Sir William Huggins (1824-1910), to address the Royal Society of London with his electrical model of the sun.
Excuse me for learning from professors who have spent their whole life studying this material.
I can say same things all professors don't agree lol
It looks like this was an attempt to explain gravity before Einstein did. General relativity turned out to be surprisingly accurate though.

Tough I agree with most of your point, you forgot that it is all theory.
Maybe something we ''know'' today will be proved wrong in 50, 100 or 200 years and they will look back at us and say: ''How could they have believed that? What a bunch of morons.''
Just like we do when we look down on history.
Just saying.
My point is that theories are theories because they have been tested and proven to work. Mind you, there are always short comings of a theory, which a later theory does eventually close.
People come up with different shit every day, and they are generally not based in anything formal. Not saying that this was crazy for coming up with it, but the whole electric sun theory isnt exactly accepted by the scientific community
