I am not the only LDS on the planet who subscribes to the plasma model of the Universe. There is another: Anthony E. Larson. Larson has written a number of books about plasma theology. Using plasma mythology and plasma cosmology he has developed a body of interpretative keys to understanding prophecy in the standard works. His web site is the following:
Larson has written three books which he calls his prophecy trilogy (And The Moon Shall Turn To Blood, And The Earth Shall Reel To And Fro and And There Shall Be A New Heaven And A New Earth), as well as a book that takes as its subject John’s Book of Revelation (The Plainest Book: Revelation.) He has self-published a periodical called Eschatus, the first issue of which can be read free; the rest must be purchased. Other freebies include a 27-minute DVD introduction into plasma theology (you have to pay $2 shipping and handling), a series of articles published in Desert Saints Magazine which can be downloaded in .pdf format, and a day-long symposium, with a Power Point presentation, etc., in which he asks only that his expenses are paid (airfare to the location and back again.) All of this material is available on his web site.
There is also a free, two-hour long podcast interview that Larson did on the Mormon Miscellaneous Worldwide Talk Show on March 26th, 2007. Click the following link to listen to it:
Prophecy: Scenarios of the End Times
I stumbled upon Larson’s web site one day while researching further information on plasma mythology and plasma cosmology. At the time, Larson had a forum hosted by Yahoo Groups, the various posts of which I began reading daily. There were not a whole lot of people in the forum, but he was both a moderator and a poster, so I was able to get a fairly good understanding of where he was coming from, as far as his interpretative keys. That forum, unfortunately, was disbanded for some reason (perhaps because of the very few people who actually participated in its discussion.) Nevertheless, I, at least, was exposed to it sufficiently to make a determination concerning the information that Larson was giving.
My personal assessment is that Larson’s research is very worthy of study by the LDS and may be helpful in the proper interpretation of prophecy. None of the things that I read in his now-defunct forum, nor those found in the free downloadable material on his web site, have contradicted either the scriptures or plasma research, nor have they triggered a “spiritual red flag” response. By that I mean that the Holy Ghost has not indicated to me that his research and conclusions are false. Nor has the Holy Ghost told me that they are true, nevertheless, Larson is extremely well read and well-grounded in plasma mythology (much more than myself) and has researched this material extensively and, according to the knowledge I have of plasma science and plasma mythology, and also of the gospel of Jesus Christ, Larson’s findings throw further light upon the gospel and upon prophecy because he is able to connect both very well to plasma mythology archetypes (the keys) so that prophecy becomes easily understandable, even plain.

I found this website discussion on an increase in atmospheric heat just prior to the Japan quake that is being associated with increased radiation from natural radon ionizing the upper atmosphere.

Apparently there is an Ionosphere-lithosphere EM coupling idea that has been floated that this might give more evidence for support. Perhaps it also supports plasma theory even more so according to my limited understanding of it. I am just a geologist and sometimes too much physics hurts my brain lol.
Anyway, I don’t subscribe to Continental Drift Theory anymore and the idea of moveable rigid plates has too many inconsistencies, contradictions and ad-hoc subtheories applied to CDT that I think it is bad science. I like the hollow-earth theory coupled with expansion and surge tectonics much better nowadays.
