Well, of course, not EVERYTHING. But, could be more than you think . . .
What I'm on about this evening is something I've been looking into casually for the past 5 or 6 years. It's called "The Electric Universe Theory," (EU) which postulates that the fundamental force shaping our universe is not gravity but electricity. If this theory is accurate, just about everything those of us who have been educated in the west regarding the nature of the celestial cosmos is, at best, inaccurate and, at worst, just dead wrong. It represents a paradigm shift that is roughly equivalent to Copernicus' insistence that the Earth was not the center of the universe.
Compare the changes that human society has undergone in the past 500 years to the 500 years or even 5,000 years that preceded this astounding revelation. Who among us doesn't KNOW that the Earth orbits the sun and that Sun is a gargantuan ball of radiation held together by gravity so tightly that, at its core, it is engaging in atomic fusion. That's where the Sun's energy comes from.
We believe this as surely as people 500 years ago believed that the Sun orbited the earth. Of course almost everyone assumed the earth was flat, that the universe was a sort of celestial bell jar and that EVERYTHING was orbiting us.
So much has happened in the last 500 years it is almost impossible to imagine what the world looked like to people who lived 500 years ago. Try to imagine not knowing that the Earth is round. Try to imagine experiencing yourself in a world that was, indeed, "a stage," surrounded by everything. The vast majority of us didn't know very much about the celestial realms except what came to us through myth, religion or folklore. The "celestial" was, mystifying, mystical, our understanding of human origins and the origins of the universe itself were intertwined with mythology.
Everything that has followed since Copernicus has thrown that world view so far down the historical rabbit hole, we can't even imagine it.
But, if the EU model is accurate, scientists are going to have to re-examine pretty much everything they think they know (and tell us) about the universe yet again.
According to the EU model, for example, our Sun is not an internally energized atomic fusion machine. It is, rather, a node in an electrical current that permeates our galaxy. Now, don't expect me, a total idiot, to be able to explain how that works. I'm not even sure it does. The point I'm making is, IF IT IS ACCURATE, this model will alter the perception of reality held by future generations as radically as the Copernican model did the one before it. This model suggests that matter and energy are not only equivalent, they are identical.
This paradigm shift would radically alter our understanding of who, what and where we are as BEINGS.
