Not open for further replies.
So what do you think they found?? Bad data?? Experimental error??
Could be, now couldn't it? That is what controls and replications are for, since that time, there have been similar solar falers. Huh?
The Purdue researchers submitted a paper on the solar flare correlations to Physical Review Letters but it was rejected, they say, because there was no mechanism to back it up (they have since uploaded the preprint to arXiv:0808.3156).
I know you wave the word around 'empirical' and 'science' but you don't know what they mean.

Now since that event there have been other similar solar events, so has this effect been replicated?
http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/36108

Well now they have neutrinos. But that shouldnt be the deciding factor for publishing a paper.

I know its not a refed article but its not the first time and I dont expect it to be the last time.
Expectations are data are seperate events.

Russian Discovery Challenges Existence of ‘Absolute Time’

by Jonathan Tennenbaum


|Russian scientists discover unexpected regularities in radioactive decay, linked to astronomical cycles

Two years ago, nearly unnoticed in the West, the Russian biophysicist S.E. Shnoll published a paper in the prominent Russian physics journal Uspekhi Fisicheskikh Nauk1 summing up the results of more than three decades of investigations of anomalous statistical regularities in a wide range of physical, chemical, and biological processes, from radioactive decay to the rates of biochemical reactions.

The evidence points unambiguously to the existence of a previously unknown relationship between fluctuations in the rates of radioactive and other processes in the laboratory, and major astronomical cycles, including the day, month, and year.
And the replication is...
The implication is, that many phenomena which until now have been regarded as purely statistical in character
the control samples are ....
—such as the distribution of fluctuations in the momentary rates of radioactivity measured in a sample
Probability is ....
—are somehow controlled or at least strongly influenced by an astrophysical factor, which varies in time in the same way at all points on the Earth.

YOU HAVE NOT LISTENED TO ANYTHING I HAVE SAID.

Go read up on thermionic emission.

The surface is hot because the electrons are leaving it.

You have that backwards: electrons leave the surface because it's hot.

Just below the surface where the electrons are leaving, it is cold.

Frequently not. In fact, typically the wires use resistive heating in order to generate the thermionic emissions, in which case below the surface will be hotter than the surface.

Think about an over heated cathode in a plasma tube. The cathode starts to loose ions from surface melting yet the whole cathode does not melt.

That's not melting, it's sublimation.

The surface temperature is at the melting point of the metal

No it isn't.

due to thermionic emission

That's not where the heat comes from.

If you could examine this process under a microscope you would see flares and other phenomena that looks like the surface of the sun.

No you wouldn't.

Until you understand this point I cannot explain the rest of my model.

You can't explain your model period, because you don't have anything that even resembles a model.

Thermionic emission can't refrigerate your solid sun. That violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics (which you have never indicated you understand in the slightest), and even if we allow for such a violation, the numbers still don't work out. Not by many orders of magnitude.

This is what you need to read.
Mysteries of the arc cathode spot: A retrospective glance
http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/freeabs_all.jsp?arnumber=1240019

Considering it's behind a pay wall, that's not really possible for most of us. But judging by the abstract, it's mostly about vacuum discharges. And if there's a solid surface on the sun, any discharges from it are sure as hell not in a vacuum. You don't seem to have any clue about what you're linking to.

The other part is that the layer above the surface(above opacity 1) is a thin plasma layer. This generates a plasma emission over the solid surface like a cathode glow.
This layer(the part of the "photosphere" that is <1 opacity in IR) of plasma does not generate enough heat to melt the solid surface below. And what heat comes from it is re radiated as IR.

The IR coming from the sun is coming from something that's ~5700 K. So it can't be coming from your solid surface unless your solid surface is ~5700 K. And if it's not coming from your solid surface but from something above it, then that something is optically opaque to IR, and your solid surface can't lose heat by radiating through an optically opaque layer that's hotter than it. You keep making claims which violate basic thermodynamics.
 
2. the existence of a minimal spectrum (which we identify) of ambipolar electric radiation throughout the cosmos - confirming Reich's notion that there is a minimum of ORgone energy that permeates the entirety of Space.


