OMNIPRESENT. “Magnetic field (and their inevitable offspring of fast particles) are found everywhere in the universe where we have the means to look for them.” https://lnkd.in/eYiqnNnc View in LinkedIn

MAGNETIC ETHER. “When we look at the universe on a larger scale, there is a magnetic field in interstellar space, evidently extending around the disk of the galaxy. The field is embedded in the interstellar gas and confines the cosmic rays produced by the stars within it.” https://lnkd.in/eYiqnNnc View in LinkedIn

THE MOST MAGNETIC OBJECTS. “Over 200 magnetic stars, with fields in excess of 100 G and ranging up to 34,000 G have come to light. The pulsar is a spinning neutron star with strong pulsed emission of radiation as a consequence of magnetic fields up to 10(12) G.” https://lnkd.in/eYiqnNnc View in LinkedIn

TURBULENT JUPITER. “The remarkable conditions surrounding the planet Jupiter, with intense belts of fast particles trapped in an extended magnetic field emitting bursts of protons and relativistic electrons into space with each rotation of the planet...with occasional bursts of radio waves moving near the speed of light in a magnetic field.” https://lnkd.in/eYiqnNnc View in LinkedIn

DRIVER OF COSMIC RAYS. “The large cosmic ray variations at earth are the result of magnetic variations in the wind.” https://lnkd.in/eYiqnNnc View in LinkedIn

DRIVING SOLAR WINDS. “The solar wind is powerfully affected by magnetic events on the sun, as is the effect of the solar wind on earth. The magnetic sector structure of the wind, the turbulence, the standing shock waves, and the occasional blast wave from a flare all owe their existence to magnetic conditions in the sun.” https://lnkd.in/eYiqnNnc View in LinkedIn

DECENTRALIZED INTELLIGENCE. “Andrew Adamatzky has made significant strides in developing real applications for liquid computing (2019), fungal computing (2018), and slime-mold based “physarum machines” (2010). Unconventional computing expresses alternative modes of intelligence and demonstrates that a nervous system is not necessary to fuse sensorial inputs, process information, and make decisions.” https://lnkd.in/eb8yGxmV View in LinkedIn

COSMIC PARTICLE ACCELERATOR. “The occasional intense x-ray and ultraviolet radiation from the sun are a product of solar activity, and hence, of magnetic fields. The bursts of x-rays and the occasional gamma-ray burst are caused by the collision of fast electrons and atomic nuclei with thermal nuclei, after acceleration to high speeds by the magnetic field activity that makes up the solar flare.” https://lnkd.in/eYiqnNnc View in LinkedIn

MAGNETIC SUNSPOTS. “The entire sunspot cycle with its quasiperiodic cycle of 11 and 22 years is a magnetic phenomenon. The magnetic fields on the sun represent a diversion of less than 10(-4) of the total solar output, yet they are responsible for qualitative effects on the environment in space and on earth.” https://lnkd.in/eYiqnNnc View in LinkedIn
