So What Is EU/PC? For too many years now cosmologists and astrophysicists have developed their models around a gravitycentric theory, as if electricity has no role in space. Nothing could be further from the truth. The electric universe/plasma cosmology theories do not seek to dismiss gravity , but to enhance our understanding of the universe by acknowledging the role that the far superior force of electricity plays not only here on Earth (as if by some unique miracle), but also throughout the cosmos. Nature doesn't do things the hard way. Plasma cosmology is nothing new . Pioneers such as Kristian Birkeland, Irving Langmuir, Hannes Alfvén, Ralph Juergens, Halton Arp, Anthony Peratt and others have been investigating the electric alternative to gravitycentric models for a century now, and utilizing such tools as observation , laboratory replication and computer simulation to develop their theories. Meanwhile mainstream cosmologists have not only ignored but also denied the role of electricity in space, despite recent plasma laboratory experimentation which tends to support the electical theorists , and offered us an ever-increasing list of ad hoc patches for their theories which are continually confounded by even the most recent observations made since the 'space age' began. The disastrous results have been the inception of the big bang, black holes, dark matter, dark energy and a host of other hypothetical entities which rightly belong in the field of science fiction, rather than science fact. Why Should I Care? Why should you care? Because, it's your money, Ralph! Billions are spent chasing these invisible, fictional entities around the universe and inventing extra dimensions and fanciful notions which can never be tested, whilst the little which gets spent on furthering our understanding of plasma science does nothing but confirm the position of the electrical theorists . But that's just my take on it, and to take my word for it would be as foolish as taking the word of the mainstream scientists that nothing really did go BANG (?!?!) to create the universe we observe today. Explore it for yourself. Have an open mind. I am sure that if you follow the evidence, you'll come away with a completely different concept of the universe than the one you grew up with. And it can't hurt to at least have a look at it, can it? It is my hope that you enter this site into the 'favourites' section of your browser and use it as a gateway for all of your EU/PC related studies. [ top ] About This Site PlasmaResources.com is the culmination of spending many days, hundreds if not thousands of hours, searching for information relating to electric universe and plasma cosmology themes. Whilst there are many great resources (and some not so great) on the web to research almost anything, sorting the wheat from the chaff is not easy, especially for the newcomer to the electronic wizzardry required to navigate to and save the good stuff. With this in mind I decided to put together a bunch of EU/PC relevant links and display them all in a place free of bells and whistles, free of advertising, free of clutter, in fact totally free of anything but resource links... and maybe the gratuitous use of some awesome imagery just for fun. I have also included a wide variety of mainstream and alternative sources of information for balance, found mostly on the 'More Resources' and 'Odds and Ends' pages. It is my intention that this site be used by everyone from the serious scientist to the layperson. It is laid out in a simple and straightforward manner both to aid navigation and to avoid distractions. This site also aims to be 'disability-friendly'. Layout Each page contains navigation on the left , and quick-links on the right . The centre includes the links for that page but also has a brief summary of what each site is about. This way those who are new to the topics or the sites can find out a little more about what they want to investigate, whilst those familiar with the sites can click straight to them without having to scroll down a page full of comments. The bold ed sections of the center page links are used for the quick links. Comments directly from the site concerned are in "quoted italic" font, and excerpted from the page concerned or an "About" or similar page somewhere on site. Images I have endeavoured to minimise page loading times by including small display images. A mid-sized option (Dial-up/Forum size) is supplied in the hope of allowing dial-up users to enjoy great pics without having to wait a week, and also to facilitate smarter bandwidth usage on forums, by encouraging those who wish to copy images for posting on forums to keep to a maximum image size of 400 pixels in either dimension. The large (Enlarge) pics are mostly sized to fit on screen without waiting too long, and the HiRes option, only available on some of the images, offers still larger JPEGs or TIFF files, for those with generous internet plans. User Participation Whilst I have made every endeavour to include materials mostly relevant to EU/PC themes, it is often quite difficult to draw the line, and I welcome criticism and suggestions from serious users for improving the site in any way. I am happy to consider suggestions for further links, and there are probably some important ones I have not personally come across yet. I do not however intend it to become a free-for-all for any and all alternative themes out there, and will only include sites with some relevance to the topic, or which I consider interesting from an EU/PC study perspective. This is a dynamic site with ongoing changes and expansion. Your participation is encouraged. If you have a site you would like to have included on this site, e-mail me with the details. Likewise I encourage those who's sites I have linked to, to add a link to this site as a comprehensive directory of further study resources. Should you come across any links which don't work, please use the 'Report Broken Links' tag from the page concerned .
