Has anyone here heard of this theory? What do you think of it? I think it makes a lot more sense than the Big Bang Theory - http://www.holoscience.com/wp/
What about Immanuel Velikovsky 's works? Any opinion?
Perhaps we live in something like the Matrix after all :)

Who on this forum has a degree in economics?
I do, so never ever ever question what I say on Economics because those without a degree in the subject can't say anything of use about it. Further never ever question my brother on physics since he has a Theoretical Physics masters. Bow before the might of government accredited institutions.
The atoms tell the atoms so, for I never was or will but atoms forevermore be.

Philosophers have suggested this for literally thousands of years.
Can you please elaborate? Which philosophers?
Aristophanes.

It's easy to refute an argument if you first misrepresent it. William Keizer
pythagoras, plato, schopenhauer, tesla...
A physics theory without quantitative predictions? It sounds like BS.

Just looking at the webiste should let you know it is bs.
What is it with crackpot theories popping up on this forum every so often? So far we've had "The Physics of God and the Quantum Gravity Theory of Everything", "A Priori Physics", and "Why Modern Theoretical Physics Is A Lie".

We are the perfect target audience. Smart enough to follow an argument, interested in theoretical matters, and most important, not professional physicists.
And then there's the fact that modern cosmology and astrophysics is, well, laughable. I was just reading an article today on Space.com talking about the millions of unseen black holes sprinkled through the Milky Way. Uh huh, sure. The black hole is a metaphysical entity, people. Wake up!
Clayton -
Prove it, doctor.
Prove what?? Physicists themselves tell us that the center of a black hole is a point of infinite density. Now, I am merely applying their very own empiricism back onto them if I say, as you put it: prove it, doctor! If we can invoke infinite magnitudes to explain natural phenomena, then where are the limits? Why these infinitudes but not those? "Physics" that invoke infinite physical magnitudes is not physics, it is metaphysics.
The electric universe theory actually makes more sense to me. Wasn't Tesla also a proponent of this theory? I happen to think that Tesla was the greatest research scientist of all-time.
I wonder if the people who are currently pioneers in this field (plasma cosmoslogy) has done any extensive experiments to prove their convictions.
@Clayton - do you have any suggested reading material for me to better understand this theory? I read your other posts and i saw a lot of equations, you must have done a lot of research than I did!
@ Clayton - oh the way, what do you think of Immanuel Velikovsky's works? It was quite fascinating to read about it.
For reading material suggestions, I just recommend visiting thunderbolts.info and reading their articles as well as browsing their book store.
Velikovsky was a true Renaissance man. I have yet to read Worlds in Collision so I won't feign expertise. His hypotheses seem incredibly difficult to accept on first brush but I think he may be more correct than we are yet prepared to accept. Once you come to grips with the idea that the Solar System is an electrical system - in fact, that the entire visible Universe is an electrical system - it fundamentally reconfigures your entire way of thinking about the heavens. It's all connected.
The prevailing cosmological model sees the planets as "rocks whizzing through empty space, attracted by gravity to the Sun and each other". As our understanding of the solar medium, interstellar medium, etc. has evolved, it is clear that this old Newtonian model has failed, at a basic level, to grasp the causal relationships in the Solar System. This is not Newton's fault, since the physics of electrical phenomena was wholly unknown at that time. In fact, Newton explicitly called out his gravitation theory as "action at a distance" and derided anyone who believed that action at a distance is possible. This, in fact, is what modern physics holds... we call it "bending of space-time" but the only way that these supposed physical effects manifest themselves is in action at a distance.
