conjecture

You're confused about what theories are, and how they are formed. A thorough understanding of a phenomena isn't required for a theory.

  • Evolution wasn't understood
  • Gravity isn't understood

The requirement for any theory is that it is testable.

If you start out by calling it a theory, scientists know you are not one

It is a theory. Your argument was conjecture.

Edit: It's also similar to plasma cosmology but holds that the plasma electric phenomena also works in between individual stars, solar systems, galaxies, etc.
