Alfven waves

*********************************

Definition:

Electromagnetic waves that are propagated along lines of magnetic force in a plasma. Alfen waves, named after plasma physicist and Nobel Prize winner Hannes Alfen, have frequencies significantly less than the ion cyclotron frequency, and are characterized by the fact that the magnetic field lines oscillate with the plasma.

Algore is on his way to fix this misbehaving Sun, and, and this Alfven will be prosecuted by the greeny environazi scientwists pouliiice.

I think I’ll ask the administration for a grant to build a rocket to go to the sun to get some of that energy and bring it back! Talk about alternative energy! ;)

[A. Morgan]

Let’s have NASA send AlGore up there to bring back all of the energy he can get! Once again, folks, AlGore can single handedly solve the energy crisis and Global Warming!

You realize of course, it’s only a matter of time before some smart aleck posts pics of Alvin (of the Chipmunks) or Corona beer. Or maybe Alvin the Chipmunk enjoying a Corona.

Interesting. Hannes Alfven was a proponent of the Electric Universe... and the Electric Sun. PING!

"Queen's University Belfast (QUB) scientists with researchers from the Universities of Sheffield and California State, have shed some light on why the corona, the region around the sun, has a much higher temperature than its surface - something of a puzzle to scientists."

Again, orthodox cosmologists are "puzzled" by something that is explicable by the Electric Universe model. Hannes Alfven, using the tenets of the Electric Universe Theory, predicted the existence of these "newly discovered" waves... which is why they are named after him.

Hmmmm. Isn't one proof of a Theory in how well it predicts future findings?

If you want on or off the Electric Universe Ping List, Freepmail me.

I know...and they’re freakin’ killin’ me.
