The Electric Sun

[Charles Pegge]

Wouldn't it be such fun,
To take a rocket to the sun,
and travel through a large sunspot,
where the temperature's not too hot,
Use plenty of suntan lotion,
And slide into the solar ocean,
To Sit inside a magnetic bubble,
And use the telescope borrowed from Hubble.
No need to pay the return fare,
Hitch a ride on a solar flare.

If you are seeking employment as an astrophysicist do not mention to anyone that you have read this article!

[font=courier new][size=8pt]I've heard a little about the theory, and also that it is verboten to mention in mainstream science.

I heard this guy talking on the radio about it,

http://www.jmccanneyscience.com/WeatherBookCoversandTableofContents.HTM .

And, here is a book on the subject,

http://www.amazon.com/Electric-Universe-Wallace-Thornhill-Talbott/dp/0977285138/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1274847213&sr=1-3 .

Your reference seems reasonable. I know little about electricity or the anamolies of the sun's behavior.

------------------------------------------------------------

I've thought before that there are certain politicians whom I would like to see become the first humans to set foot on
the sun.

At 25,000 mph, the trip would take around 155 days. Additionally, the sun's gravity would speed up the trip.

There, they could plant their country's flag, and claim it for their homeland.

How long do you think it will be before countries are fighting over the moon?

If I was in charge of a space program, that's where I would devote my resources, the moon.

It seems today that, everyone wants to go to Mars. For probably the next hundred years, I see much more practical value
in the moon.

I see very little to recommend Mars. I think the atmosphere is approximately 1% the density of Earth's (I realize that the moon has no atmosphere).
And, relative to the moon, it is a long long trip (you can't take much there).

Concerning the sun, since it is gas, I guess the determination of where the "surface" begins, is somewhat
arbitrary.

As far as I know, every other planet in our solar system is junk compared to Earth, with respect to supporting advanced
life.

Mercury: too hot, too cold, and its day is longer than its year. If I remember correctly, on Mercury, the sun is 6 times as bright
as it is on Earth. Temperature variation, -300 degrees F to 800 degrees F.

Venus: always hot - on its surface lead is a liquid, and it has a crushing atmosphere of carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid.

Mars: almost no atmosphere, gravity is 1/3 of Earth's. I read that the average temperature is -51 degrees F.

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune: gas giants, with crushing atmospheres. And, I think, similar to the sun, a gas giant
may have no surface to stand on.

It seems that Earth, is one in a million, at least (but, some would claim that it is destined to become a twin of Venus).

------------------------------------------------------------

If, somehow Earth escaped from the solar system, could life survive?

I think it could be possible.

Earth's core is really hot, maybe deep underground life could continue, you could grow mushrooms.

------------------------------------------------------------

Can you imagine in the future, penal colonies on Mercury and Venus?

Worse than Australia, worse than Devil's Island, worse than St. Helena, yes?

Who could escape?

It may well be that advanced civilisations in the universe, - the ones that do not destroy themselves, forgo bodies of flesh and bone converting themselves into more durable material, able to thrive on different planets and live comfortably in the high vacuum of space without exterior life-support.

We have embarked on this evolutionary journey already with spectacles, hearing aids, dentures, hip and knee replacements and various electronic implants :)
