Nope. Speaking the truth.
Nope you're just making it up as you go based on random website comentary, not relevant published materials.
Wrong. Induction is impossible.
Gee, I wonder why my car starts every day? Induction is "possible" in *any* conductor when change magnetic fields are introduced, and plasma is a conductor.
Only somebody with no idea about the subject would claim such a thing.
Only someone with on idea about *basic* EM field theory would claim that induction is
"impossible" in plasma or any conductor for that matter.
Trivially false. Alfven's explanation CANNOT REPRODUCE THE OBSERVED CHANGE IN MAGNETIC FIELD TOPOLOGY. How many times?
Trivially false because coronal loops move around all the time.
Wrong. It is MR. You obviously do not know what DLs are. It is the only explanation I can think of as to why you think DLs could possibly be mistaken for MR.
MR isn't distinct from flux+induction so MR is simply a redundant term whereas DL are a real physical reality.
Thankfully, nobody who is scientifically knowledgeable in the relevant area is claiming such a thing. You are on your own.
No, not on my own, but in the minority perhaps. All those knowledgeable folks can't manage to simulate a working corona in a lab, so I guess I don't mind being in the minority in this case. At least my beliefs work in the lab.
No, the problem here, Michael, is that you do not understand the science.
Says the guy who never cites any valid scientific reference in our debates, and who confuses theories with "facts" and confuses his own personal opinions as facts. I at least understand how to engage in an actual scientific debate and cite actual published papers to support me case. That's more that I've seen you do. All you cite are meaningless gibberish from random unpublished websites and repeat the mistakes you read there.
You have not read the papers, you have not replied to them, and you cannot quote a single scientist who is questioning those interpretations. You opinion is worthless.
Actually, I've read a *lot* of such papers over the last 10 years and a couple of textbooks on MHD theory too. My opinions work in the lab, whereas you can't even produce a simple corona or an aurora in a laboratory simulation based on MR theory. I'll take one experimental test over a thousand "expert" opinion any day of the week.
Yawn. You have not got a corona in the lab. Stop making things up.
I do and stop misrepresenting Birkeland's own statements! I quoted him from his book which you apparently never bothered to read.
And Alfven is clearly wrong.
In over ten years of debates, nobody has ever shown any specific error in even a single one of his 100 or so papers. You can't either.
Which is why not a single scientist is following his erroneous claims about MR.
False. Peratt still describes the same events based on double layers and circuit theory to this day.
Only you, and you do not understand the science. All you have is a vomit inducing hero worship of long dead scientists.
And I have laboratory experimental results that are a century ahead of MR theory and counting.
I love the hypocrisy factor of you appealing to authorities constantly, while accusing me of hero worship to citing Alfven. That's hysterical.
Lerner doesn't even have a PhD.
I'll take the guy with practical hands on experience any day of the week particularly when his ideas work in the lab, and yours do not.
I'll take real plasma physicists views over his weird, erroneous claims. He is a nobody.
We're all ultimately nobodies, so get over your egotistical nonsense already. Einstein was a patent clerk when he wrote the paper that won him the Nobel Prize. Who cares what you think of Lerner anyway? You can't even understand his papers properly!
Hahahaha! A rebuttal to a bloke who sees plasma woo in rock art? Who the hell would write that? From memory, such massive aurorae would increase the (Be?) content in ice cores. Is it there? Nah. Rebutted.
I really don't think you're capable of engaging in a real scientific debate because you never do. Instead you attack the *person*, not the relevant papers. You base you beliefs on random website materials, not published scientific papers. You never cite any specific scientific resource, just some random websites. You haven't "rebutted" anything in any scientific sense. I don't think you even understand what a scientific debate is supposed to look like.
Wrong. The change in MAGNETIC FIELD TOPOLOGY is seen in the lab,
So what if magnetic flux is seen in the lab? That's all a changing magnetic field topology is, *magnetic flux*. Insert that into a conductor like a plasma and you get induction. So what?
and in-situ.
You're still confusing "observation" with "interpretation". Sheesh. You really don't grasp the concept of a real scientific debate.
So please stop going on about things you don't understand.
You make false accusations and make false statements in every single post, including that last one. I obviously know a lot more about it than you do.
Yes there is. It seems that you are the only person on the planet who has a problem with it.
That's another false statement....not to mention a fallacious argument. Aristarchus of Samos was probably the only guy who had a problem with Ptolemy too, maybe the only guy in 1800 years for all I know, but he had the last laugh.
And your views are worthless, due to you not understanding the subject.
Not only do I understand the subject, I have working simulations to back up my beliefs, and my beliefs aren't multiple orders of magnitude short of a valid mathematical model to explain solar flares.
Nope. The interpretation of experts.
Those "experts" are a century behind in the lab and counting.
As opposed to the interpretation of someone who does not understand the subject.
Speaking about yourself again?
No he doesn't. Show me where Peratt claims MR is actually DL nonsense.
He wouldn't bother with MR, he'd just use DL's and circuit theory.
Yes I did claim precisely what Martin wrote. Stop making things up.
No, you kludged that too. Circuit theory isn't limited to plasma physics.
No, Michael. I have told you until I am sick to death of it - it cannot be induction.
It is absolutely possible to induce currents in plasma by introducing magnetic flux in the plasma.
Nobody is going to write a paper saying it is not induction, when NOBODY is claiming that it is.
You're claiming that it is *not* ordinary induction so let's see your lab work to back up that claim.
I referred you to a plasma physicist telling you that it cannot be induction.
The same guy that cannot produce a working aurora or corona in a lab, or come up with his missing math formula he and everyone else promised me 8 years ago? That guy?
The thoughts of an unqualified layman are of no interest.
Maybe not, but Alfven was no layman and he could explain solar flares without being off by multiple orders of magnitude.
Link to the science. MR is seen in solar flares. Tough. There is no other explanation.
Absolutely false. You evidently have never read Alfven's work on circuit theory and double layers for yourself, or you're intentionally misrepresenting it. Which is it?
Thus far I've seen you misrepresent Lerner's published paper with respect to his tired light predictions, misrepresent my published paper with respect to a *rigid* surface, misrepresent Birkeland's opinions with respect to his own lab experiments, and misrepresent Alfven's work entirely. Wow!
