Welcome to PlasmaResources.com

 
PlasmaResources.com is your one-stop-NON-shop for all the links you'll ever need for exploring plasma cosmology (PC), our electric universe (EU), and almost anything else even remotely related to the electrical nature of space, climatology and our Earth.
 

So What Is EU/PC?

For too many years now cosmologists and astrophysicists have developed their models around a gravitycentric theory, as if electricity has no role in space. Nothing could be further from the truth. The electric universe/plasma cosmology theories do not seek to dismiss gravity, but to enhance our understanding of the universe by acknowledging the role that the far superior force of electricity plays not only here on Earth (as if by some unique miracle), but also throughout the cosmos. Nature doesn't do things the hard way.

Plasma cosmology is nothing new. Pioneers such as Kristian Birkeland, Irving Langmuir, Hannes Alfvén, Ralph Juergens, Halton Arp, Anthony Peratt and others have been investigating the electric alternative to gravitycentric models for a century now, and utilizing such tools as observation, laboratory replication and computer simulation to develop their theories.

Meanwhile mainstream cosmologists have not only ignored but also denied the role of electricity in space, despite recent plasma laboratory experimentation which tends to support the electical theorists, and offered us an ever-increasing list of ad hoc patches for their theories which are continually confounded by even the most recent observations made since the 'space age' began. The disastrous results have been the inception of the big bang, black holes, dark matter, dark energy and a host of other hypothetical entities which rightly belong in the field of science fiction, rather than science fact.
 

Why Should I Care?

Why should you care? Because, it's your money, Ralph! Billions are spent chasing these invisible, fictional entities around the universe and inventing extra dimensions and fanciful notions which can never be tested, whilst the little which gets spent on furthering our understanding of plasma science does nothing but confirm the position of the electrical theorists.

But that's just my take on it, and to take my word for it would be as foolish as taking the word of the mainstream scientists that nothing really did go BANG (?!?!) to create the universe we observe today. Explore it for yourself. Have an open mind. I am sure that if you follow the evidence, you'll come away with a completely different concept of the universe than the one you grew up with. And it can't hurt to at least have a look at it, can it?
 
It is my hope that you enter this site into the 'favourites' section of your browser and use it as a gateway for all of your EU/PC related studies.

About This Site


 
PlasmaResources.com is the culmination of spending many days, hundreds if not thousands of hours, searching for information relating to electric universe and plasma cosmology themes.

Whilst there are many great resources (and some not so great) on the web to research almost anything, sorting the wheat from the chaff is not easy, especially for the newcomer to the electronic wizzardry required to navigate to and save the good stuff.

With this in mind I decided to put together a bunch of EU/PC relevant links and display them all in a place free of bells and whistles, free of advertising, free of clutter, in fact totally free of anything but resource links... and maybe the gratuitous use of some awesome imagery just for fun.

I have also included a wide variety of mainstream and alternative sources of information for balance, found mostly on the 'More Resources' and 'Odds and Ends' pages.
 
It is my intention that this site be used by everyone from the serious scientist to the layperson. It is laid out in a simple and straightforward manner both to aid navigation and to avoid distractions. This site also aims to be 'disability-friendly'.
 

Layout

Each page contains navigation on the left, and quick-links on the right. The centre includes the links for that page but also has a brief summary of what each site is about. This way those who are new to the topics or the sites can find out a little more about what they want to investigate, whilst those familiar with the sites can click straight to them without having to scroll down a page full of comments.

The bolded sections of the center page links are used for the quick links. Comments directly from the site concerned are in "quoted italic" font, and excerpted from the page concerned or an "About" or similar page somewhere on site.
 

Images

I have endeavoured to minimise page loading times by including small display images. A mid-sized option (Dial-up/Forum size) is supplied in the hope of allowing dial-up users to enjoy great pics without having to wait a week, and also to facilitate smarter bandwidth usage on forums, by encouraging those who wish to copy images for posting on forums to keep to a maximum image size of 400 pixels in either dimension. The large (Enlarge) pics are mostly sized to fit on screen without waiting too long, and the HiRes option, only available on some of the images, offers still larger JPEGs or TIFF files, for those with generous internet plans.
 

