Dr. Patrick Vanraes, a plasma scientist from the University of Antwerp, pushes the boundaries of modern cosmology. He proposes a revolutionary view of the Sun as a layered liquid structure capable of cold fusion. Delving into fusion mechanisms, he discusses how lattice imperfections might enhance cold fusion at lower temperatures. Patrick also challenges the accepted nature of the Cosmic Microwave Background, suggesting it might be a local artifact rather than a remnant of the Big Bang, urging a reevaluation of our cosmic understanding.

Liquid Metallic Hydrogen Sun Model
Pierre Marie Robitaille's liquid metallic hydrogen model views the Sun as a layered, condensed matter structure rather than a gaseous ball.
This model features much milder temperature and density values than the standard gaseous Sun model, challenging traditional fusion assumptions.

Fusion Mechanisms in Liquid Sun
Fusion in the liquid Sun isn't driven by extreme heat but by lattice confinement and vibrations aided by conduction electron shielding.
These mechanisms lower the Coulomb barrier to enable fusion in condensed states at lower temperatures.

Cold Fusion Enhanced by Lattice Defects
Cold fusion at low temperatures can be explained by combining atomic physics, nuclear physics, and quantum dynamics.
Lattice imperfections increase electron screening, making fusion easier near defects rather than within perfect lattice planes.

At "Beyond the Big Bang" 2025, Dr. Patrick Vanraes, a plasma scientist at the University of Antwerp, delivers two quiet revolts against the reigning cosmological order. In the first talk, he develops Dr. Pierre Marie Robitaille's vision of the Sun not as a chaotic gas ball, but as a layered, liquid structure—dense enough to host fusion through lattice confinement, where matter itself conspires in silence. Patrick takes Dr. Robitaille's model one step further, examining the possibility that diverse types of fusion may be occurring throughout different regions of the liquid plasma. In the second talk, Patrick takes aim at the cosmic origin of the microwave background, suggesting that what's been repeatedly called the echo of creation may instead be a local artifact—unmeasured where it matters most. Patrick doesn't reject mainstream physics—he asks physicists to look again, more carefully, and perhaps more honestly. The Q&A shows this is not the simple request it seems.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showMUSICCheck out our band's new album:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-hereVinyl pre-orders available now: https://buy.stripe.com/14A5kC3Od5d21Ms7zPdEs0900:00 Go!
