A Beginner's View of Our Electric Universe - New

Ralph E Juergens (1924 – 1979) [5-6]
A Civil Engineer and Science Editor, this American stalwart of the electrical and
plasma science community really made his mark with his ideas about our Sun’s
operation being based on electrical action rather than the story that had evolved
since the early 1900s of it being a self-controlling thermonuclear explosion. He
was a follower of the work of Immanuel Velikovsky and most of his contributions
to electrical and plasma science were to take place after he retired to study
Velikovsky’s work in detail. Juergens was the person who started talking about
the stars, planets, moons and comets, in fact every body in space, as having their
own electrical charge. He came up with this belief through his view that space
is an electric domain, within which all these bodies reside and interact. He also
presented the theory that the Sun and all other stars are actually focal points for
electric currents that circulate within galaxies; these currents flowing from an
even larger and more powerful inter-galactic circuit. Many who were aware of
his work were initially sceptical, but these days we find Juergen’s ideas forming
one of the foundation pillars of the EU model. Juergens would no doubt have
contributed much more, but sadly, he died young of a heart attack in 1979.
Dr Halton Arp (1927 – present) [5-7]
An American astronomer who worked as an assistant for 28 years to the famous
Edwin Hubble at the Mt Palomar Observatory. During that time Arp produced his
famous catalogue of ‘Peculiar Galaxies’, these being galaxies that appear to be
physically unusual. In the context of this book, Arp is best known for his views
on a particular property of the light that comes from distant objects in the cosmos,
this being the ‘redshift’ I previously explained. From Arp’s website biography:
“Arp discovered, from photographs and spectra with the big telescopes, that
many pairs of quasars (quasi-stellar objects) which have extremely high redshift
z values (and are therefore thought to be receding from us very rapidly - and thus
must be located at a great distance from us) are physically connected to galaxies
that have low redshift and are known to be relatively close by. Because of Arp’s
observations, the assumption that high red shift objects have to be very far away
- on which the Big Bang theory and all of “accepted cosmology” is based - has
to be fundamentally re-examined!”
