The Solar Circuit (Back to Basics)

[Solar]

With that let the Investigator now look to what Nature has said. All one need do to garner further understanding as to *some* of the workings of the currents and “fields” is rename some of the features recognized to operate in one’s very own body in the form of Impulse Currents and Oscillating Currents. Study also:

The Propagation of Action Potentials

See the “Active regions” as those regions wherein stars and galaxies form along the filament as they interact with the ‘external environment’ of ‘electric potential’ constituting, or analogous to the “extracellular fluid”. The later would correspond to the local interstellar medium. See the Myelin Sheath as those periodic regions along the filament wherein the filament ‘membrane’ separates the current channel from losing its energy to the ‘external environment’. Stars and Galaxies form along the length of a filament being then at the ‘node’ of bidirectional “local current loops” which ‘meet’, ‘transition’, and form the various ‘surfaces’ or ‘layers’ of the solar atmospheres as they course over it. The equatorial regions being those formations (current sheets) where the “Injection” of ‘field energy’ through the interchange known as “charge exchange” occurs with said external environment.

Note also the “Equivalent Circuit Model” as that which is the mechanical circuital expression of Nature’s existing electrical dynamics. Science didn’t invent electricity; it is trying to describe an already existing dynamic. What other interesting thing is also noticeable? In image ‘B’ the alternating green and yellow background colors along the length of the filament form ‘standing waves’ as a result of the longitudinal spread of current flow. These are “striations”, sometimes referred to as Langmuir waves in plasma, which appear to take the form of ‘waves’ or oscillating pulses along the filament length. These “electronic currents” indicate the “electronic spread” and will decay with distance from the voltage injection(s). These are different (smaller scale dynamic) than the regenerative currents induced by “action potentials”. One other thing to notice is that with the “striations” and the ‘beading’ that can occur along the length of the filament only a single filament is present and this also occurs with ‘beading’ along a lightning channel. That would seem to have interesting ramifications for “jets” and/or possibly for the formation of stars (resonant "current loops")

The flow of electrical current along a cylindrical nerve axon has often been compared with electrical flow through an undersea cable. – Propagation of Action Potentials

What undersea cable? The very same undersea cables for which the Telegraph Equations (Weber/Heaviside) where written to remedy the decay of propagating signals. It wasn’t until Heaviside decided to wrap them (and they were subsequently twisted) in an insulating sheath in order to prevent all of the energy from being distributed into the ‘external environment’ that success came. Realize that the nature of the currents is to propagate, this has significance. There exist that phase wherein the currents are “regenerated” to continue their propagation and some currents are ‘non-regenerative’. If you look at lightning in slow motion these two forms of currents are visible as some lightning channels flash, then go "dark" and will flash again. Other lightning channels won't.

Also observed with the propagation of action potentials is what?: that various forms of charged specie are involved just as the various forms of charged species that have been detected in the heliosphere are involved in local electrodynamics; not just electrons. It is as short sighted as the “gravity only” universe to run around in an “electrons only” mode of thinking.

So, when considering electricity in The Cosmos and Nature don’t just look toward traditional mechanical circuits. Consider the circuital ways and manners that Living Systems utilize electricity and interrelate these as well. The nervous system of the human body undergoes its own electrodynamics and it is more than probable that in doing so it mirrors the larger scale 'Aether-Electrodynamics' of Nature and the Cosmos within which it is integrated using Impulse Currents and Oscillating Currents. To me, you can toss out almost every relativistic cosmological mathematical astrophysical construction just by studying the electrical dynamics of the human body in relation to the electrical dynamics of The Cosmos.

Hopefully the scope of that relationship, if studied, can provide another glimpse of the Naturally occurring electrodynamics that *ALL* the developers of EM Theory were, and still are, trying to understand.

[seasmith]

That relationship (an electrical integration) occurs periodically along the filament axis as ‘beading’ with quadrapole phenomena; not just the dipole - and galaxies. The dipole along the axis for which the currents propagate longitudinally, the dipole along the equator (spiraling current sheets whether Sun and/or Galaxy) which is that integration which conjoins the proximal to the larger field (distal).

