10. LIFE ITSELF 

It seems that when a dwarf star or gas giant planet "gives birth" to a
rocky satellite, parent and child usually remain closely bound. Our
solar system, with its widely spaced orbits and chaotic features,
appears to be the result of a recent cosmic "traffic accident". This
seemingly wild conjecture is supported by the global stories of
prehistoric planetary encounters. So to use our situation as a measure
of a normal planetary system will give wildly misleading ideas of how
life begins and estimates of the likelihood of life elsewhere in the
universe. The most benign situation for life in an Electric Universe
is inside the electrical cocoon of a brown dwarf star. Radiant energy
is then evenly distributed over the entire surface of any planet
orbiting within the chromosphere of such a star, regardless of axial
rotation, tilt, or orbital eccentricity.

The exceedingly thin atmosphere of such stars has the essential water
and carbon compounds to mist down onto planetary surfaces. The reddish
light is ideal for photosynthesis. Such a model provides one reason
why the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) project is
unlikely to succeed. Any advanced civilization on such a planet will
be unaware that the universe exists outside its own stellar
environment, and radio communication through the glow discharge of the
star is impossible!

Our education systems are not suited to the broad interdisciplinary
knowledge required in an Electric Universe.
