MAGNETIC SCULPTING OF THE COSMOS. “The tail radius and flaring angle (deviation from a cylindrical shape) are to some extent controlled by the interplanetary magnetic field direction, which controls the intensity of reconnection at the nose of the magnetosphere.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

BEYOND COMPUTATION. “There has recently been proposed a limit on the computational power of the universe, i.e. the ability of Laplace's demon to process an infinite amount of information. The limit is based on the maximum entropy of the universe, the speed of light, and the minimum amount of time taken to move information across the Planck length, and the figure was shown to be about 10(120) bits. Accordingly, anything that requires more than this amount of data cannot be computed in the amount of time that has elapsed so far in the universe.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laplace%27s_demon View in LinkedIn

MAGNETOSPHERE SIZE. “The size and shape of the magnetosphere is controlled by the interaction of the interplanetary magnetic field and solar wind flow with the internal geomagnetic field and the magnetospheric plasma environment. The size is largely controlled by the solar wind dynamic pressure, which is balanced by the magnetic pressure inside the magnetosphere.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

MAGNETOSPHERE SIMULATIONS. “However, even with neutral atom imaging, much of the magnetosphere remains invisible to our eyes and instrumentation. To provide conceptual and predictive models of the magnetospheric evolution, large-scale global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations have been developed.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn
