INTRODUCTION</p>
|
|
<p>It has long been believed that gravity is the fundamental cause of
|
|
solar radiation.
|
|
The presently popular Hydrogen/Fusion Core theory rests on the
|
|
assumption that the mutual gravitational attraction of the Sun's
|
|
individual atoms override all other acting forces, thereby causing the
|
|
<span class="LOC">Sun</span>s mass to contract. This in turn creates the internal pressures
|
|
which inaugurate nuclear fusion within the Sun's core.
|
|
This scenario appears to be reasonably logical at a glance, but when
|
|
viewed in the sharp light of observational evidence, it becomes
|
|
glaringly obvious that the reasoning upon which the Hydrogen/Fusion
|
|
Core theory rests is unsound and quite erroneous.
|
|
Despite the fact that virtually every major solar observation is at
|
|
odds with this popular solar model, physicists continue to subscribe
|
|
to it because there does not seem to be a logical alternative.
|
|
The wound caused by this dilemma is deep and there for all to see; the
|
|
ability to control a sustained fusion reaction continues to elude
|
|
researchers, chiefly because of the alchemic approach with which they
|
|
attempt to apply their craft.
|
|
The reason for this sad state of affairs is simple: Fusion research is
|
|
so costly that in their eagerness to magnetically cage the fusion
|
|
reaction, scientists forgo the necessary research needed to understand
|
|
what goes on in the fusion process.
|
|
It is not unlike a blind man attempting to restrain a beast he cannot
|
|
see; the blind man builds traps and cages without understanding the
|
|
nature of the beast.
|
|
Such an attempt must surely end in failure.
|
|
PLASMA is the name of the beast that we must strive to understand; it
|
|
is a super hot gas of disassociated electrons and protons. When
|
|
united within a common magnetic field it is capable of performing
|
|
incredible configurations.
|
|
Its nature is so different from solid, liquid or gas states, that it
|
|
has been designated a state of matter in its own right: a plasma, the
|
|
fourth state of matter.
|
|
Faced with such an awesome discovery, it would seem reasonable to
|
|
assume nothing is as we expected it to be. In the light of this newly
|
|
discovered state of matter, we should proceed as if perceiving the
|
|
universe for the first time. NONE of the four known forces in the
|
|
universe ( the Strong, Weak, Electromagnetic and gravitational,) nor
|
|
their interactions with the known states of matter - may be taken for
|
|
granted when we know there is a new player on the field.
|
|
When the dynamic state of the plasma was realized, solar physicists
|
|
seem to have been reluctant to consider the <span class="LOC">Sun</span> anew; the
|
|
intermittently arriving new knowledge of plasma states continue to be
|
|
ignored or hastily incorporated into a solar theory already beset
|
|
with unreconcilable contradictions, resulting in a hodge-podge of
|
|
discontinuous conjectures.
|
|
The focal point of this current dilemma lies in the fact that our
|
|
science community suffers from an unshakable faith in the
|
|
inviolableness of mass/gravity. It is taken for granted that the
|
|
gravitational force is dependent on the quantity of matter present.
|
|
This is an unproven conjecture - an act of faith.
|
|
Such an attitude has for too many years confined potentially creative
|
|
ideas within constrictions which in reality do not exist. I believe
|
|
strongly that such unbending dogma does not belong in the quest for
|
|
truth, because it has no relation to the objective universe.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A SOLAR SHELL</p>
|
|
<p>Our <span class="LOC">Sun</span> is empty; its mass is distributed in a shell about an
|
|
"Absolute vacuum."
|
|
As I shall demonstrate, an Absolute vacuum induces gravity; it is a
|
|
rift upon which mass/energy space gravitationally implodes. This
|
|
implosion continuously heats the Sun's plasma which in turn maintains
|
|
the Sun's Absolute vacuum. I call this the Gravity/Vacuum Cycle, or
|
|
the GRAVAC Cycle.
|
|
The electromagnetic potential of a given quantity of mass in a plasma
|
|
state is 1 X 10 to the 40th times stronger(1) than its gravitational
|
|
potential. Because of this, the <span class="LOC">Sun</span> can radiate by the interlocking of
|
|
an induced gravitational force that is brought about by the
|
|
electromagnetic force.