Seriously, brantc, your going to try invoking Reich and his “ORgone” energy?
 
It is opaque at certain wavelengths. In IR and white light(white light flares) you can see to the surface.

What do you think white light is, brantc? Your statement suggests you think it's a particular wavelength. I wonder what wavelength you think it is.
 
YOU HAVE NOT LISTENED TO ANYTHING THAT I (or other posters) HAVE SAID.
There is no surface for the electrons to leave:

This you do not know. Only your model indicates that this is so.

  1. The measured temperature of the Sun is ~5777 K.

Yes. The black body spectrum of the sun indicates that there is some point that according to Planck's Law the temperature is 5777K.
This measurement is a whole disc measurement.

  • The melting point of iron is 1811 K.
  • No place on the Sun has a measured temperature less than the melting point of iron.
  • Thus there can be no solid iron surface on the Sun.

Take a flat iron surface. Strike a series of arcs that take up about half of the iron surface. The arcs are glowing. The WHOLE surface is not melting, only spots, as a matter of fact some of the surface is cold compared to the arcs.

Now measure the temperature of this iron surface from a distance using a spectrometer. What do you think the temperature is??

Its an average between the cold iron surface and the hot arc spots.

The spectrum would appear to be hotter than the melting point of iron but we know thats not the case.

Do you understand this point???
 
Seriously, brantc, your going to try invoking Reich and his “ORgone” energy?

It doesnt matter what you want to call it its still the basic energy of the universe. Again nobody has explained why there is a sidereal signal in data. Why are laser gyros locked to the stars on sidereal time??
i.e. Why do the fringes move in response to a frame of reference that is not the earth, and IS the stars?

It was orginally discovered by Karl Reichenbach (Freiherr von), probably someone noticed it before that but Karl wrote down the most complete description. Reich came after Karl. Tesla knew about Von Richenbach's work as well. Crooke (of x-ray tube fame) also was investigating the dark space in connection with this energy. The latest in a long line of research into this energy is Aetherometry.

So think of the sun as an geometric antenna receiving aether and the energy is coming out as electrons. Just like a regular antenna converts photons to electric current.

"Luminous World" Baron Karl von Reichenbach
One chapter in forgotten science history introduces one of the greatest researchers of all time, whose investigation of basic life-related energies stands paramount in the history of qualitative science. His name forgotten and ignored by modernists, the life and work of Baron Karl von Reichenbach stands as a monument. He is a true scientific legend, a giant, a reminder that the world is more marvelous than we are led to believe by those who misalign our perceptions and misdirect our views. It is for this reason that I have chosen to begin the LOST SCIENCE series with his biography.

That is obvious - the whole disk of the Sun is measured to have a temperature of ~5777 K.
However sunspots are measured to have a tempertaure of 3000 K. Guess what, brantc - still higher than the melting point of iron.

Take a flat iron surface. Strike a series of arcs that take up about half of the iron surface. The arcs are glowing. The WHOLE surface is not melting, only spots, as a matter of fact some of the surface is cold compared to the arcs.

Do you understand this point???
The spectrum would appear to be hotter than the melting point of iron and the iron surface would melt (in fact boil).

The first point that you do not understand is that light goes in all directions. Your arcs are shining on the iron surface. Whatever light we detect is also being absorbed to some extent by your WHOLE iron surface. That surface melts.

The second point you do not understand is that there is a little thing called time. At the start the WHOLE surface of your hypothetical iron surface is not boiling - just areas. Tat destroys the suraface in that area and other areas start to boil. Over time all areas on the surface boil and there is no more surface!
Basically what your arcs are doing is destroying your surface.

The third point that you do not understand is that no point on the Sun has a measured temperature less than the melting point of iron.

But I may be wrong. I am sure that you can scte hundreds of papers measuring areas the surface of Sun being less than 1811 K. So

Oh my, now Karl, Baron von Reichenbach is cited (for whatever reason) as a serious source for the electric iron sun? Mesmerizing I must say.
von Richenbach is quoted in support of the discovery of the aether, which took place over many years and was the result of the work of many scientists.


