Galaxies created from galactic-scale field-aligned Birkeland currents
In contrast, there is a coherent theory of how galaxies are created in the Electric Plasma Universe, thanks largely to American plasma and nuclear physicist Anthony Peratt at Los Alamos National Laboratory Santa Fe in New Mexico, who carried out laboratory experiments and computer simulations beginning in the late 1980s [4, 5]. By then, field-aligned filamentary Birkeland currents (see [6] Electric Plasma Universe Arrives, SiS 68) have been found everywhere in space, from Earth’s aurora, to coronal ‘streamers in the Sun, ‘flux ropes’ in the ionosphere of Venus, in interstellar medium and interstellar clouds, and
in astrophysical jets shooting out from double radio galaxies. These same filamentary structures are observed in energetic plasmas in the laboratory, where fine-detail resolution of current filaments shows similar vortex patterns at least over 14 orders of magnitude, from microampere to mega amperes electron beams [4]. The basic properties of plasmas are self-similar and scalable, from microns to cosmic distances (1028 cm), i.e., fractal, although Peratt himself did not use the term.
