Good news from Nature Astronomy

[Bursus]

Hey guys wake up!!! Has anyone come across this groundbreaking observational discovery from MUSE, published on January 29 by Nature Astronomy?
"High-definition imaging of a filamentary connection between a close quasar pair at z = 3".
That's the revenge of Halton Arp and Wal Thornhill and the upheaval of Big Bang Cosmology towards Plasma Cosmology and the Electric Universe!
Of course they still use their classic lexicon: "intergalactic gas" istead of Birkeland currents, etc." Poor guys, they know little about electrodynamics ....
Please, are there any comments ?

Hi Bursus,

Is this a relevant link?

Hi nic c. No, the right link where you can find the article is this:
"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-024-02463-w"
In any case, on the web you can find various other articles that report the discovery of the filament connection with its picture taken after a long time of observation.
I think that this discovery is extremely important because is a clear confirmation of the Halton Arp's theory and, though descripted as a gas connection, depicts clearly a Birkeland intergalactic plasma current as part of the intergalactic circuits of the Hannes Alfven's theory.

I am a big fan of Halton Arp, in fact I recently purchased my 2nd copy of "Seeing Red", as I think I loaned out my first copy.
it is amazing on what a thorough job Arp (who has a perfect mainstream resume ) does to effectively falsify the Red Shift equals distance assumption, and hence the Big Bang; and became a mainstream persona non grata and whose work was simply dismissed or explained with statistically improbable chance alignments.

It is good to see a study of plasma connected galaxies.
However, they are using it to enhance the Cold Dark Matter hypothesis.
They will not yield to any proposed new theory until the new theory explains everything.
They believe their Big Bang /Gravity Does Everything Else explains everything; so they will not yield
to anything new until it explains everything. Falsifying the old science is not enough.

This is a fundamental flaw in science today.
They are unwilling to say: " "it seems there is anomalous data, our idea is wrong, we don't know what is really going on out there" " !!!!

We need more connected objects , in space, with different red shift numbers.
I guess one Halton Arp, and all his anomalous data, is not enough.

Hi jacmac,
It goes beyond that. Arp has cited more than enough redshift anomalies; to the point where the next logical step for science is to consider the redshift equals distance theory (and as follows the BB) is effectively falsified. Consensus cosmology and much of astrophysics has become a religion. Observation and experiment are the foundation of science, and from that models based on mathematics can be constructed for better understanding. I think that it started with Eddington, who seemed to put mathematics as the foundation of science and observation and experiment has been relegated to a supporting role, and is made to fit into a preconceived mathematical framework.
The cart has been put before the horse.

I agree.
Some years ago, in a used book store, I was looking in an astronomy book I did not purchase.
There was a couple of pages on Halton Arp. The author reported on public comments, at an astronomy conference,
between a small group of astronomers and Mr. Arp.
They told him: You have anomalous data, but we have a theory that explains everything and you don't.
So, we are sticking with our theory. Arp has falsified their standard theory, but they don't care.
