I've just noticed the site http://www.thunderbolts.info (which others here on the forum have been referencing for sometime.) It explores the cosmology of the Electric Universe, considering electricity and magnetism, not gravity, to be the dominant forces explaining our Universe on a cosmological scale.
Consider for example this article (http://www.thunderbolts.info/wp/2011/09/02/essential-guide-to-eu-introduction/) there:
The New Picture of Space
Now more than ever, the exploration of our starry Universe excites the imagination. Never before has space presented so many pathways for research and discovery.
New observational tools enable us to “see” formerly-invisible portions of the electromagnetic spectrum, and the view is spectacular. Telescope images in X-ray, radio, infrared and ultraviolet light reveal exotic structure and intensely energetic events that continually redefine the quest as a whole.
Spectrographic interpretation has grown hand-in-hand with faster, large-memory computers and programs, in sophistication and in broad scientific data processing, imaging and modeling capability.
Standing out amidst an avalanche of new images is the greatest surprise of the space age: evidence for pervasive electric currents and magnetic fields across the universe, all connecting and animating what once appeared as isolated islands in space. The intricate details revealed are not random, but exhibit the unique behavior of charged particles in plasma under the influence of electric currents.
The telltale result is a complex of magnetic fields and associated electromagnetic radiation. We see the effects on and above the surface of the Sun, in the solar wind, in plasma structures around planets and moons, in the exquisite structure of nebulas, in the high-energy jets of galaxies, and across the unfathomable distances between galaxies.
