<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Physicist and fusion researcher Eric Lerner presents a sweeping critique of the Big Bang theory and the standard model of cosmology at Demysticon 25. He builds on the foundations of plasma physics and the work of Nobel laureate Hannes Alfv\u00e9n to outline an alternative cosmological framework rooted in known physical laws\u2014gravity, nuclear fusion, and electromagnetic plasma behavior\u2014rather than hypothetical concepts like dark matter, dark energy, or cosmic inflation. He explores how filamentary plasma structures may account for galaxy formation, how fusion research using dense plasma focus devices parallels cosmic processes, and how the cosmic microwave background may not be relic radiation from a singular origin. Merging astrophysics, plasma cosmology, and energy research, this talk reframes the origin and structure of the universe\u2014and calls into question the prevailing narratives at the heart of modern theoretical physics.<\/p>\n<p>PATREON<br \/> \/ demystifysci.<\/p>\n<p>PARADIGM DRIFT<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/demystifysci.com\/paradigm-dri\">https:\/\/demystifysci.com\/paradigm-dri<\/a>\u2026 Go!
