27. The Electric Saturnian System [Journals] [Aeon]
... the Photospher the top or the bottom of the phenome-non we call the Sun?" [5 ] The brown dwarf (which is actually red) that was proto-Saturn would have been a much smaller anode than our present Sun. When the size of an anode is reduced, the anode sheath must grow large to reach farther into the primary plasma in search of collectible electrons. This process is self-limiting because the electric field within the sheath grows stronger as the sheath expands. Electrons caught in that field are accelerated to ever-greater energies until they are able to ionize particles they collide with, and the sheath takes on a uniform glow- the skin-like anode glow. The "anode dark ...

From: SIS Internet Digest 2002:2 (Dec 2002) Home | Issue Contents Hannes Alfvén (1908-1995)public.lanl.gov/alp/plasma/people/alfven.html Prof. Hannes Alfvén The Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm Hannes Alfvén, winner of the 1970 Nobel Prize in Physics,acknowledged as one of creative and intuitive intellect's of the 20th century, died peacefully Sunday evening, April 2, 1995 in Stockholm, Sweden. He was 86 years old. In the world of specialized science, Alfvén was an enigma. Regarded as a heretic by many physicists, Alfvén made contributions to physics that are today being applied in the development of particle ...
29. Evidence for the Extreme Youth of Venus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... for any hypothesis, and it fits the observations better than theories based on gravitational collapse and trapped magnetic fields. Of course, it needs a lot more detailed work by physicists to determine the precise behaviour of matter under extremely high pressures in a gravitational field. Also, we need an improved understanding of the nature of electrical discharges in the plasma of space. A plasma is like a gas but, instead of being composed of neutral atoms, it consists of free ionised atoms and electrons in roughly equal numbers. It is a better conductor than any metal. Space plasmas exhibit a high degree of complexity and inhomogeneity, usually in the form of filamentary structures. Examples are auroral ...
30. Testing Juergens' 'electric sun' theory [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Anomalous Cosmic Rays (ACRs). These are cosmic rays enriched in nitrogen, oxygen and helium - elements that will be predominantly neutral in interstellar space. It is now believed that these elements are ionized and accelerated by the shock at the heliopause. I am somewhat sceptical of explanations which rely on magnetic field compression at shock-fronts' in a plasma. Such theories, together with magnetic field reconnection' events, perpetuate the myth that magnetic fields can be frozen into a plasma and that a mathematical necessity of a purely magnetic/mechanical model must have physical meaning. In my opinion, following Ralph Juergens, the correct model must involve electric currents in space plasmas - then observed magnetic ...
31. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the Ancient Near East becomes sufficiently well established that the orthodox view cannot be questioned. Velikovsky would have disagreed, he carried his revisionism down into the Late Period in Ancient Egyptian history, and considered that the history of the Ancient Near East only becomes "fixed" with the conquests of Alexander the Great in the 4th century BCE. Introducing Plasma Mythology'http://mythopedia.info/ A large segment of the world's repository of myths, rituals and early cosmologies reflects an episode in time when the sky looked more turbulent and alive than it does today. Extreme auroral events prevailed, likely caused by a disturbance of the geomagnetic field and an excessive influx of cometary debris ...
32. Archetypes Showing The Presence of Anomalous Electromagnetic Activity [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the practical usage of psychic abilities. Summary There is evidence that until quite recently, plasmic structures of varying lengths of stability or permanence were actually observed in the sky above Earth. So-called comets' observed and recorded in late Renaissance art were comparatively ephemeral and for the most part were manifestations of excess plasmic activity. The more permanent structures of plasma, mostly in the form of conglomerates of opposing magnetic fields, reflect both ancient art and myth. This presentation is intended as an introduction to the study of structures like these and to point out the possibility of a prior environment within the Solar System, unlike the one we experience today. My paper Snapshots of The Gods' [ ...

... two bodies, Earth and Moon, revolve monthly about a common gravitational barycenter, while Earth itself rotates daily on its own axis through this same barycenter. It's dynamically like an Olympic ham-mer-thrower who is simultaneously performing a pirouette. In the same issue of AEON, Wallace Thornhill was stated to have given the name "Birkeland current" to the plasma discharge in the polar vortex [24] , a term that I can't find in my science references. (There is, though, a Birkeland-Eyde process for fixing nitrogen by means of an arc discharge of alternating current in a magnetic field, although what the relationship is on a planetary scale isn't clear from Thornhill's explanation.) I ...

... ] By Wal Thornhill. The grandest canyon in the solar system is Valles Marineris on Mars. It stretches a third of the way around the planet. But what in heaven can spiral galaxies have to do with the geology of Mars? In October 2001, I wrote "In light of more than a century's research in the field of plasma cosmology and the 20th century discoveries of the space age, we can confidently propose the celestial thunderbolt as a common cause of the formation of canyons and rilles on rocky planets and moons." At that time I had not come to any conclusion about the details of the electrical event that created the colossal Valles Marineris canyons on Mars. ...

The bolt was football shaped with stringy things spiraling out of it. Wal explained that it was the shape a plasmoid took in a vacuum. "Gee-golly-cornpone!" I thought. "The ancient Greeks carved statues of something that hasn't been seen until modern man cranked up the current in a high-voltage lab." Now it's happened again. At the recent seminar in Portland, the work ...

