    Plasma Theory
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a challenge to the idea of an infinite and static universe proposed by Electric Universe (EU) theorists. The user questions the implications of plasma's mass on the static universe theory, suggesting that if plasma has mass, it would lead to contraction unless countered by another force like dark matter. The user seeks assistance from a physicist to formulate a rebuttal against the EU theorists' claims. The conversation emphasizes the importance of addressing and debunking unfounded theories to prevent misinformation. The thread concludes with a note that discussions of crackpot theories are not permitted.

I am in a forum where there are two EU crackpot theorists that insist on the universe being infinite and static. Since the universe is 98.6% plasma; I asked them if plasma has mass. I am not a physicist but I know that a static universe cannot be if this plasma has mass as this would cause the universe to contract unless another force (dark matter) is acting in opposition and thus causes the universe to expand.

I need a physicist to help me in my reply to these people! (Sorry I know this is an unorthodox request but we cannot allow such people to convince others of their crackpot theory.

Sorry, we do not discuss crackpottery here. Not even to debunk it.

Thread 'How feasible is home radio astronomy?'

Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
