: Mainstream science struggles to explain why the Sun's outer atmosphere (the corona) is millions of degrees hotter than its surface. EU theorists claim this is expected if the Sun is being electrically charged from the outside.

: Space is not a vacuum but is filled with conductive plasma .

The is an alternative cosmological model that challenges the standard "gravity-centric" view of the cosmos. While mainstream science relies on gravity as the primary force shaping the universe, EU proponents argue that electricity and plasma are the true engines behind cosmic phenomena. The Core Premise: Electromagnetism Over Gravity

Proponents, often associated with groups like The Thunderbolts Project, point to several observations they believe better fit an electrical model:

: By replacing dark matter and dark energy with electromagnetism—a force 103810 to the 38th power

The standard cosmological model posits that the universe is governed by gravity, requiring "invisible" elements like dark matter and dark energy to explain the movement of galaxies. In contrast, the Electric Universe theory suggests:

: Giant filaments of electricity, known as Birkeland currents, connect galaxies and stars like cosmic power lines.
