Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    cold dark matter simulations...strings of clusters galxies are formed in what appears to be a field of energy that behaves like plasma. There are new theories emerging that that everything in the universe is electricity. Oddly enough plasma is comprised of a double helix structure, same as our dna.

    Approx. 17.2 billion light-years and growing of observable universe.

    New figures might already be available.

    Give this a watch sometime. Particularly at 12 mins for a few mins.

    A magnetic field cannot exist without electricity.

    Everything is electricity...everywhere...within us...all around us...all encompassing and forever.

    Isn't electricity just free electrons? Free electrons are more commonly known as static electricity, but I'm referring to electrons outside of the confines of the atom. Wether they are conduced or not. There are still protons, neutrons and such that are not electric.

    I am taking an astronomy course for enthusiasts (amateur??) and last class the teacher addressed this matter and I almost got depressed... it's soooo big that it's size becomes unimportant!!
    the electricity theory is very interesting tho!!