Solar, good clear and concise summaries, per usual. If i may just add a lexiconical footnote:
As i think you've implied above, for e~filament kinks or beads to achieve some electric stability and persistence,
quadrapolar becomes hexapolar, in Nature.

Hi Solar,

Did you have a post earlier that is no longer here, just recently I can remember reading a post of yours
about the local bubble, fontal protuberances, core issues, and ending with a question about particular
stars. It was there right, I'm not starting to imagine posts that aren't there?

Hmmm.. have had lots of discussion on the local bubble and Loop 1 Bubble first mentioned in this thread (here)

Very interesting subject and OP, it is broad ranging and I got quite entertained with the "conjugate"-
frame of looking at "things". The story painted of the local neighbourhood and subsequent scale-levels
of view, might be a proper inspiration for someone with video-making abilities to try to show, at the
hand of the various images present in the referenced papers, how the different levels are related. It is
so much information, that it would be a great to see it in video-form as visual-tool.

Agreed. Radio scintillations, the detection of various species from surrounding media, thier preponderances, the IBEX Ribbon, the permeable - or porous - heliosphere, Gould's Belt, galactic chimneys, galactic plane blowout and dusty filaments from galactic center both of which extend into the halo would make for interesting graphical presentation for some contextual reference. Even if roughly done it would be helpful to present some of those dynamics as opposed to the constancy of "mergers" and static 2d resolutions. I refused watch the television series "How the Universe Works" and/or the more current "Cosmos" because the title of the first was far too hubris laden while the second seemed far too typical from the commercials alone. Something more sensible, with evidence and docs incorporating the 'view' of the Milky Way from assessments made by references in this thread (and a few others) would be more informative.

I will await you reply on Kiwi's post, as I believe, some parts of your story have yet to presented.
Some ideas are popping up though, but my mind is in need for just a little more agitation.

Cheers!

A rough outline of Synthesis 5 is in the works. I just need time to get to it.

It’s clear that “they all” didn’t even bother reading the comparative analog of referenced circuital electrical relations in the nervous system of living entities with that of both cosmic and typical mechanical circuits in order to further infer waves in a medium which has been intentionally left to the reader to extrapolate on on their own, using their own version of a fundamental essence, in their own minds, and own their own terms. It’s an example of typical flat 2D thinking (if that) especially in light of the fact that one of them began a thread which likewise refrains from naming ‘It’ (here).

To recap: this thread begins with a modest attempt incorporating referenced docs from the literature to trace a potential ‘solar circuit’ from the local to the galactic scale (pg 1 – (here)).

1- A specific question was asked by Kiwi (pg 2 – (here)) regarding the neglected contributions of electrical pioneers to modern day atomic theory which also has referenced material and an effort is being put forth to incorporate the principles of those pioneers into the general approach of tracing the electrodynamics of a solar circuit because it is possible to do just that.

2- A third relation (here) can also be touched on as it also relates to the electrodynamics of field induced phase transitions – which can (and will) also be incorporated into overall assessments of circuital relations whether cosmic, nervous system, and/or mechanical circuits.

3- Like those who’ve read thus far I know precisely where this thread is at and it is easy to tell via comments who has actually read and given reflection to the concepts contained herein. The two subsequent questions being given consideration in relation to the overall electrical approach are not diversions. They are in fact quite useful and this will be shown. No, it is not necessary to name ‘It’ as this is left to the reader to reflect upon in their own terms out of respect and yes; there are those who are already quite aware of the inference and the concept need not be named. If someone wants to call that a “choir” then so be it.

There are two future post in the works (they're actually done but need review). I don’t want to post them haphazardly. One for the Hexagonal, the second for the Longitudinal. The later will showcase an experiment from which the reader (those who are actually reading) will find relevance across each electrical scale being covered here. I will only apologize for time constraints.

When you reference Eric Dollard as the only one building a tesla coil the way a tesla coil works without knowing about other peoples more exacting published work then I have to look at what is being posted with a grain of salt.

I own all but two docs (and others) on the page you’ve referenced plus one of their books, have read almost every free publication they offer and have been studying Aetheormetry for at least four years now. Its awesome for cranium cleaning imho; but that's just my personal preference. The AS2-11 doc on that page is one of my all-time favorites of theirs; it conveys a beautiful Cosmic scope. There are other docs and philosophical papers of the Correas that I enjoy of course but I simply can’t get enough of that one. It seems like every time I study it I learn something new. Other standard papers I read are gauged by their (as you know) high standards (if you get their docs) and I like the way they assess concepts, elucidate, and express things.

