There's an interesting thread in the JREF Forum's Science, Mathematics, Medicine and Technology section, called Plasma Cosmology - woo or not. The thread's extremely long, but in the end the conclusion is stark: "electric universe theory"* is anti-science.

Huh?!?!?

I'll quote the key part, because it's so remarkable:

In other words, this so-called theory rejects, by fiat, the theory of General Relativity (GR).

Note well: GR is "not accepted" not because it has been tested and a fatal inconsistency between theory and observations clearly demonstrated; nor is GR rejected because it is incapable of being tested ... GR is rejected because, well, just because.

There's more, of course, such as the assumption that "the universe is nearly all plasma", and the astonishing failure of logic in the conclusion from this assumption; if you want to present, and defend, this anti-science, please start a new thread in the ATM section.

* "Plasma Cosmology" is, to all intents and purposes, the same as "electric universe theory"
