The Electric Climate versus Flat-Earth Science by Rolf A. F. Witzsche In the beginning... 1 - The Earth was thought to be flat... Contrary to all observed evidence and prior knowledge, the flat-Earth belief deemed science ruled the public's mind for centuries in a game of religious conformity that had become the Dark Age World of living in the 'small,' a house with boarded-up windows. 2 - Also, the Earth was thought to be the center of the universe... The 'small' is hard to step away from when it is required to uphold the hierarchal doctrine of a church that has become an empire. When truth doesn't rest on evidence, but on doctrine, society lives behind closed doors, because an understanding of the truth is required for any development in science. The desire to open the closed doors was kept weak in the dark ages of indoctrinated popular perception. 3 - When the real scientific age began... After centuries of being trapped in old beliefs the planet Earth was eventually acknowledged to be a small speck orbiting the Sun, and that the solar system is not the center of the universe, but a tiny part of it, afloat in a vast galaxy of many billions of Suns, which itself was eventually recognized as being but a tiny speck itself in a larger universe of countless billions of galaxies. But with this knowledge of the vastness of the universe and our tiny place within it, the status of the human being did not diminish. It became immense. The human being gained in dimension as mankind awakened and entered the complex domain and became at one with the universe. 4 - Today, the biggest challenge that we face is the old tradition that takes us back to the beginning... Evidently the old Flat-Earth-Society syndrome has not really been healed. We still live in a world in which 'inconvenient' evidence becomes routinely discarded in an effort to maintain established doctrines, the kind which institutions and empires have a vested interest in. 5 - We face a paradox in science that society seem unwilling to solve, even in the face of dire consequences... In today's world we have incredibly advanced instrumentation available for exploration, giving us tools that open windows to the universe that the ancients couldn't even dream of. We can now see things that in the Dark Ages nobody ever imagined. Ironically we don't believe what we see. Old 'myths' evidently are hard to put aside, which is a technology that we have yet to develop. But oh if we do, what joy we find as we make discoveries upon discoveries! For example, the ancients had once believed in a myth in which the universe was deemed to have been created a few thousand years in the past by the creative act of some deity. Today, the leading-edge myth isn't much different. In the modern myth the universe was created in a big bang a mere tens of billions of years in the past. We are still locked into a flat-Earth type of thinking that demands that the infinite must have had a 'beginning.' Can a universal principle have a beginning? While today's Big Bang myth is fast receding into the historic graveyard of discarded mythologies, other similar, already disproved myths, still rule supreme and are kept alive for certain political objectives. One of these myths pertains to the nature of our Sun. The myth of the fusion-powered Sun - The face of the myth Mankind's advance in the science of theoretical physics ushered in the age of nuclear power. We began to understand the makeup of the atom and what we can do to fission it in order to harvest the physical emery that holds it together so that we can power our industries with this energy. The breakthrough in science gave us the potential for an energy rich futures in a world were coal, oil, and gas are rapidly becoming too limited in supply to meet our growing present and future needs, especially considering that mankind will likely continue to live on this planet for many millions if not billions of years to come. Since nuclear fission power is also inherently limited we have discovered that we can power our infinite future with still another nuclear process, that of fusing two isotopes of hydrogen together in a high temperature plasma environment. This process has been demonstrated to be powerfully efficient, as the hydrogen bomb illustrates. The process is simple in principle. We use an atomic bomb to create the plasma environment to ignite the hydrogen bomb. One of the last tests of such a device vaporized an entire tropical island to a depth of several hundred feet below sea level. Thus, having demonstrated the principle of nuclear fusion power we immediately regarded the demonstration as proof that the same kind of process exists naturally everywhere in the universe and also powers our Sun. With this notion, the concept was born that our Sun, and every sun and star in the universe, is an endlessly self-regulating nuclear fusion furnace, burning up hydrogen. The whole thing makes sense, right? What else could power such a huge entity as our Sun that contains 99.8% of the entire mass of the solar system? The heat generated by its enormous gravity was deemed sufficient to ignite the fusion furnace at its core, while the immense gravity of the Sun would prevent the nuclear bomb within it from blowing the Sun apart. The generated heat would then work its way to the surface by means of convection currents, maintaining a surface temperature of 5,800 degrees Kelvin. The result is a nice, clean, simple theory, isn't it? For many people this theory was an open and closed case, and for many it still is. Besides, what else could power the Sun for billions of years, but an atomic bomb in its belly, continuously exploding, being nicely controlled by a self-regulating process? This sounds great, but it has the ring of a fairy tale. The universe has far more efficient processes going, and more elegant ones that open up a door for mankind to a near infinite future. Here, as we become evermore open to the heart of truth new discoveries begin to unfold. - There are many holes in the old theory Our advanced space-based instrumentation has discovered numerous pieces of evidence that simply don't fit the old theory, which thereby has become too small suddenly. The new pieces of evidence indicate that there is something false about the old theory. For example it has been discovered