'''''The Electric Universe''''' is a 2007 book by [[Wallace Thornhill]] and [[David Talbott]], published by Mikamar Publishing. It is a popular, illustrated introduction to the '''[[Electric Universe]]''' model of cosmology, which holds that electric currents and plasma — rather than gravity alone — are the dominant organizing force in the cosmos.

	This book not only complements The Electric Sky book, but actually overlaps very little, while covering cosmic quandaries and plasma and electricity in space. The chapter on the electrical properties of comets is such great material, thoroughly convincing.		==Overview==

	~~<b>Reviews~~:~~</b>~~		In this monograph, Thornhill and Talbott suggest that popular astronomy gives a distorted view of the universe. The modern vision evokes a sense of lonely bodies in space — isolated galaxies, self-immolating stars drifting like dust motes in the blackness, and the clockwork solitude of planets. In challenging this idea, the authors emphasize connectivity. The electric force, they contend, influences matter at all levels, from subatomic particles to galactic clusters, leaving little room for the disconnected fragments of modern theory. Primary subjects include: an introduction to the plasma universe; electrical challenges to Big Bang cosmology; the discovery of the "Electric Sun"; and the electrical nature of comets. In language designed for scientists and non-scientists alike, the authors argue that even the greatest surprises of the space age are predictable patterns in an electric universe.

	~~A magnificent description of electricity in space. Authors~~ Thornhill and Talbott ~~offer a sweeping critique~~ of ~~today~~'~~s popular cosmology. They show that galaxies, stars~~ (~~including our Sun~~), ~~and comets can be best understood through~~ the ~~well~~-~~tested behavior~~ of ~~electricity the one force about which astronomers seem to know almost nothing. Having now devoted many years to investigating this question~~, ~~I am in full agreement~~. ~~-- <em>Donald E. Scott, professor of electrical engineering (retired)</em>~~		The book complements — but overlaps little with — Donald Scott's ''The Electric Sky'', and is a companion to Thornhill and Talbott's ''Thunderbolts of the Gods'' (2007). Both authors are associated with '''The Thunderbolts Project''', the main organization promoting the Electric Universe idea. The model draws on the plasma-cosmology tradition of Hannes Alfvén, Kristian Birkeland, and Anthony Peratt; it is not accepted by mainstream astrophysics.

	~~On a plane back to London I read The Electric Universe from cover to cover (~~the light above my seat was the only one that remained on throughout the night). What a masterpiece. Each single sentence is absolutely spot-on and well formulated. This is just such a powerful textbook the potential and logic of the electric universe theory leaps off every page. The omission of mythological and other ancient data from the argument will undoubtedly help to forestall accusations of using 'tales and stories' to bolster a scientific theory. The book also conveys a strong impression that this theory has reached full maturation; it's not the incoherent ranting of someone exploding with a lot of new ideas, but obviously the fruit of many years of careful thinking and making associations. The soberness of tone and the lavish illustrations strike the right chord and I find it hard to imagine a reader who would not find the argument compelling. I have nothing to contend with concerning the main argument. -- <em>Rens van der Sluijs</em>		==About the authors==

	The last 150 years have seen immense progress in the understanding of electrical phenomena. Nevertheless, the conventional cosmology taught today remains essentially a theory of gravity. "The Electric Universe" presents an alternative theory that recognizes electrical forces as the dominant influence in shaping the universe~~, and a major factor in determining much of our cultural and historical experience~~. Based on well-understood principles that can be observed and demonstrated in any plasma laboratory, the electrical model also offers ready explanations for processes that continue to puzzle astronomers today. Compelling, highly readable, and superbly illustrated~~, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to what will surely be the beginnings of a scientific revolution in the years ahead~~. ~~-- <em>~~James Hogan, science/SF author~~</em>~~		'''Wallace ("Wal") Thornhill''' (2 May 1942 – 7 February 2023) was an Australian physicist and writer who studied physics and electronics at the University of Melbourne. Inspired as a young man by Immanuel Velikovsky's ''Worlds in Collision'', he pursued an independent path outside academia and became the leading theorist of Electric Universe cosmology and chief science advisor to The Thunderbolts Project. He died in Canberra in 2023.

			'''David Talbott''' is an American comparative mythologist and the founder of The Thunderbolts Project. He is known for the "Saturn theory" of ancient planetary catastrophism (developed in ''The Saturn Myth'') and was the founding editor of the journals ''Pensée'', ''Kronos'', and ''Aeon''. He and Thornhill met at Velikovskian conferences and began their collaboration in the mid-1990s.

Karry Mullis (Nobel laureated in 1993) wrote: " I am absolutely fascinated. It is high time that someone with engineering skills looked at astronomy. You have clearly found something exciting.  I was never comfortable with astrophysics, but for some dumb reason did not understand that it was the electrical aspect of matter that was missing.  I have been away from physics, in another field for a number of years, but I know new intuitions in any scientific realm when I see them, and I see them in your work. Relax in the notion that someone a continent away is taking great pleasure in your work."