Well, then time to repeat my request:
Now, please start describing your "electric sun" model in full detail, which was the main question in that post.

1. How is the sun powered in this electrical model

The spherical iron sun acts like an antenna transforming aether into electricity similar to a photon receiving antenna. when you examine this idea in the context of Aetherometrys conceptualization of the photon, its really photons


"Basic differences between the conventional and aetherometric conceptions of the photon

1. On the nature of photons
1.1. Currently, it is held that solar radiation consists of photons. Implied in this is the notion that photons travel through space, like fibers of light, with analogy to ballistic models for the projection of material particles - as if the photons were hurled across space.

It is the view of aetherometric theory that solar radiation does not consist of photons, but of the massfree electrical charges that compose the scalar electrical field [http://aetherometry.com/abs-AS2v2B.html#abstractAS2-17A]. Moreover, it is also the view of aetherometric theory that photons are 'punctual' and local productions, that they do not travel through space but rather occupy a globular space where they are created and extinguished.

1.2. If photons do not travel through space, what is it that travels through space and is the cause of the transmission of the light stimulus, and ultimately of any local production of photons?

Aetherometry contends that what travels through space and transmits the light impulse is electrical radiation composed of massfree charges and their associated longitudinal waves (the true phase waves), not electromagnetic radiation composed of photons and their transverse waves. The wave transmission of all electromagnetic signals depends on the transmission of nonelectromagnetic energy, specifically the transmission of electric massfree charges (the propagation of Òthe fieldÓ). "


2. How is the current driven that you need to sustain the solar output

How is current driven in a radio receiver? Basically you amplify the existing current that shows up on the antenna. It is a resonance phenomena.
At this level the leakage current is great enough to sustain the glow mode operation of the sun.

3. What is the current loop, i.e. how does it close on itself

As long as the surrounding area is at a lower potential than the sun current will flow out of the sun into space.
Its possible that electrons disintegrate back into aether or that space is expanding requiring more electrons.

4. What is the magnetic field generated by this current driving the sun
High voltage doesnt appear to generate much of a magnetic field where as high current does.

5. Is this magnetic field compatible with the magnetic field measured e.g. near the Earth
6. How come that Ulysses did not measure any such currents while passing over the poles (if you want to use Alfvén's heliospheric current system) (and the same question goes to Mozina)
There is no doubt that there are polar plumes and electron beam that emit x-rays. This means high voltage.

7. How you do mean that your electrons come from the Aether, and what properties does the Aether have

Please come up with an answer to these questions. You may even PM Michael Mozina to help you finish this "intriguing" model.

If you are asking what is the exact physical process that makes electrons out of aether, I dont know exactly. It probably the same problem the Arp and Narlikar were working on. It could be from a pinch process as outlined here

"AS2-17C The cosmic background microwave radiation as evidence
for cosmological creation of electrons with minimum kinetic energy
and for a minimum of cosmic ambipolar massfree energy"


Correa PN, Correa AN
Exp Aetherom, Series 2, Vol. 2B, 17C:1-61 (April 2002)

"Lastly, a prediction of radio CBR blackbodies issued from cosmological protons and other hadrons in resonance with the identified spectrum of cosmological ORgone energy is presented, together with a model of how it might account for observed anisotropies of the microwave CBR spectrum. There are thus three distinct cosmological spectra: an ambipolar Cosmic Background Orgone Radiation spectrum, the CBOR, and the derived photon spectra - a lepton-based microwave Cosmic Background Radiation blackbody (mCBR) and a predicted hadron-based radio Cosmic Background Radiation blackbody (rCBR). We claim identification of both the CBOR and the rCBR spectra, as well as of their physics.