User Participation

Whilst I have made every endeavour to include materials mostly relevant to EU/PC themes, it is often quite difficult to draw the line, and I welcome criticism and suggestions from serious users for improving the site in any way. I am happy to consider suggestions for further links, and there are probably some important ones I have not personally come across yet. I do not however intend it to become a free-for-all for any and all alternative themes out there, and will only include sites with some relevance to the topic, or which I consider interesting from an EU/PC study perspective.

This is a dynamic site with ongoing changes and expansion. Your participation is encouraged. If you have a site you would like to have included on this site, e-mail me with the details. Likewise I encourage those who's sites I have linked to, to add a link to this site as a comprehensive directory of further study resources.

Should you come across any links which don't work, please use the 'Report Broken Links' tag from the page concerned.

Credit Where It's Due


 
My thanks and praises go to a few companies, without whose great deals and software this site, free from paid advertisements and unnecessary distractions, would not be possible. These are purely unsolicited comments, and reflect my personal dealings and experience with these companies, and are not to be seen as explicit endorsement for anyone else's needs, but simply an acknowledgement of those I have had great service and products from.
 

 
HostMonster.com Web Hosting

"HostMonster has been providing hosting solutions to thousands of business and personal web sites since 1996. Our internet hosting package helps businesses and individuals get high-powered service at a fraction of the cost."
HostMonster.com

When I first set up this site, I used a host which whilst cheap, once things began to get busy for me, could not offer the service I required to keep the site running smoothly.

I recently moved the site to HostMonster, and I know already that their service is great, as I moved the Thunderbolts site to the HostMonster servers some months ago, after running into difficulties with their old site hosts too.

Since dealing with HostMonster for many months now, I have found their service to be outstanding. Their "help center" is not outsourced like many, and you can even contact them by phone 24/7 to get help when you're at your wits end. And considering their great service, their deals are very competitively priced.

W3 Schools Online Web Tutorials

Even an internet novice (like myself, two months before publishing this site I could not even spell HTML...) can use W3 Schools' free comprehensive online tutorial collection to teach themselves HTML and all that goes with it. As part of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), who design and set the standards for internet information sharing, you know you're learning the correct way to use the net efficiently, and to get the best out of your website building experience.

PayPal - Send Money, Money Transfer

PayPal has enabled me to make online purchases in a safe and secure manner, and their customer service is excellent, taking care of queries promptly so as to alleviate any worries with payments. Instant acknowledgement of payments processed means comfort in the knowledge that orders for goods and services will be actioned without undue delay.

OpenOffice.org Free Office Suite

I use OpenOffice freeware for all of my often complicated word processing needs (though I write my HTML code in Notepad++). OpenOffice Writer has enabled me to make a large private collection of newsworthy events of interest to me, and I also keep track of pic credits and details using their program. With it I can open and create documents in all the leading formats, and create PDF files to share information easily via e-mail with those who may not have the expensive programs, as you can download Adobe Reader free if you don't have it already.

GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program

I'd be lost without Gimp 2.4, the free image manipulation program. I have used Gimp to handle all of the pics on this site, and it supports all of the popular formats. Gimp is a great tool for all of my image processing needs.

Notepad++

As my web based activities have increased, so my need for a better program for writing my mark-up grew. As I'm highly allergic to anything requiring instructions, or that requires more than 10 minutes to get the hang of, or which costs anything at all, I went in search of an open source text editor. Enter Notepad++ the easiest program I've ever used, by far! (Sorry Mac users, this one's only for Windozers...)

Notepad++ is just so easy to use. It's got heaps of 'Plug-ins' to give it extra functionality, but I just use it bare bones. The handy thing is it does the color code thing to make it easier to see what's what, yet you can limit all the other bells and whistles so there's not too much happening at once. One thing I don't particularly like is its FTP upload interface, hence the next entry on this page...

FileZilla Client

When I realized I needed an FTP program for uploading to various sites, I quickly found FileZilla Client, another great open source program which does exactly what you want it to. It was so easy to work out, I was uploading 5 minutes after installing it. It really is that easy. Now that I'm used to it, I can upload files to the web in under a minute, and there's nothing confusing about the interface. I'd say it's a very 'comfortable' program to use. So if you need free FTP, and you don't like the complicated and confusing proprietary programs, grab this one and give it a whirl.
