Welcome to Space News from The Electric
Universe, brought to you by The Thunderbolts Project at Thunderbolts.info.
In Part One of this presentation phycicist Wal Thornhill began laying the
foundations for a new theoretical understanding of our sun and all stars.
Standard theory remains that stars are born due to the gravitational collapse
of material in nebular clouds over vast spans of time. We're told that stars die
when they inevitably exhaust their fuel, or simply explode. But for many years
countless discoveries have contradicted these fundamental concepts. In this
episode Thornhill further explores the Electric Universe predictions and
explanations for a variety of stellar phenomena. So, let's return to the
declaration of our esteemed internet lecturer that our sun was born about 5
billion years ago. There is no evidence whatsoever for this categorical
statement. With the thermonuclear model discredited by the observational
evidence, the complex life story of stars is exposed as fiction. Two recent reports
support this judgment, out of a countless number of others, expressing surprise at
unexpected discoveries. On March 6, (2017) phys.org headlined a report, “Star
clusters discovery could upset the astronomical applecart.” It begins, “The
discovery of young stars in old clusters could send scientists back to the drawing
board.” Because models of stellar evolution are based on the assumption
that stars within star clusters formed from the same material at roughly the
same time. However “back to the drawing board” always means embroidering the set
of beliefs permanently inscribed on the board. No physicist shows the
intellectual integrity to wipe the board clean of its own scientific Big Bang
myth and start afresh; it's all too hard and scary. So, Dr. Kenji Bekky from the
International Center for Radio Astronomy Research says, “The formation of these
younger stars could have been fueled by gas entering the clusters from
interstellar space.” However, observations showed “that there was no correlation
between interstellar hydrogen gas and the location of the clusters we were
studying.” “We believe the younger stars have actually been created out of the
matter ejected from older stars as they die, which means we have discovered
multiple generations of stars belonging to the same cluster.” The words “We believe”
are accurate; the discovery of multiple generations of stars is not. The notion
of the age of a star is based on plotting a point on the
Hertzsprung-Russell diagram where the star leaves the main sequence after the
exhaustion of its main fuel. But we have shown that stars do not exhaust their
fuel any more than an electric light does. Stars don't die because their fuel
runs out, or mysteriously explodes. The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is simply a
plot of points, and not an evolutionary sequence. Stars have been observed to
change swiftly and inexplicably from one location to another on the diagram. When
viewed correctly as a mirror image, the diagram represents the change in color
and brightness of a star as the electrical energy focused on it,
increases along the x-axis. Sharp discontinuities exist in experimental
gas discharges between dark mode, glow mode and arc mode. These discontinuities
simply explain the sharply different appearances of faint white dwarfs, bright
sun-like stars and red, so-called dwarfs, and red giant stars. The red color is due
to an extensive anode glow and the faint white color is simply a coronal glow of
a normally constituted stellar body lacking a bright arc mode photosphere. No
imaginary ultra-dense dwarf object is required. There is no need to invent an
ad hoc requirement for stars to have exploded and then somehow gather their
widely scattering dust gravitationally to give birth to younger stars in the
cluster. Stellar explosions are often invoked to clear dust and gas from star
clusters. Astronomers can't have it both ways, but
critically, none of this complicated ”ad-hoc-ary” fits the observations of
filamentary star birth inside molecular clouds. The second report appeared on May 18,
last year in phys.org, titled, “Stellar mystery deepens.” A Monash University-led
research team made an unexpected discovery that a large group of stars
are dying prematurely, challenging our accepted view of stellar evolution. Their
results revealed that large numbers of helium burning stars are dying
prematurely in the M4 globular cluster. Professor Lattanzio from the Max Planck
Institute for Astrophysics said, Globular clusters are some of the oldest objects
in the Universe. Although we have some ideas for what is going on in them, every
time we look carefully we find something unexpected. They are both
fascinating and frustrating at the same time.” The international team found that
about half of the stars tend to skip the red giant phase, instead becoming white
dwarfs, millions of years ahead of schedule, demonstrating once again what's
wrong with the modern scientific method characterized as shut up and simulate.
Professor Lattanzio continued: “Computer simulations do not agree with this
observation; so as well as continuing observations, new computer models will
need to be generated to better understand what is taking place in the
cores of these stars.” But the computer models are built on missing or invalid
concepts: there's nothing going on in the cores of stars, and globular clusters are
not understood. So, the mathematical computer simulations produce a virtual,
unreal cosmos that, like the movies, can be programmed to produce anything you
can imagine and the artist's impressions we see in science reports are little
more than glossy advertising material, but much more deceptive, because it is
falsely labeled ‘real science’. There is no real mystery here. With no nuclear fire
inside, stars don't die by bloating to a red giant and collapsing to a white
dwarf as their fire goes out. The life and death stories of stars are
fictional: the bloated appearance of red giants is not due to internal pressure
caused by hypothetical helium burning at 100 million degrees in the core of a
star. It is a purely electrical effect, witnessed in laboratory low pressure gas
discharge tubes. Red stars are those that satisfy their need for electrons from
the surrounding plasma by expanding the surface area over which they collect
electrons, by growing a large plasma sheath that becomes the effective anode
in space. The growth process is self-limiting, because as the sheath
expands, its electric field grows stronger. Electrons caught up in the
field are accelerated until they become energetic enough to excite neutral
particles they chance to collide with and the huge sheath becomes a uniform
red anode glow: it becomes a red giant star. The electric field driving this
process will also give rise to a massive flow of positive ions away from the star,
or in more conventional terms, a prodigious stellar wind. Such loss of
matter is the characteristic feature of red giants; standard stellar theory is
at a loss to explain this, since the star is said to be too cold to boil off
a stellar wind. Arthur Eddington himself expressed his puzzlement about white
dwarfs, “Strange objects, which persist in showing a type of spectrum entirely out
of keeping with their luminosity, may ultimately teach us more than a host
which radiates according to rule.” He was right: a white dwarf appears extremely
hot, white and under-luminous because it is a faint, white coronal discharge. As
usual, a thin plasma sheath will be formed between the plasma of the star
and the plasma of space. The electric field across the plasma sheath is
capable of accelerating electrons to generate ultraviolet light and X-rays
when they hit atoms in the atmosphere, and the power dissipated is capable of
raising the temperature of a thin plasma layer to tens of thousands of degrees.
The spectral lines are broadened, sometimes to the point of disappearance,
due to the coronal electric field. This gives the misleading impression that
hydrogen, whose spectral lines are smeared the most, is
missing in many of these stars and that therefore, they are remnants of larger
stars that have conventionally lost or burned their hydrogen fuel. So, globular
clusters are not some of the oldest objects in the universe. Their
spherical shape of a dense collection of stars, and their elliptical orbits about
the galactic center, hint at a quasar style birth process from the plasmoid at
the heart of the galaxy. If so, the electromagnetic environment inside the
globular cluster is different to that in open clusters of stars. So we should
expect an unusual distribution of white dwarfs and red giant stars and the
puzzling observation that some globular cluster stars have 100 times more iron
than others, could also be explained by electromagnetic sorting of elements
within the globular cluster at its birth. The fact we don't understand stars in
the 21st century, highlights what Arthur Koestler wrote in The sleepwalkers, “The
history of cosmic theories, in particular, may without exaggeration be called a
history of collective obsessions and controlled schizophrenia; and the manner
in which some of the most important individual discoveries were arrived at
reminds one more of a sleepwalker’s performance than an electronic brain’s.”
Science is still in its childhood and we behave as infants. We give far too much
credit to scientists for knowing what they are talking about.
