Imaginary Magnets

“Magnetar” By Ryan Bliss

There are no “super magnets” in space without powerful electric discharges.

The standard model of stellar evolution proposes that pulsars are neutron stars rotating at incredible speed. In 2006, PSR J1748-2446ad was reported to spin at 43,000 RPM—the blades of a kitchen blender do not exceed 30,000 RPM.

According to conventional ideas, a neutron star is born when a star with sufficient mass collapses at the end of its life cycle. Since the star’s gravity is so intense, it cannot resist the compression, so its electrons are squeezed into the nuclei that make up its structure. It can become as small as 100 kilometers in diameter, but it can weigh 10^12 kilograms per milliliter. As the star contracts, angular momentum increases, resulting in rapid rotation. If the star is large enough, it can become a “magnetar”.

Magnetars are usually classified as “X-ray pulsars” or “soft gamma repeaters”. As conventional theories argue, they are created when neutron stars reach magnetic field strengths measuring over 10^15 Gauss. Earth’s magnetic field is about one-half Gauss, so these “magnetic pulsars” are surprisingly powerful sources. The evidence is indirect, however; no neutron star has ever been seen.

Magnetic fields in a magnetar becomes focused at each pole, creating a narrow beam of radio waves shining like the twin beams of a lighthouse. Rather than relying on kinetic energy, Electric Universe advocates assume that the oscillations in pulsars are due to resonant vibrations in electric circuits. Electricity stored in double layers is responsible for their energetic outbursts.

A double layer is defined as “…an electric charge separation region that forms in a plasma. It consists of two oppositely charged parallel layers, resulting in a voltage drop and electric field across the layer, which accelerates the plasma’s electrons and positive ions in opposite directions, producing an electric current.” [Ian Tresman: The Plasma Dictionary]

Pulsars are most likely immense concentrations of electricity being focused by some kind of “dense plasma focus” effect. The dense plasma focus device provides the mechanism by which cosmic electric currents can influence the evolution and morphology of space structures [See Peratt, A. L. and Dessler, A. J. “Filamentation of Volcanic Plumes on the Jovian Satellite Io.” Astrophysics and Space Science volume 144, numbers 1-2, May 1988, pages 451-461].

Electric Universe author and speaker Professor Donald Scott addressed the neutron star/pulsar issue this way:

“One of the basic rules of nuclear chemistry is the ‘zone of stability’. This is the observation that if we add neutrons to the nucleus of any atom, we need to add an almost proportional number of protons (and their accompanying electrons) to maintain a stable nucleus…The stable nuclei of the lighter elements contain approximately equal numbers of neutrons and protons, a neutron/proton ratio of 1. The heavier nuclei contain a few more neutrons than protons, but the limit seems to be 1.5 neutrons per proton. Nuclei that differ significantly from this ratio SPONTANEOUSLY UNDERGO RADIOACTIVE TRANSFORMATIONS that tend to bring their compositions into or closer to this ratio.”

Magnetars are another imaginary construct created by astrophysicists trying to explain energetic events without considering electricity.
