My professional work focuses on two things: astrophysics and science communication. In astrophysics the challenge is often to distinguish the signal from the noise. That is, you sift through large amounts of observational data to find the useful bit of data that tells you something about the universe. In science communication the opposite is true.
Testing the Electric Universe
Why the Electric Universe is provably, clearly and ridiculously wrong.
Sing the Body Electric
Supporters of the electric universe model will argue that these discrepancies can be overcome by modifying the theory. If you tweak this or that in the model then it can be made to agree with experimental observation. But tweaking a model to make it fit is a weak argument. Using a model to make a clear prediction is a stronger one.
