It
is important for people to understand the electrical connection
between the Earth and Sun. When I tell people that it is the sun
that is the source of the strange weather we have been having,
I get a puzzled look in response. I can tell that people have
a problem equating and linking the two. It's easy to understand
why. We are here and the sun is out there. How can something out
there cause changes here?
Simple electricity
is the key to the understanding. The same science we use everyday
to generate power by the use of alternators, generators, transformers,
radio and TV are the same forces at work between the Earth and
Sun. I think people can more easily understand and make the connection
when the phenomena is explained in electromagnetic terms. Particle
or quantum physics is just too complicated for the average person
to completely understand. It never stops. Every day a new and
smaller particle is discovered. The action and interaction of
particles and anti particles fills volumes of literature. Only
the most learned can understand. Is the universe really that complex
or is it our concepts that make it appear so?
Concepts play
a key role in our understanding of the universe. The process of
learning is really a process of exchanging old concepts for new.
For instance, the concept of space being empty and nothing. This
must be replaced by a another concept of space being a something.
The universe is filled with an invisible fabric. It is not a something
as can be explained as a rock or a tree because it is not composed
of matter. It is not a aggregate of particles. This something
is unexplainable in terms of matter. Yet, it does exist. The proof
is in the propagation of radio waves. A radio wave is not matter
yet it moves through space. If not matter then what? A wave? A
wave in what? You must have a medium for the propagation of waves.
A wave has no existence apart from the medium through which it
travels. Therefore, space is something through which waves can
be generated and travel. A great mystery, yet we use it everyday
in our cars and listening to the radio and watching TV. All of
these devices operate on the principal of electromagnetic waves
traveling through space. We just take it for granted. Size and
distance does not matter. The principle is still the same.
The sun is
an electromagnetic transmitter surrounded by a powerful magnetic
field that reaches to the end of our solar system. The activity
of this transmitter sends waves and oscillations through surrounding
space in the form of light and radiation. Electromagnetic pulses,
charged particles and plasma clouds surrounded by their own magnetic
fields are sent racing outward from the sun bending and reshaping
both the sun's and the earth's magnetic fields. The earth is orbiting
around the sun following the curvature of space caused by the
sun's magnetic field. We are literally immersed in the magnetic
field of the sun.
The earth
is composed of mostly iron and other electrically conductive substances.
Add to this the conductivity of the ocean waters and you have
an excellent conductor of electricity. This makes the earth an
electromagnetic receiver and transformer. It responds to the magnetic
field of the sun by producing a voltage or electric current. Very
similar to many electronic devices we use everyday. Examples would
be radio and television. A modulated electric voltage is transformed
into radio waves and broadcast through space at the speed of light
by a transmitter to a receiver where it is transformed back into
a modulated electrical voltage. Another example is the automobile
coil that produces thousands of volts of electricity through induction
caused by collapsing a nearby magnetic field. And still another
example is the electric generator that spins a magnetic field
through a nearby field coil or conductor and produces an electric
current.
These things
are basic to the principle of electricity and magnetic fields
and as such are universal in application. This means that the
same laws as applied to local electrical phenomena must also be
applied to the universe at large. With this understanding we can
grasp a more complete and yet more simplistic understanding of
the universe around us. Trying to understand the universe in terms
of quantum physics is like not being able to see the forest for
the trees. Let us first grasp the whole forest and later explore
the individual trees.