that the umbra of the Sunspots, the very center from which the Sun's solar fairs erupt, are 'dark' as shown below. The Sunspots are actually the coolest and darkest spots on the Sun, whereas they should be the hottest and brightest if the Sun was heated from within. (c) - sample from: The Electric Sun Hypothesis This simple piece of evidence forces one to completely rethink the hypothesis as to what powers the sun, because the neat fusion furnace theory simply doesn't fit the evidence. The story of the Sun being a constantly exploding hydrogen bomb sounds too much like a fairy tale where everything is simple and the improbable magically happens. There is another major piece of evidence that doesn't fit either. If the Sun was a giant nuclear fusion furnace heated from within, why would the Sun have a corona - a plasma mantle that encapsulates the Sun - extending far from it into space? The Sun's corona wouldn't exist if the Sun was a fusion furnace. It would have no business being there. But that's not what we see. The corona does exist, and it's existence is an enigma that forces a completely different model for the Sun onto the table, and also for the universe itself. We know from measurements that the Sun's temperature at the surface of the photosphere, the surface that we see glistening in the sky, is 5,800 degrees Kelvin. However, the temperature of the solar wind around the Sun increases rapidly all through the corona the further we get away from the Sun itself. For example the temperature of the solar wind starts at 5,800 degrees as it moves away from the Sun, but by the time it 'drifted' 100,000 km above the surface its temperature has increased to several million degrees Kelvin. And farther out still, at twice the distance of the Sun's diameter, temperatures of 200 million degrees have been detected. This increased heating with increased distance from the Sun wouldn't happen if the Sun was heated from within, but it does happen. So, where does the heat come from? It certainly doesn't come from the surface layer, which is by far the coolest layer of them all. And then there is the case of the missing neutrino emissions. If the Sun was a nuclear fusion furnace it should be a massive neutrino emitter, but this evidence isn't found. The nuclearfusion-furnace theory is full of these kinds of holes, too many to be listed here. The current general scientific practice is to patch up those holes with exotic theories for which no real evidence exists. However, there is a more elegant solution unfolding at the forefront of science, called the Plasma Cosmology. Here an entirely different perception of the Sun, our galaxy, and of the universe as a whole, has been emerging in the last 80 years. This theory not only makes more sense, but it also fits the observed evidence. While the new model is still being refuted right and left, it nevertheless solves all the problems that cannot be resolved under the old fusionfurnace model, which can only be made to work by resorting to fairy-dust science. And on top of it all, discovering the real world is more exciting than putting Band Aids on defective theories. What can be more exciting than living at the leading edge of progressive discoveries? Here begins the plasma evidence It is known, and measurable to some extent, and largely undisputed that the 99.99% of the entire mass of the universe exists in the plasma state, the 4th state of 'matter.' In addition to it existing as a gas, a liquid, and a solid, matter also exists as plasma. When seen as a gas, liquid, and a solid, our perceived universe of 'matter' is a universe 'created' by atomic structures consisting essentially of empty space that is dynamically occupied by electrically charged particles called electrons and protons, and also some neutral particles called neutrons. The electrons are negatively charged and are orbiting a tiny core of positive protons and an equally number of neutrons. In an atomic structure the positive and negative charges are held together into a single cohesive structure by the strongest force of the universe, that of electric attraction. This force is balanced by the centrifugal force of the electrons. However, the particles themselves are not made up of 'matter' either, but are themselves but various types of constructs of fast moving points of energy, called quarks. In real terms, the entire universe contains not a single speck of basic manner, so that everything is nothing more than a complex construct of dynamic points of energy ordered by an array of harmonizing principles interacting in an incredibly intelligent design. If a single one of these principles wouldn't exist, no atom, no planets, no world, and no life, would exist. The resulting high-level world that we live in is a world that is incredibly ordered. But in the subatomic world that we can't readily see, some different principles and different types of order come into place that are more basic, more universal, and more powerfully effecting everything, including the atomic world and above. That's the plasma part of the universe that makes up 99.99% of it. The plasma universe is a universe of ions. It is an electrically unbalanced world in which the particles are not bound into atoms, but are free floating, though retaining their electric charge. The plasma thus becomes as 'soup' of negative electrons and the positive protons 'hanging' around in space by themselves. The plasma world can also contain incomplete atoms (ions) that have electrons or a protons missing, thereby having an electric potential. Being electrically charged the plasma functions as a near perfect electric conductor that is capable of carrying large electric currents, as we see it in lightning bolts for example. Plasma, of course, is also is widely extensive. It extends throughout space, mostly in the form of free flowing electrons. It fills the space of our entire galaxy. It is deemed to encapsulate the galaxy into a vast, closed-loop electric circuit. In this vast sea of (electric) plasma our terrestrial world is located, including our Sun. Our Sun is understood as a ball of dense plasma with an extremely large positive electric charge. Naturally, the Sun, being positively charged, it interacts with the negative electric potential in the galactic plasma that pervades its surrounding