Your favorite "cutting-edge scientific iconoclast" appears to be a proponent of Neo-Velikovskianism. In other words, a pseudoscientific crank.

Given the fact that, despite the neo-Velikovskians' claims to the contrary, the standard stellar model is so successful at explaining the observations while the Electric Star model is rife with problems and outright violations of basic physics, it is understandable why the former enjoys unanimous support in the scientific community, while the latter is considered a pseudoscience.

That's just the point...the "standard stellar model" DOESN'T explain many observations sufficiently, as you will see if you read Thornhill's previous posts.
