What if the CMB Isn't Actually Cosmic? - Dr. Patrick Vanraes, DemystifySci #380
Dr. Patrick Vanraes, a plasma physicist at the University of Antwerp, questions the traditional understanding of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), suggesting it may not be as 'cosmic' as we think. He discusses the historical context of the Big Bang theory and critiques the common interpretations of cosmic data. Joining him, Pierre-Marie Robitaille, an expert in thermal radiation, presents alternative explanations and the intriguing possibility that the CMB could originate from terrestrial sources like water and soot. Their conversation challenges mainstream cosmology.

Stellar Cold Fusion & CMB Suspicions - Dr. Patrick Vanraes, DemystiCon '25, DemystifySci #354
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.

Rewriting Plasma Physics - Dr. Patrick Vanraes, DemystifySci #341
In this conversation, Dr. Patrick Vanraes, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Antwerp, challenges the conventional understanding of plasma. He argues that plasma isn’t merely a fourth state of matter but a latent property of matter itself. Vanraes explores its complexities, tying plasma behavior to cosmic phenomena and technology. He also discusses the philosophical implications of defining particles as information bundles, shaking the foundations of traditional physics perspectives.
