If you think this crackpot model of gravity is fun, you're in for a treat. Here are some of their other claims:
https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Electric_Universe
- Einstein's postulates are wrong.[8]
- General relativity (GR) is wrong.[9]
- The Universe is not expanding.[10]
- The electric force travels faster than the speed of light with near-infinite velocity.[8]
- Gravity has two poles like a bar magnet; dipole gravity.[11]
- A plenum of neutrinos forms an all-pervasive aether.[8]
- Planets give birth to comets.[12]
- Stars do not shine because of internal nuclear fusion caused by gravitational collapse. Rather, they are anodes for galactic discharge currents.[13]
- Impact craters on Venus, Mars and the Moon are not caused by impacts, but by electrical discharges.[14] The same applies to the Valles Marineris (a massive canyon on Mars) and the Grand Canyon on Earth.[15]
- The Sun is negatively charged, and the solar wind is positively charged — the two systems forming a giant capacitor (this is James McCanney's particular erroneous belief.)[16]
- EU proponents from the Thunderbolts Project claim to have predicted the natures of Pluto and Comet 67P more accurately than NASA or ESA.[17][18]
- The sun is a space lamp getting power from something somewhere, we've never observed this stream of electricity nor any of these power sources that are on the center of each galaxy powering every star in them.
- That things like comets are electric, we've never observed such a thing as an electric comet.
- That craters are scars left from space thunderstorms, we've never observed such a phenomenon. It also claims that things like meteors are not what causes them despite the fact that we literally have video footage of meteor impacts.
- That gravity is electromagnetic in nature which implies that it can be repulsive too, yet it has failed to demonstrate antigravity.
This is why I'm asking HIAG to justify his own beliefs rather than allowing him to fob me off with opinion pieces on the internet.
So far on the scale of provable claims he's striking out.
