... of Science', and The Strange Career of Modern Cosmology'), some 110 pages, are taken up by what seems a rather biased review of these subjects. Chapter 5 The Spears of Odin' (an old Scandinavian term for the Aurora Borealis) returns to the subject of plasma physics and traces its development from pioneering work by Birkeland (of the Birkeland-Eyde Furnace Nitrogen fixation method fame) in the last decade of the 19th century. Birkeland started by studying the aurora and traced the aurora and magnetic storms to electrical effects from the sun, linking magnetic storms on earth to with the rotation of groups of sun-spots. He was able to quite accurately' estimate the speed ...

... them and Earth together. This was the polar column, variously referred to in myths as the axis mundi, or World Tree. [5 ] Its exact scientific nature is unknown but current theorists claim it may have been a huge tornado-like structure, a Rankine vortex (especially between Mars and the Earth) or entwined electrical structures of sustained Birkeland currents (especially between Mars, Venus, and Saturn). A Rankine vortex, as elucidated by Frederic Jueneman, [6 ] may have stretched between Earth and a north polar-positioned Mars. Developed from the "synchronous rotation and mutual attraction of the pair," various forces would have combined to produce an enormous tornado-like vortex that eventually ...

Birkeland observed aurorae and magnetic storms in nature and tried to understand them through his famous terrella experiment. He found that when his terrella was immersed in a plasma, luminous rings were produced around the ...

... , on the other hand, had originally explained the polar column as a stream of debris stretching between Saturn and Earth, [83] but later amended this to a stream of debris attracted from Mars toward Earth. [84] Additionally, Wallace Thornhill believes he has recognized this ethereal pillar as a sustained plasma discharge in the form of Birkeland current. [85] Now perhaps it is possible that all three functions described above came into play at once or in succession- and Talbott himself seems to accept Thornhill's explanation in conjunction with his own [86]- but this might be stretching things a little. One objection that can be raised against Talbott's interpretation, meanwhile, ...

... shape and orientation of Jupiter's orbit. However, there is at present no known reason for such a gradual change to occur. This consistent effect could not be caused gravitationally by any other body in the solar system, though the similarity to the behaviour of Saxl's pendulums can hardly be missed. In the early part of this century, Kristian Birkeland claimed that there is an electron current that flows from the Sun to the Earth along magnetic lines. He then proved this to be the case experimentally. A discussion of this work by Anthony L. Peratt appeared in Sky and Telescope for May 1985, pp. 389-391. Peratt wrote- Today plasma physicists believe that many of the ...

... Venus, together with world-wide petroglyphs of Y-shape figures featured in previous AEON articles. Because, at times, both Venus and Mars were seen to move below this bifurcation, goddesses and gods of these planets were associated with similar shaped symbols. The Plasma Fork Possibly the most important indicator of this bifurcation is to be found in the appearance of Birkeland currents and plasma columns. (Figure 13 is an example of this phen-omena. [111] ) A plasmatic Birkeland current suitably accounts for the physics behind the columnar structure that "Saturnists" have been writing about for these many years. [112] Fig. 12 Examples of forked or bifurcated symbols all related to the polar column ...

... 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 ...

... solely in supernovae, but at the surface of all stars in the non-thermal compression and acceleration of plasma discharges (granulations). Hence, nucleosynthesis and what little neutrino production there is fall as the sunspot number increases. The differential rotation of the Sun, its magnetic field and the sunspot cycle are all influenced by the Sun's passage across large Birkeland currents flowing along, and defining the arms of our galaxy. PLANET FORMATION - The Laplacian theory and its variants are garbage. The Hubble Space Telescope has shown that in regions of star formation large bodies are being shot out as if from a gun, which is peculiar if gravity is the operative force. Once again plasma discharges provide ...

... The European Space Agency's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) noted these polar plumes in 1996. COMMENT BY WAL THORNHILL What is fascinating is that astrophysicists cannot "see" what they are looking at because of the dogma that electric currents cannot flow in space and the Sun cannot be electrically charged. The thin, straight tubes are diagnostic of Birkeland currents. Birkeland currents also have an outer twisted filament or rope-like form taken by electric current flowing in plasma. The Alfven waves are therefore more likely to be the structure of the magnetic field associated with Birkeland currents. Otherwise there is some unspecified activity required beneath the Sun's surface to excite the Alfven waves, or "pluck the guitar ...

... amazing quantized redshifts of quasars discovered by the astronomer, Halton Arp. So the Sun shines by courtesy of its electrical environment in a spiral arm of the Milky Way galaxy. Its size, color and energy output are all determined by its environment. Electric current in a plasma flows along magnetic field lines in "ropes", known as Birkeland currents. Each "filament" of the rope exhibits long-range attraction and short-range repulsion for other parallel filaments. The result is that they twist together to form ropes. It is the (usually invisible) plasma equivalent of multi-stranded copper wire. That the Sun is the focus for a plasma discharge can be seen in the filamentary phenomena at ...
