One force accompanying and contributing to Collapse is the paradigm clash between traditional Big Bang Theory (not fact) and Electric Universe Theory. The former is a facet of the slowly imploding materialist worldview. The latter is the emergent worldview in which electricity and plasma dynamics can explain pretty much everything much simpler and without inventing exotic explanations that are more fantastical than real.
Yeah, what a bummer if there really are no black holes.
EU Theory’s biggest proponent is the Thunderbolts Project. Here is their most recent presentation focusing on the impacts of electricity / currents and geology.
