The Electric Universe Theory is real.

Dark Matter and Dark Energy are dead.

I should add: The electric universe theory has many variations.
It goes from: electric forces have influence in the formation of stars and the galaxies. Also called plasma cosmology (with also some variations).

But some people also stretch the idea a lot further, and think that everything is electric, even gravity and nuclear forces. Tesla for example thought that gravity was like magnetism.

The "debunking" is often on the full-electric theories, but there are a lot of observations that confirm electromagnetic fields on large scales in galaxies.

Good point.

I subscribe to the scientifically supported version, similar to what's described in this informentary.

I don't have a strong opinion on what the root source of gravity is, because I haven't even heard of a plausibly testable theory of gravity.

I've been looking forward to this series all week.
