Charged

The Unexpected Role of Electricity in the Workings of Nature
by Gerald H. Pollack

What Readers Are Saying

“This book shall captivate children and Nobel laureates alike.”
—Alex Gómez-Marín, Director of the Pari Center in Italy
“The same scientist who revolutionized our understanding of water a decade ago, is about to do the same to the role of electric charge in the world… I almost fell off my chair several times when reading the Introduction, but chapter after chapter convinced me that he had very solid evidence for every claim. And Prof. Pollack’s courage for challenging the status quo — rarely popular — is astounding and inspiring!!”
—Yonah Alexandre Bronstein, PhD, President and CTO of ASTAV, Inc.
“Gerald Pollack is one of my favorite scientists. He asks penetrating questions about everyday phenomena, like clouds, the rotation of the earth and the flight of birds and comes up with radical yet simple suggestions for a new scientific vision. He reveals that our current scientific understanding, which we usually take for granted, is often a misunderstanding that lulls us into a false sense of certainty. His book is a breath of fresh air, and indeed gives a new way of thinking about fresh air itself. Charged is clearly written with delightful diagrams and drawings which make concepts easier to grasp. It is rare to encounter such a brilliant, original and stimulating book that changes the way we see the world around us. I am very grateful to Pollack for writing it.”
—Dr. Rupert Sheldrake, Biologist and Author of Science Set Free

About the Book

Charged explores a bold rethinking of natural phenomena by framing the Earth not as an electrically neutral sphere, but as a charged body with far-reaching consequences. This perspective sheds light on fundamental dynamics such as the origin of Earth’s magnetic field, the rotation of the planet, and the forces driving weather. 

​This electrical paradigm is extended to broader mysteries of nature, including gravitation, which is reconsidered not as mass-based attraction alone but as an interaction between electrical charges within matter. The same principles are applied to motion and lift: whether dust particles, birds, planes, fish, or sailboats, movement through air or water is reinterpreted as a consequence of charge interactions. Taken together, this book proposes an alternative framework in which electricity plays a central, often overlooked role in shaping the forces and motions of the natural world. 

Charged invites us to see the world through new eyes—to recognize the electrical nature of reality.

Praise for Charged

“Prof. Pollack is extrapolating upon his great discoveries. This is the kind of thinking needed to advance our paradigms scientifically. Reading this book changed how I look at … Everything!”
—George Wiseman, Alternative Energy Innovator and President of Eagle-Research
“This book demystifies the pivotal role of electrical charge in nature, to be understood by everyone. By applying ‘Occam’s razor’ of simplicity, Pollack enables the scientist as well as the novice to understand and value the profound connections between electricity, water, and all life”
—Stuart Rudick, EverBlue Ventures
“Thank you, Prof. Pollack, for this insightful book. It asks fundamental questions about natural phenomena that we see every day, and draws bold conclusions about how they really work. All involve electric charge. Reading this book was an exciting journey, full of intellectual pleasure.”
—GunWoong Bahng PhD, Leading Professor, SUNY Korea
“Charged brilliantly illuminates the hidden electrical forces that shape our world. This book will change the way you think about everything from weather patterns to human health.”
—Dr. Lynne McTaggart, Author of The Field
“This is a mind-blowing book! For the first time I have found a reasonable explanation for most fundamental phenomena, from cloud formation to the rotation of the Earth and the origin of the magnetic field. This is a real scientific thriller, and a must read for all open-minded people, regardless of their profession and education. Ethan Pollack’s illustrations make this book lively and sometimes even funny.”
—Konstantin Korotkov, President of Bio-Well Companies, USA and Spain
“Charged forces you to walk through the world with eyes a lot more open than before; you cannot unsee the many observations once pointed out. It presents a mind-boggling series of paradoxes that scientists seemingly worked around for decades without questioning what now seem to be mere assumptions rather than proven concepts…”
—Achim Hoffmann, PhD, CEO of Ocane Ltd.

A Shortcut to the Road Ahead

The key to this book lies in the unexpectedly central role of electrical charge throughout nature. The book will take you on an electrical journey. It will explore how an appreciation of the role of electrical charge might offer a way forward to a simpler and more straightforward understanding of the science of everyday life — the science that lets us understand how the world works.

You might presume you already know how the world works. After all, you regularly think about explanations for natural phenomena. It’s raining — so you surmise that those droplets must be pulled to the earth by gravitation. Suppositions like that can feel satisfying; you’re comforted by your apparent understanding of nature. Who needs any further comprehension?

Yet, even in that seemingly straightforward realm, matters are not so straightforward. A scientific study challenges that simple gravitational interpretation (see Chapter 8): In drawing those raindrops toward the earth’s surface, at work is something beyond just one mass pulling another. To explain the observed high speed of descent, another force must be at play…
