i resently came across a video on the internet (thanks to a guy who answered another one of my question), the way i understood it was that the sun and every single other object in the universe is reliant on a force which i am assuming is plasma, and that the sun is not a generator of energy but a conductor of electricity and that is where its energy comes from. am i missing something or missunderstood something? if this theory is true then we have an electrical sun rather than an atomic or hydrogen powered one. if this is so, then i guess there is a good chance that god can exist too. please explane this to me.

about the gos theory, i used belive that if the sun can support it self and power it self then the milkyway could too and so could the universe. but if all these are reliant on another force then i guess that makes the other force a god. thats why i came up with the god theory.

when Isaac Newton came up with the theory of gravity and all, we belived that it was gravity that was holding and causing everything in the universe. if it didnt bring things together they wont fuse there fore nothing would happen. now we have discovered a force which is not only electrical but makes up 99.9% of the universe, meaning that there is more of it than anything else as well as gravity being generated by electicity. this in my opinion seem to make more sense, although its sourse is a mystery.

The sun, and every other star, is powered by thermonuclear fusion, in which lighter elements (usually hydrogen) are fused by heat and pressure to create heavier elements, which have a smaller mass per nucleon than the lighter elements do. The excess mass appears as energy. This takes place at or near the center, where the temperature is high enough (around 10,000,000 K) to provide the nuclei with enough thermal energy to overcome their electrostatic repulsion and occasionally fuse. Thus, the sun IS a generator of energy, although not in the electrical sense. The ionized gas in the sun is a poor conductor of electricity, so the heat generated in the core travels by some combination of convection and radiation to the surface, where it is radiated off as heat and light. The sun remains in its visible state because its matter is in equilibrium between the sun's gravity and the pressure of the gas. None of this has anything to do with the possible existence or non-existence of god; it is just basic physics.

The Cosmos is a Greek way of saying "the heavens(shamayin in Genesis 1)The Chinese call it "CHI" without that the Universe could not exist.
You have to be careful when you refer to force. Force is not an entity it is only the product of interaction between structures.So a force does not exist before the interaction occurs.
Energy is a process that occurs as the result of interaction of mass and what they call dark matter which is really a substance of space(The " CHI ").
So when we say something has no energy, we basically are saying the object is not moving. (dead)
So what are the Cosmos? There is presently a whole science of Cosmology which are trying to expalin it to us and they still have a long way to give us a realitic final answer.I would aslo stnd in the same boat as far as giving you the Utimate correct answer. We all estimate and dream solutions everything is an approximation . we cannot kown for certain , and Heisenberg's principle applies here too.

Confusing, isn't it? Cosmos refers to everything in the universe. The universe itself consists of absolutely nothing. But it contains everything known and some unknowns, too, I'm sure. The sun generates massive amounts of energy in the form of heat and light, and maybe some static electricity, but is not electrical in nature. NO, galaxies are not held together by plasma or much of anything else. The universe does not rely on anything at all; it just is. Nothing restricts, holds, or contains the universe. Nor was it created. God exists is people's minds and is limited to earth.

The word "cosmos" usually refers to everything in the universe.
I saw the video if you're referring to, and it is interesting and entertaining. But I'm not so sure that I agree with many of the assumptions that they make. It is an interesting theory, however. Some of their assumptions require great leaps of logic (and already known and proven theories) that borders on the same leaps of faith required by theology. This theory may be true for it may be false - I suppose that is why physicists are still looking for the Grand Unified Field Theory which would be the answer to "everything". There are some plausible arguments that are constructed in this video. One issue for Quantum physics, is the differentiation between electromagnetism and gravity.

Cosmos, taken from the greek kosmos which means "everything". That force is you found out about has long been sought by modern physists. It is the answer to the Grand Unification Theory. Just remember that energy is neither created nor destroyed. It can be transformed into another state. Hope this helps. :)

"Kosmos" in Greek means "world," and dates to the time in which many people still believed that the universe was a three-story layer cake with the underworld ("hades") on the bottom, the world in which we live ("kosmos") in the middle, and the heavens ("uranos") above.
In modern times, "cosmos" has come to be synonymous with "universe."
The rest of your question is just a jumble of words, suggesting that you are being led into confusion by weird people with bizarre imaginings about the reality in which they live.
To eliminate the confusion you are experiencing, study physics and astronomy directly from people that know something about it. Take a course in basic physics to touch on all aspects of the science of physical reality.
And please leave God in church. God cannot be measured or tested in any scientific sense, and disdains to be associated with any questions about the nature of celestial objects.
Try an internet search on "cosmology."

Cosmos and universe can be employed synonymously to include all that exists.
