Related but not exactly on point, as I wrote in my https://medium.com/@marcus17043/menage-a-trois-between-science-spirituality-and-philosophy-a634f5446364 :

"How many billions of dollars did it take to build the Large Hadron Collider? Almost $5,000,000,000. It costs a billion a year to operate it. That puts the cost of “discovering” the Higgs Boson at over $13,000,000,000. Source. Why did we search for this particle? Because the math behind the Standard Model of Cosmology and Big Bang Theory predicted its existence and thus finding the particle would support the prevailing theory. However, scientists keep having to come up with fudge factors that they keep on having to further fudge to support this theory. Does anyone stop to think that perhaps gravity keeps falling short, at an accelerating velocity, of describing observations of the structure and age of the universe because something else runs the show? Some philosophers do. See Douglas Giles, PhD’s What if the Universe is NOT Expanding?, in which I dropped a comment with a link to a fascinating article that Rebecca Romanelli had emailed to me, The Sun is Alive, and Why that Matters, in which Charles Eisenstein writes:

'Once we admit the possibility of living stars, we naturally consider a living galaxy as well. Indeed, at the galactic scale and beyond, vast plasma structures weave the cosmos together, pulling stars and galaxies into their observed configurations. At least that is what an unorthodox lineage of physicists, most notably the Nobel laureate Hannes Alfvén, claim. They theorize that electromagnetism is a primary structuring force of the universe, or even the primary structuring force. Plasma cosmologists use electromagnetism to explain the observed motions of stars and galaxies without recourse to dark matter. Some go further to offer alternative theories of cosmogenesis, stellar and galaxy formation, solar physics, and gravity itself.'"
