More than welcome mate, you've been putting in some solid posts of late, and I've enjoyed reading through them immensely.

Please forgive my recent absence from the threads. Wanted to join in with you and Internos, mikesingh. et al, but snowed under at the moment. So I'm ostensibly in lurker mode.

I appreciate any scientific insights, that is why I make threads like these,lol a educational/ research paper (from member input) type thing. Although I think that gravity is much more powerful than we think, it seems to be a 'smart' force. It isn't surprising if you think of gravity like Einstein, being a result of the curvature of spacetime. Why do we need gravitons or force carrying particles? I think both relativity and quantum mechanics are correct, as well some unknown things not discovered yet. I admit the insane amount of very confusing and odd string, brane, bosonic, etc, etc theories with the particle 'zoo' is as of now VERY QUESTIONABLE. But it seems like there is some proof of some of these being correct. I don't know, right now we are in over our heads to be honest with you.

Not a problem, and thank you for including me in that GREAT company.

If you want to blow peoples minds with Astronomy. Show this video about star size comparison.

Before you go embracing bogus theories spread on ATS, you should look at the existing literature (theories supported by observation) and then branch off into the fringe stuff.

Truth is stranger than fiction, anyways. Read up on quantum mechanics and relativity. It's all proven and it will blow your mind, unlike the 'electric universe theory.'

Oh well, I appreciate your advice, but I don't trust science so much since it always discovers new things which are contradictory to the present information they possess. Same happened to quantum physics, it was shunned at the beginning.

The fact is, those magnetars certainly have to do with electricity, don't they? Isn't magnetism closely related to electricity? Not necessarily electric "current", but the structure of atoms can create magnetic field and vice versus. And if the star (magnetar) is made of neutrons, where does the magnetism come from?

Also, it is a fact that no one really understands electricity. It is there, but if it is in neutron stars, how is that possible, since there is no difference in potential like between protons and electrons?


It is really easy to conceive a hypothesis. A supernova explosion expels all protons and electrons, and the remains are expelled later in bursts and that's what constitutes a pulsar. It actually radiates electricity... That's why neutrons stay in place.

Or, neutrons "produce" positrons and electrons in equal proportion...


If we strictly observe all matter as waves, theory of electric cosmos actually makes a lot of sense. Change in frequency is realized as different matter (transmutation). All particles have their own frequency.

Insulation is half of a transistor, isn't it? Insulators can be used to redirect electrical current. Computer processors, printed circuits, are very much like that. We don't know what is the "structure" of neutron stars on subatomic level. It could just be such to direct electrical current and offer no resistance by the way. Perhaps it can even behave as a catalyst. Definitely a source.

Frankly, science knows so little about neutron stars, and even less about quasars (which are curiously missing from this thread).

Thanks, and no problem.


The Universe on History Channel is GREAT for learning basic to intermediate knowledge on things. I can not say enough about that show, we watched it many times in my astronomy 101 class last year, so that should say a lot. It is the best series History as ever had IMHO.

great post


i reminded me of this vid i saw a while back

never forget how crazy big the universe is.

Great addition

Yes, the Universe is HUGE and likely infinite, some of those hypergiant stars are ridiculous, you can bet they will likely end up as a black hole. It is crazy that we can now predict that stuff. LOL, it is like the wait for the big event.

This is what realy put it all into perspective for me. It is a website that lets you listen to the sounds of some famous pulsars.
It is difficult to concieve that something the mass of a star is rotating so fast that it sounds like a dentists drill.
