Interesting! So, maybe stars are like exponentially larger lightbulbs! Or maybe lightning bugs are a better analogy, if we view them as living things.

That was fascinating, thank you. I ended up having an electric-universe marathon! After watching this one, I watched Thunderbolts of the Gods and then the first episode of Symbols of an Alien Sky, both of which (especially the latter) talk about the relationship of this theory to ancient mythology--super interesting.The Electric Universe Theory Does Electricity Rule the Solar System [FULL VIDEO]
I think this might be getting ready to happen again.the first episode of Symbols of an Alien Sky

If you go to the Montana Sky Watchers 2 Facebook group they are tracking 7 planets in our skies right now.

As I was watching that one, and becoming more and more amazed by the correlations with ancient cultures and myths, I thought to myself--damn, wouldn't it be amazing if that happened again?I think this might be getting ready to happen again.

Glad you liked it @denise! I thought it was a simple, clear, evidence based introduction to EU. Like @Don says above, it truly is convincing especially after making my way through soooo much observable evidence. I once did a similar marathon of their videos - fun \(^o^)/That was fascinating, thank you. I ended up having an electric-universe marathon!

I've never encountered a community, apart from the Thunderbolts-ers themselves, that was even open, much less welcoming, to these ideas. How comfy. Thanks for the link.
I almost can't believe this. I totally expected to get hammered, but hey, I didn't bring it up and maybe somebody will be moved enough to give it a look. So great to know there are folks like you here.Glad you liked it @denise! I thought it was a simple, clear, evidence based introduction to EU.

@charlie thank you for posting this thread :) EU and Ray Peat are my two fields of research these days.
And @Don Ray also talked about EU theory in addition to Arp. It was on the Politics and Science Podcasts - I think the fund raising episodes. You might check it outI almost can't believe this.

And I agree about the Ray Peat/EU combo. What I had never run across before, until I followed Charlie's link, was that RP talked about Halton Arp. RP continues to amaze.
There was no big bang, there is no expanding universe, there are no black holes, there is no dark matter, and no dark energy, and no speed limit of the speed of light. There is even no gravity, in the sense of a fundamental force. In the age of dinosaurs gravity on earth was somewhere around half of what is is today. Such animals could never fly, and the land giants would be crushed by their own weight, in today's gravity.
And that's just the light stuff. Earth was originally born when it erupted out of Saturn (positive charges accumulate in the core and eventually become too great), and existed for however long orbiting Saturn. Likewise Mars, and likewise Venus, in that order. But then Saturn wandered too close to the Sun and was captured and all three of us broke free from Saturn. But in the turmoil of the transition, sometime in the last 10,000 years or so, Venus got too close to Mars causing massive and catastrophic electrical arcing, which excavated the northern hemisphere of Mars to a depth of 10 km (or perhaps it's 10 miles). That feature is known to exist on Mars encompassing perhaps the top 40% of the planet. And that is the source of meteorites. (And BTW, comets are just meteorites with a trajectory that makes them approach and then recede from the Sun, that is, in highly elliptical orbits.) The grand canyon and many geological features are also the result of monstrously powerful electric arcing. And Venus is hot not because of any greenhouse effect but because it is still hot from it's birth and has yet to achieve thermal equilibrium. That's another recognized fact, that Venus emits more thermal energy than it receives from the Sun. I've never heard any of them speculate about it, but it would seem likely, in that scenario, that Mars was similarly teeming with life. Sucked to be them.
Another guy you might find interesting is Gerald Pollack. For me, Peat is the greatest thinker on health, EU is the most astounding scientific revolution, and Pollock has made the most important practical contribution to science in my lifetime. He figured out how water works, and almost nobody had the slightest clue. Water is so comprehensively ubiquitous, but nobody knew how it worked, or put better, that it worked very differently than they ever suspected. And the details have profound ramifications, including, perhaps, what makes the earth continue rotating. His book is "The Fourth Phase of Water" and it's beautifully and clearly written. I've read it several times and will read it many more. And there's a Peat connection (though I don't believe he made it) which explains, at least in part, why red light is so beneficial. It directly structures the cellular water. Pollack speaks regularly at the EU conferences, and they're available on youtube, so maybe you're way ahead of me. But if you like your science important and outside the box, you'll love him.And @Don Ray also talked about EU theory in addition to Arp.

Yes, I would say this community continues to amaze me, strong powerful thinkers, and each one has their lens which makes for sometimes fascinating, interesting discussion and other times a bit of chaotic, wild conversations. ALL of them do share one quality: free thinking. THAT juices me. Like you, also why I love Ray and EU: both willing to be free, out of the box thinkers.
I do like Gerald Pollack! He and Gilbert Ling's work convinced me OUT of the membrane/pump view of the cell. Good stuff.Another guy you might find interesting is Gerald Pollack.

Well now I'm flabbergasted. I would never have expected to run across anyone who'd ever even heard of Van Flandern, much less having him quoted to me. So give me a sec to recover my wits.100% agree with the stuff about gravity, big bang, dark matter, etc.
Velikovsky was right about venus but I don't know about earth coming from saturn. Where's the proof of that one? IIRC he claims that venus came form jupiter.
According to science and historical accounts, there was another life wielding planet in our solar system that was destroyed by thermonuclear warfare 3 mil years ago, about the same time modern humans showed up.
"Is there other evidence that comets and minor planets originated in the 'recent' explosion of a planet? Yes, a great deal. We can study the orbits of comets, and by using the laws of gravitation we can do what amounts to tracing those orbits back in time. We find a statistical tendency of those orbits to emanate between a common point between Mars and Jupiter about 3 million years ago...." -- Tom Van Flandern, astronomer, 1993
"... I must admit to my fascination with the idea that the rough correspondence between the time of the origin of man on Earth and the date of the planetary breakup event ... is perhaps not at all coincidental. Both can be approximated at about 3 million years ago. This rough coincidence begs the intellect to wonder if the two events could be causally related." -- Tom Van Flandern, astronomer, 1993
