from Bridgeman's pdf

I found I could hardly go 2-3 pages in Scott's book without finding major
ridiculous claims.

The difference between the successful scientists and the unsuccessful or
crank is the latter's continued pursuit of unsupportable claims.

But The Electric Sky is worse, for it does a poor job of representing the
standard plasma cosmology claims of Alfvén and Peratt.  Much of Scott's
material, particularly the Electric Stars claim, do not appear to be part
of Alfvén's cosmology, but part of something far more bizarre

In a book so incredibly wrong, it was difficult to write something short.
Even this analysis is far longer than I originally expected This paper is
a subset of my complaints.  I have notes on far more issues than are
presented in this monograph.

Considering how much of this type of bad science is being
regurgitated in the Creationist community to support their claims, I
suspect I will be revisiting some of these issues.

Dr. Scott states that astronomers assume that the physical laws in the
distant cosmos are different from those known on the Earth (page 7).
Wrong.  The default assumption is that the laws of are identical on the
Earth and in distant space.  

.....................

I looked at page 7. Bridgman must be a speedreader, What Scott writes is
just the opposite:

".. The hypotheses of these plasma scientists on the subject of solar,
stellar, and galactic behaviour are careful extrapolations of their
demonstrated experimental results and physical principles."

Scott follows this with..

"They do *not* involve invisible matter or unseen forces or "new science"
-- claims that the laws of physics must be different out there in deep
space (where we cannot verify them) from what they are here on Earth."

enuf!!
