OMNIVOROUS CREATURE. “The magnetic field exists in the universe as an ‘organism’ feeding on the general energy flow from stars and galaxies.” https://lnkd.in/eYiqnNnc View in LinkedIn

LIVING MAGNETISM. “Magnetism is a little bit like a living organism, because magnetic fields tap into every free energy source they can hold onto and grow. They can spread and affect other areas with their presence, where they grow as well.” https://lnkd.in/eMptbniD View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE for this and next weekend focuses on cosmic magnetic forces, and some of the astonishingly strong sources of this pervasive field. Here is a thumbnail primer on the enormous relative magnitude of the values (in G Gauss) you will see: Earth 0.6 G, Jupiter 10 G, Small permanent magnet 100 G, Ap Bp stars to 25,000 G, Strong electromagnets 10,000,000, Magnetic white dwarfs to 30,000,000,000 G.

Spring had brought rain and warmer weather and with it the profusion of plant sperm and egg anticipating the next generation. 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
