Robin, In short Plasma. There are meant to be interesting effects with plasmas and excess energy that is possibly nuclear in effect. Anyway that stuff about sunspots, contorted field lines and SMEs is thought to occur because the Sun's rotational energy and the energy of the plasma gets stored in

No Harry, 'faith' in logic. Don't get ratty when someone challenges your preconceptions. Extend the argument. Is there something I've missed? Is there a point 3, 4... a way into the argument that Steorn might be on to? I think not. That's the 1st Law and what it means in a nutshell. When

Yeah John, And if Andreas Rathke says it might be expulsion of hot gas, do the darn thing in a vacuum chamber. I dont think the establishment are being necessarily obstructive and obstreperous. Youve just got to work with them to dot the is cross the ts. Its all part of being

Thomas, Sincerely, get hold of the paper. I'll try and dig it out and scan the relevant sections. It's all based on several false premises. The one that brought it home to me was one diagram where he had a world-line for the universe scattering off the zero photon state. I can't remember the whole

What about quantum uncertainty/fluctuations of energy? Vacuum polarisation requires energy input to manifest the virtual particles as real. That paper I mentioned in the last post says that people are confusing vacuum polarisation with zpe. The two are not the same. What about the

The logic of the first law when used to interpret particular observations suggests this or that as an explanation. For example, one can always add another force to nature to make observations consistent with the logic the first law, just like one can always add another epicycle to make

In reply to Remi Cornwall's message of Mon, 11 Sep 2006 12:11:44 +0100: Hi, [snip] Robin It is well known that when magnetic field lines are broken, and reconnect, considerable energy is released. Where does this energy come from, and why should it not be equally true here on Earth as it is in
