MONSTROUS VALUES. “Over astronomical dimensions the magnetic field takes on qualitative characteristics that are unknown in the terrestrial laboratory.” https://lnkd.in/eYiqnNnc View in LinkedIn

THE WORLD AS MIND. “I seem to feel Napoleon’s influence on our quiet evening in the garden for instance — I think I see for a moment how our minds are all threaded together — how any live mind today is of the very same stuff as Plato’s & Euripides. It is only a continuation & development of the same thing. It is this common mind that binds the whole world together; & all the world is mind.” (Written by Virginia Woolf when she was just 21). https://lnkd.in/edRJJw6u View in LinkedIn

DRIVING COSMIC ACTIVITY. “The presence of a weak field causes a small amount of energy to be diverted into generating more magnetic field, and that small diversion is responsible for the restless activity in the solar system, in the galaxy, and in the universe.” https://lnkd.in/eYiqnNnc View in LinkedIn

ANALOGY. “A resemblance to temperature in figure 4 is easy to see in solutions to the heat equation…but where temperature originates in linear interactions, the information structure is characterized by something else.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

THE NEXT POSTS are taken from a vast authority in the field, the late E. N. Parker, from his remarkable book, Cosmical Magnetic Fields: Their Origin and their Activity. https://lnkd.in/eYiqnNnc View in LinkedIn

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
