Excellent article from one of my favorite cutting-edge scientific iconoclasts. Much more at the original article.

Usually, I read an article like this and think, "I don't know enough. This is probably great stuff and the only reason this sounds like made-up gobbledy-gook is because I haven't studied this subject to the proper depth."

But as I read this particular article, I'm pretty sure that this is made-up gobbledy-gook.

Your favorite "cutting-edge scientific iconoclast" appears to be a proponent of Neo-Velikovskianism. In other words, a pseudoscientific crank.

Given the fact that, despite the neo-Velikovskians' claims to the contrary, the standard stellar model is so successful at explaining the observations while the Electric Star model is rife with problems and outright violations of basic physics, it is understandable why the former enjoys unanimous support in the scientific community, while the latter is considered a pseudoscience.

IMHO there’s a LOT going on on the other side of absolute zero that we (meaning current top quantum physics researchers, whose explanations the rest of us try to get the gist of) don’t know squat about. Science will eventually locate “God”, most likely on the other side of that absolute zero wall, or comfortably hanging out on both sides simultaneously.

Really? Do you think so? Every test of general relativity has delivered results that support the theory. Among the assumptions of theory is the assumption that gravity travels at the speed of light.

Newton’s famous law of gravity does not refer to time.

Einstein's law of gravity does refer to time. Einstein's law of gravity is called "General Relativity". In experiments designed to detect differences between Newtonian and relativistic predictions Dr. Einstein has yet to lose.

Thanks for posting that.

This phenomenon is the basic operating principle of the flux capacitor.

Electric Gravity? PING!

If you want on or off the Electric Universe Ping List, Freepmail me.

So to boil it down - what he is saying is that (applying the principle of equivalence) when an massive body attracts another body and a magnet attracts metal the same physical force is at work in both instances?

There is no gravity. Everything sucks.

Bump for a later read. Since I have zero training in the field and more interest than understanding, it'll take some time to even get a loose grip on the subject matter. Regardless, the "Electric Universe" is fascinating stuff. If for no other reason, it tweaks the nose of conventional wisdom.

"Conventional wisdom" these days strikes me as being more Orwellian than anything else. Then again, maybe I'm paranoid...
