5 | The work <strong>of</strong> the honourable but ignored<br />
Any introduction to the <strong>Electric</strong> <strong>Universe</strong> model could not adequately be attempted without mentioning the<br />
people whose work has contributed to the theories now fundamental to that model. Some <strong>of</strong> them are big names<br />
in the history <strong>of</strong> science, others are less well known and some continue to expand and refine that model through<br />
their contributions today. The reaction by many in mainstream astro-science to this body <strong>of</strong> people and their<br />
work has been unfortunate, where some have been ignored and ridiculed and a few even intellectually attacked<br />
on occasion. This chapter documents the main characters whose work I have come across and the contributions<br />
they have made to the evolution <strong>of</strong> the EU model. It also puts the final elements <strong>of</strong> our build-up in place before<br />
we move on to look at the basic theories <strong>of</strong> the EU model.<br />
As people you may already be aware <strong>of</strong>, I will first mention Galileo Galilei, Isaac <strong>New</strong>ton, William Herschel,<br />
Johannes Kepler, Albert Einstein, Edwin Hubble, Fred Hoyle and Steven Hawking. These are just a few <strong>of</strong> those<br />
whose work in astro-science and mathematics has contributed to the theories that lie behind the current standard<br />
model. I have respect for every one <strong>of</strong> them and believe they did good honest work by contributing as best they<br />
could to the advancement <strong>of</strong> science. However, I have taken particular note that in the opinion <strong>of</strong> many experts,<br />
some <strong>of</strong> the hard work and creative ideas <strong>of</strong> these people have either turned out to be wrong turns in themselves<br />
or have been distorted through work carried out by others in their own pursuit <strong>of</strong> achievement.<br />
I now mention the names <strong>of</strong> James Clerk Maxwell, Nicola Tesla, Kristian Birkeland, Irving Langmuir, Hannes<br />
Alfven, Immanuel Velikovsky, Charles Bruce, Ralph Juergens, Earl Milton, Halton Arp, Anthony Peratt, David<br />
Talbott, Wallace Thornhill and Donald Scott. I would not be surprised to find that most <strong>of</strong> these names are<br />
unfamiliar. This chapter expands, to a degree, on the significant work that some <strong>of</strong> these people have done and<br />
how outcomes from that work now support the EU model. For now, I will say that with similar honest endeavour,<br />
dedication and creative thinking, these people have contributed significantly to research and discovery within<br />
electrical and magnetic science, plasma physics, cosmology and astronomy. You will note that mathematics is not<br />
included here. This is because it is viewed by supporters <strong>of</strong> the EU model as mainly a subordinate proving tool<br />
to observation and experimentation and to the conclusions drawn from those activities. This stands in contrast<br />
to the way today’s astro-science has come to view the subject <strong>of</strong> theoretical mathematics. Instead <strong>of</strong> using it<br />
as a proving tool for obtained results, they have for many decades given it a leading role, an attitude that has<br />
encouraged an environment where the formulation and acceptance <strong>of</strong> impossible theories is commonplace.<br />
The status that mathematics has in the astro-science world is an evolved one that has in many ways turned out to<br />
be truly damaging. It seems that too much belief has been inappropriately placed in theoretical mathematics as a<br />
first-stop-shop for ideas and theories. As a result, not only have serious fundamental questions arisen about the<br />
direction and conclusions reached by today’s astro-science, the big picture seems also to have become overly<br />
