Many Internet forums have carried discussion of the Electric Universe hypothesis. Much of that discussion has added more confusion than clarity, due to common misunderstandings of the electrical principles. Here we invite participants to discuss their experiences and to summarize questions that have yet to be answered.

I attempted to post the following on "rationalwiki.org"
The "Electric Universe" (EU) is an umbrella term that covers various modern [[Cosmology|cosmological]] ideas built around the discovery that the formation and existence of various features of the universe can be better explained by [[electromagnetism|electric currents and magnetic fields]] than by [[gravity]]. The exact claims are diverse and vary from author to author. A common motif is the insistence that all science should be subject to experimentation in a laboratory. Most Electric Universe proponents claim consistency to the "Plasma Cosmology" of the [[Nobel Prize]] laureate Hannes Alfvén, as well as support for Dr. Anthony Peratt, and Dr. Eric Lerner.

*EU advocates point to the work done by [http://plasmaredshift.org//Curriculum_Vitae.html U.N. IAEA Director Dr. Ari Brynjolfsson] as providing the legitimate Scientific explanation of the Red Shift phenomenon as opposed to that proposed by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Lema%C3%AEtre Big Bang Creationism, Catholic Monk Georges Lemaitre and rejected by Einstein & Hubble.]

*EU advocates believe any theory regarding the Red Shift phenomenon must be consistent with the Quasar discoveries of Astronomer Halton C. Arp.

*EU advocates also promote awareness of the failures and inconsistencies in claims by Big Bang Creationists highlighted by the World Renowned Dr. Pierre-Marie Robitaille who uncovered a variety of flaws in the COBE & WMAP data.

==Claims==
*[Some] craters on [[Venus]], [[Mars]] and the [[Moon]] are not only caused by impacts, but by electrical discharges.<ref>http://www.electric-cosmos.org/planets.htm</ref> The same may apply to the Valles Marineris (a massive canyon on Mars) and the [[Grand Canyon]] on Earth.

But was blocked by this "bloak" here:

This is the quality of these "wiki" moderators.

Would recommend everyone try to "repost" this edit of mine or something similar or better.
