There seems to be a lack of an introductory thread, so i'll say my hello here...
I am someone who's had a long connection to the sciences, i've been reading about complex astrophysics since middle school, but eventually got to a point of fatigue with endless ambiguity and aimless blabbing about whatever they think is going on in the universe and diverting from the path of true science. I finally got some interest again in astrophysics (necessary for a story i'm working on) due to famous speech-repeaters like Neil deGrasse Tyson and Michio Kaku who had a sense of humour. Of course they still had the usual problem of regurgitating the theories based upon loose hypotheses. I, like many others, have been searching for a Unified Field Theory. While i'm no mathematician, nor have significant education behind me, i do have a talent for sniffing out objectivity vs subjectivity. That's when i finally found this Plasma Cosmology thing.
Plasma Cosmology explanations and such seemed very hard to follow, and it took me a bit to really piece together and fully grasp this Electric (Electromagnetic) Universe model. To be frank, the Thunderbolts Project needs to piece together some good feature length videos that can really summarize it and send home the message properly to newcomers in a way that's hard to reject outright. With all these elaborate hypotheses being built upon something that's not understood, it leads to a lot of confusion and easy "debunk" fodder; stuff like the Saturn scenario makes absolutely no sense and is even a stretch once you have the prerequisite knowledge.
What the Electric Universe model is, is the infancy of a practical Unified Field Theory that has it's basis in testable reality. This is a very exciting prospect, and means that once it catches on, we'll have a massive paradigm shift and a leap forward unlike any other in human history. One of the first things to change, will be the inability to continue denying the possibility of Tesla Net energy logic; power available to anyone with a receptor. That said, there's no need to to attack the establishment; we're all equal if we seek the objective truth, some people are just victims or unfortunate core misunderstandings. There is also the concern that such a revolutionary overturning could flip the global economy upside down, creating a big mess. The world treads shaky ground.
I'm an aspiring fiction writer, and i'm working on a project of immense ambition. I intend to put as much of my knowledge of the universe and humanity as i possibly can into it. Being someone who's learned much about physics on a conceptual level (minus the math), there's always been something blatantly apparent: the fact that we're beating around the bush and all pretty much saying the same thing without actually saying it; that Electromagnetism is the Unified Field. The only remaining problem is how to quantify gravity with electromagnetism. A lot of the controversies and issues and misdirection comes from the misunderstanding and opinionated interpretations of the original hypotheses by various scientists, such as magnetism, and particle-wave duality, and entanglement. Once the misconceptions are cleared up, there's not much left but the necessity to accept a significantly, if not entirely, Electromagnetic Universe.
As a story writer, i spend my time trying to make sense of things, and what they actually mean and how that will affect other things. I seek to get the most realistic science i can manage to get my hands on, and then extrapolating from there to a point where i'm considering things like what a civilization might look like if the nature of the universe was long understood and utilized. There's a sore lack of realistic-basis and creativity in modern science fiction, and i intend to try and change that (not total fantasy, nor unrealistically gritty). One example of a technology i've already cooked up in my past couple months of studying EU, is what i call the Filamentary Drive. basically it uses an electrical process (similar to a railgun, an extension of the Lorentz force logic) to drive along Birkeland currents like a cable ferry. I was looking for a realistically viable non-Newtonian propulsion/impulsion method (that could be used in a state of limited mass-interaction, i.e. fictional phase cloak), and once i thought about, it the answer was staring me in the face. I intend to write my story to not only tell a story, but also depict a universe of people and conflicts within a semi-understood unified field.
I wish to learn more technical details and gain more insights into the macrospect of the Electromagnetic Universe to improve my project, and i hope i can help improve understanding and development of the electric universe model – through the writer's perspective – in the way i do best: grasping the whole with it's implications, and having far reaching ideas.
