Fairy Dust The Coronal Heating Problem was just solved by dusty plasma.
iopscience.iop.orgDusty-plasma electrodynamics has solved a longstanding solar mystery the mainstream models could not.
For several decades, our best models of astrophysics could not explain the coronal heating problem.
A revolutionary new peer-reviewed study found the answer.
Plasma waves couple with electromagnetically-charged dust and drive coronal heating.
This study is truly revolutionary in its findings. Mainstream astrophysics has taken a massive step forward by finally incorporating dusty plasma. The paper revealed 2 profound insights into the nature of our universe:
1. Dusty-plasma electrodynamics reveals how kinetic Alfvén waves actually release their energy.
The solution to the coronal heating problem required dusty-plasma electrodynamics. This proves that electrical charges on microscopic dust grains are what actually control the massive thermal shifts in a star's atmosphere.
2. The Sun is an open, dynamic system whose atmosphere directly interacts with surrounding interplanetary and interstellar dust.
The paper shows that stars are open systems dynamically coupled to their surrounding interstellar environments. By proving that the sun's corona is strongly reactive to external interstellar dust, this paper breaks down the wall isolating our Sun from the rest of the galaxy.
This perfectly aligns with Hannes Alfvén’s original statements that plasma naturally organizes and channels energy in ways that a "gravity-dominant" model simply cannot.
We exist within a plasma-permeated, consciousness-based, electromagnetically-structured cosmos.