The conclusions from this aetherometric investigation can be summarized as follows. The microwave CBR spectrum composed exclusively of LFOT photons constitutes proof of:

1. the cosmological creation of electrons, with attendant gravitons, and having discrete minima of kinetic energy, with a main mode at 4 -2

2. the existence of a minimal spectrum (which we identify) of ambipolar electric radiation throughout the cosmos - confirming Reich's notion that there is a minimum of ORgone energy that permeates the entirety of Space.

3. the existence of a physical process that converts free, nonelectric, nonelectromagnetic, nongravitic, 'latent thermal' or 'antigravitic' massfree energy into ORgone energy, or ambipolar electric radiation and, in the process, also converts other elements of the free nonelectric Aether into mass-energy (and thus monopolar electricity) and into gravitational energy.

Armed with these findings, we are bound to conclude that the CBR does not present any direct or indirect evidence that permits its interpretation as a fossil radiation, or its being construed as proof for an originary hadronic era of the universe. On the contrary, the CBR constitutes instead effective evidence for the continued cosmological generation or ongoing production of leptons, and the very eternity of the cosmos."

What do you think white light is, brantc? Your statement suggests you think it's a particular wavelength. I wonder what wavelength you think it is.

Why do you ask such a silly question?

It seems that if the source is bright enough, you can see it at almost all wavelengths due to the thinness of the glow layer above the surface.

We have examples of white light flares, IR and some UV being stopped at/taking place at the same level under the visible surface of the glow layer ("photosphere").

So it depends on the intensity of the source. It seems as though IR will penetrate with a lower intensity.

You tell me (a hint - it is not the Sun, there is not roughly black body spectrum).

This does not change the facts for the surface of the Sun:
  1. The measured temperature of the whole Sun is ~5777 K.
  2. No place on the Sun has a measured temperature less than the melting point of iron.
  3. The melting point of iron is 1811 K.
  4. Thus there can be no solid iron surface on the Sun.
You have the idea that the Sun's temperature is only measured as an average. That is wrong, e.g. the temperature of sunspots are also measured to be greater than the melting point of iron.
And then you come up with a very misunderstod bit of physics - arcs melting points in an iron plate. Your mistakes were
  • Your arcs are shining on the iron surface. Whatever light we detect is also being absorbed to some extent by your WHOLE iron surface. That surface melts.
  • At the start the WHOLE surface of your hypothetical iron surface is not boiling - just areas. That destroys the suraface in that area and other areas start to boil. Over time all areas on the surface boil and there is no more surface!
    Basically what your arcs are doing is destroying your surface.
  • The third point that you do not understand is that no point on the Sun has a measured temperature less than the melting point of iron..
You ignored the question wrt that last point so I will ask it again

Published, where and when?
Results replicated, when?

Siderial period of fringe effects used by GPS how?

Alleged attribution of aether, where in the paper?
 
The one thing that I personally, even after reading this thread for a while, am still totally unclear about is:
What exactly will your new model prove?

After all, new models are generally only needed to explain phenomena that are utterly unexplicable.
The sun behaves as near exactly as physics can predict given that it is the hydrogen fusion reaction currently postulated, and solving how this worked has given us hydrogen fusion reactions on earth, so they CAN occur at the expected pressures.

Now, IF your personal model turns out to be right, what exactly will it solve?
You claim aether a lot, do you have experimental evidence to prove it exists?
Does your theory in any way predict other properties of matter and light that are currently unexplained?
Will your aether particles show up as unknowns in the LHC experiments? In which case predicting the correct ones will go a long way in proving your hypothesis.
Why does the sun contain a hollow iron shell that does not collapse in gravity, but not the gas giants?
If the shell in the gas giants collapsed, why do gravimetric measurements not show at least the required mass present in the planet?
If the gravimetric measurements are wrong, then in your model gravity must obviously behave differently, yet we can launch sattelites into pinpoint orbit using the current model. Why is there a discrepancy and how is it solved?

After all, your model requireres a full re-writing of most of the laws of physics, so it should easily be possible to do experiments to prove your model superior without actually having to go to the sun.
 
