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.
