Supernova remnants align with the Milky Way.

Recently, astronomers found a connection between what they refer to as supernova remnants (SR) and the rest of the galaxy. When data from several instruments was inserted into their computerized model-maker, it was found that bipolar SRs, in particular, are those that will arrange themselves non-randomly.

As the announcement states, most SRs are double-lobed, meaning that they possess twin emissions from each side of their axes. The majority look like two funnels, or two bubbles, connected with a central star. Since those strobilate figures all appear to be randomly oriented with respect to each other, the research team decided to compare them with the galaxy’s magnetic field. To their surprise, the lobes match the Milky Way’s electromagnetic field.

An important commentary offered by the journal, Astronomy and Astrophysics is “…some insight into the nature of supernova remnants and…the galaxy’s magnetic field…this research helps astronomers understand how cosmic rays can journey to us…”

Magnetic fields are more easily detected then electric charge flow, so astronomers believe that those magnetic fields are “primordial” fragments left over from the Big Bang, since “electricity in space” is not in most astronomical lexicons. Moving charges constitute an electric current that generates magnetic fields, an idea born before Michael Faraday’s time. When more charged particles accelerate in the same direction, the field gets stronger.

Charged particles must move in a circuit, therefore the effects from electric circuits must also be considered. The consensus viewpoint sees isolated celestial objects in space, so they are puzzled or surprised. Electric Universe theory emphasizes connectivity with an electrically active network of Birkeland current filaments.

Those filaments, as previously written, expand and explode, throwing off plasma that can accelerate to nearly the speed of light. The bipolar outflow from opposite poles of SRs can emit X-ray frequencies and sometimes gamma-rays. Plasma science and not gas kinetics, gravity, or particle physics is the governing principle.

A Picture of the Day about Galaxy M51, otherwise known as the Whirlpool Galaxy, discussed its magnetic field, along with a cloud of high-speed electrons, extending more than 40,000 light years away (as astronomers measure distance) from its center of mass. The magnetic field and cosmic rays (electrons) appear to be denser in the galaxy’s spiral arms, an observation that supports Electric Universe theory. Consensus science has difficulty explaining galactic magnetic fields (and cosmic ray electrons) because no electrical entities exist to create that magnetism.

The same confusion holds true for supernova remnants and other nebular formations. No electromagnetism, no electric fields, and no motor-generator effects are included in their calculations, and those calculations are not able to predict the observed magnetic fields.

Almost every body in the Universe displays some kind of filamentation, or bubbles, or striations, or knotted, ropey emissions. All those filaments are Birkeland currents. Every element in a galactic circuit radiates energy, and it must be powered by its coupling with larger circuits. The extent of those larger circuits is unknown, but the orientation of the observed SRs with the Milky Way points to an invisible “wiring” that links everything together.
