Thanks Tim,
Very clear, my interest in the Electric model started with pictures of the cratering of the Moon and the strange features that can be seen. I came across a different explanation and followed the leads to the websites of Scott and Thornhill. I have no problem if they also think the solar system used to be a different place in the past, there you need evidence that is not yet available (and maybe never will). The Electric Sun hypothesis struck me as possibly a good idea. If that is true, the rest follows. So my main interest is in astrophysics, how stars work. In the Standard Model there are problems, and they need to be addressed (like the neutrino problem) and that's what the Electric model does. Now I'm no plasma physiscist, and since Wallace Thornhill is, I rely on his expertise for the model to work. If there is clear evidence against it, fine, but the problems of the Standard Model still need to be addressed. Neutrino oscillation could be an explanation, but we need direct evidence for that as well. Your comment on the lack of evidence for electrons flowing towards the Sun is also a matter of careful study. Absence of proof is not the same as proof of absence (as my chef always says). Nevertheless, we need the proof, otherwise, it all stops there. This is something I learned from this discussion, so how would I have found out, if I hadn't followed the model all the way and discuss it. This forum is (for me at least) an excellent place to hold some ideas against the light and see what it is made of. If a topic like the Electric model is stifled to protect innocent souls, no one will learn something from it. And since apparently I'm the deluded person here (for seeing truth in an electric model) I can tell you that I don't have a problem with being told the model is wrong. If anything I am more critcial of whatever appears in the scientific press.
Cheers.