|
|
This comes about because the Sun's plasma is magnetically polarized,
|
|
repelling electrons from electrons and protons from protons. By this
|
|
process the mass of the <span class="LOC">Sun</span> is magnetically repulsed and flies apart
|
|
creating an Absolute Vacuum. In turn, this Absolute Vacuum induces
|
|
gravity. The induced gravity restrains the Sun's plasma from further
|
|
outward expansion, and it is the struggle between the inhibiting
|
|
induced gravity and the repulsive magnetic properties of the plasma
|
|
which cause the solar shell to radiate.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
PROOF</p>
|
|
<p>For this solar model to work, it requires that absolutely no mass, nor
|
|
radiation can travel through an Absolute vacuum. Therefore, the
|
|
experimental evidence of this solar model rests on the following
|
|
proof:</p>
|
|
<p>*It can be demonstrated that neutrinos cannot pass through the <span class="LOC">Sun</span>*</p>
|
|
<p>Small subatomic particles called neutrinos emanate from stars.(2) To
|
|
an observer on Earth, each star has its own neutrino fingerprint,
|
|
which can be determined by the angle of neutrino approach and the
|
|
different neutrino energy levels that individual stars produce.
|
|
Because neutrinos are so small and have no charge, most are able to
|
|
pass through the Earth without hitting anything. Astrophysicists
|
|
believe that a flow of neutrinos would pass through the <span class="LOC">Sun</span> without
|
|
the majority of the neutrinos being stopped by collisions.(3)
|
|
But is this so?
|
|
Imagine that you are observing neutrinos emanating from an energetic
|
|
star which is about to be eclipsed by the <span class="LOC">Sun</span>. When the star is
|
|
eclipsed, present logic would dictate that neutrinos from the eclipsed
|
|
star would pass through the <span class="LOC">Sun</span>.
|
|
I propose that they will not.
|
|
It is my prediction that the neutrino flow from the star will stop at
|
|
the moment of occultation ( when the star passes behind the sun.) The
|
|
reason for this is because the Sun's interior is not a ball of mass in
|
|
conventional space, as it is presently believed;(4) on the contrary,
|
|
it is an Absolute vacuum through which nothing passes.</p>
|
|
<p>Of course, it is not so easy to look for neutrinos passing through the
|
|
<span class="LOC">Sun</span>. An actual experiment would be more complicated, but could
|
|
probably be performed along these lines:</p>
|
|
<p>Due to the fact that neutrino collisions are scarce, one has to rely
|
|
on a record compiled through time in order to get an accurate
|
|
determination. You will need a computer and as extensive a compilation
|
|
of recorded data of neutrino collisions as possible. The greater span
|
|
of time the records cover, the more accurate the result.
|
|
Take the orbit of the <span class="LOC">Sun</span> ( as seen from Earth,) and break it down
|
|
into 365 windows or 'sectors' on the plane of the ecliptic, one for
|
|
each day of a year. The <span class="LOC">Sun</span> will pass through all 365 sectors in one
|
|
year, spending 24 hours in each sector.
|
|
Design a program for the computer so that it will list all the
|
|
neutrinos with an angle of approach that comes within the band divided
|
|
into 365 sectors.
|
|
Eliminate all neutrinos from your data that show energy levels
|
|
consistent with those of our <span class="LOC">Sun</span>.
|
|
Now compile the sectors that the <span class="LOC">Sun</span> was in each day. Compare them to
|
|
the 364 other sectors that the <span class="LOC">Sun</span> was not in.</p>
|
|
<p>If present theories on stellar physics are correct, then neutrinos
|
|
from stellar and galactic sources should flow unimpaired through the
|
|
<span class="LOC">Sun</span>, and there will be NO DISCERNIBLE QUANTITATIVE DIFFERENCE between
|
|
the <span class="LOC">Sun</span> sectors and the 364 other sectors that the <span class="LOC">Sun</span> was not in.</p>
|
|
<p>This will not be so.</p>
|
|
<p>I predict that the data will exhibit a CONSISTENT DECREASE of
|
|
interstellar and intergalactic neutrinos within the solar sectors.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
ELUSIVE NEUTRINOS</p>
|
|
<p>This chapter offers observational evidence which led me to my
|
|
conclusions.</p>
|
|
<p>Problem:
|
|
Dr. Raymond Davis of the Brookhaven National Laboratory has been
|
|
monitoring the emanation of neutrons from the <span class="LOC">Sun</span> since 1967, and he
|
|
has demonstrated that the flow of these neutrinos amounts to less than
|
|
1/3 of the amount anticipated by the current hydrogen fusion core
|
|
theories.(5) Why?
