Cosmic Catastrophe

[oil pan 4]

What's concerning is the Carrington event made no detectable change in carbon isotopes.
So these could have been x10,000 class flares.

So, with no change in carbon isotopes, there was no change in Earth's exposure to cosmic particles, and heliosphere was working as normal?

The Heliosphere was a lot better protected 160 years ago.

* Neutral atoms will stream in regardless of whether or not the Heliosphere is there or not.
* Same for intersteller dust.
* Even during solar senescence, there's still a solar wind, albeit weaker, but strong enough to form a barrier to weak intersteller plasma.
* Relativistic velocity Galactic atomic nuclei will be influenced even by a weak solar wind.
* Cosmic particles arriving at Earth's magnetospheric boundary would increase in a weakened solar wind.
* Cosmic particles already affected by the Interplanetary Magnetic Field ( Galactimagnetosphere ?) would not be affected by a change in the solar wind.
* We're routinely bombarded by cosmic particles and they may have played a crucial role in biochemistry and the beginning of life.
* Heck, Earth's hit by thousands of fast radio bursts every day and nobody knows a thing about them. Maybe they 'boom-boxed' our RNA and DNA into existence!
* There's no correlation yet, to ascertain any Heliospheric / cloud condensation nuclei / cloud cover / albedo / solar insolation mechanism.
* There'd be more atmospheric nitrogen ions.
* As of 1989, the Sun's magnetic activity had increased by 2.3X, since 1901.

* Genetic mutations are a roll of the dice.

* www.sydney.edu.au: Strange radio waves emerge from direction of the galactic centre

Astronomers have discovered unusual signals coming from the direction of the Milky Way’s centre. The radio waves fit no currently understood pattern of variable radio source and could suggest a new class of stellar object.

“The strangest property of this new signal is that it is has a very high polarisation. This means its light oscillates in only one direction, but that direction rotates with time,” said Ziteng Wang, lead author of the new study and a PhD student in the School of Physics at the University of Sydney.

“The brightness of the object also varies dramatically, by a factor of 100, and the signal switches on and off apparently at random. We’ve never seen anything like it.”

Abstract Virtual Poster
We compare data from a pair of CubeSats in low-Earth orbit (450 km altitude) to data from large spacecraft in high Earth orbits to better understand how radiation from Earth's magnetosphere impacts the ionosphere and atmosphere. We put new results from the ELFIN CubeSats and NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale mission into context with previous observations of auroral energy inputs and show that during magnetospheric active conditions, radiation can penetrate much deeper into the ionosphere (D-region) and atmosphere (stratosphere) and levels exceeding that from auroral inputs at higher altitudes (E-region and thermosphere).

New paper out says endothermic transmutation with in a plant like the earth can create up to element 25.

[aerohead]

Best I can tell, endothermic is a solely a thermodynamic quality.
While transmutation is a radiogenic quality.
The two would have nothing to do with one another.

Best you can tell? oil pan 4 didn't offer the source. The journal is AIP Advances. publishing.aip.org/.../challenging-the-big-bang-puzzle-of-heavy-elements/

Researchers in Japan and Canada are now challenging a piece of the Big Bang puzzle. Do all of the elements heavier than iron really originate from stars exploding, or are some created deep within the Earth’s mantle, thanks to convection dynamics driven by plate tectonics?

They postulate that the 25 elements with atomic numbers smaller than iron (26) were created via an endothermic nuclear transmutation of two nuclei, carbon and oxygen. These nuclei could be confined within the natural aragonite lattice core of the Earth’s lower mantle at high temperatures and pressures during lithosphere subduction, which occurs when two tectonic plates converge.

The group describes the endothermic nuclear transformation process as being “aided by the physical catalysis of excited electrons generated by the stick-slipping movement of mineral compounds of geoneutrinos produced deep within the Earth’s mantle by nuclear fusion of deuterons or radioactive decay of elements.”

If I were to question it, I'd start with the elemental composition of planets without plate tectonic subduction.

They probably ought to call a geologist:
* tectonics doesn't drive convection. It only works the other way around.
* 'plates' can't exist in the lower mantle. It's all 'melt' down there.
* liquids cannot exert stress or strain energy.
* temperature and pressure is good enough to get diamond.
* it takes a linear accelerator to create a neutrino.
* cosmic neutrinos pass right through all of Earth's matter, making their passage a 'non-experience' for nearby magma. They'd have to prove some special physics for any so-called 'geoneutrino' to collide with Earth's matter any differently.
* all pre-solar system building blocks exist within the asteroid belt. Between rocky and metallic meteorites, we have a full accounting for all the elements which created Earth, Mars, and Venus.
Best I can tell.
* the most 'exotic' substance comes from the Apollo-15 CREEP basalt from the Moon, created 3.8-billion years ago, when a meteor swarm struck the lava lake which became a naked-eye, Mare Imbrium, as seen from Earth today. A very special shock-formed, yellow glass, unseen anywhere else in the Solar System.

1 yes
2 yes
3 no: ever hear of power steering fluid?
4 need carbon also
5 other processes operate.in sun to make them, accelerator is an earth requirement but nukes.work also
6 yup
7 so far
