As I hope to show, new evidence indicates that the structure<br />
and operation <strong>of</strong> our universe relies on something very<br />
different from the explanations provided through standard<br />
gravity theory. It seems instead that it works on the logical<br />
cause and effect associated with a force that established<br />
science already understands very well; electricity, or to be<br />
more correct, the electromagnetic (EM) force.<br />

The next thing to mention is Inflation. This is the name for<br />
the process said to have taken place just after the Big Bang.<br />
Among other things, it is <strong>of</strong>fered as an explanation for the<br />
smooth background ‘wallpaper’ <strong>of</strong> space known today as the<br />
Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB); this <strong>of</strong>ten being<br />
described as the furthest away ‘thing’ in the universe that<br />
can be detected. Inflation was mainly invented to explain<br />
the smoothness and close temperature relationship <strong>of</strong> everything in every direction in which we look. It <strong>of</strong>fers<br />
nothing to help us with explaining <strong>Electric</strong> <strong>Universe</strong> theories so I will only touch on one <strong>of</strong> the more obvious<br />
issues it was invented to solve, the ‘Horizon Problem’, plus one other that seems to involve 'not enough time'.<br />
The Horizon Problem is a situation that seems very odd from here on Earth. It becomes apparent when we do<br />
two things: (1) Look at two opposite furthest observable points in any direction in space and take temperature<br />
measurements at those points. (2) Remember that the distance to any furthest point is what gives us the figure<br />
<strong>of</strong> 13.7 billion years as the age <strong>of</strong> the universe. Here, we find that the two measured temperatures are within a<br />
whisker <strong>of</strong> the same value, but that the calculated distance between those points means that they could never<br />
have been in the same location in the past where they could have attained the measured similar temperatures. In<br />
other words, if it is correct that our universe did start at an infinitesimally small point known as a 'singularity'<br />
and that the maximum speed <strong>of</strong> light is 300,000 kilometres per second, then any such distant opposite points are<br />
just too far apart for the available 13.7 billion years to account for.<br />
A further significant issue about estimated distance and universe age is that a galaxy cluster named COSMOS-<br />
AzTEC3 [3-1] has been observed through standard reckoning to be 12.6 billion light years distant from us. How<br />
could a fully formed structure like this have had time to assume a mature state within the 1.1 billion year time<br />
difference between its measured age and the 13.7 billion year age <strong>of</strong> the universe?
