Electric Stars
Explore a new theory of the universe where powerful electromagnetic currents-- not the miniscule forces of gravity-- connect the cosmos and concentrates physical material into stars and galaxies.
About this video
Like pearls on a string, stars and planetary bodies form deep in the heart of molecular clouds of gas. Modern science tells us that the minuscule forces of gravity pull these particles together until they ignite as stars, but it fails to explain why. Wallace Thornhill and Ev Cochrane forward a theory of electromagnetic currents, like cosmic lightning, that connect the cosmos and concentrate physical material. Thus, the standard model of the universe becomes invalid when faced with a universe where electrical charge governs the order of all things from the creation of galaxies and stars to the working of biological beings.
