I saw about 30 minutes of that video, followed all the links did a search on google, searched arxiv for any papers that might be available (there weren’t any that I could see) and came up with nothing. I still have no idea what this theory of an electric universe is. If you know of any place that actually explains it in any way that isn’t almost 100% conceptual then I’d appreciate it if you could point it out.
On the face of it this looks like a borderline crackpot theory, and I don’t particularly mean any offense; it just looks like that. A slight pedantic beef with the video, they kept on repeating that magnetic fields are only produced by electric currents. However, they fail to mention that this is strictly an experimental fact and there is no theoretical “reason” as to why there shouldn’t be any magnetic monopoles. In fact physicists have spent some time looking for them (there has been at least one detection of a monopole though this is suspect since no one has been able to repeat it B. Cabrera Phys Rev. Lett. 48, 1378 (1982)). Another point I didn't understand was how in the world the ancient pictures fit into it. The fact that so many different cultures drew similar looking things is certainly interesting. However, it doesn't have much to do with physics in my opinion. To use some ubiquities drawing that was made by people living millennia ago that sort of looks like some electrical phenomena as support for a modern physical theory seems like bad science at best.
