RhoDeo 2036 Expanse 7

Hello, Tour De France saw a sensational stage at the Pyrenees, Marc Hirschi who had ridden solo most of the stage got caught by the 4 topfavorites 1300m before the finish, but almost surprised them in the sprint, alas Tadej Pogacar saw him coming first and won. Primoz Roglic just pipped him but got the yellow jersey from Yates who dropped to 8th in the standings at 1m 2sec, it goes to show how close the top is after the first 9 stages, a well deserved restday coming up. Over at the F1 was even more sensational race happening a difficult start saw Bottas drop back to sixth with the familiar Red Bull of Verstappen trailing him, Up front Hamilton moved away steadily with Sainz in free space 2nd the rest followed in close contention, first to change tires was Gasly then Magnussen parked his car near the pitlane, then Leclerc crashed his car causing cars to want to change tires under virtual safety car as the pitlane entry was virtually blocked Hamilton entered anyway for fresh tires this got him a stop and go 10 sec penalty but then a red flag ! the race was stopped to remove the Ferrari wreckage, when it restarted Hamilton was last, in the end he made it up to 7th, considering Verstappen's engine gave the ghost and Bottas only 5th, No pain then for the title chase. Mixed bag there Afor Red Bull as it's eye of Horus, Alpha Tauri with Gasly at the wheel won the race causing the Italians mechanics singing their national anthem not for Ferrari, but themselves. Sainz in Mclaren 2nd , Lance Stroll 3rd. Considering Gasly was replaced by Albon a year ago a perfect reversal of fortune as Albon came in 14th and Gasly won for the Red Bull B team, Alpa Centauri, btw these days known as Aldebaran one of the bigger red stars in the Universe...



Here today, Naturally my Quichote mission of trying to breakthough the wall of nonsense build by the supposed smartest men on the planet is continuing as chinks start to appear, their arrogant stupidity set us back decades if not more, electro-magnetics is clean energy and would have delivered us not only flying cars, but flying saucers aswell and who knows a pathway into other dimensions..Meanwhile The Expanse's Leviathan Wakes and starts wagging it's tail....

How does the Sun work?

“In a low density plasma, localized space charge regions may build up large potential drops…Such regions have been called electric double layers…In the laboratory, double layers have been studied for half a century, but their importance in cosmic plasmas has not been generally recognized.”
— Hannes Alfvén

According to a recent press release, the new GREGOR telescope in Tenerife allows heliophysicists to examine the Sun in high resolution. Regions as small as 50 kilometers in diameter are now accessible. First light images reveal sunspot details and convoluted structures in the solar plasma.

Electromagnetism is known to be involved with sunspot activity, since loops of plasma can often be seen connecting two or more of them. Why or how that magnetism is at work on the Sun remains unclear in consensus opinions. In the image at the top of the page, fibrils can be seen with GREGOR in the darkened cores of sunspots.

This is where understanding the difference between hot gas and plasma could provide some illumination: sunspots are not the result of gas convection modified by magnetism, sunspots are electrical structures. Images of sunspots reveal filamentary structures. Those filaments indicate that they are charge vortices, because electric discharges in plasma form rope-like, hollow tendrils. Being “funnels” of plasma, their centers are darker. Convection cells would appear darker at their edges. Standard theory does not accept that darker regions revealed by sunspots means that the Sun is cooler in its interior.

From a fusion stand point, sunspots are not well understood. In the image at the top of the page, another phenomenon called “spicules” can be seen. The smallest features are 130 kilometers in size. Each spicule is about 480 kilometers in diameter, with a length of 3200 kilometers. The largest spicules can be 8000 kilometers long.
Standard theories about the Sun propose that there is a vast “conveyor belt” circulating solar matter down into magnetically active zones deep inside the solar interior. When sunspot magnetic fields begin to decline, the conveyor belt pulls what’s left inside the Sun. This is speculation, however. According to one heliophysicist: “We don’t know how the Sun’s magnetic cycle works.”

The Electric Universe pioneer, Ralph Juergens wrote a paper in 1979 called, “The Photosphere: Is it the Top or Bottom of the Phenomenon We Call the Sun?” Juergens proposed that solar spicules are actually the way that the Sun re-supplies its electrical potential and maintains its photospheric double layer.

Retired Professor of Electrical Engineering, and Electric Universe advocate, Dr. Donald Scott said:

“In order to maintain the double layer above the photosphere that causes almost all the observed properties of the Sun, a certain ratio of the number of outgoing positive ions to the number of incoming electrons must exist. Quoting from Ralph Juergens: ‘In a much cited classical review paper of 1929, Irving Langmuir demonstrated that a double sheath (double layer) is stable only when the current densities of the positive-ion and electron flows across it are properly related. The ratio of the electron current into the spicule to the positive-ion current out of the spicule must equal the square root of the ion mass divided by the electron mass, which is to say: electron current/ion current)^2 = ion mass/electron mass = 1836. Thus electron current/ion current = 43.’

“So there needs to be a lot more (43 times as many) electrons coming down through the double layer as there are positive ions moving outward. Where do they come from?

“In that same year (1979) Earl Milton composed a paper titled, “The Not So Stable Sun” in which he wrote:

“‘In order to maintain a stable sheath between the photosphere and the corona a great many electrons must flow downward through the sheath for each ion which passes upward. The solar gas shows an increasing percentage of ionized-to-neutral atoms with altitude. Some of the rising neutral atoms become ionized by collision. Some fall back to the solar surface. The rising ions ascend into the corona where they become the solar wind. The descending gas flows back to the Sun between the granules – in these channels the electrical field is such that ions straying out from the sides of the photospheric tufts [spicules] flow sunward, and hence the electrons flow outward. The presence of these channels is critical to the maintenance of the solar discharge…. Here we have an explanation for the spicules, huge fountains that spit electrons high into the corona.’