You’ve got something pegged incorrectly here. I’ve not once referenced Eric Dollard as “the only one building a tesla coil the way a tesla coil works…” neither do I consider him as being "the only" one. Eric's Official Website (using Eric P. Dollard) and a few other supportive venues, bill him that way so this has become attached to his legacy - but I’ve not said any such thing. Yes, I very much like his work and use it in conjunction with Aetherometry.

As a result of Kiwi’s question I’m trying to convey a Synthesis of Tesla, Aetherometry, Eric Dollard, “Electric Universe” to be succinct about it, and just to name a few sources. I think that this is possible. It’s something that I work toward and, for weal or for woe, I’m going to share a portion of that Synthesis in this thread as best I can before getting back to circuital relations of large scale structure. This because it speaks directly to what Kiwi inquired about: that certain 'Something' that has been trampled underfoot in favor of QM, QCD, Relativity, String Theory, SMoC and the like. But understand this: it will be done in such a way as to let individuals make up their own Mind because I have far too much respect for the MINDS on these boards than to think that I can just ‘tell’ them something the way scientism does.

So, as in the past, you will often see ‘thoughts for consideration’, or ‘some thoughts’ when I post (Not ‘laws y’all need to be aware of’) as I prefer to see individuals putting the dots together themselves. It doesn't matter who puts forth any type of an "electric universe" hypothesis of any type; without incorporating the Fundamental Esse that interconverts into "electricity", regardless of name, such a hypothesis has left something behind or simply reimagined 'It'.

Agreed

Quadrapole

Across the spiraling arms of galaxies and/or across the heliospheric current sheets of Stars bidirectional discharges are occurring along the equatorial plane. As referenced earlier they took a cross-section of the disk, they sliced the current sheet in half from top to bottom like slicing a pie. Upon peering into its thickness they discovered:

… two distinct structures with circular cross sections during mid-2012. These cylindrical current sheets were centered near the heliographic equator and separated in longitude by roughly 180° a corresponding four-sector polarity pattern was observed at Earth. Each cylinder enclosed a negative-polarity coronal hole that was identifiable in extreme ultraviolet images and gave rise to a high-speed stream. The two current sheet systems are shown to be a result of the dominance of the Sun's nonaxisymmetric quadrupole component, as the axial dipole field was undergoing its reversal..Evidence for Two Separate Heliospheric Current Sheets of Cylindrical Shape During Mid-2012

They saw the cylindrical current sheets (tubular filaments) as extensions of coronal holes containing the fast solar wind within the equatorial current sheet. These larger scale currents might extend out into the ‘external environment’ as the Sun’s reactive counter-flow to sunward bound ‘input’ from the external enviroment. They reference “the Sun's nonaxisymmetric quadrupole component “. The equatorial filaments are a smaller scale version of the spiral arms of a galaxy which, along with the accustomed north/south dipole, go to form the quadrapole moment. That also speaks to this:

Starburst Galaxy M82

It was member Junglelord who long ago, and regularly, first described the example above as a moment of quadrapole simultaneity containing both ‘Z’ and Theta while also recognizing and incorporating the Ampere/Tesla Longitudinal aspects. Nonetheless, the physics is well aware of the quadrapole and the hexagonal magnetic field.

The analog of electrical activity in living systems is still appropriate here so take a moment to apply some fundamental concepts from the following video on the Propagation of Action Potentials in the human body to what may also be occurring in relation to the propagation of electricity along cosmic filaments themselves. Also consider the simultaneity of the external field permeating the current channel along its length altering the electric balance until thresholds are reached. Two phases of propagation are highlighted in the video linked at the top of the page:

Watch the Propagation of an Action Potential

The second stage of the video showcases the periodic arrangement of the Myelin Sheath with the Cells of Ranvier. In this analog it is at these Cells of Ranvier where the electrical interaction involving the 'input' of "field potential" is most powerful. The current channel is directly exposed to 'field input' at such locations and the relationship may be said consist of the accustomed 90 degree relationship. Between each section bidirectional 'current loops' are formed. This is what gives a filament the regular intervals wherein stars are observed as though beads on a string. The investigator will need to recall this periodic arrangement of current loops to further convey the concept of Longitudinal Propagation in a subsequent post.

