The Plasma Universe. Anthony Peratt is an Electrical Engineer, Astrophysicist, and leading authority on Plasma Phenomena. He was a graduate student of Hannes Alfven, a former scientific advisor to the United States department of Energy, and he is a member of the Associate Laboratory Directorate of the Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Papers on Plasma Cosmology

"Plasma is for everyone." Anthony Peratt

The Electric Cosmos is yet another excellent resource. Don Scott, pictured above right, is a retired professor of electrical engineering. His great new book, The Electric Sky, is available to order here.

www.thunderbolts.info is the leading resource for the Electric Universe. It is updated with fascinating and challenging news items on a daily basis. The archive can be viewed here. A quote from the site:

"The fires of an intellectual revolution have been lit. Though unannounced, this shift in thought and perception will change our ideas about the natural world, about objects in space, and about the human past."

Holoscience is the web resource of Wal Thornhill, the man behind the Electric Universe.  The term 'Electric Universe' has been used before, but never in the same broad, holistic sense.

The Plasma Universe is an excellent resource set up by Ian Tresman, a long time plasma and catastrophism reseacher, also well known in the field.

Plasma Resources is another excellent resource site. Dave Smith created this after growing frustration trying to find relevant materials on mainstream web sites.

Rupert Sheldrake is one of the world’s most innovative biologists, and is best known for his theory of morphic fields and morphic resonance, which leads to a vision of a living, developing universe with its own inherent memory.

The SIS, Society for Interdisciplinary Studies, is the oldest and most comprehensive resource for catastrophist information and research.

The Kronia Group also takes an interdisciplinary approach to myth, science, and planetary catastrophe.

Mythopedia.info introduces Plasma Mythology. Marinus Anthony van der Sluijs has enjoyed a lifelong interest in the field.

Varchive.org is probably the leading resource for Velikovsky related material, including video clips and much of his fascinating correspondence with Einstein.

Dragon Science also offers a fine blend of mythology and science.

Maverick Science takes a scholarly look at mythology and catastrophism.

"There are those who think that few discoveries remain to be made. Others think that we have only just begun." Anon

For a more conservative approach to Plasma Physics try Dr David Stern's site. (He is a retired NASA scientist.) It is an excellent resource, and raises a strong challenge to mainstream perceptions of an electrically neutral universe. Curiously, the last time I looked (April 2005), it made no mention of Double Layers, one of the most important plasma phenomena.

The Coalition for Plasma Science aims to increase public awareness and understanding of plasma science and its many applications and benefits for society. Here is a quote form the site:

"With the emergence of radio wave, UV and X-ray images of distant astrophysical systems, we are now beginning to recognize the importance of plasma processes not just for the solar system but for all astrophysical systems. New images of stellar nebulae like that of the supernova remnant shown above dramatically reveal a broad range of plasma processes... Wherever these research frontiers lead, we now know that our cosmos is more than just gravity plus gas; instead it is gravity, some neutral gas, and lots of plasma!"

The work of Halton Arp has effectively destroyed the theoretical basis for an expanding universe.

The Big Bang meets an astronomical death by Paul Marmet.

Nikola Tesla is sometimes described as the man who invented the 20th century, although others have all too often claimed the credit for much of his work. Also, see the page on this site dedicated to him.

Aetherometry is the study of the metrics of the Aether. It is influenced by the work of Tesla, amongst others, and there are some interesting parallels with ideas presented on this web site.

Fun with electricity. John Dyer plays with Tesla coils and produces some interesting results. Imagine these effects being scaled up thousands of times. See a picture from his lab, above right.

What is Electricity? This excellent web resource cuts through many of the misconceptions that surround the stuff we take very much for granted -- "Electricity." The term actually encompasses a number of different phenomena, and you'll be surprised how many textbooks get it wrong.

Skeptical investigations examines some of the controversy surrounding new research.

The Alternative Cosmology group
