News: Studying Earth's Magnetic Field

[CraigS]

Here ya go Alex ...

"A decade of studying the Earth's magnetic shield, in 3-D"
http://www.physorg.com/news202454522.html

"Today (September 1), space scientists around the world are celebrating ten years of ground-breaking discoveries by 'Cluster', a mission that is illuminating the mysteries of the magnetosphere, the northern lights and the solar wind."
...
"PEACE measures electrons and electric currents in the solar wind, magnetosphere and aurora. During Cluster's mission PEACE has been used to study huge bubbles of plasma three times the size of Earth jetting through the magnetosphere, very thin sheets of electric current flowing through space where explosive magnetic reconnection occurs, and grand waves on the edge of the magnetosphere, formed by the solar wind 'blowing' over the surface before breaking and forming tornado-like vortices. "

10 years of collecting data, eh ? That's a pretty fair-sized investment into investigating plasma flows in Earth's neighbourhood.

I wouldn't give Alex another excuse to make more noise...in any case, it's a very interesting article. 10 years of any program is a large chunk of research and quite an investment.

I presume you were thinking of the other Alex but I thank you for posting.

Yes....not you:):P

[sjastro]

Correct.

BTW where are the massive research dollars for push gravity.:)

Are you aware that Hamilton Arp has become a push gravity advocate?

You mean Halton??:):)

[xelasnave]

Hi Steven funny you should ask about funding I thought now may be the time to ask for some on the basis of being an independent person :rolleyes:

Gee Steven I have little regard for the views of those who have credentials beyond questioning so someone like Hamilton Arp who on my understanding is say not entirely in step with established cosmology will get no attention from me at all... any reading I do on the net is upon legitimate stuff (just been at that neat physics site Craig linked) and I am not that interested in others ideas as I am simply learning the basic stuff you guys already have under your belts.

I will have a look at what he has to say ...maybe I can help him:lol::lol::lol:

alex:):):)

[CraigS]

I vote that we call you Alex (Push) and the other Alex (EU) ?

For me, xelasnave is too hard to spell quickly !

Cheers

[sjastro]

Oops I got him mixed up with Quantum Mechanics or the genius that advanced Newtonian physics in the 19th century.:P

Yep ... you're a "Pusher" all right !!!
:P:)
:)

Here push push push ... just call me pussy:)
alex:):):)

[CraigS]

Howz about starting a new thread on Arp's Push subject ??

I can see this one going on forever !!

Cheers

[xelasnave]

I have started a few threads in my time on push gravity that go on forever:rolleyes:... and I was the only poster:eyepop:... so I dont know about another:shrug:..er why not:D.... but it wont be me who starts it:);)

alex:):):)

[sjastro]

That will upset the PC brigade. The Push crowd stealing one of "their own".:lol:

[renormalised]

Hell no!!!!!!!:):P

[renormalised]

At least it might keep them out of our hair!!!:P

[CraigS]

Gotta think about this phenomenon for a while ... the beauty of messaging boards, huh ?

(I won't say that I'm immune from it either).
:question:

Cheers