|
|
Solution:
|
|
The deficiency in the neutrino count may be accounted for as follows;
|
|
neutrinos originate from, or near, the Sun's surface. Since nothing
|
|
can travel through the Sun's Absolute vacuum interior, only the
|
|
neutrinos produced on the side of the <span class="LOC">Sun</span> facing us reach the Earth.
|
|
Those neutrinos originating from the opposite side of the <span class="LOC">Sun</span> cannot
|
|
penetrate the Sun's absolute vacuum interior and so escape the Earth
|
|
based observer.
|
|
This is the cause for the lesser neutrino flow observed to be coming
|
|
from the <span class="LOC">Sun</span>.</p>
|
|
<p>Problem:
|
|
When sunspots occur on the Sun's photosphere, the neutrino count
|
|
drops.
|
|
Neutrinos have no charge and so cannot be affected by the magnetic
|
|
field of sunspots on the Sun's surface.
|
|
If neutrinos originate from the Sun's core and travel outwards, then
|
|
sunspots on the photospheric surface should have no effect on the
|
|
neutrinos. These subatomic particles should pass to the observer
|
|
unimpeded, yet the neutrino count is diminished during sunspot
|
|
activity.(6) Why?</p>
|
|
<p>Solution:
|
|
Neutrinos originate near the Sun's photospheric surface.
|
|
Within sunspots there is decreased temperature and luminosity, so
|
|
there is less likelihood of neutrino production; hence a decrease of
|
|
neutrinos during sunspot activity.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
SUNSPOTS</p>
|
|
<p>Problem:
|
|
<span class="LOC">Sunspots</span> are depressions in the Sun's photospheric surface.(7) If the
|
|
interior of a sunspot is closer to the Sun's supposed core, why does
|
|
it get cooler and darker and not hotter and brighter in these areas?
|
|
Solution:
|
|
The <span class="LOC">Sun</span> has no core.
|
|
A sunspot depression is darker because it is closer to the Sun's
|
|
Absolute vacuum interior.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
THOUGHT MODEL</p>
|
|
<p>If the Sun's mass is only a thin shell of matter, how does one account
|
|
for its powerful gravitational attraction?
|
|
It is time for a thought model.
|
|
Imagine the air in front of you. Imagine now that you can apply a
|
|
force to expel the air away from a given volume. First, you may
|
|
notice that the most efficient shape to maintain a vacuum is a sphere.
|
|
Next, you might observe that the exterior air is attracted to the
|
|
vacuum -- an attraction which falls away with the square of the
|
|
distance from the source. This attraction is a feature which exhibits
|
|
the same characteristics as the force of gravity.
|
|
To illustrate this concept, stir a cup of tea or coffee and carefully
|
|
pour in some milk. Notice how the interior of the vortex moves faster
|
|
than the area further out from the vortex.
|
|
A vortex has a low pressure interior and high pressure exterior. It
|
|
behaves in a manner identical to that of the planets orbiting the <span class="LOC">Sun</span>,
|
|
in that both phenomena obey Kepler's Second Law of Planetary Motion(8)
|
|
- which is a notable characteristic of gravity.
|
|
Another way you can observe this attraction at work is to hold a
|
|
vacuum cleaner nozzle up to a source of smoke. The attraction of smoke
|
|
to the vacuum nozzle will fall off with the square of the distance
|
|
from the nozzle, just like gravity.
|
|
Let us take our thought model into the real universe.
|
|
Space - any space - anywhere, contains a measure of mass/energy. The
|
|
proof of this is the Background Radiation which pervades our universe.
|
|
Even the 'thinnest' space is a veritable soup of radiation, virtual
|
|
particles and even whole atoms passing through any given volume at
|
|
phenomenal speeds.(9)
|
|
It follows that the laws of pressure that we applied to our thought
|
|
model should hold true anywhere in the universe; wherever there is
|
|
pressure, a vacuum will attract.
|
|
If an Absolute vacuum were possible, what behavior would we expect of
|
|
its nature? How would the universe respond to such a phenomenon?</p>
|
|
<p>Dictionaries describe a vacuum as: 'A space devoid of matter.' This
|
|
definition is no longer a sufficient description of a vacuum, since it
|
|
appears that all space in the Universe contains some measure of
|
|
mass/energy. Perhaps a better description would be: 'A Vacuum is a
|
|
volume devoid of space.'
