A Beginner's View of Our Electric Universe - New

These variables are: regions of vastly different densities of plasma from which matter is drawn; the various
elements that make up that plasma, and the electrical power available for initiating the star birth process.
Combinations of these, together with the idea that any new star would have its own sequence of stages to go
through over great swathes of time thereafter, is the broad basis on which explanations can be provided for the
range of star types and their apparent behaviours that we observe. There are supergiant, giant and dwarf stars,
powerful stars, feeble stars and other objects in-between, all of which have associations with the list of ‘star type
phenomena’ that the gravity model has imaginatively produced [6-3] .
Over the tremendous amount of time that galaxy and star formation events have taken place, the structure of the
universe’s power distribution network has evolved. At every scale of electric power that flows into galaxies and
stars, this network remains to ensure the charged environment on which their continued operation depends; this
is how galaxies and stars are kept ‘alive and operational’. No doubt this power grid has changed over time but
again, we must remember that our view of the universe is insignificant in terms of the actual time that has gone
by. In the very unlikely event of the power supply to a star from its environment being cut, then it would rapidly
turn off, just like an electric light would do if we operated its on/off switch. We have never seen this happen
and we probably never will, but we have undoubtedly been witness to other events caused by variations in the
power flowing into galaxies and stars.
Supporters of the EU model have been aware for many decades of the existence and particular importance of
Birkeland currents. However, it is only quite recently that astronomers have been able to detect and image these
structures on galactic and stellar scales.

We now have excellent images of plasma filaments through
the fact that their inherent magnetic fields interact with
charged particles in their environment to generate vast
amounts of radiation such as radio waves, visible and ultraviolet
light, X-rays and gamma rays. This has allowed us to
observe the universe’s power network adorned throughout
with galaxies and stars as if they were Christmas tree lights
strung on wires. These electric power highways are there for us to learn from and to fuel our thoughts as we
further consider their presence and implications. Moreover, due to our ability now to ‘see’ high-energy radiation
emissions, we can better study other dynamic aspects of plasma where substantial electric charges are present
and different, such as in the vast clouds of ionised dust and gas we call Nebulae [6-4] .
