Pseudoscience?
I was led to believe by some explanations of the electric universe theory that it may be a ToE that actually works, even though it's almost depressingly simple. It seems even way more fringe or crackpot than quantum gravity can seem but I get the impression that it actually may have some robustness to it in terms of research. Please don't let this trigger or upset you; if you can offer a simple refutation, that will suffice.
Thoughts, /sci/?

no its not pseudoscience libtard its the best explanation we have for our universe

It's nothing. It's not a theory. It does no calculations. It makes no predictions. It's just schizo wordies rambling.

Scientists act so smug when they yap about electrons all day and different atoms attract eachother by giving up or stealing and firmly holding onto electrons, almost like whole universe IS electric.

Lel no. An actual ToE would unify physics and all fundamental forces. And a real physical theory is mathematical in nature, words alone are imprecise. A real ToE would be able to calculate the orbits of planets, as well as calculate the results of experiments in particle colliders.
The electric universe is not even a physical theory, it is a lose collection of ideas. It is not defined formally, or even written down. If you listen to different proponents you will get wildly different answers. But a core factor is that there is no math, there is nothing to test. And so it is not a ToE.
The only attempt at building a ToE by one of it's proponents was for them to claim gravity was the electrostatic force, caused by a slight imbalance between protons and electrons. Even their own acolytes could smell the bullshit, in that any tiny imbalance in the charge of an object would cause it to experience large positive or negative gravity.>It seems even way more fringe or crackpot than quantum gravity can seem but I get the impression that it actually may have some robustness to it in terms of research.
It does not. They don't test their ideas against data or calculations. They claim to be all about experiments, but in their entire project they did one, which didn't publish anything of substance. There is no research. They literally take more of their dogma from cave paintings and sci-fi literature than plasma physics.
There is no simple refutation, because there is no "theory". It is just a lose collection of ideas. Various specific specific hypothesis have been debunked, they do not care.

Electric Universe is a psychedelic trance project from Germany formed by Boris Blenn and Michael Dressler in 1991.Their first EP release, Solar Energy, was an instant hit with the underground trance scene and is often credited with putting the Spirit Zone Recordings label at the forefront of psychedelic trance early on. According to The Sofia Echo, they were "hailed in the 1990s as one of the top psychedelic trance projects to come out of Germany".
