ATTN!! QUESTIONS FOR WAL THORNHILL!

[Michael Goodspeed]

Ok Folks,

I've been terribly derelict to not post this query earlier, but here goes...

In about 24 hours, I'm going to be interviewing Wal Thornhill on the general topic of "the most common misconceptions of the electric universe." We'll be addressing the incorrect assertions about EU promulgated by the Internet guerrilla warriors, most of whose names are well-known to the frequenters of this forum. I'd like for users to post here any questions they might have for Wal on said topic. Where misconceptions exist, they need to be exposed in no uncertain terms!! The interview is only going to be roughly 30 minutes, so I'm obviously limited in the number of questions I can ask.

Your help will be much appreciated!!

Michael,

What are the incorrect assertions about the EU?
Who are the internet guerilla worriors ?
Can you give some names please.
Sorry I could not understand the main line of the interview, maybe you can elaborate.

Thanks

Some samples of what I consider incorrect assertions about EU promulgated on the Internet...

"Sure, the electric force is much stronger than gravity at the sub-atomic level, but at the macrocosmic level gravity is incomparably more powerful." And, "Charge separation in space is immediately neutralized..." And, "the electric universe rewrites the known laws of physics." I'm not quoting a specific individual here -- these are some of the general claims that I've seen EU critics make in various Internet forums in recent years.

Those I consider "Internet guerrilla warriors" would include the individuals who contributed to Wikipedia's shameful treatment of its (now deleted) entry on the EU. I don't think I need to name any names -- we've already had lengthy discussions about at least one such individual here.

I'll rephrase my question slightly: Have you personally encountered what you consider an incorrect assertion about the Electric Universe? If so, what was asserted?

I just wanted to give some of our members the chance to ask Wal a direct question (without deviating from the interview's main topic).

So what happened with the interview? You said 24 hrs, that was 5 days ago.

To my understanding there was a technical glitch which prevented the interview from going ahead as planned. It will be conducted at the earliest convenience, and we sincerely apologise for the delay.

Cheers, Dave Smith.
