Hi, this is my first post here. I am interested in many varied subjects and have been in search of a place to explore ideas and information about everything that comes to mind. Maybe ImmInst will be a good place to share my thoughts during down time at work.
About Plasma Theory, it postulates that the data we have points to a universe without a beginning, where electromagnetism is the dominant force. Some of the evidence that supports it is the revelation that redshift, which has been used to calculate the distance of celestial objects, is affected by clouds of superheated gas, or plasma. Pulsars that were previously thought to be distant have been observed interacting with nearby galaxies. This is a blow to the Big Bang Theory, which relies heavily on the redshift = distance belief. Another blow to the BB is the observation that galaxies are clustered into long threads, which are themselves clustered into superthreads. The BB does not allow enough time for such clustering to occur.
My understanding of this subject is limited to reading a book called The Big Bang Never Happened. I sure would like to know more. What do you think?
