@David: Absolutely happy to help. I'm a very big supporter of the ideas in the EU framework, and this community, and I'd like to do everything I can to give a hand. There are really great ideas here - most, barely even fleshed out. But I believe, in earnest, that the ideas growing here about a mechanical, electromagnetic universe are the future of astrophysics and cosmology.
A snippet from the course info, that I find particularly interesting:
The theory of gravity, Einstein’s theory of relativity, was published exactly 100 years ago. This course presents in a simple manner the main ideas behind this theory, before explaining why “gravity is the engine of the Universe.”
This, ultimately, is my issue with Newtonian gravitation and General Relativity: they do not consider the mechanism of the Universe as it actually exists. In Newtonian gravitation, the orbits of the planets around the Sun occur through a completely vacuous solar system, where there is no hypothesized matter or physical connection bridging the planets and the Sun together in their motion. The force of gravity alone, dependent upon nothing but the distance of the two objects and their "mass", results in gravitation - action at a distance, which even Newton himself rejected. However, we understand now that this physical axiom for gravitation is actually false. The largest distribution of matter in the solar system actually exists in the interstellar medium, a plasmatic ocean swirling around the Sun, driven by the Sun's rotation, and shaped into a vortex of electric current. Currents flow through this ocean and directly connect the Sun to the planets. Magnetic bubbles wrap themselves around certain planets as magnetospheres, celestial objects have electrostatic charges, and every celestial object is actually oscillating in space - inside this plasmatic medium. All the while, this is occurring within the natural vacuum chamber of the heliopause. Positive currents in the form of cosmic rays are being driven into the poles of the Sun, which carries an immense positive charge and is discharging in the chamber as an anode.
The entire physical picture imagined by Newton when he created gravitation was wrong. He had absolutely no idea what physical mechanisms existed in the solar system, or how elaborate a machine it actually is. Or the fact that it runs on electricity and magnetism. The closest anyone has actually come to understanding the machine of our solar system are Descartes, who predicted the presence of a physical, plasmatic vortex between the Sun and the planets, Tesla, who understood that the solar system was a vacuum chamber and that the Sun was a discharging anode, and Birkeland, who understood that electric currents are flowing throughout the entire solar system. Of course, Alfven is also deeply embedded in this history too.
Until we start experimenting with vacuum chambers, terrellas, sollelli, anodes, spherical oscillators, homopolar motors, etc., we're not going to have anything close to a genuine understanding of "celestial mechanics," or why the planets actually rotate around the Sun.