|
|
Such a volume might be quite different from conventional space. Since
|
|
temperature is a result of mass/energy space, it is reasonable to
|
|
assume that the temperature of an Absolute Vacuum must be absolute
|
|
zero.
|
|
If time is a consequence of mass/energy space, then an Absolute Vacuum
|
|
must be without time. An observer within such a field would not be
|
|
affected by the time frame of exterior space; time would stand still
|
|
for that observer while the exterior universe raced on.
|
|
A magnetic field is a manifestation of mass/energy but it is NOT
|
|
mass/energy in itself. Because of this it seems reasonable to assume
|
|
that a magnetic field may exist within an absolute vacuum.
|
|
In our thought model we used an imaginary force to maintain a
|
|
continuous vacuum. Is there any way of demonstrating the existence of
|
|
this force?</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
PLASMA: THE SUPER-HOT GAS</p>
|
|
<p>As I mentioned in the introduction, it was not long ago, that physics
|
|
classified matter into only three states: Solid, liquid, and gas.
|
|
It was not realized until recently that a gas heated to a very high
|
|
temperature does not obey the law of gasses; it displays a behavior
|
|
unique to its own nature and scientists have only recently begun to
|
|
probe its secrets.(10) So different is this state from a regular gas,
|
|
that it has been classified as a fourth state of matter: a plasma.(11)
|
|
Because all stars consist of this super-hot gas, it is estimated that
|
|
over ninety percent of the known universe exists in a plasma
|
|
state.(12)
|
|
Put simply, plasma is a super-hot gas in which electrons are
|
|
stripped away from protons, placing particles of like polarity in the
|
|
same camp.
|
|
Plasmas which are shot through a plasma gun ( a magnetic field,) and
|
|
into a vacuum tube display well defined structure. Unfortunately,
|
|
because of the speed (120 miles per second,) with which the plasma
|
|
makes its way down the vacuum tube, photos reveal only a glimmering of
|
|
the complexity that can be contributed to plasma structure. However,
|
|
it is known that the plasma structure can evolve into a helix-like
|
|
flow composed of two separate streams, one consisting of electrons and
|
|
the other of protons. Furthermore, it has been observed that the
|
|
structure as a whole maintains a stable shape that can best be
|
|
described as a cross between a doughnut and a "Slinky" - a toy spring
|
|
that can 'walk' down a staircase, - turned in on itself.(13)
|
|
It is significant that electrons and protons can organize into
|
|
separate camps, because like particles of the same charge repel one
|
|
another.
|
|
If it is possible to produce a plasma configuration where the mutual
|
|
repulsion of particles occur, then it is likely that the volume left
|
|
in their wake is an Absolute Vacuum.
|
|
It strikes me that it would be a fruitful enterprise to monitor some
|
|
future plasma experiments with a sensitive gravimeter to see if known
|
|
plasma configurations exhibit inducing gravity characteristics.</p>
|
|
<p>RUDIMENTS OF THE DYNAMIC GRAVAC CYCLE</p>
|
|
<p>Although it is highly possible that the following scenario is a gross
|
|
oversimplification, I believe it to be an accurate thumbnail rendition
|
|
of the Sun's mode of propagation. I call it the Solar Gravity/Vacuum
|
|
Cycle, or the Solar GRAVAC cycle:
|
|
Imagine a gaseous giant, perhaps a little bigger than Jupiter. The
|
|
gravitational sum of its mass causes intense pressure and so generates
|
|
atomic fusion at its center.
|
|
The fusion reaction splits up protons and electrons which are forced
|
|
into like camps, where they repel one another.
|
|
However, the plasma can only travel outwards a finite distance,
|
|
because it has left an Absolute Vacuum in its wake.
|
|
The attraction of mass/energy space towards the Absolute Vacuum causes
|
|
a gravitational implosion.
|
|
The plasma has nowhere to go. It cannot go further inwards, because of
|
|
the repulsive magnetic field; nor can it expand outwards, due to the
|
|
gravity holding it back - what's a plasma to do?
|
|
To answer this question, try the following: Rub your hands together
|
|
fast and furious. See how they get hot?
|
|
The solar hydrogen shell is under intense pressure at the vacuum
|
|
boundary and this causes the Sun's radiation. The released energy
|
|
maintains the plasma because electrons are stripped from protons and
|
|
so the cycle repeats, thereby maintaining the radiation of the <span class="LOC">Sun</span>.
