I can't even look at the sun in high energy wavelengths and not see the electrical aspects of solar atmospheric activity. Why is the mainstream still peddling claims about "magnetic reconnection" when Alfven called it "pseudoscience" and it produces none of things Birkeland reproduced in a lab?

Das wäre ein unglaubliches Erlebnis, wenn man dieses Wunder der Natur in 3D sehen könnte! Wie denkst du, würde sich unsere Sicht auf die Sterne und die Energie der Sonne verändern, wenn wir sie so direkt erleben könnten?

Its differential rotation is fastest at the equator, causing twists and loops in its magnetic field lines. The strongest regions of magnetic activity migrate slowly from mid to low latitudes as the Sun's 11-year cycle progresses. This produces the "butterfly diagram" for sunspot latitudes vs. time

Very impressive video! It made me wonder: Is there more activity in the center? Or is it the angle of dispersion of the light that makes the poles appear 'less active'? Or, is the Sun similar to the Earth: hotter at the equator?

Explain the mechanism by which ionized hydrogen and helium can be "conscious". Your avatar is an airship, so you must know a lot about those gases? (While you're at it, explain why we've never detected any such property with the same materials under the same conditions in the lab).

💯 amazing. I didn't expect the Sun's Coronal Mass Ejection sites to be only close to the equator. The poles look tranquil. This concentrates the CMEs along the planetary plane, continuously showering the planets. Somehow, I expected CMEs in all directions due to internal reaction forces.

So this is what we've perpetually been waiting 20 years for? At last, a working fusion power plant, and only about 93 million miles away! Now if we could just safely capture some percentage of that boundless energy here on Earth (he says as he types this on a computer run by his home's PV system).

I want to know how honest someone is; "play a round of Golf with them", "everyone that played Golf with Trump already said Trump cheats or can't help himself because he's a big baby"! "that's why there's always a big baby balloon floating around or his hat is already marked 47 handicap"!
