Not having been part of the Old List, last summer I too posted a
review of Eric Lerner's book which Hal mentions. Unlike Hal's post,
mine is in the archives at
http://www.lucifer.com/exi-lists/extropians.96/0195.html
if anyone is interested. (Most of my post was a summary of Lerner's
comments on the philosophy of science, though, rather than the details
of plasma cosmology.)
Hal added:
<Most theories that totally contradict the conventional wisdom turn
out to be wrong, so this one probably is, too. But Robin's comment
about the possibility of very large scale, strong magnetic fields
reminded me of this earlier theory. There are a lot of things which
cosmologistsy can't explain, so the door is not yet closed on
alternatives.>
Yes, I find these Anisotropic Universe comments interesting in light
of the recent thread where it was suggested that the only ones still
questioning the Big Bang theory were creationists.
