Wookie? or Whacky? A New Theory THE ELECTRIC UNIVERSE + A Conference in June @ Riverview Sheraton

It's something called The Thunderbolts Project.
Never heard of it?
Neither did yours truly until just now after fixing a network connection glitch to track down that Anonymous YouTube video posted here earlier for public information purposes after not seeing any links to the original upload with second-hand reporting by local news.
Anyhow - and moving forward as they say - here's an introduction word-for-word from the homesite https://www.thunderbolts.info/wp/2015/12/30/eu2016-home-page/ 
Are you all ready for an interdisciplinary adventure or not??
. . . only if you are not a certainty-junky
Simplicity has always been a trademark of progress in the sciences. A new theory will be described as “elegant” when it can explain a broader range of data while reducing complications, exceptions, and contradictions.
Of course, the word is too easily used and abused today. The Big Bang theory could only be made elegant by answering contradictions already cited by well-qualified critics. Oversimplification is not elegant. Failure to see contradictory evidence is not elegant either.
The popular mathematical contrivance called a Black Hole is not elegant either, since it neither addresses nor even acknowledges the electrified plasma environment of galaxy formation. And the imagined thermonuclear fusion at the core of the Sun is assuredly not elegant, since it leaves the most compelling features of the Sun unexplained.
A strategic use of language will often distort the distinction between real progress and imaginary progress in science. But for anyone exploring the Electric Universe paradigm, the principle of theoretical “elegance” is well worthy of consideration. It is an acid test.
That is why we’ve selected “Elegant Simplicity” as the theme of our upcoming EU2016 conference.
Join us in an interdisciplinary adventure, June 17-19 in Phoenix, Arizona. Discover the universal role of the electric force, from microcosm to macrocosm. And find your own connections within a movement that is shaping the future of science.

A team of astronomers using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey observed quasars behaving in manner that completely upends conventional theory. Using images from the Pan-STARRS survey, the scientists identified 1000 objects that appeared to vary in brightness over a period of just 10 years. Among these objects were a total of five galaxies that the team witnessed shape-shifting into quasars in a seemingly impossibly short period of time. The team also recorded a total of a dozen quasars “shutting down” in a period of hundreds of days, rather than the hundreds of thousands of years required by standard theory.

Given this situation, Dr. Tom Wilson explores some of the psychological reasons why certain beliefs endure even in the face of falsifying evidence.
