Laboratory experiments, together with advanced simulation capabilities, have
shown that electric forces can efficiently organize spiral galaxies, without
resorting to the wild card of gravity-only cosmology--the Black Hole.

Rotation is a natural function of interacting electric currents in plasma. Currents can pinch matter together
to form rotating stars and galaxies. Computer models of two current filaments interacting in a plasma
have in fact reproduced fine details of spiral galaxies where the gravitational schools must rely on
invisible matter arbitrarily placed wherever it is needed to make their models ‘work’.
The photograph of the spiral galaxy is galaxy M81. It is the one of the first images returned by NASA’s
new Spitzer space telescope, an instrument that can detect extremely faint waves of infra red radiation or
heat through clouds of dust and plasma that have blocked the view of conventional telescopes. The result
is a view of striking clarity.
Beneath this photograph are snapshots of computer simulation by plasma scientist Anthony Peratt
illustrating the ivolution of galactic structures under the influence of electric currents. Through the ‘pinch
effect’, parallel currents converge to produce spiralling structures.
Plasma experiments and computer simulations of plasma discharge are changing the picture of space.
Without Black Holes, gravitational equations cannot account for observed movement and compact
energetic activity, but charged plasma achieves such efforts routinely.
