"On the big roadmap of the universe, bustling clusters of galaxies are connected by long highways of plasma weaving around the wilderness of empty space. These interspace roadways are known as filaments, and they can stretch for hundreds of millions of light-years, populated only by dust, gas and busy electrons driving very close to the universal speed limit."
Turns out the potheads who said that the Universe is the same on a universal scale as it is on the microscopic scale, were right.
Thanks for the Electric Universe Ping. . . Just got off a cruise ship coming back from Alaska where, alas, it was continually overcast so did not see the aurorae borealis. Twice now I’ve been to Alaska and the weather has conspired to deny me a view of the aurorae. RATS!