Hexagonal Configuration

Here are two areas of science for which the hexagon is an observable electrodynamic effect during field-induced phase-transition. It is important to retain the concept that this configuration occurs during phase-transition as it speaks to the ongoing cyclic interconversion of ‘external field energy’ towards the cycle of becoming the epiphenomena called “particles” , which themselves will then likewise radiate “field energy” as a part of that cycle:

Item #6 and Fig 2: 6) Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments have recently revealed the existence of a field-induced phase transition from hexagonal to square in HTSC (Fig. 2), indicating the coupling of the vortices to some in-plane anisotropy (SC gap or Fermi velocity?). At higher temperatures and fields, the vortex lattice melts into the so-called vortex-liquid state. - High Temperature Superconductors

Here what was said: “…the coupling” of what “vortices”? What “lattice”? What “field” are they referring to? They watched as the hexagon evolved into the quadrapole moment (“square” configuration) via the application of field energy.

Ferrofluids exhibit a wide range of very interesting lines, patterns, and structures that can develop from ferrohy-drodynamic instabilities.[61] Figs. 4 and 5 illustrate the ferrofluid hexagonal peaking behavior resulting from a magnetic field perpendicular to the free surface of a ferrofluid layer.[1,75,76] The peaks initiate when the magnetic surface force exceeds the stabilizing effects of fluid weight and surface tension. In Fig. 6, the gearlike structure results from the radial perpendicular field instability when a small magnet is placed behind a ferrofluid drop confined between closely spaced glass plates. – Ferrofluid dynamics

The second explanation above of “a magnetic field perpendicular to the free surface” appears to explain the quandary in the first reference above it of “some in-plane anisotropy”. All the while Saturns hexagon remains an Unsolved Mystery.

Is Saturn’s hexagon a giant convection induced monopolar (north pole only) Benard Cell? At another scale could it be that solar granulation are the result of the breaking up of the solar magnetic field into “lines of force” as the magnetic field intersects the Sun’s liquid-metallic surface perpendicular to it as exemplified with Ferrofluids? When the physics looks at solar granulation some of the works include this line of sight (LOS) perpendicular viewing geometry. The physics does make note of hexagon solar granulation and their relation to the Sun’s magnetic field:

"Additional theoretical calculations imply that these hot magnetic structures correspond to individual magnetic flux tubes", says Dr. Andreas Lagg from MPS. They are the building blocks of the solar magnetic field. In the photosphere, their magnetic field lines lie perpendicular to the Sun’s surface -- like tubes. – SUNRISE reveals sun's magnetic building blocks

Overall portrayals of the magnetic field dipole roughly take the shape of a Spider. However, the magnetic field ‘subdivides’ into several “lines of force” (striations) around which current “streams” of charged particles “flow”. The magnetic fields are not “static” as graphic portrayals of an overall dipole configuration usually show when sprinkling iron filings but constantly reconfigure along with the currents that accompany them. So when looking at a flat 2D image of solar granulation there is a line of sight viewing component, a line from your eye into the screen that is looking through a myriad of invisible “lines of force” for the sun’s magnetic field.

It seems to me that the interaction of Ferrofluids, perpendicular magnetic fields, and the hexagonal pattern form an analog of solar granulation. The interplay of double-layer surface tension along the horizon of the surface with magnetic field perpendicular to said surface is inducing a phase-transition which means that there should be some ionization occurring. They see “bright points” or “point-like brightenings” called Ellerman bombs.

With a different scale configuration the hexagon appears as eddies, or anti-vortices, during the interaction of RF induced field input, along the equatorial regions of an analogous heliospheric current sheet. These regions are anti-vortices in the “field” such as displayed below within the “boundary” from the Plasma Crystal experiment. The anti-vortices providing the hexagonal relation are formed by the dynamic intersection of equatorial dipole and the familiar axial dipole with the energy of the field potential 'curling'. As the energy Moves through the process of integration the anti-vortices will change to the “square” configuration. The vortices are seen to form below just outside the boundary at 45 degree angle to the 'cross' of the quadrapole.

