2012 Doomsday - The Solar Conjecture - Is It Really The End?

Scientists using NASA's Swift Satellite have spotted a stellar flare on a nearby star so strong that, had it been from our sun, it would have triggered a mass extinction on Planet.

A stellar bang on a level previously unbelievable for anything other than a supernova recently erupted on a modest star (slightly less massive than the sun) in a two-star system called II Pegasi in the constellation Pegasus. According to a NASA-Goddard information release, “It was about a hundred million times more energetic than the sun's typical solar flare, releasing power equivalent to about 50 million trillion atomic bombs.” Were a comparable incident to occur on the sun, it would produce in a mass extinction due to the torrent of lethal X-rays. The NASA report, nevertheless, adds a reassuring observation: “Fortunately, our sun is now a stable star that doesn't produce such powerful flares.”

However this examination may seem a little less soothing when one realizes that, while astronomers speculate, they do not know what caused the incident. Stellar volatility, whether occurring as coronal mass ejections on our sun, the stellar flare of II Pegasi, or a supernova, pose numerous unanswered mysteries for astronomers simply because they disregard the electrical influences outside to the star in question.

The II Pegasi flare, though vastly more energetic than any recorded coronal mass ejection on our sun, created the same hastening of the ejected charged particles as was first observed in solar eruptions. It is a convincing pointer to the reality of a commanding electric field in the chromosphere, just above the star's photosphere. Such fields, driven by galactic circuits, are without difficulty able to speed up particles up to a significant fraction of the speed of light. The most striking example of this occurred on January 20, 2005, when the charged particles of a colossal solar eruption were accelerated along the spiral magnetic field between the Sun and Earth to velocities approaching one quarter the speed of light by the time they reached the Planet.

Particle acceleration is only half the story. Astronomers detected “hard” x-rays, which they euphemistically call “non-thermal” radiation. It is better recognized as synchrotron radiation, and it is only produced by electrons traveling at appreciable fractions of lightspeed in a strong magnetic field. It can be created in laboratories-with electricity. Gravity or hot gas doesn’t come close.

In disregarding the laws of electricity, physicists can offer no probable mechanisms of gravity or gas dynamics to explain such accelerations. They assume “non-electrical” mechanisms for celestial synchrotron radiation by extrapolating automatic equations far beyond the domain in which those equations have been experienced. They get away with this only because space probes can’t check on them.

High-force flares on the sun occur from the collapse of the current-regulating plasma sheath of the photosphere. The resulting "short circuit" causes the bright X-ray flash and acceleration of photospheric material in the powerful electricity field of the chromosphere. In the case of the II Pegasi detonation, the flash of X-rays was sufficient to overpower Swift’s X-Ray Telescope. In the calm Sun, this same field of the photospheric sheath accelerates protons into the halo, where they crash with the coronal plasma and elevate its temperature to millions of degrees.

The towering force of the II Pegasi flare is beyond the range of energies typically produced by gravity and gas mechanisms, but it is well within the range of electrical exchanges. Astronomers are surprised simply because they touched the “live wire” of cosmic plasma without donning the insulating gloves of electricity plasma premise.