space. Since electric attraction is the strongest force in the universe, almost infinitely stronger than gravity, an enormously strong electric current thereby interacts with the sun. This current is so great in close approximation of the sun that the plasma forms a double layer around the Sun, called the chromospheres. The double-layer plasma acts as a kind of buffer that builds up energy and then transfers this energy in a process of electric arcing onto the Sun's photosphere. (See: NASA x-ray image no sunspots) The process of arcing lets a 'small' portion of the ions from the photosphere escape, which then becomes the solar wind and plasma prominences. The solar wind accelerates into space, powerfully driven by electric attraction. If the solar wind came from explosions within the sun, its speed would diminish with increasing distance. Instead, its speed is increasing enormously. As the solar wind ions are interacting with other ions in the galactic plasma the solar wind lights up the corona. The Sun with its strong electric potential has an extremely intense plasma surrounding it, with enormous electric currents flowing through it that all ends up eventually flowing into the photosphere with the violent intensity of extreme electric arcing. The visible evidence suggests that the heating of the Sun occurs almost entirely electrically, and that it occurs right on the surface with the Sun acting as a giant anode. The principle of this kind of surface heating was easily observed in old radios, decades ago, of the type that were powered by vacuum tubes. It wasn't uncommon then to see the anode of a vacuum tube getting red hot when an overloading condition had caused larger than normal currents to flow within it. With the Sun being positively charged, thereby being an anode, one would expect to see its surface being 'spotted' with a vast sea of anode tufts that are related to high inflowing currents. And that is exactly what we see in the picture below, surrounding a Sunspot. A Sunspot showing the umbra, penumbra, and surrounding anode tufts - a representative sample from the website: The electric cosmos The principle of plasma arcing that causes the intense electric heating is being routinely used on Earth in electric-arc welding processes and in electric arc furnaces that are common in the steel industry. Evidence that the Sun's electric heating is the result of the same process and that its effect is just 'skin-deep' is evident by the lack of a nuclear fusion furnace underneath the Sun's glistening surface, so that the heating originates in the surface layer exclusively. The evidence for this fact is not only seen in the umbra. It can also be felt by everyone on Earth on a daily basis. The electric arcing that lights up the anode tufts on the Sun is being recognized as the only possible source for the intense ultraviolet light that causes sunburn injuries to many people on Earth. The intense ultraviolet light that causes these injuries definitely does not flow from the interior of the sun. If it were to come from within the sunspot umbra, that area would be immensely brighter instead of being darker. What millions of people protect themselves from each summer with ultraviolet-blocking sunscreens reflects nothing less than the evidence of intense high-current surface arcing on the Sun. Electric arcing has been routinely used in the past for health purposes on order to generate ultraviolet light artificially during the winter to prevent vitamin-D deficiencies. So it has been well known for a long time that electric arcing causes intense ultraviolet radiation. Plasma loops and surface arcing (image by TRACE 'Transition Region and Coronal Explorer' a NASA space telescope) Sunspots occur when the double layer plasma sheet surrounding the Sun gets overloaded and ruptures above the plasma loops, releasing a literal explosion of charged particles (the solar flairs) as they are 'torn' out of the photosphere, exposing the 'cooler' layers of the sun beneath it. Some evidence exists that suggests that a small amount of nuclear fusion reaction might be happening in the double layer plasma region above the photosphere, where the high energy levels exist that are needed to sustain nuclear fusion. That is where we find evidence of the 'heavier' atomic elements being created. Traces of sixty eight of the ninety two natural elements have been detected in the Sun's 'atmosphere.' This evidence takes us far beyond the simple hydrogen-fusion furnace model to a far more complex and efficient model that has large implications for us living in the Earth. Of course, what is presented in this web page is nothing more than an extremely simplified view of the electric-Sun model that has been developed over the last 80 years. (more of it can be found on the website: The Electric Sky) What does this tell us about our climate on Earth? It tells us that we are really at the mercy of the galactic processes and their variations which is reflected in various types of inconsistency in the heating of the surface of the Sun that our climate primarily depends on. We know from historic observations and other forms of evidence that large temperature variations have occurred on the Earth, some resulting in ice ages, some resulting in hot climates. We also know that ice ages have occurred during times of extremely high concentration of the so-called greenhouse gases, and that hot periods have occurred when these so-called greenhouse gases were low. All this tells us that our climate is at the mercy of the galactic forces that not only power the Sun, but also affect the plasma 'weather' of the entire solar system, which in turn interacts with the 'weather' of the cosmic-radiation background that bombards the Earth and affects cloud formation in the troposphere that affects our climate to a vastly greater degree than anything else does, up to 97% of it. Our solar system is really but a tiny speck in the galaxy, as are all the other solar systems. If we were to draw the solar system in its true scale on a piece of paper with the distance between the Earth and the Sun (93 million miles) measuring one inch, the finest dot that we could make with an extremely sharp pencil would then represent the Sun. The Earth would be too small to be visible (1/100th of it), located on an orbit 2 inches