Connecting The Dots

The title phrase received renewed acclaim when used recently by the 9/11 Commission to summarize why the intelligence community failed to foresee the intentions of militant Muslins fanatics. The phrase says that the several intelligence agencies each had information needed to produce an intelligent assessment of the Muslim fanatic plotters and their intentions, but the information held by those several independent acting agencies were not assembled, the contained intelligence was not revealed. Failure to connect the dots is not an uncommon occurrence especially in the arena of science where billions of dollars and enormous quantities of talent are being expended by a myriad of independent agencies to acquire information that is not being assembled to produce intelligent results. In this case, connecting the dots is exacerbated by an unsubstantiated biased conspiracy to deny proven truth.
For example, a case in point involves on one hand the decades long search for an understanding of the phenomena associated with the solar system. Considerable information has been collected but understanding has not been realized. On the other hand, relevant knowledge held by the Z-machine nuclear fusion research project at the Sandia National Laboratories would help those involved in the solar research if the dots were connected.
The Z-machine project employs a magnetic force field to contain and compress the heat driven explosive forces (plasma) generated by fragmenting a capsule of deuterium (hydrogen) in the quest to produce the release of nuclear energy through fusion as believed duplicates the process that takes place in the Sun. This project has revealed knowledge that a magnetic force field (that has no physical component) can effectively contain the heat driven explosive forces produced through release of the energy (that has no physical component) that binds the elementary particles of which the deuterium atoms are made. While the phenomena associated with the Sun, the solar wind and the interplanetary magnetic field are more complex, the knowledge gained with the Z-machine project helps with understanding when included in consideration.
The amount of heat generated in the Sun is massive and is believed to have been on going for several billions of years. The process involves the release of the energy that binds elemental particles in the assembly of atoms, which as it turns out is what we call heat. (Actually it produces the reaction called heat.) Suffice it to say that in the Sun enormous amounts of heat producing energy is released, which produces expansion of the atoms within which the heat producing energy takes residence to the point that the energy bonds that hold those atoms together are fragmented to release more heat. (The emission of this released energy as photons is a subject for separate consideration.) As a result, a point is reached where the heat retaining capacity of the atoms of which the Sun is made is exceeded. However, knowledge held at the Z-machine dot reveals that heat (released energy with no physical component) and the expansive forces associated therewith, are contained by the Sun’s own magnetic force field, which provides explanation for the heat laden Corona that envelops the Sun.
While the magnetic force field (with no physical component) exerts physical force to contain heat generated expansion forces, heat generated expansion forces (with no physical component) also exert physical force with the potential to overpower the magnetic force field, which explains the conclusions established by study of solar phenomena. Extensive study has concluded that a force called “the solar wind” is exuded from the corona area around the Sun’s equator and in the process, forces a corresponding “extrusion” of the Sun’s magnetic force field. (See sketch courtesy of NASA.gov that shows the Sun and planet Earth.) As a consequence, a magnetic force encapsulated disc of “solar wind” is produced that extends beyond the orbit of the most distant planet in the solar system. Understandably, as long as heat continues to be released within the Sun excesses would continue to be produced to keep the “solar wind” blowing as substantiated by those ongoing studies. With the Z-machine dot connected, it would be recognized that it is the physical force producing capability of the escaping heat producing energy known as “solar wind” that distorts the magnetic force fields of the planets of the solar system as shown by the sketch.
The dot-connecting problem as involves scientific matters is exacerbated by a denial that goes back to a reservation expressed in a 1693 letter of Sir Isaac Newton to a colleague Richard Bentley. In that letter Newton wrote; “It is inconceivable, that inanimate brute matter should, without the mediation of something else, which is not material, operate upon, and affect other matter without mutual contact: as it must do, if gravitation be essential and inherent in it.” While an understandable reservation at the time, subsequent knowledge, such as made evident by the Z-machine research, demonstrates without reservation that forces that have no physical component can in fact exert considerable physical force, even upon massive heat driven expansion forces that themselves have no physical component. This is knowledge that has been proven over and over ad nauseam especially as concerns gravity and electro-magnetism. It is that unsubstantiated biased disbelief that has precluded definition of the four mysterious forces to the consternation of Albert Einstein. That is why it is now more important than ever to connect the dots.
Newton’s inability to appreciate that forces and energies with no discernible physical component have the ability to produce physical force has become a stumbling stone in the community of Scientists, even those who profess faith in a divine almighty creator. The usual response is that belief in a creator of all things is limited to religious considerations, leaving freedom to believe something else when it comes to matters of science, which is classic relativism. Their denial is evident by refusal to acknowledge completely the first principle of physics that all things are made of atoms; that atoms are in turn an assembly of electrons, protons, neutrons and the energy that provides the force that bind those components to give existence to those atoms; that since all things are made of atoms, then all things derive their physical and behavioral characteristics, as well as their ability to behave, from the atoms of which made.
If proof of this argument is desired, a satellite to orbit beyond the earth’s magnetosphere can be equipped with a magnetic shield capable of being turned on and off. With the magnetic field energized, only the heat carried by photons would penetrate the shield. When turned off, the effect of the heat producing energy of the solar wind would be revealed. Incidentally, the heat produced in shuttle reentry is due to mechanical abrasion and not solar wind action.
