":*In response to your request below (15 May), I hadn't replied here (a) Because you seemed to direct specifically at Soupdragon42, (b) I wanted to concentrate on Scott's book, which I believe is a different kind of source to the two Web sites (c) There's only so many hours in the day!
I won't comment further on the book, as I think my comments below are sufficient.
Regarding the Web sites, I would note that there seems to be very few Web sites on Plasma Cosmology / Plasma Universe (unlike sites on Big Bang cosmology), and I think that is worth taking into account.
plasmacosmology.net
... appears to be generally OK to me. I see obvious areas of contention, with section on the Electric Universe, Ancient Testimony, and Speculations. But these pages are separate and obvious, and do not seem to ""pass off"" the more speculative material as if it were pure Plasma Cosmology.
... the site certainly isn't peer reviewed, and it is unlikely to have been produced by an ""authority""... the Contact page says ""Independent Researcher""
... The site more closely resembles a ""blog"" since it appears to be produced by one person, but that is not grounds for automatic dismissal. We already include a page from the Web site of Ned Wright,, and while he is obviously an authority on Big Bang cosmology, I would argue that he is not an authority on Plasma Cosmology. Nevertheless, I am sure he points out some errors in Eric Lerner's work, and I am sure that Lerner has pointed out misunderstandings in Wright's. Either way, there seems to be value in Wright and Lerner's pages (irrespective of whether we agree with their points of view). Likewsise, I think there is value in plasmacosmology.net, even though there may be disagreements with parts of it.
thunderbolts.info
I must declare a potential conflict of interest with the site, as I am shown as a contributor,, so I will refrain from commenting more, unless you specifically ask me to do so, now knowing the connection.
For similar reasons, I have not added my own Web site, plasma-universe.com, as a possible resource, even though I believe it offers a unique resource.
