The conventional explanation stubbornly twists obsolete concepts into convolutions of pseudoscientific rationalizations. Before astronomers discovered that the universe was composed of plasma and electromagnetism, they explained their few optical observations with concepts of mass and gas. Rather than learn about the properties of plasma, they turned to mathematical distortions and illogical perversions of mass and gas to explain the new observations of plasma.

They assume that gas at a temperature of millions of degrees should behave as if it weren’t ionized (plasma). Mass should compress to infinite density to provide a mechanical source for the high energies. (The facts that black holes have no empirical basis and that their mathematical basis allows for at most one in a massless universe are ignored.) Magnetic fields should freeze and wind into the braided filaments, despite both empirical and theoretical findings that plasma is not a perfect conductor and thus can’t “freeze-in” magnetic fields. (Birkeland currents are “radio noisy” and must have an electrical input to make up the radiative losses.) Electricity should not exist, or if it does it shouldn’t do anything.

Modern consensus astronomers should adopt concepts that enable them to “see” (understand) as lucidly as modern instruments enable them to look.
