Mystery of Earth's radiation belts solved

Van Allen belts accelerate their own particles rather than just trapping them.

The two concentric rings of high-speed particles that encircle the Earth are finally giving up the secrets of their origin — 55 years after their discovery. Two NASA probes have found evidence that the Van Allen belts, as the rings are known, are responsible for accelerating the particles, rather than collecting energetic particles that originated elsewhere. Space scientists think that their latest findings1 could also account for the even more energetic belts circling Saturn and Jupiter, as well as high-energy radiation associated with worlds beyond the Solar System and even some Sun-like stars.

For several years after 1958 — when space scientist James Van Allen and his colleagues identified the radiation belts that now bear his name, using instruments aboard the first US space mission — researchers theorized that the rings’ electrons came from distant reaches of Earth’s magnetosphere, the bubble of space dominated by the planet’s magnetic field. They proposed that as the particles drifted closer to Earth and encountered stronger magnetic fields, they would accelerate and settle into a ring-like configuration.

But this type of acceleration process would take days to weeks and best describes radiation belts that vary only gradually over time. In the 1990s, satellites began to reveal that the energy and density of the Van Allen belts changed more quickly. As a result, a competing theory for the origin of the belts' electrons began to take hold: that charged particles do not come from afar, but are produced locally, when electric fields within the belts rip electrons off from wandering atoms and accelerate those electrons to nearly the speed of light. This process could alter the density and energy of the belts on scales of seconds to hours, a theory that matched better...

So we are clear.

My post #8 began with “I must add”, Add to what ? My post # 7.

Torus energy Etc...

Which is and extrapolation on Van Allen made by Thrive and others;

These groups, in turn take this and suggest virtually every living thing has or generates their own “torus” or energy and some call it “aura”.

This concept is used to promote “spirituality”, which groups all religion as the same, and seeks to advance “peace, love and understanding”, which may sound great, but puts the “created” above the Creator.

As a result, the natural extension of this thought process, we get people that bow to “Mother Nature” and ultimately find God in themselves. This is straight out of Buddhism.

Sadly, there are millions of people that have been conditioned to group ALL religions as equal without any critical thought. These groups, exploit this tendency and in order to keep them from exploring the truth, they introduce any number of “conspiracies”.

New Age is nothing new.

A weekly journal of Christian liberalism and socialism titled The New Age was published as early as 1894;[13] it was sold to a group of socialist writers headed by Alfred Richard Orage and Holbrook Jackson in 1907. Contributors included H. G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw, and William Butler Yeats;

This movement was and is all about the destruction of GOD.

Fast forward as evolutionary theory envisioned by Darwin loses its credibility, they have introduced ET. Literally, saying that we are here as the result of “Ancient Aliens”.

None of this of course is provable, so they use the seemingly unlimited possibilities and the mystery of “Quantum Physics” to support their positions. In order to maintain the movement however, they NEED to invoke “Conspiracy”.

The conspiracies run the gamut, from Government, big business, big oil, one world, 911 truthers, free energy, crop circles and alien encounters to name a few.

The two critical components of their efforts are “relativism” and “uncertainty”.

Take some time and examine both the New Age and Humanist movements.

In my observation, the “New Age” tends to want to avoid the history of the “Humanists” since the humanist manifesto has been published and is therefore exposed to examination.

The humanist cause is very well documented and has it roots in Darwinism, Eugenics and John Dewey, the father of our educational system.

The New age “spiritualist’s” would rather not be defined so they operate in the metaphysical realm.

I’m surprised you don’t know this.

I know more about it than you do and your blatherings aside they have nothing to do with science and the Van Allen belts
