How do celestial objects form in the cosmos?
At all cosmological scales in standard cosmology—from condensation of dirty snowball comets in a primordial nebular cloud; to gradual accretion of planets forming in a disc around a star; to gravitational collapse and compression of gas and dust in molecular clouds forming stars—the vast majority of astronomers think only the gravitational processes govern formation of the objects observed in the universe.
Well over a decade has been invested in juxtaposing theoretical predictions and explanations of the Standard Model with those of the Electric Universe Model and plasma cosmology. In the EU Model, it is experimentally verified plasma phenomena of Birkeland currents and the electromagnetic Bennet pinch, or Z-pinch.
