Glad you've enjoyed the thread, likewise I've enjoyed your posts.
Your comparison between the unseen forces and unproven forces inside the sun and the galactic source is fair. As has been stated even from the good
professor himself, is that the external power source is the most speculative part of the theory.
Rather than try to explain in my laymans understanding here's what the Professor says about that point.
Whether or not Juergens was completely correct in his assertion that the Sun is totally or partially powered by external electrical excitation is
really not the most important aspect of the Electric Star (ES) hypothesis.
This question is one of the most controversial and speculative aspects of plasma cosmology. So it is an easy one to pick on.
What is important is that most of the phenomena we observe on and above the photospheric surface of the Sun (a partially ionized plasma) are
explainable in terms of well-known properties of plasma. This is true no matter how the Sun gets its power.
I would say while it may be speculative, in my opinion the lines of logic point in that direction. Of course you have to be aware of the evidence that
already exists.
Also, if the universe is powering the sun then doens't that argue against the entire topic of stellar evolution?
It sure does.
If the sun is dependant on the universe and not a standalone entity, then why does it go through phases of stellar evolution and why do stars
blow up eventually? Does the universe one day decide to overdose massive stars so they become red giants? Why would the universe one day want the sun
to become a white dwarf eventually? Does the universe not want lifeforms in the vicinity after a few billion years?
Good questions, once again Mr Scott can explain.
Here's a link to what he has to say about stellar evolution. It's literally turned on it's head.

My guess is a blazar would the be the focus point (pinch) of the larger scale currents that form the galaxy. It's brightness would also be the result
of external currents on a larger scale. Better to be looking at the area of galaxy formation.
Also the big hairy guy makes a good analogy in regards to supernova.
Anyway thanks for your post all of your questions are very fair and you do have a valid point, but I wouldn't call the accusation laughable but
reasonable in the case regarding sunspots, as was implied. Why are they black when we looking closer to the supposed source? this is where the common
sense fails and gives way to invention.
On the other hand there are lines of reason based on evidence that point in a direction.
Lot's of questions, but there are lots of answers too, please don't jump the gun.
