July 10, 2013 - NASA has turned science fiction into science fact by announcing the discovery of hidden ‘portals’ in Earth’s magnetic field. Deemed X-points or ‘electron diffusion regions’, rather than being intergalactic folds in space leading to different galaxies and planets found in sci-fi novels, these diffusion regions aid in the transfer of the magnetic field from the Sun to Earth.
Essentially, these portals help with the transfer of the tons of magnetically charged particles that flow from the Sun. These particles are responsible for the northern and southern lights and geomagnetic storms.
‘We call them X-points or electron diffusion regions,’ said University of Iowa plasma physicist Jack Scudder, who is studying them.
‘They’re places where the magnetic field of Earth connects to the magnetic field of the Sun, creating an uninterrupted path leading from our own planet to the sun’s atmosphere 93 million miles away.’

‘Magnetic portals are invisible, unstable and elusive. They open and close without warning and there are no signposts to guide us in,’ said Scudder.

Sounds like a hot adventure
I wonder if this could be the reason for some of the missing people.. accidentally walking into a portal leading to the sun

we then have a question about the sun. why is space cold, when our planet is hot. if the earth's atmosphere protects us from heat from the sun, then entering space should fry both occupants and vehicle.

So at times, the earth's magnetic field reaches out and links with the sun? I'm confused as hell on that lol What applications, if any, do you think this would have for us?
I was reading about, i think NASA, experimenting with essentially deflector fields. Creating a man-made magnetic field around a craft, much like the earth's magnetic field, to deflect incoming debris. Could this have applications for that? Is it possible, once we understand what's going on, to harness that?
One of the biggest risks for space work is debris, man-made or otherwise, even a pea sized rock could blast through a shuttle or space station. Could we position our ships and space station within the protected field, could we force it to happen?

It sais that NASA has discovered this, but I can't find any links to nasa.gov.
Can you please direct me?
the experiment of the high C and the crystal glass makes this clear. sound can have physical properties affecting matter, both able to build and destroy or simply repel physical objects given the right concentration. this is how shields will work as in star trek. because the frequency dissipates over distance from the source. the shield would be strongest around the edges of the craft and with enough power be able to deflect objects relative to their size and composition.

Space is hot if you are in direct line of sight to the sun, that's why space suits have to endure extreme cold and heat, and since there's no atmosphere to deflect or hamper UV and other radiation, they have those fancy gold visors to protect their peepers.
The moon for instance. At night it can get as cold as -153 Celsius . but in the "day" under direct sunlight, it can get as hot as 107 Celsius. The moon has no atmosphere so when the sun is blocked, the temperature drops incredibly fast.
It's just as hot in space, if not hotter, as long as the sun is shining on you. The earth's atmosphere doesn't protect you from the heat. It traps the radiation in, which is what causes things to warm up. Without the atmosphere it wouldn't get that much hotter, but the temperature drop between day and night would be incredibly fast, as there's nothing trapping in the heatedit on 11-7-2013 by phishyblankwaters because: (no reason given)

So when people get all fired up here on earth does it fire up the sun or does the firing up of the sun fire up people here on earth? During Solar Max, people get more antsy creating chains of events that continue on to later develop into large arguments and wars. Because the events often escalate after the max, it is hard to prove.

does this mean that astronauts sweat in their space suits? or does it contain and internal airconditioning system?
during the day isnt the moon normally on the other side of the earth where it is night? it wouldnt be able to be in direct line of sight with the sun in that case. unless you're speaking of the instances in which the moon is visible during daytime.
makes sense this part. so geothermal energy has to do with external factors as well. if the earth were not able to trap radiation then life quite well could not be sustained or at the very least we could have a very hostil or volatile environment to live in as you pointed out.

glass shattering because of sound is related to the frequency of which the object breaking resonates. It's not that the sound wave destroys it, the object destroys itself. I'm not sure if that would translate to anything other than glass or any other fragile material that is able to flex slightly, like glass. The mythbusters episode about breaking glass with the human voice is a great watch.
The deflector shields, the real ones, aren't sound waves to my knowledge, they are testing man made magnetic fields.
As such, sound doesn't propagate in a vacuum as it requires air or another medium to reverberate. Sound a sound based shield system simply wouldn't work in space. don't confuse sound with radio waves mind you, those work just fine in space.edit on 11-7-2013 by phishyblankwaters because: (no reason given)
