Our planet's North Magnetic Pole is on the move.
According to a recent update to the world magnetic model, the movement of the
North Magnetic Pole, which has been erratically accelerating for about 40
years, has recently accelerated more dramatically.
Of course, planetary scientists attribute changes to our
planet's magnetic field to the so called dynamo deep down in the planet's outer core.
However, we have reported on the groundbreaking recent discoveries which
completely confound conventional models of planetary magnetic fields.
In this episode, we asked Dr. Donald Scott to elaborate how a planet's magnetic field
is generated in the electric universe and how this theoretical model can be
scientifically verified.
Earth's magnetic poles have been wandering around
since we've been able to measure their locations, that's a long, long time.
And actually, several years ago I remember there was a scientist in Boston who
worked for a company there that made marine compasses.
And he had a supremely accurate magnetic compass in his lab and
he recorded and made public the daily variation that is to say fluctuations in
the direction of the field at this location in Boston.
And of course, Kristian Birkeland also described these variations as these wobbles in the
magnetic field and he called them magnetic storms and to this day,
that terminology is still used.
So he was well aware of this phenomenon.
But anyway, the report is about the so-called world magnetic model that's abbreviated WMM
and this is an organization that periodically generates a plot of the
magnetic field strength and direction, especially near the Earth's surface at its polar regions.
And the latest update revealed the North Magnetic Pole is
wandering indeed with a velocity of about 34 miles per year and that isn't
very much, it isn't very fast but it's fast enough to,
each year you're going to have a slight micro degree correction in the thing.
So, and apparently according to the report, it crossed the International Dateline in
2017 and it's moving out (toward) from Canada, it's on its way to Siberia.
The South Pole apparently doesn't move that much, South Magnetic Pole anyway.
But I would like to comment on that article because in the article it indicates
that the recent report states that the cause of Earth's magnetic field is, and I
quote, "turbulence in Earth's liquid outer core. There's a hot liquid ocean of iron
and nickel in the planet's core where the motion generates an electric field."
Excuse me, electric field?
OK, I thought that we're talking a magnetic field and now it generates an electric field.
Liquid churning in Earth's core generates most of the
magnetic field, which varies over time as the deep flows change.
Now this is certainly false. Magnetic fields are not caused by turbulent molten liquids,
they're caused by movement of electric charge, that is a word that I don't
believe was incorporated at all in that report.
Charge is something that's beyond the pale for these people, I guess.
Anyhow, I think in this day and age, the level of ignorance about what causes magnetic and
electric fields is at least surprising and in my humble opinion it's discouraging.
I mean, where did these people go to school?
James Clark Maxwell produced his elegantly exact equations
back in the 1800's, and astrophysicists seem unaware of his work even to this day.
There's a recent report about Saturn that they were all amazed that the planet
should have a geomagnetic field because the magnetic axis of that field and the
axis of rotation of the planet were almost exactly aligned.
So what? The axis of the geometric rotation of a planet has nothing to do with its
magnetic field structure.
Anyhow, in my opinion, the level of understanding of
how electric and magnetic fields are generated is as low
as it apparently is based on this just-released article and the video it refers to.
And there is no hope for any model that these WMM people will invent
to be accurate if they have no idea, and
it's obvious they don't have any idea of what the causation of a magnetic field is.
The point is, it's a firmly
established fact that electric fields and magnetic fields are interconnected.
They cause each other, they coexist.
Magnetic fields create currents and currents create magnetic fields.
Yes, time-varying magnetic field that links a loop of wire will indeed cause a current to
flow in the wire but an electric current passing through a winding wrapped around
a metal core constitutes an electromagnet.
There are many thousands
of these things if not millions of electromagnets in use around the world.
That's a true statement that every single magnetic field in the world, in
the cosmos, it has to be caused by electric current, it has to be a current
there to form it.
Then people say well, what about the bar magnet, what about
this horseshoe magnet I've got on my desk here?
Well, even permanent iron bar magnets
that contain so-called remnant magnetism were originally magnetized by electric currents.
So in other words you take an iron bar, wrap a wire around it,
put current through the coil and the core becomes magnetized.
And iron is a so-called ferromagnetic material and there are
other materials other than iron that are ferromagnetic but
that means that it will, if you shut off the excitation, the current excitation,
the bar will remain magnetized and that's called remnant magnetism.
Now, that's not a disproof of what I'm saying.
That means that yes, if you have magnetism,
you once magnetized that either you or some natural force put the
current there that made those those magnets that you mine out of the ground.
But anyhow, it's well known that a large Birkeland current comes from the Sun and
enters both Earth's poles.
So in regard to this, this model, this Birkeland current
is extremely strong and it's fully
capable of creating or at least modifying our geomagnetic field.
It's becoming recognized that planets that have their own geomagnetic field most of
them, in fact probably all of them have Birkeland currents connecting them to the Sun.
Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus, Earth,
but not Mercury and Venus because Mercury and Venus don't have their own
geocentric magnetic field.
So we have to be careful though because we tend to say,
planets need to have a geomagnetic field,
I'd say this all the time, they need to have a geomagnetic field in order to
have a piece of Birkeland current connected to them.
