*Editorial Reviews*

*Review*

A magnificent description of electricity in space. Authors Thornhill and
Talbott offer a sweeping critique of today's popular cosmology. They
show that galaxies, stars (including our Sun), and comets can be best
understood through the well-tested behavior of electricity the one force
about which astronomers seem to know almost nothing. Having now devoted
many years to investigating this question, I am in full agreement.

--Donald E. Scott, professor of electrical engineering (retired)

The last 150 years have seen immense progress in the understanding of
electrical phenomena. Nevertheless, the conventional cosmology taught
today remains essentially a theory of gravity. "The Electric Universe"
presents an alternative theory that recognizes electrical forces as the
dominant influence in shaping the universe, and a major factor in
determining much of our cultural and historical experience. Based on
well-understood principles that can be observed and demonstrated in any
plasma laboratory, the electrical model also offers ready explanations
for processes that continue to puzzle astronomers today. Compelling,
highly readable, and superbly illustrated, this book provides a
comprehensive introduction to what will surely be the beginnings of a
scientific revolution in the years ahead. --James Hogan, science/SF author

On a plane back to London I read The Electric Universe from cover to
cover (the light above my seat was the only one that remained on
throughout the night). What a masterpiece. Each single sentence is
absolutely spot-on and well formulated. This is just such a powerful
textbook the potential and logic of the electric universe theory leaps
off every page. The omission of mythological and other ancient data from
the argument will undoubtedly help to forestall accusations of using
'tales and stories' to bolster a scientific theory. The book also
conveys a strong impression that this theory has reached full
maturation; it's not the incoherent ranting of someone exploding with a
lot of new ideas, but obviously the fruit of many years of careful
thinking and making associations. The soberness of tone and the lavish
illustrations strike the right chord and I find it hard to imagine a
reader who would not find the argument compelling. I have nothing to
contend with concerning the main argument. --Rens van der Sluijs

*Product Description*

6-3/4"x9" paperback, full color graphics and 140+ illustrations The
Electric Universe Monograph by Dave Talbott and Wallace Thornhill,
members of the Thunderbolts.info group, is powerful material about the
Electric Universe and plasma cosmology. This book not only complements
The Electric Sky book, but actually overlaps very little, while covering
cosmic quandaries and plasma and electricity in space. The chapter on
the electrical properties of comets is such great material, thoroughly
convincing.

Thornhill & Talbott's other work Thunderbolts of the Gods
and Scott's The Electric Sky

These are all rather excellent works of science by folks who know what
they're talking about, and don't need to resort to "dark matter," "dark
energy," "black holes," "neutron stars" or other fictitious entities to
explain the workings of the universe.

Rather they go about it from an electrical / plasma (ionized matter with
electrical properties) point of view. In this way, "surprising" features
from the "standard model" point of view are demystified as simple
electrical / plasma phenomena known from lab experiments and electrical
theory dating as far back as Birkeland, Alfven, CER Bruce, Juergens and
a host of others.

It's time that good science make its way back into physics and
astronomy. It's also time that abstract maths be put in their place as a
tool and NOT as a prime mover and shaker. Science should be based first
on observation {!}. That's exactly what Thornhill and Talbott do in The
Electric Universe. They *observe* the universe *as it is* and then apply
known electrical and plasma processes to explain it.

The material is accessible to the layman. However, it may behoove
readers to do additional reading to fill in any conceptual gaps. Keep an
open mind, and your world view may be changed forever. Mine has been
changed permanently since introduction to the material a year ago. The
universe is finally beginning to make some physical sense that has been
lacking in the sad world of "Big Bang" untested (often *untestable*
{!}), unproven hypotheticals (dark matter, dark energy, neutron stars,
black holes, WIMPs, MACHOs). It's time to end dogmatic adherence to a
paradigm that has consistently failed in its predictions and embrace an
electrical / plasma interpretation that can make specific testable
/verifiable predictions.

......

This is simply a phenomenal book on an alternative theory to account for
all scientific observations made in cosmology from decades ago to
present. I have also read The Electric Sky by Donald E. Scott and
Thunderbolts of the Gods by David Talbott and Wallace Thornhill. I
highly recommend all three of these wonderful books to anyone who has
the slightest interest in astronomy.

These books lay out the theory that electricity runs or powers the
universe. Electric currents are everywhere in the universe which
consists of 99% plasma which is matter with electric charge. Of course,
you can't have electricity without magnetism, so it is this force that
shapes and defines our magnificent universe.

It was so refreshing to read these books because it was like a great
veil being lifted from my eyes allowing me to truly understand what is
happening in our cosmos for the first time with real understanding. It
was suddenly so obvious. Common sense and logic coupled with direct
scientific observation and evidence plus testability of the theory
completely verifies and substantiates the claims made in these books.

If the rest of the scientific community can latch on to and accept the
truth stated in these books, we will truly enter a new age of
understanding and leave the current dark ages science has fallen into
behind. Talbott, Thornhill and Scott are true pioneers and their work is
highly valuable and important to furthering academic understanding.

5.0 out of 5 stars *Paradigm shattering, pathbreaking. Outstanding*,
November 12, 2007

By 	Fred L. Houpt

I am not a scientist. I have been fascinated by astronomy and cosmology
all my life. The more I read of quantum mechanical or mainstream
astonomical explanations for the cosmos, the more complicated and brain
twisting it has proceeded. Confusion and an all but impossible math and
scientific explanation or better put, an attempt at an explanation have
only made me feel totally unsatisfied. Then I found this book and my
mind has changed and everything seems much more sensible.

It is one thing to see modern physicists try their hands at explaining
the universe, almost all of which remains fastened to the paper, deeply
buried under an imcomprehensible language of convoluted and super
complex math and conceptual assumptions, it is quite another to be
introduced to the refreshing and verifiable, laboratory based Plasma
science....reducing to rubble almost every mainstream explanation of the
cosmos. Beginning from the simple precept that stellar matter is plasma
in manifestation, the authors go on to explain how comets, asteroids and
meteors operate. The book explains why galaxies appear the way they do.
Most controversially, they claim that they entire model for Black Holes
is bogus and explainable in electrical terms. Their explanations for
tornados on the sun, vortexs of electrical pathways put to bed any
notion that the inner realms of the sun is a vast thermonuclear bomb
factory. Also on the list of amazing claims, that stars that appear to
be blowing up (take for example Eta Carina) are in fact in the early
stages of becoming stars. There are so many explanations that turn
accepted cosmological "facts" on their behinds, that you get a sense at
how audacious it must have been to read of Galileo's claims.

They explain many mysterious facts about our own star in plasma terms
that all have a verifiable basis in reproducible experimentation. They
posit that much of mainstream cosmology has been following an
increasingly dead-end mentality and has shut it's mind to learning about
plasma in its many complicated states.

Since reading this book I no longer am interested in reading any more of
the reports from Universe Today or Space dot com because they are full
of the old thinking that I am convinced is wrong. Read this book and you
will never, ever be able to look at the universe in the same way again.