in diameter. Pluto, being far off, would be located on an orbit 3.5 feet in diameter, about as far as a person can reach across. All the other planets would have their orbits in the space in-between. On this scale the nearest star, the closes Sun to our own that is over 4 light years away, would be represented by another one of those faint dots that only a sharp pencil can make, and that dot would be four miles away. That is how 'empty' our galaxy really is, which itself is considered a moderately densely packed galaxy. Because the stars are so extremely small relative to their separation, the plasma flow in the arms of the galaxy remain relatively unaffected by the stars themselves, but not so by the surrounding solar 'weather' patterns. Galactic variances do happen. The disk of the Milky Way galaxy is a huge place, approximately 100,000 light years in diameter (100,000 miles on our model), and it is about 1,000 light years thick containing an estimated 200-400 billion stars (solar systems), which all have their own 'weather' patterns that interact with the galactic plasma. As the spiral arms of the galaxy rotate, minor changes in the plasma-flow pattern are believed to happen, similar to the moving shadows in a forest. In the middle of the last Little Ice Age, for example, a dramatic reduction in the number of Sunspots has been observed, called the Maunder Minimum. Now things are back to 'normal' (whatever 'normal is). The climate history of our planet also indicates that climate changes on our planet do not follow smooth patterns. We have seen large variances with sort-duration. We have also seen these patterns all the way through the ice ages. This kind of large, shortterm fluctuations that occur quite randomly, are hard to explain within the framework of the solar fusion-furnace model, but they do definitely appear rather 'normal' in the electric-Sun model. The electric model tells us of a vastly more complex universe of interacting forces acting on the Earth's climate than we could have ever imagined in times before our space probes and space telescopes enabled us to see things that no one had any reason to suspect in earlier times. Based on modern observations we can now speak in terms 'of a solar weather' with its own weather systems, such as that caused by solar flairs and magnetic storms that we now know shield the Earth to some degree from some of the cosmic background radiation that ionizes our troposphere and affects cloud formation and thereby the climate on our little planet. We know now from observations that the Sun's 'atmosphere' and its weather extends twice as far into space than the Sun's distance to Pluto. On our scale model where the sun is but the size of the faintest pencil point, the solar 'atmosphere' would represent a seven foot wide ball. While the closest ball in our ball park would still be four miles away, there are several hundred billion such balls in the galactic ballpark, all of them in motion, with some of them being thousands of times bigger than that surrounding our own sun. Our sun is a rather mediocre star in galactic terms. Some stars are 5000 times brighter than the Sun, each with a correspondingly larger solar 'atmosphere.' Their 'weather' patterns might represents huge balloons tens of thousands of feet across in our scale model ballpark filled with hundred of billions of such balls. In their multitude they do cast a fast sea of ever-changing 'shadows' on the fabric of the galactic plasma flows, and on the patterns of the cosmic background radiation emanating from those countless suns. All of these effects collectively affect the ionization of the troposphere on Earth which affects cloud formation and thereby the temperature on Earth. As the galaxy rotates these countless shadows in the plasma flow emerging from the galactic center may be of long or short duration. Some may be lasting for decades, come for centuries, and some for millions of years. Some have given us ice ages, and some have given us warm periods. Some of these might have brought the epoch of 'cool' climates to the solar system five million years ago when Antarctica began to freeze over, which will likely remain frozen until the shadows that have caused it pass by. Also there were evidently other shadows involved that gave us the more intense ice-age period, and the bright spots inbetween that we call the interglacial warm periods. Other galactic variances gave us the still shorter interglacial optimums that caused rivers to flow in Sahara, or lesser warm periods like the medieval optimum when vineyards were cultivated in Iceland, and the still lesser warm period that became the Little Ice Age around the 17th Century. See: The Electric Universe The Earth's climate has never been in a steady-state mode. We live in a galaxy of constantly changing shadows, some with small consequences for mankind, and some with huge consequences like during the ice ages of the last 2 million years. Nor do we have any reason to believe that these galactically modulated cycles will abruptly cease. See: The Coming Ice Age One related phenomenon that has been observed, which is closely related to the 'modern' Ice Age cycles is a 100,000-year cyclical shift of the orbital center of the Earth in respect to the Sun (part of the Milankovitch cycles). Considering the strong currents that are flowing in the galactic plasma that affects our world, it is not unreasonable to assume that the resulting magnetic variations might be responsible for the long term variations in the Earth's orbit that has a close relationship with the ice age cycles. Indeed far greater variances have been observed. With the galactic plasma being a 'jungle' of varying flow patters extremely intensive interactions have been observed in what has been called the nebula phenomenon. A nebula is believed to be a gas cloud of the hot remnant of an exploded star, the leftover of a Super Nova. But what keeps the remnant hot? In the Plasma Cosmology the explanation is simple. The Nova isn't deemed s super-explosion, but is merely an intense electric event causing an enormous corona that continues to be electrically heated by the strong electric currents that prevail in that area in space. See below. The point is, that if the ever-changing galactic plasma can produce such huge electric events, and