br />The Thunderbolts forum is a good example of the Dunning Kruger effect in operation.<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effectsjastronoreply@blogger.com
