We will need a new way of thinking, a new type of analysis, to evaluate these types of issues.

It's also likely that the nature of human consciousness is simply incapable of understanding neither scale nor the physics of these and other phenomena. An astronomer whose name escapes me at the moment once said, "The the universe is not only queerer than we know, it is queerer than we can know."

We have no idea what we are looking at, much less the fundamental forces underlying it all.

Agreed—but I think if we start asking the correct questions we can really move the needle. Here are just one question we should be able to figure out with careful observation:

—Can planets, stars, galaxies communicate with each other? If so, how?

Rydberg matter in space has been found to generate a red-shift of distant light.

You: OK, so that means that our whole solar system could be like one tiny atom in the fingernail of some other giant being? This is nuts! That means that one tiny atom in my fingernail could be...

Science : ...could be one tiny little universe!

Such a funny movie.

I think I had more military grade fun than these guys, (Niedermier for sure) but Delta house gave it the best college try out of all of em.

Gee… Orthodox Astronomers and Cosmologists are AGAIN surprised by something that Electric/Plasma Cosmologists have known for sometime: that Herbig Haro objects, multiple light years long twisted filamentary objects spin… They have to because they are carrying huge electrical currents across space. —Electric/Plasma Universe PING!


Herbig Haro Object 111’s spiraling structure can be seen in this Hubble Space Telescope Photo

If you want on or off the Electric Universe/Plasma Ping List, Freepmail me.

"Brain neurons."

God's brain? That was my first impression too.

"What’s the rotational speed in RPM?"

33 and 1/3'd

If you zoom in you will find the filaments are composed of all the missing socks from all the washers and dryers from all over the universe.

“and they’re not only rotating but moving along the tendrils as if they’re pipelines.”

They better be Russian pipelines or Biden would shut them down.

I had a galactic filament once.

Did you use it on your 3D Galaxy printer?

Funny you should ask, today is Paul McCartney’s birthday.
Paul is not dead.

That simulated does suggest a neural network. Interesting implications.

That got me wondering if tiny specs within tiny specs of our brain neurons pray to us. But nah, we don't even realize they exist; so those tiny specs pray to the One consisting of the Universe neural net.

That picture looks a LOT like neurons. Interesting.

Sometimes I wish we had a ‘like’ button here.

“Despite being thin cylinders – similar in dimension to pencils – hundreds of millions of light years long, but just a few million light years in diameter, these fantastic tendrils of matter rotate,” added Noam Libeskind,

They can’t be EM if comprised of matter (but matter can generate EM) and if matter subject to principles of relativity?
Just curious

“They can’t be EM if comprised of matter”

It’s not just ordinary matter, it’s ionized plasma, which is inherently electromagnetic.
