EXTREME DENSITY STARS. “The equation of state of matter compressed to supernuclear densities is of considerable interest in astrophysics. For example, pulsars are stars compressed to densities greater than the density of atomic nuclei and are thought to be composed primarily of neutrons.” https://lnkd.in/d6eXuD9 View in LinkedIn

SOLAR WIND. “As it takes several hours of southward interplanetary field and/or high solar wind speed to create a magnetic storm, they often follow from the interaction of a fast solar wind stream, an interplanetary magnetic cloud, an ICME, or other coherent solar wind structure.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

MAGNETIC STORMS. “Magnetospheric substorms require a period of enhanced energy input (southward interplanetary field) from 30 minutes to 1 hour. If the energy input continues significantly longer (≥3 h), a magnetic storm develops.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

PERIODICITY. “On the other hand, stronger levels of driving may lead to sawtooth oscillations, which are large-scale substorms associated with strong, longitudinally extended, quasi-simultaneous injections at geostationary orbit recurring every 2–3 h.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

THE SOLAR SHORE. “Steady convection intervals are periods of steadily southward IMF and steady, relatively slow solar wind flow that drive continuous, low-level auroral activity without evident substorm expansion phase activity.” (IMF= interplanetary magnetic field). https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

ALL OF EVERYTHING. “At the time of the big bang, the observable universe with an estimated mass-energy content of ~10(55) g was in a collective state of high energy density of mysterious origin.” https://lnkd.in/dhuDdqZ View in LinkedIn

DYNAMIC STATES. “The magnetospheric substorms and storms are the most commonly occurring responses to enhanced solar wind driving, but the magnetosphere can enter into a variety of other dynamic states.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

MIND IN SPACETIME. “Our galaxy of approximately 100–400 billion stars is only one of what has been estimated to be two trillion galaxies in the universe. Even if we assume one trillion galaxies, and that on average these galaxies have only one billion stars each, this leads to a low estimate of one billion trillion stars in the known universe. Contemplate the awesome reality of existence itself, and further that your mind evolved from inanimate matter as a result of a little less than 14 billion years of the natural history of the universe.” https://lnkd.in/d99G2yD View in LinkedIn