|
|
The energy needed to maintain a total vacuum of a given volume is
|
|
equal to the energy radiating from its boundary. In the case of our
|
|
sun, that is 3.38 X 10 to the 33 ergs/sec.(14)
|
|
Let us now review the cycle:
|
|
A primordial giant planet - larger than Jupiter - inaugurates standard
|
|
gravitational compression in core of proto-sun...Pressure...Nuclear
|
|
Fusion.....Plasma.....Electrons form Camp/ Protons form
|
|
Camp....Magnetic repulsion....Induced Gravitational Attraction...
|
|
And then back to ' Pressure.'....</p>
|
|
<p>This concept is in harmony with the conservation of angular momentum,
|
|
in that it accounts for the relatively slow rotation of our <span class="LOC">Sun</span>.
|
|
Jupiter, the fifth planet from the <span class="LOC">Sun</span>, has by far the greatest
|
|
portion of angular momentum of the Solar System. If the <span class="LOC">Sun</span> contracted
|
|
from a cloud of hydrogen, one would expect the center to rotate the
|
|
fastest, like a spinning ice skater will rotate faster if she draws
|
|
her arms into her side. The GRAVAC scenario suggests that the early
|
|
proto-Sun's spin was considerable while it was a dense ball of mass,
|
|
but as it inaugurated nuclear fusion and expanded into a thin shell of
|
|
plasma, it lost its angular momentum - like the ice skater letting her
|
|
arms out and slowing down.(15)</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
HELIOSEISMOLOGY - THE RING OF TRUTH</p>
|
|
<p>A whole new science has recently sprung up called Helioseismology. It
|
|
has been observed that the <span class="LOC">Sun</span> vibrates, rather like a bell. It is
|
|
presently believed that solar resonances are propagated acoustically
|
|
from the Sun's core.(16)
|
|
But is this so?
|
|
Solar oscillations came as a complete surprise to solar theorists
|
|
because one does not usually associate structures that get denser
|
|
towards their center as good candidates for effective oscillators.
|
|
Hollow structures, such as bells are good oscillators; so too is a
|
|
GRAVAC <span class="LOC">Sun</span>.
|
|
We know from studying the powerful magnetic fields that erupt from
|
|
sunspot depressions that the <span class="LOC">Sun</span> is capable of propagating interior
|
|
magnetic fields reaching thousands of gauss.(17)
|
|
It is this interior field which causes the Sun's magnetically
|
|
sensitive outer shell to dance upon the interior magnetic field, like
|
|
the oscillations produced by an acoustic speaker.
|
|
A blind-folded person would be hard pressed to tell whether he is
|
|
being addressed directly or via a speaker.</p>
|
|
<p>The same is true for Helioseismology; the observer is blind to the
|
|
interior and so the information is interpreted in the light of present
|
|
concepts of solar theory.
|
|
Helioseismologists have discovered a condition in the Sun's shallower
|
|
layers which is at variance with conventional core models: Through
|
|
frequency splittings resulting from the Sun's rotation, it is observed
|
|
that the rotation actually decreases with depth. It is hard for any
|
|
core theory to come to terms with this lack of angular momentum.(18)
|
|
This observation of the <span class="LOC">Sun</span> suggests an inversion - a sun turned
|
|
inside out.</p>
|

RELATED NATURAL PHENOMENA
|
|
Vocal cords produce compressional waves ( high and low pressures )
|
|
that travel through the air. These waves are received by the ear,
|
|
which converts them into electro-chemical impulses that are
|
|
distributed to the relevant centers of the brain.(19)
|
|
The ear also acts as a mechanism of body balance; the semi-circular
|
|
canals allow the brain to determine the position of the head in
|
|
relation to the gravitational attraction of the Earth.
