"The first principle is that you must not fool
yourself and you are the easiest person to fool."
Richard P. Feynman
The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no
evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd; indeed
in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind,
a widespread belief is more likely to be foolish than
sensible." Bertrand Russell

The NASA spacecraft, IBEX, has recently
discovered another shock for the mainstream, if you'll
pardon the pun, yet again. Researchers describe it as
a “ribbon” of highly energetic particles at
the boundary of our solar system, and it has them puzzled.
From the article at World
Science Oct 2009:
"The instruments
measure and count particles known as energetic neutral
atoms. These arise from an area called the interstellar
boundary. This zone, undetectable by normal telescopes,
is where electrically charged particles flowing from
the sun, called the solar wind, pass far beyond the
planets and plow into the gas and dust of the larger
galaxy. "
"..."
"We expected
to see small, gradual spatial variations
at the interstellar boundary,”
McComas told physicsworld.com, a website
of the London-based Institute of Physics.
Scientists think the finding doesn’t
fit with the accepted model of the heliosphere,
thought to be shaped like a comet by the collision
of the outgoing solar wind and a greater
“galactic wind."
Though I tire of saying it, these mysterious
ribbons are expected and predicted by the plasma model.
In this particular case, these filaments clearly connect
our solar system with the electrical supply of the wider
galaxy.

| Young Galaxies Have Surprisingly Strong
Magnetic Fields: Contradicts Popular Theories |
|

|

ScienceDaily
(July 26, 2008) "The origin
of magnetic fields in galaxies is still a mystery to
astronomers. Popular theories suggest continual strengthening
over billions of years. The latest results from Simon
Lilly’s group, however, contradict this assumption
and reveal that young galaxies also have strong magnetic
fields."
If only the astronomical community would listen to
Nobel Laureate, Hannes Alfvén, who explained
that magnetic fields cannot be viewed in isolation.
Electric Currents and Magnetic Fields go hand in hand.

Another successful prediction of the plasma model.
Astronomers find that galaxies are not oriented randomly
in space
"...Trujillo's team found that significantly
more spiral galaxies spin with their axes aligned with
the filaments they are embedded in than would be expected
by chance..."

What is making NASA's twin Pioneer
spacecraft mysteriously drift off course, apparently
defying the laws of physics? Pioneer 10 and 11 were
launched in the early 1970s and explored the outer solar
system, but in 1980 mission scientists noticed that
the spacecraft have drifted off course by hunderds of
thousands of kilometres.
Both spacecraft have been pulled
a little harder than expected towards the sun since
their launch. In addition to possible technical explanations,
engineers are now having to consider the possibility
of a breakdown in our understanding of gravity!

Huge Auroras on Jupiters

Io and Jupiter are connected by a 'flux tube' that
contains an electric current of at least 5,000,000 amps
generating trillions of watts of power! From Solarviews.com

|
|
| |
|
|
| As early as 1979 this paper
speculated that the eruptions on Io were driven by electrical
phenomena! This EU idea is still anathema to the mainstream. |

From
the first five frames of the flash
By isolating the brightest parts
of the flash in each frame, colourising the results,
and superimposing them in pairs, it is possible
to see how the flash moved over time. The result
strongly supports the pre-impact flash hypothesis
of EU theorists.
It will be interesting to
see how NASA explain this.

According to conventional wisdom, comets are left over
from the formation of our solar system. Expectations
in this regard have shaped our theories, but the trouble
is that ongoing discoveries continually challenge the
'Dirty Snowball' model. The copper projectile, Deep
impact, was recently crashed into comet Tempel 1 and
the results have produced further 'big surprises', although
they lend strong support to EU theories, and were in
fact predicted by Wal Thornhill. See links below.
NASA scientists were astonished and expressed their
amazement on camera and in no uncertain terms: "The
blast was considerably more energetic than I expected...”,
“The big question is how did we make such a big
splash...”, “I’m at a loss to explain
it...”
The results still require further analysis, and this
could take some time, but the bright and frequent outflarings,
together with the much brighter than expected pre-impact
and impact flashes strongly support EU predictions.
An additional electrical component to comets would explain
these.
Moreover, little ice/water has thus far been detected
from the impact. In a splendid display of sophistry,
some in the mainstream have now re-dubbed comets as
'Snowy Dirtballs' and even 'Powdery Fluffballs'. Whatever
next? Giant balls of cheese?
Further, from Thunderbolts - Comets:
The Loose Thread
"...'If astronomy were a science,'as
one astronomer put it, theoreticians would admit that
the theory had been falsified, and they would start
over with an eye to the evidence. Instead, they hang
on to the theory with ever more stubbornness and hope
a little tinkering and adjusting will bring the facts
into line..."

| In an interesting development, a recent

article talks in terms of enormous voltages. Such a reference
to electrical phenomena in space is rare indeed from mainstream
sources, and should be seen as positive progress. |

The below is quoted from the article
"Chandra examines quadrillion-volt
pulsar
The high-voltage environment of one of
the most energetic and strongly magnetized pulsars known
has been surveyed by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory.
A team of astronomers found a powerful jet of high-energy
particles extending over a distance of 20 light years
and bright arcs believed to be due to particles of matter
and anti-matter generated by the pulsar."

There is an interesting lead article
in the April 2005 edition of Scientific American. It
is entitled 'Probing the Geodynamo', and it focuses
on the magnetic field lines generated by the Earth's
'internal dynamo', and the difficulties in measuring
these fields. The dynamo driving these fields is the
the relative movement of electrically conducting fluids
at the Earth's core. It also speculates about the possible
cause of polarity changes, which are known to have happened.
However, there is no mention of electric
currents or plasma in space, or any potential interaction
between space plasmas and the earth's geodynamo and
magnetic field lines. Worse still, that dreaded term
favoured by the mainstream raises its head. The article
says: "We can think of these lines of force as
being 'frozen in'..."
The term 'frozen-in' is debunked in the
technical section of this site.