But perhaps with hindsight it's more accurate to say, any
planets that are linked to the Sun by a Birkeland current will have a geomagnetic field.
So which is the cause and which is the effect?
I suspect, although I've been thinking that it's one way, I think it
may well be the other, that the Birkeland current is at least partially
responsible for the creation of the geomagnetic field.
So, the fact that the Birkeland current can and does, as
observed, to vary in flux and strength and location, so, if that's the case then there
is no doubt the geomagnetic field will be affected.
At the gas giant Jupiter, scientists with NASA's Juno mission were
amazed to discover that the planet's tremendous magnetic field is much too
irregular to explain by the conventional model of a dynamo deep within the planet.
But in the electric universe, the planet's magnetic field is directly
linked to the tremendous electric potentials that have now been confirmed.
Scientists studying Jupiter's incredible X-ray Auroras found, "...particle
signatures of parallel electrical fields over the poles of Jupiter that forced
electrons near the poles upward, away from the planet, while protons and other
ions moved downward into the atmosphere.
This massive electric potential--upward of a million electron volts--provides a
possible explanation of where the X-ray auroras get their energy."
We asked Dr. Scott if this is a confirmation that
Jupiter is indeed an electrically charged body.
What goes on at the North Pole of Jupiter, that there are parallel
fields going into the North Pole there and
that causes, and they were sort of amazed by this that electrons were rising and
that the positive ions, that is to say the protons, were going down into the planet.
And I said Gee, one thing is going in and the other thing is
coming out, and my answer is of course, what else would you expect?
The idea of an electric current is, the flow of
charge and positive charge so if you have a bunch, let's say grouping of
protons, that is to say positive charges and they're moving left to right, that
constitutes an electric current directed left to right.
The current is in the direction of the positive charges.
If, in addition to that or even in replacement
of that, you have a bunch of electrons, negative charges, and they're flowing
from right to left, that also is equivalent of a positive
current left to right, in other words the direction of the charge reverses and
it's still positive, that would reverse the current.
But if you reverse the
direction of let's say a flow of positive charges and also reverse the
charge from plus to minus, those two minuses cancel each other out.
So I'll just say it in a condensed form; positive, a flow of positive charges in
one direction is exactly the equivalent of a bunch of negative charges flowing
in exactly the opposite direction.
And so those two phenomena are additive, they don't subtract from each other and
that's exactly what an electric field would form; if you have an electric
field pointed, let's say, from left to right,
you're going to throw a positive charge in there, it's
going to zip off from left to right.
If you have put an electron in there, it's going to go from right to left.
So there's nothing really strange at all about that.
I've been trying to get across a couple of ideas that I think are extremely
important, but they're kind of subtle.
If you know the exact structural shape of an electrical current
you can uniquely determine the magnetic field it will cause to exist.
But just because you know the exact structural shape of a portion of a
magnetic field, you cannot uniquely go back the other
way and determine the detailed structure of the electric current that causes it to exist.
This is the problem Kristian Birkeland had back in the early 1900's.
He knew what the magnetic field looked like up there in the north over the
northern slopes of Norway, but he couldn't figure out what the exact shape
of the current was.
We now know what the shape of those Birkeland
currents look like but that took almost a hundred years before somebody
figured it out.
I submit I had a small hand in doing that but more than one
electric current can produce the same observed magnetic field structure.
Then you say well, Gee, doesn't that undermine what you're saying?
No, no, because what we're really saying is, an electric current must exist somewhere in
the neighborhood of a magnetic field, every magnetic field.
I'll present you a diagram that I captured and inverted from the latest Thunderbolts YouTube video.
It gives an indication of what the geomagnetic field around the Earth looks like.
I put in there that little red circle, looks like where the Earth
should be and the problem people run into is that they see a two-dimensional
diagram of those, especially the Earth’s plasma sphere with these teardrop shapes
going up behind it.
If you realize that those are all three-dimensional objects
you've got to be able to make those two-dimensional objects into
three-dimensional objects and so the best way I think to visualize it is,
it's not exact but it's close enough, a big fat doughnut, a doughnut that's
so fat that it, that the hole has disappeared, that it's all dough, even at
the very thin center and that very thin center where the hole used to be, that's
where the Earth sits.
And so that's a toroidal magnetic field and the
magnetic field structure comes up around, let's say if you're in the equatorial
plane, the magnetic field lines, if you want to think of it that way, are all
going from south to north, they come together over the North Pole,
then dump down into that so lily shaped cusp in that donut at the top.
They go down through the Earth from north to south, so the magnetic
field within the Earth flows from the north to the south and then outside the
Earth, at the surface of the Earth, the magnetic field is flowing from south to north.
So it's, if you realize that the definition of a "North Pole" is
where the magnetic field enters the solid, the theoretical North Pole of
the Earth is really a South Magnetic Pole
which is confusing, I gather, but that's true.
We'll leave you with the thought that it's clear that
whether or not the flow of electric charges within a planet is turbulent or
not turbulent is unimportant.
That's not the way magnetic fields are created, not by turbulent molten liquid there.
Magnetic fields are created by electrical currents, nothing
else, and that's the way it works.
