Going Cold Turkey

It gets pretty confusing when many of the “Big Brains” are in disagreement about cosmology. Both sides seem to be addicted to their theories. Gravity based Astrophysics and Plasma Physics have been around for about the same time. Neither side will even consider the other alternative. To abandon the current popular gravity paradigm science will have to go "Cold Turkey" to cure its addiction to it. Personally I believe both sides are quite close together but each side will suffer withdrawal symptoms while giving up some the dogma surrounding their theories.  

If Plasma is 99.99% of the universe, how can dark matter comprise at least 70% of the universe? Intuitively I suspect there is no Dark Matter. (I’ve seen Plasma.) One of the proofs of the Big Bang is the murmur from left over microwaves. This could just as easily be static from electrical discharges of zero point energy in plasmas. (I’ve heard this static while watching the Northern Lights.)

Common sense tells me Black Holes are a mathematical absurdity. (Common sense no longer carries much weight in contemporary science.) Plasma and Zero Point Energies incredible electrical power seems to me to be a much better solution than gravity, the weakest of all the four forces, to account for the incredible swirling centers of galaxies and the formation of new stars.

The mathematics of contemporary physics has become a shibboleth, a secret language, which only the mathematicians can understand. How can we disagree when we haven’t the slightest idea what they are talking about? Plasma Physicists, however, say even Hawking, may have a black hole in his head.

The fact is there is no evidence that even super-strings exist. If you’ve spent 30 or 40 years developing greater and greater and more complex mathematical formulas to support your theory it will be pretty hard to give up on them. When the evidence shows your theory may have a hole in it you hastily plug it with some other mathematical construct. 

Bernie Siegel says, "People are addicted to their beliefs. If you try to change some ones belief, they act like an addict." A fanatic might kill you if you try to take the drug of his religion away. This is why science is so resistant to change, and often punishes those who stray from the status quo. They need the drug of their belief, it keeps them from examining alternative scientific beliefs. (Remember the priests who refused to look through Galileo's telescope?)