... square of the distance. Thus, in a vacuous interplanetary medium, or even in a medium of neutral atomic or molecular gases, planetary charges must give rise to electric fields detectable by their influences upon planetary motions. In an interplanetary medium consisting of ionized gas, however, things are radically different. One of the primary characteristics of a plasma has up to now received little or no attention from astronomers. This is its ability to shield itself from the electric field of any body in contact with it, or contained within it, and charged to an electric potential different from that of the plasma itself. The mechanism by which such shielding is accomplished was named the space-charge sheath ...
38. Our Universe: Unlocking its Mysteries [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... . It may have been the result of a close pass-by of an asteroid or comet. Perhaps an inherent instability of the alignment resulted in its natural dissolution. Whatever the cause of the breakup, we know the final result is what we see today - the placid, almost circular, well separated orbits of our present solar system. Interacting Plasmas: Many skeptics say that there is no mechanism that could have circularized the wildly divergent paths of the planets that were ejected from the polar configuration. Electrical Engineer, Donald Scott, points out that plasma physics shows us that planets can interact electrically if they are within each other's protective plasma sheaths (magnetospheres). Electrical repulsion that is ...

... . It arises in bulk matter where the nuclear electrostatic dipoles align to form the gravitational field. The only other requirement is that the electrostatic force between nucleons is transmitted at near infinite speed. The complete model is an interdisciplinary, holistic construct built upon the work of a number of scholars over the last century in the fields of classical and plasma physics, astronomy, electrical engineering, biochemistry and comparative mythology. Some critics have raised the question: "How can a star be formed in the Electric Universe?"- implying that the electrostatic model of gravity denies the very existence of the phenomenon of gravity. The electrostatic model does not deny the existence of gravity. Instead, ...

... we are talking concretely about a roving seminar in which Bob will be a vital part. One of the aims of the seminar will be to take the discussion onto major campuses. Lastly, I must mention what, for me was the conference highlight. Actually, it was more than a conference highlight since it involved various discussions with the plasma physicist, Wal Thornhill beginning more than a month in advance of the event. Wal arrived in Portland from Australia in late November to help out on conference organisation, pitching his tent in our office up to the day we headed out to the conference. It gave us a splendid opportunity to compare notes, relating the historical argument of ...

... From: SIS Internet Digest 2001:2 (Sep 2001) Home | Issue Contents Plasma Phenomenon in the Polar Configuration DAVE TALBOTT continues his talk, this time on plasma phenomena in the Polar Configuration. But he began by talking about the Egyptian ostrich feather motif, and how it could have derived from the White Crown; this is predicted from an electrical perspective and the Polar Configuration. The colinear polar configuration has an analogue in the universe, that of Herbig-Haro objects. Dave went on to talk about the "whirling Venus", which is illustrated in ancient imagery with tentacles, Medusa's hair, and pondered whether there was a connection between tendrils/tentacles. Dave speculated ...

... the reach of technology. With the process scaled down to manageable size, why shouldn't controlled fusion become a tool of man? The energy released in the conversion of hydrogen - so abundant in the seas of Earth - to helium - a useful and valuable element - could power the electric generators that man never seemed to have enough of. Plasma physics became the promised land where all this would come to pass. In a remarkably short time thousands of young people with advanced degrees in plasma physics and electrical engineering were streaming from campuses of higher learning, primed and eager to get on with the business of harnessing fusion energy. These enthusiasts disappeared into research laboratories and were seldom heard ...

... . If we apply these criteria, two disciplines that share line honours for pathological or strange science are cosmology and particle physics. Here are some of the many unstated assumptions underpinning the X-ray pulsar model: It is assumed that the physics of neutral matter and ideal gases on Earth can be used to explain the operation of the glowing balls of plasma we call stars. Wal comments: 99.999% of the universe is made of plasma. It is not necessarily electrically neutral and does not behave like an ideal gas. It is assumed that all interstellar plasma is mostly an ionized, uncharged, superconducting gas that can trap and carry magnetic fields. Wal: Plasma is not ...

And the absolute limit with respect to possible sizes for Saturn would be the four sizes at the upper end of the scale. That's one in five. Twenty times ten times five is a thousand. Plasma discharge: a physical model for the Radiant Venus And keep in mind, this does not take into account the even larger size of Jupiter. If we include the apparent ancient know-ledge that Jupiter was the largest of the planets, a matter emphasized by Velikovsky, the odds grow worse by reducing the pos-sible sizes of Saturn that will work ...

... " says team member Marcia Neugebauer of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. "It's a really strong signal, and there's no doubt it's real." NASA's Pioneer Venus Orbiter first found the tail in the late 1970s. Around 70,000 kilometres from the planet, the spacecraft detected bursts of hot, energetic ions, or plasma. The tail exists because ions in Venus's upper atmosphere are bombarded by the solar wind, a stream of plasma that blows out from the Sun. But now Europe's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), a project partly sponsored by NASA, has shown that the tail stretches some 45 million kilometres into space, more than 600 times ...

Polarization in Gamma-Ray Bursts Produced by Pinch Discharge http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0501334 Authors: Mei Wu, Li Chen, Ti-pei Li. Journal-ref: Chin.J .Astron.Astrophys. 5 (2005) 57-64. Large-voltage and high-temperature plasma columns produced by pinch discharge can generate gamma-ray flashes with energy spectra and spectral evolution consistent with that observed in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). The inverse Compton scattering (ICS) during the discharge process can produce high linear polarization. The calculation indicates that the observed polarization depends on the angle between the observer's line-of-sight to the GRB and the ...
