Mel Acheson: Playing w/Power Thinking | Thunderbolts ThunderboltsProject Fourth episode in a seven-arc series on the art of critical thinking. One distinguishing difference between gravity-and-gas of the Standard Model of Cosmology vs the electricity-and-plasma thinking of the EU Model, is the matter of power. In physics, power is the rate of change of energy. With mechanisms that provide greater power, larger events can happen faster. If conditions in a system suddenly change, such as a short circuit, much more energy appears in an unexpectedly quick amount of time. For example, an electrical arc when a high-voltage switch shorts out—or at the stellar scale—a flare or nova. When old ideas can’t explain new observations, science critic Mel Acheson explains how to pick up the stick of knowledge by another end.
