Answered a question on AskPhysics by explaining some details of the maxwell equations.

Discussed science of quantum physics on philosophyOfScience. My answers were also shadowbanned.

Banned from Space, while I was discussing Magnetohydrodynamics, and questioned the practicality a bit. But it stated because I am moderator of subs that explores new alternative ideas.

Many scientists are just NPCs, because they find science too hard.

It is weird that real science and physics isn't 'allowed'. Magnetohydrodynamics is mainstream physics, so why is it hated in so much media?

Kinda makes me put my conspiracy hat on to try and figure out what is special about MHD that makes people want to hide it.

Maybe something to do with climate science, since it is the basis for storm amplification by geomagentic storms.

Or maybe propulsion systems, if you've helix wound a torus with helix wound wire to create a 'virtual' photon with variable spin. (the next step for Nasa's helix drive, as the torus provides the relativistic difference in masses)

Hmm. I do wonder.

MHD is made by Alphen, who got a Nobel prize for it. And then declared that astronomers were misusing his formulas and not using it right.

Let me explain it quickly:

Electric charged particles usually follow an electrical field. But when shot into a magnetic field, they follow a spiral path along a magnetic field direction and produce synchrotron radiation.
The latter idea is only looked at in astronomy. MHD starts with the special case that there is no electrical field, and only follows the magnetic field direction. Hey, what could go wrong?

The astronomers use it to explain solar plasma ropes and solar flares.

We find no synchrotron radiation in most cases (I have not seen it). We can not repeat the models in laboratories and computer models are a bit weird.
But astronomers add more to the idea, and claim that magnetic field lines can collide with each other. Which according to them can produce a lot of energy.
The latter is not even compatible with basic physics.

So I started investigating it a bit more. Started asking questions... got banned.

My result:

I first noticed that the plasma-ropes are usually containing moving plasma, as if an electrical current is moving through them. And the ropes go from one sunspot to the other. So logically one sunspot would have a positive and the other a negative electrical charge.

The sunspots show a very strong Zeeman effect, which is usually caused by a very strong magnetic field. And a very strong electrical field of that size (100x earth) needs a very strong electrical current. But we do not see such currents. Unless we see the solar ropes as such currents.

But there is also an alternative: the stark effect. The stark effect indicates a very strong electrical field. But usually they can not exist in plasma... except when we have double-layers in plasma or on some kind of surface. We see that in the laboratory. Either one can be true.

So this means that the solar ropes become very easy. They are just electrical currents, like in a plasma ball. And they behave very similar. No we can investigate the other phenomena.

What happens when two electrical currents connect? An electrical short-cut. And this may be an energetic event that can start flares.

A very strong electrical current can be unstable, and may even shoot away sparks like in a rail gun.

Zeeman effect is slightly different from Stark effect. The Stark effect shows slightly different patterns. And looking at some zeeman/ magnetic field pictures of the sun, it seems that the stark effect give a better image. Or maybe there is a combination of both.

Now looking back into the astronomers:
They claim that no electrical field can exist and that therefore there is no stark effect. Some astronomers even claim that, because there is no electrical field, there are no electrical currents. And nothing is wrong with MHD, and nothing is wrong with magnetic field lines colliding. But with instruments in space and in laboratories we do measure electrical fields and currents.

For me astronomy on the sun looks like bad science.

Maybe when scientists talk science fiction, it is a sign that we are looking at bad science.

Some astronomers even claim that, because there is no electrical field, there are no electrical currents.

That make no sense at all. If there are moving magnetic fields and plamsa, then there are electrical currents. All you need is free electrons, such as in a wire or a stream of plasma.

I think the main problem astronomy has is in assuming solid celestial bodies. Everything regular is spinning, because everything regular grew from vorticies, which are hollow...
