And here I thought I was the only one to have a theory wacked-out enough to believe that space is actually the highest density stuff around, and that everything in it is just wave forms. I was going to mention how my pet crackpot theory meshes nicely with your Beta- atmosphere idea, but now I see I'm quite a bit too late.
If the phenomena we discuss here are actually electromagnetic vortices, wouldn't they travel at a velocity considerably less than that of light? This would agree with the way smoke rings travel at less than the speed of sound, no? Incidentally, my grandmother was a young woman in Colorado Springs when Tesla was doing his thing there. I used to be told stories of ball lightning wandering in through the window and vanishing into the plumbing or getting shocks through the nails in your shoes when out for a walk. This part is a hoot, too. She said he sounded something like Bela Lugosi. I didn't know who Tesla was at the time, nor apparently did my grandmother who spoke of a "tall foreign man". I was in my late twenties when I first knew of Tesla, and realized who the "tall foreigner" must have been. Unfortunately, it was too late then to ask my grandmother for more of her memories.