|
|
If pressure and gravity were two separate and unrelated forces, would
|
|
one not expect to find two distinctly separate organs to monitor these
|
|
phenomena?</p>
|
|
<p>A plane flies through the air; its forward motion produces a flow of
|
|
air above the wing which creates a standing low pressure center.(20)
|
|
The plane is sucked into the air, away from the Earth's gravitational
|
|
field. Again we observe an interplay between the forces of pressure
|
|
and gravity.</p>
|
|
<p>When a rocket in space fires its engines, the same interplay of forces
|
|
are at work. The rocket places a high pressure behind itself; in so
|
|
doing it can be said that a low pressure center exists in front of the
|
|
rocket, and the rocket moves in that direction.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
MR. SCIENCE & THE BREEZY ROOM</p>
|
|
<p>I have constructed a very special room. Its design allows for a flow
|
|
of air through the ceiling and floor of the room. It has no windows
|
|
and whoever is inside is unable to make any exterior observations. As
|
|
with Einstein's famous accelerating rocket,(21) the observer is free
|
|
to draw conclusions from any phenomena that take place in the room,
|
|
but he is unaware of the exterior environment.
|
|
We now place a fan above the roof of the room which forces air
|
|
downwards. Air flows through the room and Mr. Science takes note.
|
|
The room is now placed on a high tower some distance above the Earth.
|
|
Imagine that we now pile an enormous quantity of air above the tower.
|
|
Due to the Earths gravitational attraction which causes the atmosphere
|
|
'hug' the planet, the air will flow back towards the Earth and regain
|
|
its composure.
|
|
In doing so, the air will also flow through Mr. Science's room - he
|
|
takes note.</p>
|
|
<p>When asked about the nature of the two experiments, he tells us that
|
|
he believes them to be identical - a flow of air from top to bottom.
|
|
He is unaware that the first experiment was the result of pressure;
|
|
nor does he know that the second experiment was caused by gravity. He
|
|
therefore concludes that the nature of the force that propelled the
|
|
air through the room was the same in both instances; to Mr. Science,
|
|
pressure_and_gravity_are_identical!</p>

|
NATURE'S GRAVITY WELLS</p>
|
|
<p>Earlier, I mentioned that a vortex in a stirred cup of coffee mimics
|
|
the force of gravity. This phenomena is not limited to our cup; it
|
|
manifests itself throughout nature's domain.
|
|
The low pressure eye of a hurricane is a strangely tranquil place in
|
|
which there is little wind and the blue sky can be seen above, while
|
|
on all sides the high pressure fury circulates. Such is the power of
|
|
the hurricane's eye that the ocean has been observed to rise several
|
|
feet higher in this center than the ocean level surrounding the
|
|
eye.(22)
|
|
This rise in sea level is caused by the low pressure of the
|
|
hurricane's eye; the mass of the ocean in the eye is attracted to the
|
|
relative vacuum. As with gravity, the attraction to the eye falls off
|
|
with the square of the distance from its center.</p>
|
|
<p>Spiral galaxies mimic the vortex and their shape leaves us with some
|
|
perplexing questions: If galaxies are gravitationally-bound systems in
|
|
dynamic equilibrium, they should consist of enough matter to hold
|
|
themselves together.
|
|
Surprisingly, it would appear that there is not enough matter present
|
|
in galaxies to achieve this, thereby giving rise to the famous
|
|
'Missing Mass Problem'.(23)
|
|
How does a spiral galaxy obtain the additional gravitational force
|
|
when it does not have a corresponding quantity of matter? Is it
|
|
possible that its high energy center is an Absolute Vacuum?
|
|
If the GRAVAC scenario proves correct, then it is not an unreasonable
|
|
speculation that galactic centers of a spiral galaxies are inducing
|
|
gravity without a corresponding quantity of mass.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
THE CONSEQUENCES OF A GRAVAC SUN</p>
|
|
<p>The concept of Absolute Vacuums may go some way to explain Olbers
|
|
Paradox, which states that, if space is infinite, why is the sky not
|
|
bright with radiative sources?
|
|
If space is interrupted with Absolute Vacuums, - and there would be as
|
|
many of these as there are stars - then any given area of space would
|
|
in effect be 'shielded' from other quadrants.</p>
|
|
<p>If the <span class="LOC">Sun</span> is merely a shell of mass and so has considerably less mass
|
|
than hitherto expected, then it cannot afford to merely drift around
|
|
living off its limited mass, or it would soon expend its supply of
|
|
fuel. This suggests that there must be some mechanism through which
|
|
the <span class="LOC">Sun</span> replenishes its dwindling fuel supply.
|
|
I would suggest that it does this by orbiting the galaxy, 'feeding'
|
|
off the clouds and globules that pervade the Milky Way. The Sun's
|
|
magnetic and gravitational capacity make for an efficient 'food
|
|
foraging' mechanism. Both nebulae and <span class="LOC">Sun</span> travel in the same direction
|
|
about the galaxy, like cars traveling in the same direction on a
|
|
highway.