Konstantin Meyl works with Tesla principles and refers to these anti-vortices as "Potential Vortex" meaning the electric field potential is not static but can undergo vortex dynamics of opposite polarity to normal Eddies:

As a point of discussion we put forward, that in the field of electro-magnetism two dual vortex phenomena with opposing properties crop up. In materials of good conduction current vortices can build up, which are equivalent to the fixed vortex and expand in the same way, also known as skin effect.
Ampere’s law and the law of induction in their original formulation will suffice as a mathematical description.
The vortex counter to that forms in media of weak conductivity, in the so-called dielectric. We will focus entirely on the newly introduced potential vortex. – About Vortex Physics and Vortex Losses

So yes, hexagonal magnetic polarity configurations occurring in Nature with solar granulation, Saturns' north pole, 'Something' has even informed the not so lowly Bees who have a fetish for making their hexagons "perfect".

Understanding Longitudinal Force
(or trying to)

There shall be no mystery offered herein. Everything spoken of is in the scientific literature in one form or another or, having been excluded, neglected, and/or overlooked by official sources, the knowledge still lay in the history of the earliest developments of EM Theory and Telegraph Communications.

Unfortunately, Tesla's physics is mired in a lot of confusing interpretations and it can be difficult to sort the wheat from the chaff. There are some serious minded individuals who research and experiment with the nature of Tesla’s work and it’s up to the Investigator to integrate the relationship of Tesla/Ampere physics with what is generally subsumed under the term “electricity”. Anyone’s proposition of an “electric universe” that neglects the forces worked with by Tesla/Ampere is, imho of course, lacking.

As stated earlier, for my own personal preference, I look at this more from the perspective of a Synthesis of the various principles, concepts, and ideas subsumed under the broad term “electricity” that are scattered like buckshot across the scientific landscape and outside of its boarders. A Synthesis; as opposed to the easily observed constancy of tit-for-tat ‘My this; is better than your that’ provincialisms.

Some of the venues that are a part that Synthesis are Nikola Tesla, concepts from early pioneers in the electric science like Steinmetz, “Electric Universe” (*the concept* easily observed in Nature), Aetherometry, Eric P. Dollard, Konstantin Meyl. Onward.

Traditional physics tries to constrain Tesla concepts to terrestrial stationary surface waves in the same way that Birkeland currents are constrained to those currents which flow along geomagnetic field lines; by definition. However, there is more to it than this when these are extended to a Cosmic perspective.

I am not producing radiation in my system; I am suppressing electromagnetic waves. –Nikola Tesla

For some unusual reason the principle expressed above has caused all hell to break loose. What is this Longitudinal (or “scalar” force) that Tesla differentiated from the Hertzian electromagnetic waves he sought to “suppress”?

The difference is that "transverse waves "along a string occur at right angles to the direction of propagation. However, the Longitudinal Force occurs parallel to the direction of propagation as a type of periodic ‘oscillating compression’ and relaxation. Matter can be energized by this Force and when that is done the matter tends to 'bunch up' in certain patterns with 'spaces' for the "field" in between inducing striations.

The “electric field” is a Longitudinal Force: “an electrostatic wave must be purely longitudinal. An electromagnetic wave, in contrast, must have a transverse component, but may also be partially longitudinal.” - Wiki. The Telegraph Equations treat the propagation of this Longitudinal Force parallel along a length of string or wire, as an “rod’ with undulating compressions and relaxations occurring parallel along its length. See the following (page 31):

Longitudinal vibrations of a free elastic Rod…

The two circular shaded areas in the graphic (A, B) represents the cross-section of a length of the string, wire, or rod. In the lower graphic they are labeled (A’, B’) to indicate that B’ has oscillated (or propagated) in the forward direction. All this means is that when ‘tubes’, wires, strings (aka waveguides) are placed end to end along a length something of their makeup will ‘oscillate’ (or pulse) to-and-fro parallel along that length - as ONE LENGTH. In this all too familiar graphic the Longitudinal Force is the "line" indicating the direction of propagation itself. That "line" is not just an arrow pointing somewhere. It is a Force.