sometimes quite rapidly, the variances that we experience are relatively minor happenings. In recent geologic history the Earth has gone through two major climatic steps in the opposite direction from what is shown below. Five million years ago the Earth suddenly cooled substantially, strong enough to cause Antarctica to become completely covered in ice. Then three million years later ( two million years ago) another step towards colder temperatures was taken and the cyclical Ice Ages began that are evident primarily in the Northern Hemisphere (as Antarctica is already frozen). It should be noted that the interglacial warm periods are actually the anomalies. They are giving us short periodic interruptions in the ongoing two-million-year Pleistocene Ice Age. And even within the glaciation part of the Ice Age cycles, sudden warm periods have been observed. For example, around 14,700 years ago, the climate suddenly warmed up by a whopping 22 degrees centigrade over a space of only 50 years, and then, just as suddenly the normal glaciation climate returned until 3000 years later (11,700 years ago) another sudden warming began that brought us into the Holocene interglacial period. These dramatic climate changes are the kind of variances one would expect in the plasma universe, even the extreme examples shown below, but they cannot be explained at all under the standard model. see: http://www.thunderbolts.info/tpod/2004/arch/040922electric-stars.htm Also see from Thunderbolts.info TPOD July 29, 2004: Arc Lamp in the Sky TPOD July 27, 2004: Stellar Nurseries TPOD Oct 06, 2004: The Iron Sun TPOD Oct 15, 2004: Solar Tornadoes TPOD Nov 03, 2004: Kepler Supernova Remnant The bottom line is, that if the galactic clock is right, the next Ice Age on Earth might not be far off, by which we will be forced to protect our agriculture with technological infrastructures that we must build as a substitute for the current warm interglacial climate. And that's no easy to do, but it is possible. See: Urgently Needed: An Ice Age Renaissance It seems obvious from all that our galactic environment poses some rather significant challenges, which should prompt us to support one another to meet those challenges, rather than cutting one another down in war. We are the brightest species of life on this planet, with capabilities that no other species has, to push back the affects of the coming Ice Age with resources built of the strength of our humanity. Shouldn't we develop those capabilities with love? While we cannot master and change the universe, we certainly can mobilize ourselves to become masters of ourselves in our responses to the universe. And that begins with opening our eyes to the universe itself, reflected in scientific honesty and a love for the truth. Here we run into politics If the electric solar model was accepted, including all that comes with it, then the dogma of manmade global warming would loose its last shred of credibility. Since this dogma is very much a part of the modern phase of the war of empire versus civilization, great efforts are being made by the empire forces to keep the global warming dogma alive. The global warming dogma is needed for imperial rule to control the world's economies and to break apart the institution of the sovereign nation state. That's a long-term objective in the quest for establishing a global world-empire with imperial dominance over all nations. Manmade global warming is one of the keys for opening the door to this inhuman and inherently fascist imperial world. This imperative might be one of the reasons why the electric model of the sun is being denied contrary to all existing evidence in support of it. It would certainly be easier to maintain the manmade-global-warming doctrine if the Sun could be acknowledged as a nice and steady fusion furnace causing almost no temperature variations itself, so that any observed warming on Earth would have to be manmade or else it wouldn't happen. The thereby hyped up fear of global warming is certainly a strong argument for wrecking the world's economies by curtailing mankind's energy use and preventing the development of nuclear power. However, should the truth become universally accepted that mankind has no effect on the global climate at all, that all climate changes are galactic in origin as they always have been throughout geologic history, then the war or empire versus civilization would loose one of its platform and the surge towards the coveted global empire would be broken, or at the very least it would be set back by a notch or two. In this manner politics still determines the face of science as in ancient times, except for the small difference in that religious dogma has given way to the modern phenomenon of fairy-dust science. See: No Manmade Global Warming While it is wise to be cautious in the use of our power as human beings in affecting the natural world in which we live, we need to be truthful with ourselves. Wisdom begins with truthfulness, especially scientific truthfulness, and that begins when we close the door to the rule of empire that routinely perverts the truth and turns science into a hired servant to underwrite its agenda. In the resulting environment of lies and the growing consensus supporting the lies ("In lies We Trust") mankind is deeply doomed. A house built on lies is doomed to fall. In comparison with this doom the changing physical environment that the dynamics of the universe bring with them, the only actual manmade factor that affects us is a factor that is primarily mental and perceptional. This factor however represents but a small challenge. As human beings we have the physical and technological resources developed to be able to now face the recycling ice ages fully prepared and with a laughter on our lips, saying "where is your sting?" But with our humanity being drowned in an environment of lies and conformity with the sophistry called 'consensus,' much of what we have built so far is presently doomed to fall by the wayside and become lost as much of it is already being lost in the evermore strongly unfolding mental ice-age of fascism, irrationalism, insanity, terror, disease, and poverty -- the ice age of empire. The Ice Age of Empire The ice age of empire got a big boost in the late 1960 and early 1970s. It started with the