I have read about stars moving "between" arms, and see it again in this TPOD. My first understanding was that the rotation of the galaxy, at least out from the central chaos, was essentially flat, that star systems had the same angular velocities independent of their distance from the center of rotation. I also understood that the 'return current flows in from the galacto-spherical circuit along the arms into the center, at least in ellipticals and spiral galaxies. And that these bundles of Birkeland currents are what maintain the orderly alignment and keep stars from slowing down or speeding up, in addition to keeping them "lit up" electrically, like, as they say, "beads on a string".

Do the arms' currents move independently of the stars they serve? Do stars really drift into the emptier spaces between the feeder arms, or the arms drift past the stars? In that case, how do they stay ablaze with light, or do they fade out and "die"? I thought this might be interesting to discuss here.

*bump* It would be very interesting to discuss. I've been able to find much from EU/PC proponents on this, i'd really like to hear some Peratt on this. It would really help to visualize the galactic circuit, including how stars and their plasma cells operate with it. The questions you raise above i also ponder.

Do we have enough data or evidence to point us in the right direction? Or some insightful questions or potential ideas for investigation... hmmm

Indeed, someone need to elaborate on this, as I've seen both scenarios being briefly mentioned in various articles. Are stars somewhat uniformly distributed in the spiral galaxy, just being in glow and dark mode, depending on where the currents flow/rotate? Or are stars distributed mainly along these currents? The latter seems to be most in line with the PC/EU model, as stars are formed by Marklund convection along cosmic Birkeland currents.
