The Electric Universe

VIDEO:

I’ve been meaning to cover the electric universe for some time now. Adrian Gilbert organised an electric universe conference in Bath earlier this year. Here is a brief overview of what the electric universe is : In the wake of recent discoveries, a new way of seeing the physical universe is emerging. The new vantage point emphasizes the role of electricity in space and shows the negligible contribution of gravity in cosmic events. Images returned by high-powered telescopes and recent space probes have challenged astronomers long-standing assumptions about galaxies and their constituent stars, about the evolution of our solar system, and about the nature and history of Earth. The new discoveries also suggest that our early ancestors may have witnessed awe inspiring electrical events in the heavens—the source of myths and symbols around the world. – Prepare to rip up your science books.
