Editing Electric Universe Hypothesis (section)

==Contradictory evidence==

Many of the claims made by EU proponents are unsubstantiated by any scientific observations.  

Decades of observations and even a direct landing by the Rosetta spacecraft have shown beyond any doubt that comets are not "electric."  Geochemical studies of cometary samples returned by the Stardust Mission showed that samples of the comet Wild are consistent with the comet being composed primarily of primitive nebular condensates. 

[[Star]]s are generally accepted to produce energy through atomic fusion.  EU proponents have postulated that stars are powered by energy sources at the center of each galaxy, but no one has ever observed any evidence of an external source of stellar energy.  

Humans have now photographically documented the formation of impact craters on other bodies, proving that they are formed by the impacts of asteroidal bodies and not by "electrical discharge." As of the early 2000s, there is actual video footage of meteorite impacts.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpmXyJrs7iU video footage]</ref>

Most EU proponents claim some kind of relation to the "plasma cosmology" of the [[Nobel Prize]] laureate Hannes Alfvén (see also [[Nobel disease]]). This model predicted that radio emissions would be produced in certain conditions, and they were not.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20150416003346/http://www.theplasmaverse.com/pdfs/the-electic-sky-book-by-donaldescott-review-discussion-against.pdf The Electric Sky, Short-Circuited (archived 2015-04-16)], page 2:"This loss of interest was very possibly the result of the all-sky microwave maps of COBE and later WMAP, which exhibited no evidence of radio emission from these galaxy-forming currents."</ref>

A oft-recurring idea in EU dogma is the insistence that all science should be done in a laboratory — this is done in an attempt to discredit most historic studies and observations of gravitational theory.
