For me, the theories of Einstein are wrong because they don't allow faster-than-light communication.
It seems to me that all the latest theories that make the universe really complicated are just a bunch of BS (dark matter, dark energy, etc).

I don't understand what your beef is.
Do you have some kind of stake in this game?
Are you paid to support Einstein's bogus theories in some way?
But since you want to attack the person and not his arguments
Spacetime does not bend.
It does not break.
It does not do anything other than exist as place that matter and light occupy.
Matter is composed of wave functions - only waves. Matter does not bend space. Any theory that says as much must explain why this is so.
No proposal has ever been given to explain why matter should curve space.
Electromagnetic forces better explain observations than gravity.

I have watched the video "Thunderbolts of the Gods" and its quite interesting. I am very much a layman on the subject, but what I was wondering is where the electric current comes from. The sun is supposed to be "fueled" by electric current. Plasmas conduct so could be a carrier for this current, like lightning. But where are these plasmas? I would expect the sun to look like a ball completely surrounded by lightning, which reach at least as far as nearby stars. Or are we talking about a new kind of electric current that is not detectable and is carried by an invisible medium?

There not there. We've looked and found nothing. I posted about that a page or two back. There is no current and the sun has no net ch
arge. . . seems like a problem for those plasmologists huh!?

Observation: moons are smaller than planets
Conclusion: less massive bodies like to orbit more massive bodies

Celestial bodies don't have likings or dislikings. In fact, two bodies rotate not around either one or another, but around the common center of mass.
Something that all that "electric" BS cannot account for, by the way.
In this day and age there is no longer any doubt that electrical effects in plasmas play an important role in the phenomena we observe on the Sun. The major properties of the "Electric Sun (ES) model" are as follows:
Most of the space within our galaxy is occupied by plasma (rarefied ionized gas) containing electrons (negative charges) and ionized atoms (positive charges). Every charged particle in the plasma has an electric potential energy (voltage) just as every pebble on a mountain has a mechanical potential energy with respect to sea level. The Sun is surrounded by a plasma cell that stretches far out - many times the radius of Pluto. These are facts not hypotheses.
The Sun is at a more positive electrical potential (voltage) than is the space plasma surrounding it - probably in the order of 10 billion volts.
Positive ions leave the Sun and electrons enter the Sun. Both of these flows add to form a net positive current leaving the Sun. This constitutes a plasma discharge analogous in every way (except size) to those that have been observed in electrical plasma laboratories for decades. Because of the Sun's positive charge (voltage), it acts as the anode in a plasma discharge. As such, it exhibits many of the phenomena observed in earthbound plasma experiments, such as anode tufting. The granules observed on the surface of the photosphere are anode tufts (plasma in the arc mode).
The Sun may be powered, not from within itself, but from outside, by the electric (Birkeland) currents that flow in our arm of our galaxy as they do in all galaxies. This possibility that the Sun may be exernally powered by its galactic environment is the most speculative idea in the ES hypothesis and is always attacked by critics while they ignore all the other explanatory properties of the ES model. In the Plasma Universe model, these cosmic sized, low-density currents create the galaxies and the stars within those galaxies by the electromagnetic z-pinch effect. It is only a small extrapolation to ask whether these currents remain to power those stars. Galactic currents are of low current density, but, because the sizes of the stars are large, the total current (Amperage) is high. The Sun's radiated power at any instant is due to the energy imparted by that amperage. As the Sun moves around the galactic center it may come into regions of higher or lower current density and so its output may vary both periodically and randomly.
5. Juergens’ model implies that the outer surface of the heliosphere is the collector of the necessary current stream from the nearby region of our galaxy. Inside the heliopause (within the "solar wind" plasma) the movement of electrons would consist of a "drift current" moving inward toward the Sun superimposed on a vastly stronger "Brownian (random) motion" and therefore be difficult to measure. For a summary of Juergens’ computation see Appendix C of The Electric Sky.
