... 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 presentation 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, are functions of the strength of the galactic plasma field the star is embedded in. In this viewpoint, even gravity becomes a variable, dependent on ...
42. To Begin the World Over Again [Journals] [Aeon]
... helixes, and often show knots of luminosity. Why nebular gas and dust are organized into filaments. Why equatorial toroids emit x-rays. Why space probes and comets show anomalous acceleration toward the Sun. It gets worse. It's not only upsetting, but also revolutionary. With electromagnetism, overwhelming forces are only the beginning. There are circuits. Birkeland currents in plasma can feed power between stars, around galaxies, and across intergalactic space. A universe filled with power grids instead of vacuum explains: Why the Sun oscillates- in its radiation output, in its sunspot cycle, in its physical size. Why the Sun's corona is much hotter than its photosphere. Why the solar " ...
43. Remarks on TV Series To Feature Planetary Catastrophe [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... the conventional model, there can be no such structure in a tail constituted from plasma simply "blowing in the (solar) wind." The discovered structure requires the flow of electricity ‹ a phenomenon astronomy has never even considered!‹ and this single fact challenges mainstream theory at its foundations. The flow of electricity in a plasma produces Birkeland Currents in the form of twisting filaments- the "stringy things" encountered by the SOHO satellite. But long before the SOHO discovery, Wal Thornhill had discussed this principle of cometary "discharges" --while the twisting, "braided" hair of the Venus comet has for many years been part of David Talbott's reconstruction! Now to the punchline ...
44. NASA on Galileo's current mission [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... and we can therefore ignore the possibility that Jupiter may be part of a larger electrical circuit. I would expect that when the results of Galileo's sweep through Jupiter's magnetotail are published we will find that it is not as neat as expected and depicted in the models of planetary magnetotails. They should detect a rapidly varying field as they cut through Birkeland current "ropes" trailing away from the planet in the magnetotail. That can then be added to the plasma ropes detected from Venus and in the tail of a comet as proof of the larger electrical circuitry in space. ...

Why does the solar wind accelerate as it gets farther from the sun? And what are sunspots, anyway?

46. Plasma discharges in rock art? [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Portland, the work of Tony Peratt, author of "The Plasma Universe," (Springer- Verlag, 1992) was called to our attention. His work shows pictures of extremely powerful plasma discharges in his lab. They're called "Peratt instabilities." As the current is pumped up, the stringy things (NASA's technical jargon for Birkeland filaments, which they re-discovered awhile back in the tail of Venus) grow saw-toothed edges and make a tumultuous noise. (That last is the ancient Egyptian scribe Ipuwer's jargon "Oh that the Earth would cease from noise and tumult be no more.") Then the sawteeth develop into strings of triangles, ladder shapes, and stacks ...
47. The Thunderbolt in Myth and Symbol [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Velikovsky's lead) that lightning bolts had passed between planets. And I had identified the Valles Marineris on Mars as the lightning scar, wound, or disfiguring mark on the celestial warriors of mythology (the "Scarface" motif about which I've spoken elsewhere). But prior to Wal Thornhill's arrival in Portland, I didn't even know what a Birkeland Current is, and I knew nothing about the unique configurations taken by plasma discharges. Convergence of Myth and Science While I've experienced many breakthroughs over more than a quarter century, this one exceeded all others. It was the first indication that, at a level of explicit detail, a convergence of myth and science may be possible. ...
48. David Talbott's Saturn Theory [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... "may pose a considerable challenge to current theories about how planets form". As David Davis mentioned, it has also been suggested that Saturn was a brown dwarf: it would have given off its own light and heat. And Dwardu Cardona has presented mythological evidence to suggest that this is consistent with the Golden Age. And finally, Birkeland Currents readily form linear structures in space, Herbig-Haro object being a good example. And this is why the "plasma universe" (public.lanl.gov/alp/plasma/universe.html ) and the Electric Universe (www.holoscience.com/ ) are so important. Wal recently expressed his ideas on this in ...
49. Plasma Phenomenon in the Polar Configuration [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... 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 whether the labyrinth derived from the dishevelling of the cosmic plasma streams; the swastika is the heart of the labyrinth. And the caduceus appears to be a representation of Birkeland currents. Dave's talk contained much more detail than I was able to note. ...
50. Summing up [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... the cause the electrical effects seen through the Saturn system (as comets are similarly affected on approaching the Sun). How would the Earth have survived outside the Solar System? Saturn would have been a brown dwarf, one of the most common objects in the Universe. There was even suggestion that co-linear systems are formed by plasma currents (Birkeland currents) as exemplified by Herbig-Haro objects, some of which "consist of highly linear chains or jets", and the accretion of material in a plasma Z-pinch, where "Most models of young stars and their immediate environments incorporate magnetic fields. Magnetic fields in the collapsing, rotating cloud core are advected with the accretion flow and form ...
