Spiraling Magnetic Signal Shows Up In the Cosmic Background

pln2bz writes "Astronomers looking for confirmation for emissions from early stellar formation in the cosmic microwave background radiation instead found a signal indicating large amounts of unaccounted-for spiraling magnetic fields in space, but without any accompanying infrared emissions. The discovery possibly dredges up the claims of plasma cosmologists like Eric Lerner, who claim that the intergalactic medium is a strong absorber of the CMB with the absorption occurring in a fog of narrow filaments. These filaments are the result of plasma's natural tendency, as observed within the plasma laboratory and in novelty plasma globes, to form braided, ropelike structures which are collimated by coiled magnetic fields."

Interesting thing about the Electric Universe...

[Anonymous Coward]

Theory, is that the electric fields and plasma phenomenon it's rooted in can be directly observed in laboratories around the world and in space in our own solar system and around numerous planets.

But the phenomenon modern astronomy accepts as true? Black holes? Still theoretical and they've never been directly observed. Dark matter and dark energy? They never been directly observed either. Astronomers might as well be looking for unicorns and leprechauns.

In fact most of modern astronomy depends on largely theoretical and in some cases "invisible matter." But you can't say the same about the Electric Universe model of the Universe which is rooted in testable and observable phenomenon. Yet oddly enough some wish to criticize the model rooted in reality versus the one rooted in fantasy.