|
|
Although the <span class="LOC">Sun</span> is unlikely to collide with the nebulae on a given
|
|
trajectory, their mutual gravitational attraction will alter the Sun's
|
|
course towards the cloud and the <span class="LOC">Sun</span> will plunge into the nebula's
|
|
hydrogen-rich interior.
|
|
It is estimated that the Sun's magnetic influence reaches well beyond
|
|
the planets of our solar system. When highly accelerated particles of
|
|
the solar wind collide with the gas and dust of space, electrons and
|
|
protons are knocked off from one another, thus making these particles
|
|
within the Sun's heliosphere magnetically sensitive. This is somewhat
|
|
similar to the static cling you get in a drier. The charged particle
|
|
follows the magnetic fieldlines to the north or south pole of the <span class="LOC">Sun</span>,
|
|
depending on the polarity of the particle. The Sun's gravitational and
|
|
magnetic fields are an effective means of sweeping the galactic plane
|
|
for matter.
|
|
We can see this effect on a smaller scale with our own planet when we
|
|
watch the cascade of particles coming to Earth in the form of the
|
|
Aurora Borealis.
|
|
In the same way the <span class="LOC">Sun</span> consumes the matter which is necessary for its
|
|
continued existence.
|
|
Our <span class="LOC">Sun</span> is presently not in a nebula, and so it is not digesting much
|
|
matter at the moment, but if you look at stars in these nebulae, you
|
|
will see that they are in a highly energetic state.
|
|
I suggest that this is due to the infalling matter which excites the
|
|
surface of these suns. Many astronomers believe that the high energy
|
|
state of suns in nebulae is due to their youth, and they point to the
|
|
Hurtzsprung-Russell diagram as the proof of this.
|
|
The Hurtzsprung-Russell diagram plots stars on a chart in order of
|
|
their magnitude and temperature, and it is believed that this tells us
|
|
something about the evolution of stars.
|
|
Can we rely on such a diagram for evolutionary information? Consider
|
|
this little story:</p>
|
|
<p>An umpire is standing in a crowded stadium. Upon his nose is an
|
|
intelligent wart. This wart desires to know the process of evolution
|
|
of its host, namely the umpire. In order to aid itself in this quest,
|
|
the wart observes the other people in the stadium. Although the wart
|
|
cannot see, it is able to monitor heartbeats and blood pressure of
|
|
people present.
|
|
Armed with this information, the wart constructs a graph upon which it
|
|
places the rate of hart beat and blood pressure of all the people in
|
|
the stadium.
|
|
The wart now mistakenly believes that by comparing people in this
|
|
manner, it has acquired a system that displays a sequence of evolution
|
|
from youth to old age.
|
|
In reality, the graph displays no such information; it merely
|
|
describes the momentary state of excitement of the people in the
|
|
stadium. The same is true for stars in nebulae. Stars of any age burn
|
|
hotter and brighter while feeding.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
CONCLUSION</p>
|
|
<p>In 1979 I stayed in Chicago with a friend who had been kind enough to
|
|
give me lodging while I was organizing an exhibition of my artwork.
|
|
One evening, after a particularly strenuous day I took a long lazy
|
|
soak in the bath. By chance I grabbed up an astronomy periodical which
|
|
lay atop a stack of magazines which happened to contain pictures taken
|
|
by the Voyager spacecraft which had recently passed through the Jovian
|
|
system. Those images held me transfixed for hours, and the tub water
|
|
was quite cold when I emerged from its primordial soup.
|
|
Eight years later and after considerable reflection I still cannot
|
|
dissect, much less put into any coherent order of thought, the
|
|
process that led to the chrysalis which formed in my mind; I can only
|
|
offer its fruits.
|
|
These writings are an attempt to put the essence of that vision into a
|
|
semblance of order.
|
|
In the process of writing this paper I have come to realize that we
|
|
live in an outrageously animated universe where nature's ingenuity is
|
|
law. Within this cosm, no cohesive entity is allowed existence unless
|
|
the efficiency of its structure has undergone nature's rigorous
|
|
trials.
|
|
If suns feed through the manipulation of electromagnetism and gravity,
|
|
it would seem reasonable to assume that they would do so in the most
|
|
efficient way possible.