Longuitudinal

Once transverse waves are reflected in a circuital relationship by a given circuit element they can superimpose and convert to oscillating Standing Waves. It is VERY easy to think that the standing waves in the water of that video are moving in a direction. They are not. The whole of the water in the tank is oscillating. The oscillating wave energy is passing through molecule to molecule – by FREQUENCY i.e. rate of vibration or oscillation. Thus “electrons” are sometimes considered to collectively oscillate to and fro while the frequency of the wave energy and wave speed of the electric field is simply ‘transmitted’ through their collective behavior.

“Striations” (linear and/or spherical wave patterns) observed in plasma are “oscillations of the energy density in the direction of the wave spreading”. Sound is said to work Longitudinally through the gaseous medium of the air:

I showed that the universal medium is a gaseous body in which only longitudinal pulses can be propagated, involving alternating compressions and expansions similar to those produced by sound waves in the air. – Tesla

An example:

Figure 3. A dust acoustic wave propagating in a plasma shows up in a video image of light scattered by dust clouds in the plasma. The bright bands are compression wave fronts. Ordinary plasma waves in dustless plasmas cannot be visually imaged in this way. The wave is essentially a sound wave in the charged dust component of the plasma. (Adapted from A. Barkan et al., Phys. Plasmas 2, 3563 (1995).) – Dusty Plasmas in the Laboratory, Industry, and Space

Possible Example 2: Neon Lamp Traces sound wave’s Picture (Sep, 1950)

That which propagates in the “field” Itself stimulates the species in the media to emit Light. As a result of being so stimulated the species in the plasma have reached certain thresholds above and beyond their “ground state”. Light is the ‘release’ or the ‘shedding’ of the excess "kinetic energy" absorbed from the field relative to their “ground state”. By the time the observer sees Light, the stimulus has already passed.

It is said that the “field” exist as “potential” i.e. “electric potential”. This has been made analogous to a bunch of boulders sitting on a hill ready to do work. There are plenty of individuals not only wondering ‘Where’ those boulders are but also wonder if those boulders constitute their very own “stuff”? As powerful as they may be Tesla, said “I am seeking to suppress electromagnetic waves”. It was at Colorado Springs when the realization came that the rumblings of a distant storm still affecting his equipment must indicate that ‘Something’ was ‘standing’ behind those EM Waves whether terrestrial and/or Cosmic:

When we raise the voice and hear an echo in reply, we know that the sound of the voice must have reached a distant wall, or boundary, and must have been reflected from the same. Exactly as the sound, so an electrical wave is reflected, and the same evidence which is afforded by an echo is offered by an electrical phenomenon known as a "stationary" wave—that is, a wave with fixed nodal and ventral regions. Instead of sending sound-vibrations toward a distant wall, I have sent electrical vibrations toward the remote boundaries of the earth, and instead of the wall the earth has replied. In place of an echo I have obtained a stationary electrical wave, a wave reflected from afar.

Stationary waves in the earth mean something more than mere telegraphy without wires to any distance. - THE PROBLEM OF INCREASING HUMAN ENERGY

Oscillations/Impulses propagating Longitudinally in the “universal medium” by way of frequency similar to the way Sound propagates have been demonstrated before. The following video will demonstrate the principle again. It is rare to see a qualified demonstration of this so ENJOY as the “retarded wave” of the electromagnetic spectrum is “suppressed” while the Longitudinal Force, the medium – the “stuff” of the “electric field” is accentuated:

***Superluminal Scalar Waves for Communications***

Listen to what the Conductor says: “There is another wave which by many are not accepted as being existing however, it has been proven more than once” (…)

Faraday Cage: “The mesh structure has length and the transvers magnetic field propagation has a wavelength. So when the mesh is smaller than the wavelength of the transverse magnetic radiation the field is shielded.

The mess becomes all of a sudden, a width of the molecule or atom length: In order to penetrate a metal container I would have to use a frequency on a subatomic level if we propagate by a transverse magnetic radiation.”