“In my opinion, this also explains what causes sunspots. Wherever the #p/#e ratio is not maintained, the double layer collapses – the photospheric tufts disappear. So we get a spot in that location.”

When electric charge flowing into the Sun’s plasma sheath increases beyond a critical threshold it can trigger a sudden release of that energy, causing solar flares. When the charge accumulation grows too strong, the plasma double layer is destroyed. That event interrupts the charge flow and the stored electromagnetic energy is blasted into space as a solar flare. Solar flares can therefore be thought of as lightning bolts in and on the Sun, sometimes throwing vast quantities of matter into space at near relativistic speeds.

Plasma discharge phenomena are a better model for solar activity, which is why astronomers have a difficult time explaining the Sun’s behavior. Laboratory experiments with a positively charged sphere show that a plasma torus forms above its equator. Electric discharges bridge the torus with the middle and lower latitudes of the sphere. Spicules are consistent with the principle of “anode tufting,” a plasma discharge effect expected of an electronic Sun.

New scientific reports throw into disarray the standard theory of the origins of our planet’s moon. A decade ago, the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency’s spacecraft Kaguya spent a year and a half orbiting the moon and collecting data. The spacecraft was equipped with an ion mass spectrometer, and it detected something unexpected – an abundance of carbon ions, which were distributed “over almost the total lunar surface….”

The problem this discovery presents for the consensus model of the moon's origins is explained in a Science Alert report: “The reason that's a problem for the lunar impact formation model - in which a large body we call Theia collided with Earth sometime in the early years of the Solar System, breaking off a chunk and sending it into Earth orbit - is because volatiles have a low boiling point.

"But the Theia collision would have generated pretty intense temperatures - 4,000-6,000 Kelvin - which should have partially vaporised the debris, and boiled away the volatiles, producing what is known as a volatile-depleted 'dry' Moon.”

In this episode, we explore the theoretical pathways that the Electric Universe offers into lunar geology.

The Expanse is a series of science fiction novels (and related novellas and short stories) by James S. A. Corey, the joint pen name of authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck. The first novel, Leviathan Wakes, was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2012. The series as a whole was nominated for the Best Series Hugo Award in 2017.

As of 2019, The Expanse is made up of eight novels and eight shorter works - three short stories and five novellas. At least nine novels were planned, as well as two more novellas. The series was adapted for television by the Syfy Network, also under the title of The Expanse, then they dropped the ball despite the succes of the series, i suspect the whole thing got too serious (expensive) so once again Syfy network proved they can't handle success. Anyway fans were outraged and got Amazon Prime to pick it up for a fourth and fifth series and considering the mountain of money Jeff Bezos sits on i suspect several more as long as the fans keep cheering.

The Expanse is set in a future in which humanity has colonized much of the Solar System, but does not have interstellar travel. In the asteroid belt and beyond, tensions are rising between Earth's United Nations, Mars, and the outer planets.

The series initially takes place in the Solar System, using many real locations such as Ceres and Eros in the asteroid belt, several moons of Jupiter, with Ganymede and Europa the most developed, and small science bases as far out as Phoebe around Saturn and Titania around Uranus, as well as well-established domed settlements on Mars and the Moon.

As the series progresses, humanity gains access to thousands of new worlds by use of the ring, an artificially sustained Einstein-Rosen bridge or wormhole, created by a long dead alien race. The ring in our solar system is two AU from the orbit of Uranus, and passing through it leads to a hub of starless space approximately one million kilometers across, with more than 1,300 other rings, each with a star system on the other side. In the center of the hub, which is also referred to as the "slow zone", an alien space station controls the gates and can also set instantaneous speed limits on objects inside of the hub as a means of defense.


The story is told through multiple main point-of-view characters. There are two POV characters in the first book and four in books 2 through 5. In the sixth and seventh books, the number of POV characters increases, with several characters having only one or two chapters. Tiamat's Wrath returns to a more limited number with five. Every book also begins and ends with a prologue and epilogue told from a unique character's perspective.

Leviathan Wakes was nominated for the 2012 Hugo Award for Best Novel and the 2012 Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel. The novel was adapted for television in 2015 as the first season of The Expanse by Syfy.

Leviathan Wakes is set in a future in which humanity has colonized much of the Solar System. Earth, governed by the United Nations, and the Martian Congressional Republic act as competing superpowers, maintaining an uneasy military alliance in order to exert dual hegemony over the peoples of the Asteroid belt, known as "Belters." Belters, whose bodies tend to be thin and elongated due to their low-gravity environment, carry out the gritty, blue-collar work that provides the system with essential natural resources, but they are largely marginalized by the rest of the Solar System. The Outer Planets Alliance (OPA), a network of loosely-aligned militant groups, seeks to combat the Belt's exploitation at the hands of the "Inners," who, in turn, have branded the OPA a terrorist organization. The story is told from the point of view of Belter detective Joe Miller, and Earther Jim Holden.

James Holden is XO (Executive Officer) of an ice miner making runs from the rings of Saturn to the mining stations of the Belt. When he and his crew stumble upon a derelict ship, the Scopuli, they find themselves in possession of a secret they never wanted. A secret that someone is willing to kill for – and kill on a scale unfathomable to Jim and his crew. War is brewing in the system unless he can find out who left the ship and why.

Detective Miller is looking for a girl. One girl in a system of billions, but her parents have money and money talks. When the trail leads him to the Scopuli and rebel sympathizer Holden, he realizes that this girl may be the key to everything.

Holden and Miller must thread the needle between the Earth government, the Outer Planet revolutionaries, and secretive corporations – and the odds are against them. But out in the Belt, the rules are different, and one small ship can change the fate of the universe.