imperial declaration that mankind is a cancer on the Earth, followed up with policies of intention focused on having the cancer eradicated. The ice-age war of empire versus civilization started in 1971 with the wrecking of the Bretton Woods world-financial system. The wrecking was done under a policy of intention to loot the economies of the nations for the welfare of the private world-fincial empire. Three years later, in 1974, that policy of intention was intensified with a new phase of it, the policy to depopulate the Third World, which was put on the table with America's National Security Study Memorandum 200 (NSSM200) that was designed as a policy to preserve the raw materials of the Third World for the future needs of the unfolding world-empire. The Global Warming doctrine was concocted in the same year and largely for the same purpose. It is still being used as a battering ram against Third World development under the guise of carbon credit trading. In the same timeframe the infamous DTD ban was imposed that was designed to halt the elimination of malaria around the world. Likewise in the same timeframe the CFC ban was initiated that made life-saving refrigeration increasingly unaffordable in the poor nations. After that, within a few years, AIDS erupted, focused on Africa. It caused an immensely tragic wave of death that further wrecked the already looted economies of Africa . Virtually at the same time the insanity of deindustrialization was imposed on the West, even while its economies were already collapsing under the weight of the currency looting that the wrecking of the Bretton Woods system had enabled. Evidently, by its timing that puts the global warming doctrine smack into the middle of this ice age of policies of intention for economic suicide, it becomes evident that the global warming hysteria is not reflecting any astrophysical imperatives, but reflects itself as an interlocked element of the general flood of genocidal political demands for imperial objectives that were intensely imposed in the 1970s and 1980s, and continue to be imposed to the present day. The global warming doctrine certainly isn't an isolated thing in the political sphere, but is a key part in this sphere of a larger genocidal package for which a general consensus is now demanded across the world and for which science is perverted into fairy-dust plays to create and underwrite the needed imperial consensus. However, no matter how deeply the world is flooded with lies, and the lies are being maintained with consensus, the truth tends to come to the foreground as it always has. Just as the flat-Earth model was eventually rejected in the face of the growing awareness in society of the undeniable evidence to the contrary, which broke the religiously imposed consensus, so today's fairy-dust plays in science concerning the nature of the Sun and the universe will be cast aside. The face of the truth supported by monumental evidence simply cannot be ignored forever or be covered up. Another reason for hiding the plasma sun The reason might be the potential for an energy-rich future on Earth. TRACE image of plasma with temperatures reaching upwards to a million degrees While the immense electric power that results in the heating of the sun through plasma discharge arcing is a reflection of the Sun's large electric charge, the Earth exists in the same plasma-electric environment, although having a much lower electric charge. The large unfolding plasma filament above is 75,000 miles high (5 timed the diameter of the Earth). An electric discharge of this magnitude would incinerate our planet. Fortunately the mass of the Earth is 330,000 times smaller with a correspondingly less intense plasma field surrounding it. Nevertheless the vastly weaker plasma-electric potential surrounding the Earth might still be massive enough to power all of mankind's 'modest' requirements. It might yet become technologically possible to tap into the vast galactic energy storehouse that surrounds us, possibly by opening a plasma channel with a directed energy beam creating a conductive path, like controlled lightening, that extends all the way into the plasmasphere. The Earth and surrounding plasma in space While none of that seems presently possible, extensive research might open a way and thereby revolutionize electric power production and utilization throughout the planet and usher in a new phase of civilization, an energy-rich phase without empires. For as long as empires rule, this kind of potential will therefore be impeded by all possible means. Nevertheless the potential remains. In addition we have a large plasma current inflowing from the Sun in the form of highly accelerated solar wind. Rope-like structures have been observed by the THEMIS space craft cluster, of "twisted magnetic fields" the signature of the electric current flows entwined in plasma filaments that act as transmission lines carrying "field-aligned" currents across interplanetary and interstellar space. For the time being there is a faint movement afoot to use tethers trailing from spacecraft to collect plasma energy for use in spacecraft propulsion. One experiment apparently failed as the tether burned out in some places do to high electric currents flowing in it. Space-power harvesting might ultimately prove to be possible and be far simpler and more efficient than harvesting nuclear fusion power, which involves a complex engineering process. If there is a way to tap into the galactic electric flow, mankind will find it eventually if it keeps its mental horizon clear and open. A century ago fission nuclear power would have seemed miraculous. Now it is common place. We have entered an era of the application of new physical principles, principles that have always existed, but have never been discovered before or understood. This phenomenon that has become a feature of the modern humanist world will likely become common and together with many other things enable space-powered energy systems on Earth. The bottom line is that the future looks bright with unlimited potentials, even if those potentials still appear like science fiction dreams to those focused on flat-Earth horizons in their scientific perception. Orders of magnitude of increasing potential In energy technology Each step in the advance of energy