Creative Cow is talking about the "Electric Universe Model"

As I understand it the general idea of this 'alternate' model is that electromagnetism is the dominate force that shapes the universe, not gravity.

Here are a few threads that talk about this:

http://www.bautforum.com/against-mainstream/7293-electric-cosmos.html
http://www.physicsforums.com/archive/index.php/t-71145.html

I had coffee with a few Astronomy grad students a month ago and asked one of them about this model. He hadn't even heard of it. I think that's a fair representation of its validity as a scientific theory. :)

Yeah. Exactly. Whoever Creative Cow is. =P Hehe.

Though watching the video it makes sense..but then again..so does the gravity model.

But could be a mix of both.

But I do not know.
