PC/EU explains much of what we see based on known physics—without resorting to metaphysical mumbo-jumbo. When the universe began and other "ultimate" questions are simply never even raised. We just don't know, and ultimate questions are always for tomorrow. (It may be beyond human understanding, but we'll ask anyway.) Some people can't stand "not knowing," and so will lean towards world views that give them even a false sense of finality or closure (e.g. Isolated stars that burn all on their own for billions of years).antosarai wrote:I didn't mean to label the "Universe" as anything.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics is yet another machine analogy—designed to explain steam engines in a very Earthly environment—blown up to "ultimate" proportions. What is the Prime Mover in an Electric Universe? We don't know, but that does not alter the fact that circuits exist over a cosmic scale, and current flows. The universe is already bigger than we can imagine without dulling Occam's razor with "outsides" to infinity, time before time, higher "dimensions," strings and 'branes filled with exotic (never observed) dark matter that bends, warps and twists "space itself."
One of my favorite metaphysical conundrums is antimatter. Theoretical physicists (an oxymoron) tie themselves into knots wondering where all the antimatter went that must have been formed in equal parts with matter during the Big Bang. We've been able to manufacture antimatter in small quantities (How would that be possible? Symmetry! Symmetry!), and now we know that it appears in mere Earthly lightning storms—and much bigger discharges are known just within the Solar system.
Current flows because the PC/EU model is well grounded.
