Is the Universe a Filamentary Self Organization of Plasma


What are your first impressions of this experiment; (video)



Dynamic Self Organisation of Ferrofluid

In this experiment Ferrofluid shows a continuos cycle of diffusion and concentration. Some thinner is added to a drop of ferrofluid which is on a dish over a permanent magnet. When spreading out, the thinner takes a low concentration of ferrofluid with it, too low to be bound to the magnet.

The flow is limited by the wetting border of the spot. Increased evaporation increases the flow towards the border. At the end of its way, the concentration of the fluid is increased by evaporation, in a circle around the centre.
Apply the above to plasma flowing outward along the vector field of a weakening magnetic field.

What related term does NASA use for this; FTE (flux transfer event)?




Magnetic Portals Connect Earth to the Sun -

"It's called a flux transfer event or 'FTE,'" says space physicist David Sibeck of the Goddard Space Flight Center. ...

Now lets look at this in two new ways…

Keep in mind plasma flowing outward along a weakening magnetic vector field with distance from the magnetic source…

On the sun side of planet earth do you have what NASA terms Flux Transfer Events as plasma reconnects with the sun completing an earth/sun circuit as depicted above, and on the opposite side of the planet a plasmoid is being formed in the magnetotail and reconnecting with the earth injecting plasma.

This process would be ongoing but exaggerated during a peak in solar wind.

This also explains what NASA refers to as foamy cells of plasma on the leading edge of the heliosphere as data from Voyager 1 and 2 indicate. They are not bubbles, but folding filaments with a larger plasma payload at the tip. This points to the plasma/electrical nature of the sun and external forces influencing solar cycles (as well as internal varaiations). An open loop system.

Using this approach there is no big surprise….

It's bubbly out there.

According to computer models, the bubbles are large, about 100 million miles wide, so it would take the speedy probes weeks to cross just one of them. Voyager 1 entered the "foam-zone" around 2007, and Voyager 2 followed about a year later. At first researchers didn't understand what the Voyagers were sensing--but now they have a good idea.
You would have the same filamentary plasma reconnections between galaxies…


On the facing side of the secondary galaxy you have what NASA terms Flux Transfer Events as plasma reconnects with the larger primary galaxy completing an galaxy/galaxy circuit as depicted above, Just as the Sun/Earth complete a circuit.


Again, using this approach there is no big surprise….

All interconnected…


This makes the universe into a filamentary plasma sponge.


Or to go biological a cologen matrix.

Neural Points

Neural Points a Third Point

Both cusps of the magnetosphere have Neural Points
The Open Magnetosphere




A feature of simple neutral points is that the magnetic fields flanking them have opposite directions (drawing). Field lines just inside the "nose" of the magnetopause point northward. On the other hand, at times when the IMF has a southward slant, as its field lines become draped against the nose (drawing) they have a generally southward orientation.


This situation is idealized in the image on the right, where the neutral point in the middle is assumed to extend in the direction perpendicular to the drawing, forming a "neutral line." Plasma flows in from the left and the right, and exits up and down. The flow is identified as a "magnetic reconnection" process because when lines "1" and "2" reach the neutral line, they change their structure--the two top halves join up and flow away, ultimately reaching the position of the line defined as "3", while the two bottom halves join up and form the line which later becomes "4" (more about reconnection in the appropriate part of


This can also bee seetween opposing poles of bar magnets in the dispersion pattern of iron filings.



However, the earth appears to have three neural points;

  • North Pole Cusp
  • South Pole Cust
  • Equatorial Cusp (Indian Ocean)


To take a closer look;


This third magnetic neural point allows solar plasma to pentrate deeper into the magnetosphere.

UCLA is aware of this for it comes out in plasma physics, but the plasma physics have not been applied to planet earth;

This neural magnetic point allows solar plasma to enter deeper into the magnetosphere during geomagnetic storms forming plasmoids (plasma pockets) that then travel eastwards seeking charge equalization.

Since the solar plasma contains aspects of the solar magnetic field once trapped inside the earth's magnetophere plasmoids move in a magnetic repulsive manner.

I suspect that during a geomagnetic storm this neural point's location shifts based on the magnetic field intensity exerted by competing poles during the geomagnetic storm, but generally stays along 90 degrees east longitude, simply changing latitude north/south.  This allows for plasmoid formation at different latitudes.