|
|
Consider natures 'invention' of the strawberry flower. This is an
|
|
efficient device which allows for pollination and fruit. Pollination
|
|
assures reproduction. The fruit which are derived from the pollinated
|
|
flower are specifically designed for the survival of its offspring.
|
|
The seeds that are imbedded on the surface of the strawberry pass
|
|
unharmed through the animal digestive system. In this way the
|
|
offspring are deposited in a rich compost, away from the parent plant
|
|
thereby avoiding competition.
|
|
I propose that it is the nature of suns exhibit the same measure of
|
|
ingenuity.
|
|
In space, mass is scarce and suns will have evolved in such a way as
|
|
to take the greatest advantage of the mass that is available to them.
|
|
Mass - from which gravity and electromagnetism are derived - are the
|
|
tools with which suns seek their fuel. If suns can induce gravity -
|
|
make more gravity than the corresponding quantity of mass allows -
|
|
then they will have sought a way to do so, for it is the nature of all
|
|
life-forms to seek an excellence of efficiency.
|
|
The life-urge is a universal and little-understood force; it is the
|
|
common thread which holds the microcosm to the macrocosm.
|
|
I think it unlikely that this thin sheath we call a biosphere is
|
|
unique in its essence; if we only choose to see, then manifestations
|
|
of life are to be found on all scales of the cosm. Seasons repeat,
|
|
galaxies spin, atoms oscillate.
|
|
Mankind is often fooled into thinking of consistency as inanimate; a
|
|
cup seems to be a cup from moment to moment, but why should it be the
|
|
same cup? Is there any particular reason why we should believe an atom
|
|
is the same atom after each oscillation?
|
|
Can we maintain that a forest is the same forest from season to
|
|
season?
|
|
Nor is the consistency of an ocean's color a result of the inanimate;
|
|
on the contrary, its color is a celebration of life. The 'unchanging'
|
|
appearance of an oceans color and hue is net result of the countless
|
|
micro-organisms in the process of living within its water.
|
|
Why is it so hard for us as humans to see and comprehend a living
|
|
universe?
|
|
In our shells of being, we are trapped in our own time notion and it
|
|
is only through insight, patience and study that the actions of
|
|
smaller and larger cosms come to life for us.</p>
|
|
<p>Humankind must resist falling prey to the vanity of uniqueness.
|
|
The sum of our species has shown no more self determination than any
|
|
other species; we mindlessly extract trapped carbon in the form of
|
|
coal and oil and eject it into the Earths atmosphere.
|
|
Is there purpose in this?
|
|
How would we know if we refuse to even consider the Earth as a living
|
|
entity of which we are an interacting part? We hurtle along, blinded
|
|
by our lack of humility; if we refuse look about us in the midst of a
|
|
living universe, how will we know oblivion even if we were rushing
|
|
directly towards it?</p>
|
|
<p>I suspect that the vast majority of copies of this paper will be
|
|
thrown away without even being read. Some will be casually browsed
|
|
through before they are discarded. However, through the sheer force of
|
|
their numbers it is quite possible that a few - such as you dear
|
|
reader - will actually have read the paper in its entirety.
|
|
I fancy someday, someone will be tempted to perform the occultation
|
|
experiment which I have described earlier in this paper. I suspect
|
|
that this will happen sooner or later anyway, and If my vision is
|
|
false, and neutrinos pass through the <span class="LOC">Sun</span> unimpeded, then surely I
|
|
have hurt or offended no one.
|
|
However, if it holds the seeds of truth - that gravity is no slave to
|
|
matter - where lie the limits of humankind's destiny, if we learn to
|
|
understand and control the nature of its force?</p>
|
|
<p>It is quite possible that no one will remember my prediction when
|
|
verified, but that is of no consequence. The origin of an idea is of
|
|
no importance; time bleaches the pages of history, names are
|
|
eventually forgotten in the haze of time and no one is remembered for
|
|
very long. I suspect Nietzsche is wrong when he writes that the only
|
|
things remembered are written in blood and stone. Overall, humankinds
|
|
collective memory is quite short and so it is only the concepts that
|
|
become indispensable and fundamental to the survival of our species
|
|
that ever remain through the rise and fall of cultures and in my
|
|
conceit, it is here that I stake my claim.</p>
|
|
<p>Man has no time but that river of dreams upon which he casts himself
|
|
adrift.</p>
