... have an explanation for active galactic nuclei and the birth of quasars. Quantised galactic and stellar redshift is simply explained by Sansbury's new classical physics model of gravity as a near instantaneous electrostatic dipolar force. In fact, it would have been embarrassing if quantum redshifts had not been found. Matter creation is unnecessary when the effective scavenging ability of intergalactic Birkeland currents is added to the electrical causation of increasing inertial mass. Arp's work forms a major piece in the jigsaw puzzle that is The Electric Universe. Just as the Electric Universe does away with the fanciful notion of black holes, Arp reserves some wry comments about this mythical beast that is supposed to lurk at the centres of galaxies and ...
52. Plasma Scalability [Journals] [Aeon]
... function as predicted with minimum iteration, as has been proven to be the case. Dwardu Cardona replies: First of all, I had already stated that Peratt, who had gone over the paper in question prior to publication, disagrees on this particular issue. Even so, as Hannes Alfvén, Peratt's own mentor, stressed: "Following Birkeland, the first laboratory experiments with reference to cosmic physics had the character of scale-model experiments...Such investigations demonstrated, however, that no real scaling of cosmic phenomena down to laboratory size is possible, partly because of the large number of parameters involved which obey different scaling laws." [16] "There are good reasons ...
53. Interstellar "Comets" [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... each Propolyd is generating the surrounding cloud by spewing material into space in the same way that a comet does under the influence of electrical discharges at the nucleus. Your comment about the lack of alignment of some tails with the brighter stars seems to be so. This would be expected if the tail direction merely shows the local alignment of the Birkeland current thread in which the Propolyd is embedded. A Propolyd type of phenomena is precisely the way I envisage the Saturnian system behaving upon entering our Sun's electrical influence. Saturn is reported to have spewed material into space, which would have formed an obscuring coma, noted by Dave and Dwardu Cardona, just as we see with the Propolyds ...
54. Snowball Mini-comets [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... the tether. In the New Scientist of 31 May, p.18, there is a news item, "Planet's tail of the unexpected", which, un-noticed, provides direct confirmation of electric currents flowing between a planet and its surroundings. The "stringy things" detected near the Earth and causing such puzzlement can only be "Birkeland currents" which alone are capable of maintaining narrow plasma filaments over vast distances. It is the only force free configuration for a current carrying plasma. Hannes Alfven described them in his works and they feature in the recent plasma cosmology book, The Big Bang Never Happened, by Eric Lerner. So, I suggest that storm clouds which ...
55. Thoth Vol III, No. 5: March 15, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... more detailed articulation or by ad hoc amendment) or by discounting-even ignoring-facts that don't fit, that make no sense. From the viewpoint of plasma physics, the term "sun" refers to a set of observations (not quite the same set as for established theory, and certainly with different degrees of importance attached) understood as effects of Birkeland currents, anode discharge characteristics, and driven circuits. While not denying the existence of gravity and gasses and fusion, it dismisses them as being of secondary importance, as not being the center of attention (just as established theory dismisses plasma phenomena as secondary and uninteresting). Because the universe of facts is much larger and more complex ...

... neutrinos go if the sun is fusion-powered? Why is the corona so much hotter than the surface of the sun? Why do the outer layers of the sun rotate faster than the inner? Why does the solar wind accelerate as it gets farther from the sun? And what are sunspots, anyway? Thornhill's CD compares close-ups of sunspots to Birkeland currents- the distinctive twisted filaments that plasmas form because of their long-range attraction and close-range repulsion. He speculates that sunspot activity, as well as the size and color of a star, is a function of the strength of the galactic plasma field it is embedded in. In this viewpoint, even gravity becomes a variable, dependent on ...

... the notion that they are isolated thermonuclear entities. For example, based on an Electric Universe, the blueness of the stars indicates that they are under extreme electrical stress, which in turn predicts that the motion of the galactic arms containing them will be more violent than usual. It is highly likely that two close galaxies will be linked by Birkeland currents with ensuing highly complex non-gravitational interactions. Part of that may involve charge exchange which could explain the blue stars. The picture shows two helices, the signature of gigantic Birkeland currents, containing blue stars, emanating from the two galactic centres. It would be interesting to try to trace the electrical current flow between the galaxies by looking ...

... nearly zero degrees at 50-deg latitude increasing to 23.5 degrees at 36-deg latitude. This suggests the presence of an intense prehistoric southerly influx. We present digital elevation data where the southern-most petroglyph locations silhouette profiles of mountains, often many kilometers to the south.

... storms on Earth. It would be of interest to know if Jupiter's ionosphere is the site of diffuse electrical discharges above the GRS." And more expansively on 2nd September 1997: "The Great Red Spot (GRS) and white spots on Jupiter may have something in common with sunspots. All are probably the point of connection of a Birkeland current rope from the plasmoid surrounding the planet/sun. The strong vertical magnetic field in sunspots suggests this is so in their case. (Birkeland currents flow along magnetic field lines in a force-free fashion). The long-lived GRS on Jupiter may be associated with some underlying electrical inhomogeneity in the planet resulting from the catastrophic breakup of the ...
60. The Electric Saturnian System [Journals] [Aeon]
... thermoelement- and applies it simplistically and unquestioningly to the flawed thermonuclear model of the Sun. The book does not come to grips with the complexities of plasma behavior as outlined in Tony Peratt's Physics of the Plasma Universe, or Ralph Juergens' Pensée and KRONOS articles on the Electric Sun. As a result, many crucially important phenomena, like Birkeland currents, z-pinches, and double-layers, are unrecognized. The book does not, therefore, have the scope of my version of the Electric Universe, which recognizes the work of these people, and many other pioneers, and also deals with changes to basic physics and a very different prehistoric sky. László has asked many questions and he ...
