First and foremost, it doesn't appear that the electric universe model makes any quantitative predictions. I don't see any models for how stars and galaxies are supposed to form and behave, just a bunch of words about how gravitational models make too many assumptions or rely on too much theory, whatever that means.

$\begingroup$ @Andy Scientists are always trying to find a simple, unified explanation, so your impulse to find such an explanation in the Electric Universe is admirable. It's just that, as pointed out by several commenters, the theory makes a whole bunch of predictions that were proved to be completely wrong long before the guy who cooked up ...

2018年11月20日 · That already represents a large portion of what is found in space. In fact, all things considered by using a rough estimate you can show that up to $99,9~\%$ of the observable universe is made up of plasma. 3) About the "electric universe", I won't comment as this statement sounds a bit vague to me.

2020年2月14日 · The voltage at the surface of the Earth would be $4.2\times10^{20}$ volts and the electric field strength would be $6.6\times10^{13}$ volts per meter. This would be a problem for atomic structure as this kind of field strength would ionize atoms. These calculations are for amusement. They are not an endorsement of the silly Electric Universe ...

2013年3月18日 · Electric charge is just a measure of the strength of a particle's interaction with the electromagnetic field (i.e., photons). Particles don't obtain a charge from the the field. Saying that a particle has a given charge is the same as saying it interacts with the electromagnetic field with a certain strength. Just a shorthand way of saying it.

2015年8月22日 · And double that because all those quarks each have an antiparticle with the corresponding anticolor and opposite electric charge just like the electron had its antiparticle, the positron. Then there two more leptons like the electron the muon and the tau lepton (each has two spins and an antiparticle with opposite electric charge).

2022年2月21日 · To our best knowledge, the observable universe is neutral. All evidence at hand suggests that the number of electrons in the universe is (almost) identical to the number of protons. If tis was not the case, the electromagnetic force, which is $\sim 10^{39}$ times stronger than the gravitational force, would dominate in the universe. Earth would ...

One can hand wave a lot of "theories" that sound logical. It is called "science fiction". There is a series of books by Terry Pratchett where he imagines a whole universe with different physical laws including magic. He makes it sound so logical, and two books have been written about "the science of Diskworld". Fun.

2016年8月2日 · If supersymmetry is unbroken then the zero point energy of the quantum field theory of the universe is zero. In a topological field theory perspective this means the total energy is zero, and we are motivated to think this continues to the low energy regime with broken supersymmetry.

2020年2月13日 · Molecular chemistry in the early universe requires species with bound electrons. Helium hydride is the first molecule to form because neutral helium atoms, formed about 120,000 years after the big bang, could combine with plentiful protons; but it was another 260,000 years until significant numbers of neutral hydrogen atoms formed, and it is only once these are …
