Firstpost: April 15, 2006
Abstract: Massive solar eruptions and even Gamma Ray Bursts
may be caused by temporary internal thermonuclear
compression of the sun's plasma to near cubic status and
then the subsequent decompression of that part of the sun's
plasma (mass).
First things first:
For Joseph_sixpacks, probably one of the best starting
places is: Dr. Jack B. Zirker's authoritive book,
Journey from the Center of the Sun
published in 2002 by Princeton University Press
ISBN 0-691-05781-8 and printed on good acid free paper.
It's not that old yet, and a lot of questions to be answered
are still framed within. Plus a lot of history facts are
presented from which to make deductions, and which, age will
not effect. An important issue for a theoretical joe.
Occasionally, i'll paraphrase or quote a line or two from
Dr. Zirker's book and will so notate. Here is a soul that
spent a LOT of time with the issues.
an 'intellectual' aside
One of the interesting things about theoretical cosmology is
the fact that for the most part, all you have to work with
in all your hypotheses are just stars. that's it. as well
of course, the varying sizes of stars, all 'burning' away in
their thermonuclear way.
Stars. just that one item. It all has to come from there.
So what are all the properties of star sourced thermonuclear
events in the cosmos? Can they vary with size? temperature?
density?
Can gamma ray bursts come from masses so large that they
permit no radiation to escape from their gravitational
field?
All you can do is stare aghast into the malestrom of
unbelievable thermonuclear heat. Into the bowels of Hell
itself perhaps.
Do such things live? Is there thought within their plasmatic
activity? Or just.....? Do we know enough to define what a
conscious thought is? Can the sun think? Is it a person of
the population of the Cosmos? Do they fear? Do they know?
Insane questions for sure. but what acts of sanity but life
trying to live. One could argue that even suicide is an
anxiety-reducing mechanism that the organism erroneously
choses to reduce the stress upon the autonomic nervous
system. It is a postulate that life uses every means at its
disposal to sustain itself. And so perhaps, our search to
understand the hidden things within and without ourselves.
but i am wandering off subject again... back to the sun...
So anyhow, thousands of derivitive questions arise from the
heat of our sun and the vastness of the cosmos.
The sane have a lot of trouble maintaining their self
importance and pomp. They tend to view such behaviorial
predispositions not as qualities but as just another blind
survival device that life has hit upon to assist in the
stability of the autonomic nervous system of the thinking
worm.
A collection of worms has apparently banded together for the
purposes of promoting wormlife. be a good worm. don't go
fishing, just eat your dirt and be happy. and maybe find a
nice little girl worm :-)
See! another question!
are there little boy and girl worms? :-)
anyhow, back to heating the tea.
Don't stand in front of the heater
From time to time, say oh.., about every eleven point one
years on average plus or minus a lot, the sun gets cranky
and develops little spots like measles and then, if
conditions are right, explodes with such unimaginable force
that its explosion rivals the size of the whole continent of
Asia and ejects the equivalent of: 1 x 1010
tons of super hot gravy onto the kitchen ceiling out where
we live. That is a grumpy lump of hot gravy.
(paraphase Zirker intro. page 1 and chap.10, page 173)
Sometimes the hot plasma gravy comes putt-putting out at
only the speed limit, but then, there are other times when
the stuff comes out at near c velocity, and heads towards
the hapless earth! Talk about a pissed off dragon!
Now that is a "whew!" event and given the minuscule size and
status of our little heater (the sun) compared to the rest
of the cosmos you wonder how such a little guy can spit so
far, so fast, so much, so hard?
This little chapter proposes to offer an explanation on the
how. not so much on the why.
Back to SNOT
If you haven't waded through the snot standard model
chapter, i propose that you do it now to get a handle on the
theoretical cubic compression model of mass under extreme
pressures, because the cause of the solar eruptions is
sourced in extreme pressures and pressure release, according
to joe's hypothesis.
Another issue is: Are there gravitational vortex's present
somewhat like the magnetic vortexs present within the
sunspots that would allow a somewhat lower escape velocity
enabling the plasma to achieve highter ejection velocities?
Let's leave that one alone for awhile...
Finished with the Snot Standard Model?
Okay, now what is happening within the sun's plasma currents
is that a lot of thermonuclear events are going off at once
apparently in period intervals of d distance apart.
Now in between say, two thermonuclear events, there is an
area of extreme compression that is created due to the
instantaneous pressures developed in between the two select
fusion events.
There is so much presure that the remaining quantum plasma
elements are compressed mightily to almost cubic status.
The tipoff to the existence of the cubic compression
conformation model is the presence of humongous magnetic
fields on the (estimated at 3000 gauss) sun which can
normally only be generated in stuff like magnatars and
neutron stars and other very dense objects in the cosmos
that have ultra high gravity. (read the magnatar chapter)
Now the internal thermonuclear events within the plasma
don't last forever so when the measured magnetic and altered
gravitational fields start to decrease (normalize), we can
guess that the compression event has come to a close and a
return to normalcy of the severely compressed mass is
commenced. That is, an eruption is imminent. Sort of like
dropping a few drops of water into a frying pan of hot
grease - well... sort of like that, but not like that...
ahem... but the effects are there.
