http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/data/realtime/mdi_igr/512/Hey, cool picture Walter, where'd you get it? It's the only image of the sun I've ever seen with zero spots on it. Is there some site where you can get daily images of the sun?

Do you have any friends with at least a high school education? I ask because a high school education is all one would need to pull apart the nonsense you are posting. This leads me to believe that you are having us all on here and you know very well the stuff you are writing is garbage. Dexter probably has the best education in the sciences of any of us here and I admire his patience dealing with the junk you are throwing at us. I won't bother anymore.
What we don't understand about the `origin' of the sun spots is the exact magnetic structure interior to our beloved star.
We understand perfectly what is going on: a magnetic flux tube is breaching the surface of the sun and pulling hot plasma with it.
Ah, quotes taken out of context by reporters. By, "The origin and stability of sunspots has been one of the long-standing mysteries in solar physics. I am delighted to see that with SOHO we are beginning to crack this problem," Fleck is merely drumming up support for his project. What we don't understand about the `origin' of the sun spots is the exact magnetic structure interior to our beloved star. We understand perfectly what is going on: a magnetic flux tube is breaching the surface of the sun and pulling hot plasma with it. Did you know that sun spots always occur in pairs?
Sun spot intensity is periodic and that they migrate from the poles down to the equator and vanish? This is shown by the typical butterfly diagram. Even this phenomenon is well understood and explained by the magnetic flux tube model.
A rather famous picture of a typical solar mass ejection makes this phenomenon quite apparent. You can easily see the structure of the flux tube and the fact that the hot plasma is bound to the magnetic field lines.
The real universe is far more amazing then the whitewashing of smoke and mirrors. It need not be whizz bang boom: magic.
Solar Activity Diminishes; Researchers Predict Another Ice Age![]()

there are some "interesting relationships we don't fully understand" between solar activity and climate.
I love Medeival Science - if you throw a witch in a lake and she floats she's a witch, if she drowns she's not- I'm pretty sure I'm right about this. Maybe we can get Harley to volunteer?
And you think yours isn't? You offer claims and arguments from the supposed authority of a 1400-year old religious text that are demonstrably false in the light of modern science, yet you cling to them as if your life depended on them, you simply discount all evidence and argument that shows how wrong you are, you twist and dance and misunderstand and misinterpret and invent various fictions, and apparently deliberately choose not to understand what anyone's tried to tell you in any of your science threads. You still haven't grasped even the elementary fact that the moon rotates on its axis.Your reaction to the subject is like the reaction of the Medeival people;
What will cause this "magnetic flux tube to breach the surface of the sun and pull hot plasma with it"?- The resulting depression will be more than the size of the small stone that we have thrown.
And will this "magnetic structure" disturbance occur in case some rocks may impact the sun or fall on the sun?
See the simple example that I said about throwing a stone in a water pool:
-Not only there will be rapidly spreading circular waves; if we take a photograph of the stone from above, immediately at the time of its impacting the water body, what will the view be:
- The sunken stone, in the middle, whether it be circular or irregular (usually irregular). And there will be other factors that will affect the resulting view: the viscosity of the fluid medium, the force of the impact, the direction of the falling of the impacting object.
- We shall see also, in the resulting view, the depression that the stone has made; which will mostly be about saucer-shaped with the stone in the middle, and the sloping edges of the water around the stone.
- The splash of water that rush out, during the impact of the stone.
- In addition to the turbulence that will result in the water body: with currents of water coming above and below and to the sides of the falling object.
And another example: if we throw a stone or rock into a volcano (even if it is inert or a little bit active), what will be the result?
A few posts back I left a picture in which you can I think see the flux lines. What do you think about the electrical nature of the universe as a possible better explanation than that currently held in conventional circles?
No, a little longer than that, I think, rocks conduct heat pretty slowly. The earth's been geologically active for its entire 4.5 billion year history, and if my memory is correct (it was a *long* time ago that I studied this stuff) it'll probably remain geologically active for about that long again. But by then the sun will have swelled into its red giant phase and the planet will be fried to a crisp anyway.
No, actually he's talking about this stuff, which I'm about 99% sure is 99% nonsense. It starts out in the preface with grandiose claims about what a superior explanation of reality it offers. I stopped reading when it cited that old crank Immanuel Velikovsky's methods and findings with obvious approval.I assume you are talking about the Lambda Cold Dark Matter model?