technology gave mankind at least a ten-fold increase in energy density with a corresponding increase in mankind's productive power reflected in greater freedoms and higher standards of living. We stepped up in this manner from wood fuels to coal, then to oil and gas, then to fission nuclear power, soon to be followed by fusion nuclear power, with plasma power offering still another magnitude or two of increase in power density. Just as wood-fired power systems have become obsolete and useless, in like manner coal powered system will soon be discarded. Coal is already useless for most power needs, like powering airplanes for example. Oil will suffer the same fate when hydrogen fuels come on line, produced by nuclear power. A world without nuclear power is already unthinkable. The conventional power systems are becoming too limited and cumbersome, and too polluting in large scale applications. Even now, a future world without nuclear-fusion power is hard to imagine. But why should we have to imagine such nightmares when the technology is within reach to prevent it and another increase of one or two orders of magnitude is on the horizon of the next power develop built on new physical principles by tapping into the galactic potential. The universe is a hotbed of power that can be ours if we will but reach for it. In governmental-economic technology This natural increase in orders of magnitude in the beneficial power of advancing technologies is not limited to physical technologies alone. The same pattern has also been observed in governmental 'technologies.' The old empires, like the Roman Empire, were basket cases in terms of efficient governmental technologies. There was nothing there with which to provide the foundation on which a richly vibrant economy could develop. Their economic efficiency of empire in every case was on the negative scale. That is why every empire in history collapsed and all new empires will suffer the same fate. Empires are parasites with a lesser potential for civilizational benefits than a graveyard. The Golden Renaissance furnished the first major jump of probably a whole magnitude of increase in the power of a civilization to develop itself. Being built on the agape-principle and the scientific and cultural development of the general society, the Renaissance had the effect of turning slaves into human beings and children into geniuses. It made cities beautiful, and created architecture and works of art that are still admired. The next historic step upwards, by another order of magnitude in the increase of the power of governmental technology, was clearly the American System of Economy. It was so amazingly efficient in raising the standard of living and the productive potential of society that it became the envy of the world and was emulated in many countries. It was so efficient that it scared the British Empire to death as it were, which made enormous efforts to stop it and raised hell all over the world to do it. Eventually the Empire succeeded, but only by wrecking the American System from within. President Franklin Roosevelt revived it briefly, but when he died, it was put into the grave again with him and the imperial system of private monetarism was restored. Today, few people know what the American System was, or that it even existed. I have added a series of articles that explore the dimension of the American System. (see: The Historic 'American System' of Economy) Another step upwards will unfold in the future. It will take us forward by another order of magnitude in the increase of the power of governmental technology. However, this increase will require a corresponding increase in power-rich physical technologies. In order to increase the level of civilisation in terms of society's culture, physical freedom, productive efficiency, and so forth, the greatest asset that society has available to it will have to be developed to its utmost potential. And that asset is the human being itself, reflected in its intellectual power and power in scientific achievements. Right now much of the potential of that asset is wasted or even prevented from being realized. Much of it is wasted in the gutters of homelessness, the graveyard of unemployment lines, the battle fields of war. It is also wasted in the slums of sub-human living and in the ghettos of poverty called "education" that eat up the youth seeking a foundation for living, who end up being filled with imperial doctrines that are useless in the real world and come with a price tag attached that indentures them for life. The efficient development of the human potential of society would require a more human world with the kind of high quality and low cost housing that only energy-intensive automated industrial production can produce, creating the kind of living spaces in which a human being can flourish, spaces that are bright, spacious, beautiful, clean, and so inexpensive to produce that they can be provided for free to all who need them. Nothing is more expensive for society than poverty and substandard housing, both of which are utterly wasteful of the human potential. This horrendous expense can be eliminated with automated production of housing utilizing technologies of molten basalt that can be cast into moulds to create modular building units than can be snapped together like large plastic toys. Basalt is an ideal building material for that. It doesn't corrode, rot, wear out, and is stronger than steel by weight, and is nearly as hard as diamonds, and is a 3-times better heat insulator than asbestos is. And best of all, the Earth has 750,000 cubic kilometers of it sitting on the surface, enough to cover the entire land area of the planet several feet deep. All that is needed to utilize this resource for the greater benefit of society is the high-power energy input that advanced nuclear power, and more so plasma power, can provide. Still another order of magnitude in the power of civilization can be achieved with efficient education that is free all the way through, and accessible to all. The second-most expensive item for society is deficient education, and that means real education, the kind of education that develops the art of making discoveries of universal principles, of breaking the leading edge into the unknown, the kind of education that