The Electric Universe is still a "rogue" theory for the "official" science establishment (i.e. universities, scientific institutions, magazines, NASA... ). For the last 30 years, facts pouring from spacecrafts like Hubble and from telescopes in earth have contradicted all the prediction of the Gravitational Universe, so phisycs guided by mathematicians have created ad-hoc creatures like dark matter, dark energy, black holes and so on, no one ever proved to exist, in a effort to avoid the total breakdown of the gravitation universe..., because they dont want to accept that the universe is not electrical neutral, and that electricity is the driven force of galaxies, stars, planets and everything, not gravitation. So they act against electric universe proponents like they did centuries ago with Galileo !!. But time proved Galileo right, so he prevailed against all the power of the scientific, political an church establishment of his time, because he was right, he has the truth.

The first question is: what powers the sun?
Black holes, nuclear fusion, and gravitation do not explain why the sun is cooler at the surface than in the corona.
The sun is likely a big electromagnetic ball, sunspots and all, and you just have to open your eyes. You can see field lines all over it (see links below)
As Einstein said "The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking "
The "standard model" doesn't explain a lot of things (superconductivity, gravity, etc) and breaks down under occams razor. Its needs to be rethought
...so just used some everyday thinking.

How have recent observations contradicted the Gravitational Universe? Give us some examples. I don't believe they have contridicted anything about the current model but pointed to things we can not or have not observed.
I haven't heard of this "Electric Universe Theory" until today and after reading a bit about it it sounds interesting albiet a bit wacky. The whole idea that the Sun and stars are powered by an external electric current seems wildily far fetched especially since we understand electricity very well and have never observed this. Our gravitational models explain and predict with amazing accuracy what we observe. Saying that planetary features, such as craters, have been caused by mega-lightning or cosmic thunderbolts is just ridiculous. Meteorites have been observed hitting the earth, moon and other planets, they most definately were not cosmic lightning. Rejecting big bang cosmology, including black holes, dark energy and dark matter is fine as it is always a good idea to question the established ideas in the pursuit of knowlege. Many of these ideas may be overruled by new theories at any time. However, there have been many, many great minds behind these theories that have tried to disprove them and have in the end only supported them more. The Gravitational Model does a VERY good job at explaining what we see.
I'm all for new theories. I can't wait to see what new ideas people come up with that will help us explain this amazing universe we live in. But I'd like to see some more concrete evidence of things before we reject current ideas.

Not to put too fine a point on it, the "electric universe" theory as proposed by the questioner is horse____. Existing theory works quite well at explaining phenomena, and what is more important, at predicting new ones.
One responder asks about the sun. It is powered, of course, by fusion of hydrogen into helium, mediated to some degree by carbon. And we don't have all the answers yet to the temperature of the solar corona, but there are plenty of non-thermal processes at loose on the sun (e.g. sunspots) which could do things like throw energetic particles into the corona, vastly increasing its apparent temperature.
As for the allegation that the universe is not electrically neutral, simple computation shows that it would explode violently: like electric charges repel each other a LOT.

I want to tell you one thing the gravitational, magnetic and electric field are co-related. Every planets in universe experience a gravitational force. Universe has concept of these three forces simultaneously because all planets, sun, star are experience these three forces. Recently, I read a news about string theory and now i am hearing electric theory about universe. I am supposed, Only gravitational theory is exist

Thank Gawd you've come along! At long last, the entire scientific establishment will be set upon the path toward Ultimate Truth as only you can reveal it. (Gag...choke...barf...)

This is obviously something that you made up. I'll bet you also believe that the Earth is flat.
