I reject your Electric Universe crackpottery because science falsifies it. For example, the Cathode Sun championed by the EU community should fry astronauts with the massive amounts of radiation that it produces:
"
In the 'solar cathode' electric sun model, radiation exposure at the orbit of Earth is 38,000 rads in one hour!"

What a bunch of nonsense. Bridgman is rather ignorant of EU/PC theory and he needs to do a little research:
Revisiting the Solar Cathode Model
Back in the early days of my involvement with the "Electric Universe" phenomenon, I did a very simple analysis of an Electric Sun model based on the description and parameters. One of those models, where the Sun acts as a cathode, powered by electrons accelerated by a hypothesized potential difference between the heliopause and photosphere of billions of volts, were subjected to some basic analysis using fundamental conservation principles. I called this model the "Solar Capacitor" model due to its similarity to spherical capacitors studied in much of the physics literature. EU supporters sometimes call it the solar 'cathode' model and it is based on models originally proposed by Juergens (see References below) and promoted by Don Scott in The Electric Sky. My analyses of this model were summarized in a few blog posts.
First of all, the cathode solar model was first proposed by
Kristian Birkeland around 1908, long before Juergens. Contrary to Bridgman's statements, Birkeland's cathode solar model was an
internally powered solar model and did
not require an external power source as Bridgman erroneously claims. Furthermore Jeurgen's solar model was an *anode* solar model, not a cathode solar model! Sheeesh! 0 for 2. The ignorance of the mainstream is simply astounding.
While Bridgman's claims and complaints
might apply to a 100 percent
externally powered solar model, it doesn't actually apply to any solar model that is at least partially internally powered, particularly and most specifically the
cathode solar model proposed by Kristian Birkeland.
Contrary to Bridgman's erroneous statements, Jeurgen's solar model was an *anode* solar model! Bridgman is simply misrepresenting facts, and misrepresenting the EU/PC models
plural. There are *at least* four unique EU/PC solar models, and his criticisms apply to only one of them, and contrary to his erroneous claims, it does
not apply to any cathode models at all! Bridgman is clearly misrepresenting fact, and his criticisms have *never* applied to Kristian Birkeland's cathode model. Birkeland assumed the sun was *internally* powered, which does
not require a "solar capacitor". Epic fail by Bridgman. Pure misrepresentation of fact, either willfully or just due to pure ignorance of fact.