There are a couple of interesting features about this physically impossible idea from brantc.
Taking the second first is an inability to back up the "aether battery" part of his idea except by citing crancks such as the Aetherometry web site and the Orgone theory which just pseudoscience.
Basically this is brantc saying that the aether does anything that he wants.

What is interesting about this idea is not just that it fails the first hurdle but that it fails in so many ways. The first hurdle is
The Sun is measured to be hotter than the melting point of iron at every point on its surface. This has been pointed out to brantc since the start of the post. He has continued to be unable to grasp the simple physics here.
Some of the other hurdles depend on brantc having more than just an idea that Sun has the above impossible solid iron surface. From his other posts it looks like his solar "model" is a vaccuum filled solid iron sphere with some sort of covering layer.
Here are some other things wrong with the idea:
  • The number and type of neutrinos detected from the Sun have to be emitted from fusion (not a unsupported aether thingy that does only what brantc wants).
    The fusion would in addition emit gamma rays that are not detected. That places the fusion at the center of the Sun where gamma rays can be absorbed and reamitted as othe rlight on their way to the photosphere.
    The end result is a very hot core (13,000,000 K) and a Sun that is hotter than ~5700 K all the way to the photosphere.
  • Helioseismology rules out a solid iron surface.
    See the Global Oscillation Network Group for some of the science.
  • A solid iron surface would be detected in all images of the photosphere.
    I suspect what brantc really means is either an solid surface of unknown invisble iron (:)) or a layer inside the Sun. The latter is even worse for his idea because the Sun is measured to get hotter with depth.
  • Limb darkening shows no sign of a solid surface.
  • Sunspots float thorugh this "solid" iron surface. They are also though to be depressions within the photosphere with a maximum depth of ~1000 km (the Wilson effect).
  • Granules are the tops of convection cells seen in the photosphere. They are about 1000 km in diameter. They have lifetimes of 8 - 20 minutes. This is not the pehaviour of solid iron.
  • Supergranulation could also be evidence of even larger convection scales.
  • The magnetic field of the Sun does not match that of a solid iron surface.
    FYI brantc, it swaps polarity every ~11 years, develops multiple poles, etc.
  • The Sun rotates at different velocities at different latitudes (solar rotation). Helioseismology allows us to measure this to a depth of about half the solar radis.
  • There is the question of the stability of the physically impossible solid iron sphere. If it was a perfect sphere that was empty that would not be a problem. But the Sun is not a perfect sphere - it has "an oblateness estimated at about 9 millionths".
  • Where do the elements heavier than lithium come from in the amounts that we observe?
    brantc's debunked idea does not allow enough fusion to create even the iron in his surface!
  • brantc has no idea how this solid iron surface forms.
  • The remnants of supernovae have a composition similar to that of the interstellar meduim. Where did the iron vanish to?
 
Two more questions/suggestions for Brantc, if the mods will indulge me.

Regarding the iron sphere. Wether or not it exists in the sun is up to debate, but a hollow iron sphere the size of the sun, with a mass of even part of the sun, would according to current physics collapse.
Therefore, according to brantc's model either the tensile strength of iron, the effect of gravity on iron or both should be totally different. If this is true, iron should be able to handle far greater stresses than we currently attribute to it. This is easily testable and if brantc's model holds out, would allow us to build buildings that are stronger with less steel. A benefit to all mankind, which would give immediate recognition, fame and if played well, riches.

secondly, if the sun contains so much iron, it will not contain enough hydrogen for fusion. Yet the sun's power output is immense. If we can recreate the, according to brantc, wrong mechanism, then surely it should be easy to recreate the correct mechanism and gain access to an energy source that's possibly better controllable than fusion.

I would personally suggest you focus on proving/reproducing these two facts rather than spend time on semantics about optical depth or pixel strain at pictures of the sun.
Once you've proven and reproduced these two rather trivial details you would have a much more solid theoretical and financial basis to prove the iron sphere in the sun bit.

Can you elaborate on the connection to GPS? If it's related to the ring laser gyros (which it seemed to be), I'm not sure that any GPS spacecraft has RLGs and I'm sure that many don't.
