Many <strong>of</strong> these ‘star objects’ appear as they do because they are being electrically over-stressed at various points<br />
in their long existences: some are in the process <strong>of</strong> giving birth to planets and moons that are destined to become<br />
their own close companions or the companions <strong>of</strong> other bodies, and some are going through other electrically<br />
managed, cataclysmic events. All these bodies are suspended in a sea <strong>of</strong> plasma so immense and filled with<br />
electric power that we cannot begin to comprehend it. Nonetheless, we will start our own journey into this<br />
<strong>Electric</strong> <strong>Universe</strong> by first considering the universe and its galactic scale filaments <strong>of</strong> plasma.<br />
The Environment <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Universe</strong><br />
If we accept that the fundamental laws <strong>of</strong> physics have never changed, then all the rules we know about plasma,<br />
electricity and magnetism will have applied for as long as we care to consider and in all circumstances. This<br />
means that from the EU model point <strong>of</strong> view, there has been ample time and opportunity for electrical currents<br />
throughout space to interact with all forms <strong>of</strong> matter to provide the apparent silent equilibrium we believe we<br />
are witness to these days. When and how this all started I firmly believe we cannot safely guess. The universe<br />
may be a ‘timeless place’ and I am glad that EU theory does not attempt to guess at such things.<br />
Ralph Juergens described the universe as an ‘electrified fabric’ in which charged bodies are immersed. This<br />
is important, because the bodies we have talked about; the galaxies, stars, planets, moons, comets, asteroids,<br />
meteors, dust and gas, apparently all carry their own electrical charge within this fabric. It is on this basis that<br />
all these things interact electrically with this fabric and with each other. It is the Birkeland currents that flow<br />
throughout this fabric that mould and spin galaxies and go on to govern their individual and group behaviour<br />
and that <strong>of</strong> the stars within them. We can only begin to imagine how these immense conductors <strong>of</strong> electric power<br />
have interacted in the past to give us the structures and objects we now see when we look into space.<br />
Galaxy Formation: We already know that plasma<br />
filaments combine in pairs as Birkeland currents (BCs)<br />
to transmit electricity efficiently [6-1] . If two BCs meet<br />
and the current density that subsequently flows between<br />
them is great enough, then an electromagnetic ‘instability<br />
point’ can form. This produces a strong compression force<br />
concentrated at the meeting point, which in turn produces a<br />
powerful long-range attractive EM force that draws matter<br />
toward it. This process is called a plasma ‘pinch’ effect<br />
[6-2] .<br />