develops geniuses instead of saints to mediocrity. Beyond that there are a whole raft of increases possible in the power of civilization, such as efficient transportation of all kinds, efficient water supply and distribution systems, efficient cultural platforms with advances in music, art, literature, theatre, health care, and human relationships. Dysfunctional families, and deficiencies in all of these areas are hugely expensive to society as a whole. In terms of potential improvements, it seems we have barely begun to break the ice. But the key item for most of these developments, if not all of them, is located in breakthroughs in energy harvesting for electric and thermal power production. The development of plasma power would certainly usher in a new renaissance in this respect. There is one more thing we can learn from the plasma universe If the plasma universe reflects an efficient universal principle in its organization we may see in it a mirror of our own nature. The human being does not live efficiently in a lone and isolated existence. Just as the universe is bound into a single whole by its energy plasma, so mankind seems to be bound into one humanity. We have already discovered some parts of this humanist principle with the processes leading up to the Treaty of Westphalia in which we began to recognize our universal humanity and found value in acknowledging it. That wasn't a giant step in terms of what can be achieved, but it was a beginning. Many more such steps are possible that are footsteps on the path of exploring the Principle of Universal Love, Truth, and Soul. We are all human beings, and our greatest common good can be found in helping one another to develop our humanity. This doesn't mean that we must shed our individual cultures, but that we must uplift our cultures and enrich one another with them. This progressive unfolding appears to be our future, because its principle of progressive development appears to be the principle of all life and the universe itself. Whether or not we are ready to see ourselves in that role, the fact remains that we are offspring of the universe and thus reflect in our nature the key principle of the universe, the principle of progressive development. From all that we can see in respect to our potential for a bright future no real physical limits stand in the way of our infinite self-development should we pursue it. Only one factor stands in our way, and that is our own small-minded habits in thinking. But as human beings were are becoming more and more aware of those impeding habits and are on the road towards clearing up our act. The astronomer Fred Hoyle once wrote of the deadening effect of the herd mentality in his profession, saying: “The trouble with conformity is that the process has strong positive feedback. The baaing starts up at a volume low enough to permit stronger-minded animals to think for themselves without too much trouble. Progressively, however, we break down one-by-one, losing all power of sensible judgement, to the point where we can do nothing but add our own baaing to the uproar, which eventually rises to such monumental proportions that nothing remains for the flock except the butcher's shop.” See: Holoscience - Black Holes Yes, the principle of universal unity as a single humanity can have a homogenizing effect that becomes mired in the cellar of all that is small, baneful, and frightening. Being swept into this cellar with the flow of the dead from the flat-Earth society may seem like an acceptable way to go for a society to is taught to go along to get along. Except this leads into a dead-end ally. The freedom of mankind lies not in the cellar of consensus where few have the wisdom to escape from and in which most die. The freedom of mankind lies with the rebel reaching for the stars, the dissident spitting at mediocrity, the revolutionary who dares to open doors that no one dares to touch, the pioneer who finds the sunshine of discovery more exiting than spending his life locked into the coffin of games. "The most merciful thing in the world" wrote someone who understood the game of the coffin, "is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but someday the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality... That we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.?" - H. P. Lovecraft Sometimes it becomes necessary for society to look at the coffin before people realize that this is not the place for a living human being to be in, like the coffin of computer games that profit the players nothing but steals their life. I like to think that we in the modern age are at the point of waking up to that tragedy, because it appears that one by one the trapped are beginning to rouse themselves and step out of the coffin. Like the prisoner in Plato's story of the cave, who escapes the cave that has been his world, and the only world he knew, who finds the real world agonizing at first, those who step out of the coffin will like the prisoner from Plato's cave invariably find joy in the sunshine. Here is how a scientist has put it: Typically, the greatest difficulties in communication will occur when one is questioning something already "known" to be true. On matters of underlying principle, the confidence behind established ideas can be so high that discussion itself may seem quite senseless. This difficulty is aggravated by fragmentation of the process by which information is gathered and evaluated. The terror Lovecraft envisioned is only the first rush of uncertainty, when ideas long taken for granted are thrown into question by facts and simple reasoning previously ignored. The "piecing together of dissociated knowledge" will only require us to confront the deep contradictions in things experts have long claimed to know. With the courage to see clearly, the adventure itself could well be "the most merciful thing in the world," adding new insights into the greatest dramas of early human history and vital perspective to humanity's situation in the cosmos. Lovecraft did not realize that the "terrifying vistas" are but a mirage seen through an open door. The truth is always unified, and as such it can only be friendly to those who seek the truth first. As we pass through the door, it is not fear that goes with us, but the exhilaration of discovery.
