Peratt, Los Alamos National Laboratory<br /><br />“An electromotive force [mathematical equation] giving rise to electrical currents in conducting media is produced wherever a relative perpendicular motion of plasma and magnetic fields exists.” — Dr. Anthony L. Peratt, Los Alamos National Laboratory<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ieee.org/organizations/pubs/newsletters/npss/0306/peratt.html" rel="nofollow">Dr. Anthony L. Peratt's professional biography.</a><br /><br />And this two-step process is observed & measured in deep space beyond our solar system all the time.<br /><br />The two-step process is a matter of induction.<br /><br />No serious scientist questions this two-step causation process for electric current in space plasma.<br /><br />Electric current is not just quasi-neutral plasma flowing from one point to another, rather, electric current requires that charge seperation be present. Charge seperation requires quasi-neutral plasma to flow perpendicularly across a magnetic field which causes an Electric Double Layer (see link for detailed discussion of double layers in plasma):<br /><br /><a href="http://www.plasma-universe.com/Double_layer" rel="nofollow">Plasma double layer</a><br /><br />Which in turn causes charge seperated electric currents.<br /><br />Essentially, a collision between two bodies of plasma will generate an electric current.<br /><br />As one can imagine (and most important has been observed & measured), two colliding flows of plasma happen all the time in space, so, electric currents in space plasma are ubiquitous. Of course, it must be stated that once electrical currents are caused, they emanate their own magnetic fields and so plasma flows that impinge an electric current's magnetic field will cause in turn other electrical currents and so on. (This whole process is a positive reinforcing feedback loop.)<br /><br />Birkeland electric currents in space plasma will most often be sheathed in a double layer insulation.<br /><br />KV: What is your purpose here?<br /><br />You offer little in the way of substantive discussion and mostly empty name-calling.<br /><br />Electric fields are the most efficient particle accelerators that Science knows of.<br /><br />And given the inductive description & explanation of how electric currents are caused (the electric field in a double layer accelerates charged particles generally in opposite directions from each other, that's how the charge seperated electric current is caused), all observations & measurements of colliding plasma flows must take into account the electromagnetic analysis.<br /><br />Failure to account for this known physical relationship of space plasma renders any analysis incomplete and misleading.<br /><br />So-called "shocked gas" is an inadequate physical description & explanation because it leaves out the crucial fact that this is not "gas", but plasma with free electrons & ions and reacts in an electromagnetic manner.<br /><br />Such as the two-step process outlined by Dr. Peratt.<br /><br />Remember, essentially, two colliding bodies of plasma will cause charge-seperated electric currents in space plasma.<br /><br />KV: The analysis in the extended passage you quoted fails to address this electromagnetic dynamic in space plasma.<br /><br />Therefore, the discussion is meaningless and misleading for the readers.Anacondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522474791573134808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100054477013501859.post-69788841528567241782010-02-07T07:50:10.745-08:002010-02-07T07:50:10.745-08:00http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2010/02/hubbl...http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2010/02/hubble-sights-strange-spaceshipshaped-object-traveling-at-11000mph.html<br /><br />Hubble diverted.

They show in a paper published today on Science Express that cosmic rays from our galaxy are very efficiently accelerated in the remnants of exploded stars.</b><br /><br />During the Apollo flights astronauts reported seeing odd flashes of light, visible even with their eyes closed. We have since learnt that the cause was cosmic rays — extremely energetic particles from outside the Solar System arriving at the Earth, and constantly bombarding its atmosphere. Once they reach Earth, they still have sufficient energy to cause glitches in electronic components.<br /><br />Galactic cosmic rays come from sources inside our home galaxy, the Milky Way, and consist mostly of protons moving at close to the speed of light, the “ultimate speed limit” in the Universe. These protons have been accelerated to energies exceeding by far the energies that even CERN’s Large Hadron Collider will be able to achieve.<br /><br />“It has long been thought that the super-accelerators that produce these cosmic rays in the Milky Way are the expanding envelopes created by exploded stars, but our observations reveal the smoking gun that proves it”, says Eveline Helder from the Astronomical Institute Utrecht of Utrecht University in the Netherlands, the first author of the new study.<br /><br />“You could even say that we have now confirmed the calibre of the gun used to accelerate cosmic rays to their tremendous energies”, adds collaborator Jacco Vink, also from the Astronomical Institute Utrecht.<br /><br />For the first time Helder, Vink and colleagues have come up with a measurement that solves the long-standing astronomical quandary of whether or not stellar explosions produce enough accelerated particles to explain the number of cosmic rays that hit the Earth’s atmosphere. The team’s study indicates that they indeed do and it directly tells us how much energy is removed from the shocked gas in the stellar explosion and used to accelerate particles.<br /><br />“When a star explodes in what we call a supernova a large part of the explosion energy is used for accelerating some particles up to extremely high energies”, says Helder. “The energy that is used for particle acceleration is at the expense of heating the gas, which is therefore much colder than theory predicts”.<br /><br />The researchers looked at the remnant of a star that exploded in AD 185, as recorded by Chinese astronomers. The remnant, called RCW 86, is located about 8200 light-years away towards the constellation of Circinus (the Drawing Compass). It is probably the oldest record of the explosion of a star.<br /><br />Using ESO’s Very Large Telescope, the team measured the temperature of the gas right behind the shock wave created by the stellar explosion. They measured the speed of the shock wave as well, using images taken with NASA’s X-ray Observatory Chandra three years apart. They found it to be moving at between 10 and 30 million km/h, between 1 and 3 percent the speed of light.<br /><br />The temperature of the gas turned out to be 30 million degrees Celsius. This is quite hot compared to everyday standards, but much lower than expected, given the measured shock wave’s velocity. This should have heated the gas up to at least half a billion degrees.<br /><br />“The missing energy is what drives the cosmic rays”, concludes Vink.<br />More information<br />This research was presented in a paper to appear in Science: Measuring the cosmic ray acceleration efficiency of a supernova remnant, by E.
