    To put it differently: He used observations and reason to discover reality.
    Everything is or depends upon electricity in one form or another...from the quantum to the macro, not to mention, the creation on living matter.

    Great way to introduce this body of work that is quickly making the gravitational model obsolete.
    The only Truth, as I posit, is the quantum, natural and physical laws, however, our understanding of truth will evolve as we gain more knowledge about these natural, quantum and physical laws.

      "He used observations and reason to discover reality."
      How quaint! How old-fashioned!
      That's definitely not how you got politicized in-crowd science funded for the last eight years.
      Me dino is not sure how that's working out now.

    How many ways are there to start a fire? Is there one way that is better than all the others? These folks are working on a different way that the universe is constructed, but the fascinating thing is that it doesn't negate the way we have used it it in the past and are using it in the present. It is like looking at a single thing, but by changing
    your positions you see what appears to be something entirely different. Just think of creating a galaxy 2 inches in diameter in which times are stretched to thousand of intervals slower than ours and then look at our galaxy and wonder if.....

    It is a bit of a trend among "libertarian" (in the broad sense) to be partial to any "rebel" science. But this one is quackery.

    I put part of the blame on bad science (climate, anyone?) for bringing actual, solid science into this kind of disrepute.

      Please explain what is quackery.

        Sorry, I am really not interested in playing whack-a-mole on particular species of pseudoscience. My comment is more on the need for a healthy dose of skepticism and independent investigation before jumping enthusiastically on the wagon of "alternative" science. Too many "libertarians" already do discredit to the field by falling for alternative medicine, anti-vaxxer propaganda and so on. It doesn't help in the credibility stakes.

    Were the sun to be instantly snuffed out, how long until we don't see the sun according to the EU crowd? Instantly. They predict there will never be fusion power plants as fusion is uncontrollable. Look to what they predict.

    This is interesting but what he was seeing is but one form of electricity: Static Electricity! There are many experimenters on YouTube doing similar work. It's really nothing new other than looking for funding. Now, if a product that could come out of this that would be great.
    Cleaning up diesel engines is a tough scenario, a lot has been done but to redesign Rudolph Diesel baby is an engineering problem not electric.