“… because the propagation is not transverse it is longitudinal there is literally a point reference which is so sharp and so detailed that anything else cannot compare to it. Like laser beams or whatever you want … and because it’s not transverse transmitted there is no [retardation]; I’m talking about the speed.” - The Old Scientist

This is the nature of pulsed phenomena. You hear a steady tone through the radio EVERYEHERE without loss or distortion even while the radio is in nested Faraday Cages. “NO CURRENT” of “light speed” limited Hertzian EM variety are propagating therein. There is only the Longitudinal propagation of frequency injected into … into what? As is usually reasoned one cannot have a standing wave frequency radially propagating ‘IN’ or ‘through’ - “nothing”. ‘Something’ has to sustain the radially propagating frequency tone of those waves. What is That? What do you consider the 'carrier of the frequency' to be since the EM Waves were "suppressed" by the nested Faraday Cages?

In the earlier referenced video on Action Potentials the periodic (discontinuous) spiral wound Myelin Sheaths along the length of the axon current channel is a premier expression for the efficiency of sequential longitudinal propagation or “spread” of oscillating currents and impulse currents along a filamentary type of electric current.

Thus observed are the Myelinated Axons constituting Tesla oriented “fixed nodal and ventral regions” with “spark gap”- like Nodes of Ranvier occurring at discreet intervals (recall the “rods” of longitudinal propagation). This facilitates electrical interaction via external input from the “charge” of the external environment (extracellular fluid on the one hand - Interstellar medium in space on the other). The propagations are described as “leaping” That is an arc. Regeneration of the “potentials” occur at these “nodes”. Not in areas that are sheathed but at the “nodes”. Thresholds are reached; then bidirectional discharges occur. The currents “spread” through the current channel and they do so "without decrement”. An uptick in the voltage via this interaction regenerates the currents.

Is that, or something similar, what *may* be occurring (here)? Are the stars strung along that filament exhibiting Node of Ranvier type electric dynamics at regular intervals? Does the periodicity along the filament length itself function as analogous to Myelinated Sheath ‘protecting’ the Longitudinal “current spread” through the channel? All the while in the ‘background’ across vast distances might a “universal medium” longitudinally carrying so very many unique frequencies within said “medium”? Might stars collectively and resonantly oscillate Longitudinally and thereby 'transmit' energies far across space? Might galaxies and their clusters dolikewise?

To me, as demonstrated with the Superluminal Waves video, it is THIS “medium” that is being Pulsed by Stars providing the illusion of “action-at-a-distance”, and it is This “field” that is ‘absorbed’ and interconverted into “kinetic energy” by all “particles” as “charge” as well as being configured to their internal motions.

Nonetheless you get to decide. Though some things are stated as fact these are thoughts for consideration extrapolating on experiments long ago demonstrated by Tesla/Ampere with contributions from a great many others obviously.

It is my opinion that a “universal medium” is desperately needed in the Continuum that this Universe must surely be and all EM Phenomena garner their puissance from such a medium. The ‘haze’ of EM Phenomena has become a miasma preventing the eyes from seeing what is there. Once the noise, (and it is a type of noise relative to the harmonic nodes of the ‘background’), of EM Phenomena is “suppressed”, just as Tesla sought to do, just as in the Superluminal Video the Presence of ‘Something’ – the magnitude of which is able to oscillate, or reverberate - is revealed.

This is the vantage point from which I view some of these phenomena and the variety of theories that accompany them. It is only through consideration of a “universal medium” that “cascades” into a multiplicity of ‘’objects’, ‘phases’ and phenomena that the whole of EM Theory progressed in the first place. Sure, the focus has been on Aetherometry, Eric P. Dollard, some Konstantin Meyl, and Electric Universe (*the concept*). Tesla’s work and concepts heavily influences the experimental foundations of first three therefore they MUST infuse the conceptual basis of the last regardless of who is positioning an EU hypothesis of any kind imho.

To Kiwi the answer is yes, just as the above Superluminal Experiment demonstrates unsung contributions to modern theory by early electric pioneers have been overshadowed. The principle behind the Superluminal Experiment Itself was demonstrated by Tesla lighting bulbs placed in the ground some 25 miles away by tuning the equipment to the injected frequency of the ground based version of Longitudinal standing waves decades ago. Is the principle applicable in Astrophysics? I think so.

The rest is up to each individual to assess for themselves how the Tesla/Ampere Longitudinal Force fits into their conception of an “electric universe”; if at all.
