Thunderbolts of the Gods, a book written by David Talbott, Mel Acheson, and Wallace Thornhill is an excellent read on historical references supporting the electric universe theory! The simplicity and intertwined complexity is truely elegant, so much information and supporting evidence that’s in our face, yet ignored by the main stream community.
I was introduced to Electric Universe theory about a year and a half ago. The elegant simplicity and self evident truths that comprise the backbone of the theory are, at once, both earth shaking and soberly grounding.
Where the Standard Model fails to predict or explain observed phenomena, the Electric Universe theory does both, and in terms that grade schoolers can comprehend.
I predict that it will eventually supplant the existing paradigm completely.
