An Introduction to the Electric Universe
Somewhere between "God spoke, and it was so" and the "millions and billions of years" of gradualism is the truth. This Third Story, radically different from both the religious and the academic ones, listens to our ancient ancestors giving us an account of planetary catastrophism delivered by electrical interactions in relatively recent times. This Third Story challenges the incredible modern mythology that relies on vast amounts of time to resolve the most fundamental issues and gives us such sensational, outlandish constructs such as the big bang, black holes, dark matter, dark energy, false vacuums, string theory, etc. This Third Story draws much from modern space exploration, geology, and the plasma laboratory, and is faithful to a synthesis educated by all the scientific disciplines, including human psychology.
