Quasar Gas Clouds Found Disappearing Explainable by Arp

For those of you who are new to Thunderbolts, or have little scientific background, I want to show you how simple these ideas are.
We've all seen lightning, and heard the resulting thunder. Scientists have been telling us that what happens is that the flash of lightning heats the air, causing it to expand. This rapid expansion is what we hear as thunder. There are two problems with that idea. We don't see enough heat to cause this much expansion. Also, the thunder spreads out more like we would expect from some electrical effect, than it would from heating. O.K.,enough about thunder.
We look out in space and see quasars. We are not really sure what they are. Some scientists think they are shooting out from galaxies, and that maybe they are some kind of electrical discharge. Now we see that gas seems to be blowing away from them so quickly, and it's difficult to explain that much expansion.
If you can see that whatever causes thunder to expand so quickly from a lightning bolt, might be the same thing that causes gas to expand so quickly from a quasar, then good for you. You already understand thunder and quasar gas clouds better than most scientists.
