I'd like to see a discussion about the matter/anti-matter issue as well. This is the quote from the TPOD.
As physicist and Electric Universe advocate Wal Thornhill wrote: "In the Electric Universe model, there is no antimatter forming antiparticles. An electron and a positron are composed of the same charged sub-particles in different conformations. They come together to form a stable neutrino, emitting most of their orbital energies in the process. They do not annihilate each other. In that sense a neutrino embodies both the electron and the positron. It can have no antiparticle. The bookmakers would be wise not to bet on the Standard Model of particle physics."
I did a search and found the original quote in Thronhill's article:

Solar neutrino puzzle is solved?

I found this other quote from the same article.
If neutrinos do have mass it will tend to confirm the Electric Universe model. In it, neutrinos are not fundamental particles but are comprised of the same charged sub-particles that make up all matter. They are the most collapsed form of matter known. When a positron and an electron "annihilate", the orbital energy in both is radiated as a gamma ray and the sub-particles that comprised them both assume a new stable orbital configuration of very low energy, or mass. Matter cannot be created from a vacuum nor annihilated in this model. The differences between the neutrino "flavours" is merely one of different quantum states and therefore different masses.
What are the "sub-particles" that he's talking about.
We need to know what the basic building blocks of matter are to understand how transmutation/nucleosynthesis occurs. There have been many TPODs and Thunderblog essays that sneer at the standard model of particle physics, and the waste of money for particle accelerators, but I have never seen a clear discussion of what the EU model for particle physics is.
That whole issue needs to be clarified if we are to understand what is going on in the universe: from quasars being ejected from galaxies, that then evolve into galaxies themselves, containing stars and planets made up of all the elements in the periodic table.
We need something more than just ambiguous hand waving, or reusing the same vague quote over and over. There needs to be a clear series of articles building up an understanding of the basic particles and how the elements are formed; from the aether on up through the periodic table.
Just as we have the various EU books describing the Electric Sun, etc..., we need
The Electric Elements as well.
I knew that the Growing Earth Theory was missing from the EU stuff, and that the issue of quasars becoming galaxies had not been addressed fully, but until this moment I didn't realize that there was such a glaring chunk missing from the EU puzzle. We've essentially been working on one nearly complete corner of an even larger puzzle. It's only now that I noticed we had no edge pieces on two sides.
