This article has the sound of my old Chemistry lab, with 'clouds of gas', 'stars burn their fuel' and 'collapse and violently explode'. What rot! We are looking at plasma, (mostly ionised hydrogen) in all its forms:dark, glow and arc mode.
"Stellar evolution theory and the age of stars is an elaborate fiction.
The appearance of a star is determined largely by its electrical
environment and can change suddenly." Hence a 'nova' is simply a brief electrical overload.
"Plasma physicists and electrical
engineers are best able to recognize plasma discharge phenomena. Stellar
physics is in the wrong hands."