Don't be there
Now when the enormous pressures, upon that portion of the
plasma have caused the subject 'magma' to become compressed
and therefore altered their gravitation and magnetic
generation abilities, all due, because of the external
thermonuclear activity, come to an end, the repulsive fields
within the that portion of the plasma are free to reassert
their original volume.
The subject compressed plasma then wants to revert to its
normal volume and when it does, it does so with an
instantaneous vengence, and the resulting reassertment of
mass volume, 'explosion' ejects an enormous amount of
material physically into space along with all the other
elements attached thereto, but usually at putt-putt speeds.
However, it appears that such is not always the case.
Sometimes, there is a serious blastomatic event that slings
stuff out at speeds.
This is, by the way, in effect, a very miniature model of
joe's model of the 'big bang'. (read the Universe+ chapter)
except in the solar case, the pressures, albeit temporary,
came from temporary thermonuclear compression instead of
monsterous amounts of mass.
Now why are ejections even occurring?
Joe's best guess, and it just a guess. Is that it is caused
by the plasma counter currents that exist in the sun due to
the sun's own rotation upon its axis and magnetic fields.
The lumpy plasma crud submarining below sets itself off once
in a while.
When?
The next question is how to tell when an event will occur.
well if we put in solargesic orbit, gravy-o-meters (they
check for possible forthcoming ejections of gravy on the
ceiling) and magnet-o-meter instumentation (to drive your
boy scout compass crazy) all around the sun far enough away
so they wouldn't melt in your hand, using say... oh... about
64 satellites and beam their measurements to a collection
point, then to earth, we will be able to see a building or
alteration of the sun's external magnetic and gravitational
fields and with the increase in gravity and magnetism that
would occur due to the local internal compression build up
going on, and with that, it would tip us off that
thermonuclear processes have started to compress an area
beneath the plasma surfaces and the next event would be the
release of those pressures and an ejection of an amount and
duration. No idea of the elapsed times, but it wouldn't be
long.
Now, why are some ejections putt-putt and some near c?
To answer that question joe is going to have to take a nap
in a tunnel first. back later.
Later
Well, it occurred to joe that perhaps Gamma Ray Bursts might
use the same type of expulsion mechanism to set free the
huge amounts of energy that the earth takes receipt of
sometimes daily from afar in the cosmos. Best guess this
time is that the solar mass of the ejecting objects are/or
might be, under the radiation retention threshold. don't
know. just a first guess. how would the ejection phenomenon
change with ever increasing solar energy from ever larger
source solar masses?
Note: gonna post this first draft.
will do near 'c' velocity ejectiva stuff later.
calcium atoms (ions) in sun a problem for joe. derivative
from what? probably heliums?... later.
Preliminary Discussion Outline
The question is: why? how? when?
the phenomenon (fact situations)
the physical properties of magnetism involved
relative to the snot standard model and cubic compression
how it applies to our sun
why it may apply
detection of coming events
magnometers, gravometers. backside linking
monitoring plasma
timing the eruptions
solar plasma flows and similarities to jupitor gas flows
counter rotation turbulence causitive?
butterfly effect caused by?...
Now about a minor fly in the ointment...
From time to time, i guess, for some reason or another,
there have been periods of non-sunspot activity. This is
called the, "maunder minimun" The last one reported was
during the last mini iceage and it lasted a reported 30
years from some sources and around 70 from others (zirker
p253). The big question now is, why?, how? to these non-
events occur. (and why the big discrepancy in duration from
the scientific community) The fusion reactions are still
going on. The plasma purportedly is still squiggling around
inside. What has interdicted the sunspots? Well, i will
get right back to you on that one. bye for now.
back now, (it's September, 2006)
Consider the earth's rotation period of 24 hours...
it is possible that the magma far below has a different
period of rotation and there is a "hot spot" to its slightly
off center (from the surface of the earth) which affects its
heat convection velocities as it rotates uhhh... slower?
that the earth itself.
okay, so now we get a hot water - cold water convection
phenomenon. so we get more rain, less rain... etc., etc.
For further information go to your nearest group of arguing
climatologists. Don't ignore the moon's gravitational and
magnetic effect upon the earth's core as it rotates either.
Mustn't ignore the powerful influence of the reflected light
upon the weather in human affairs.
And one last consideration. Our solar system is reportedly
zooming through the galaxy at one million miles per hour.
No telling what junk lies in the path of the galaxy itself
and within the galaxy itself.
And one last condsideration. (ahem...)
in re: core samples
a strange hot wind may come over one site and not another 30
miles away. The melt will cause "missing years" and
probably lay down a lot of airborn particulate that ended up
deep with the core sample itself. These hot spots might
show up on tree ring data the otherwise would not show up in
a polar core sample. dating could be off. Of course, that
is just a big theoretical maybe, but i throw it out for
kickball anyway.
