Welcome to Space News from the Electric Universe,
brought to you by The Thunderbolts Project™

On this series, we reported on the increasing frequency
with which astrophysical literature acknowledge a fact
which was long verboten in the space sciences.
The existence of electric currents that flow through the so-called vacuum of space.
At the vastest cosmic scales, many astrophysicists now recognize the
"fundamentally electromagnetic structure" of the stupendous jets
hundreds of thousands of light years long emanating from active galactic nuclei.
At a much smaller scale, in our own neighborhood in the solar system,
electric current systems are known to link the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn
with their respective moons.
And on our own planet, in recent years with improved technology
has come ever finer evidence of tremendous electric currents
that are connected to previously unknown phenomena.
In 2017, we reported on the discovery of so-called supersonic plasma jets
high in the Earth's atmosphere
which reach temperatures approaching 10,000 degrees Celsius.
A Phys.org report described the surprising discovery as follows,
"The theory that there are huge electric currents,
powered by solar wind and guided through the ionosphere by Earth's magnetic field,
was postulated more than a century ago by Norwegian scientist Kristian Birkeland...
While much is known about these current systems,
recent observations...have revealed that they are associated with large electrical fields."
Nevertheless, antiquated notions of charge neutrality
and disconnected bodies in empty space continue to dominate the space sciences.
In this episode, our guest Richard Moore explores the role of electric currents
called Birkeland currents throughout our electric solar system.
We're on the verge of a paradigm shift in cosmology
and it's being pursued by the scientists
that are putting together something called the Electric Universe model.
And it's really rather unique kind of collaboration going on,
kind of ironic collaboration,
where the EU scientists are pursuing the theory
and doing experiments that can be done in the laboratory.
And then meanwhile, the mainstream cosmologists
who completely dismiss the model or even ignore it entirely,
ironically they are helping develop the EU model with all of their space probes
because every single space probe
is, turns out to be confirming, verifying the EU model
and even though that's happening
the mainstream still doesn't recognize what they're doing.
So it's a very interesting kind of ironic collaboration between pioneers on the one hand
and the mainstream people who don't realize quite what's going on.
So it all started, I think, with Kristian Birkeland way back in 1908.
Combination of experiments and going out and observing the Aurora,
he came up with the theory
that the Auroras are caused by the electric current from the Sun.
This was completely rejected by the mainstream cosmologists
primarily by a man named Sidney Chapman who really dismissed and attacked the whole idea
because the mainstream people didn't believe that currents can flow through
what they thought was empty space.
But then, in 2007, just about a century later,
the THEMIS satellites found evidence of what they called magnetic ropes
connecting the Earth's upper atmosphere directly to the Sun.
In other words, they were confirming Kristian Birkeland's original theory.
So what they did, they described it as thirty kilovolt battery in the space
creating flux rope pumps into the upper atmosphere.
Even though it was confirming Birkeland's theories,
they didn't really quite see it as currents, they saw it as magnetic ropes.
Now, the reason that the current comes in at the poles
is because of the Earth's magnetic field.
As the current comes out from the Sun,
it's focused in by the magnetic field into the poles.
These currents that come from the Sun to the Earth,
the mainstream calls that the solar wind
as if it was something blown away from the Sun by kinetic forces.
They aren't really recognizing that it's an electrical gradient
which is causing the current to flow out to the Earth and other planets.
So now let's take a look at the structure of the Birkeland current.
As a current flows through plasma, it creates its own magnetic field
which contains itself, forces it to be focused into these rope-like currents.
And in 2016, one of these space probes found
that these rope-like currents go into Saturn.
So it's showing that the currents go all the way through the solar system
reaching even the outer planets, just as they do with the Earth.
So again, mainstream cosmologists ignorant of the properties of Birkeland currents
attribute this rope shape to an imaginary thing they call magnetic reconnection.
In fact, in this image we can see that there's a gradient
with the Sun being more positive and the outer shell of the heliosphere more negative
so that there's this gradient that forces electrons toward the Sun
and positive ions away from the Sun.
So what they call a wind is actually an electrical gradient
which is what causes these currents to come out from the Sun.
And then, another probe, we can see in this NASA study,
they found that there's a flow of electrical energy
that goes by every moon, every planet, every asteroid and comet,
are all influenced in one way or another by these currents
which the mainstream continues to call - a wind.
Now, let's look a little closer at what a Birkeland current is like.
Each one of the strands of the rope,
as we can see in this image and looking at a cross-section,
it's made of concentric cylinders of current that rotate in alternate directions
and we can actually, again, with the help of mainstream probes,
we can see this counter rotation,
we can see it happening in the Aurora on the Earth.
And then we can also see it in the poles of Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune.
Clearly, these are all caused by the same phenomenon,
these counter-rotating Birkeland currents.
Now, in the case of a planet like Mars,
where they don't have a strong magnetic field,
in this image we can see that the aurora can happen over the entire surface of the planet.
Since it's not focused into the poles,
the current can come in toward the planet itself
and we can see an aurora over the entire surface.
Similarly, on Mars, because there's not a magnetic field to constrain the currents to the poles,
we can have streams of currents coming right down to the surface
and creating huge tornadoes,
electrical tornadoes that are many, many times the size of any that occur on earth.
Now, let's move on now to the effect on comets.
A comet is moving rapidly, you know, it has a very exagerated eliptical orbit,
so that it's coming rapidly from the negatively charged part of the solar system
toward the more positively charged part.
And that causes the comet to discharge
creating a tail that points in the direction of the electrical field.
According to the EU model then,
the only difference between an asteroid and a comet is the orbit.
It's not that there's any difference in what they're made of,
it's just because a comet has an exaggerated orbit and it discharges
whereas the asteroids, which are comparatively circular in their orbit,
they don't discharge.
So, the mainstream has this theory that comets are dusty snowballs
and they say the tail is due to the sublimation of water.
However, when space probes have actually reached a comet,
as we can see in this image, they can see they're just rocky bodies, like asteroids.
They're not at all dirty snowballs.
So, once again, the mainstream is confirming and verifying with their probes
what the Electric Universe has said all along.
As Arthur Schopenhauer said,
"All truth passes through three stages.
First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed
and then third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
Now, where we are right now is that the EU model is being ridiculed and ignored.
It hasn't quite been violently opposed yet because
it hasn't been acknowledged enough in the mainstream to even be seen as a threat
but we can see by the trends that are happening with these discoveries
that can't go on much longer.
