Discovering Earth’s Third Global Energy Field

Показать описание
High above the Earth’s North and South Poles, a steady stream of particles escapes from our atmosphere into space. Scientists call this mysterious outflow the “polar wind,” and for almost 60 years, spacecraft have been flying through it as scientists have theorized about its cause. The leading theory was that a planet-wide electric field was drawing those particles up into space. But this so-called ambipolar electric field, if it exists, is so weak that all attempts to measure it have failed – until now.

In 2022, scientists traveled to Svalbard, a small archipelago in Norway, to launch a rocket in an attempt to measure Earth’s ambipolar electric field for the first time. This was NASA’s Endurance rocketship mission, and this is its story.

Love hearing about low-key research projects!

Is it a field or is it just a flow of radiation or charged particles? Calling it a field that counteracts gravity made it sound like a new fundamental force, which I highly doubt.

More details would be great. Difference with magnetic field?

very excited for us to start using this force for vehicles

Technically, gravity isn’t a force, it’s an effect.

Watch-battery voltage with supersonic velocity?

We have known about this for ages, it just rewrites everything so they needed to figure out an excuse before letting us know.

"One half volt' doesn't mean much. Aren't there some other co-factors or dimensions to this 'nambi-pambi' field? (ie. /sqft, /cuft, /sec, resolution, duration of measurement, ...) ;-)

Why it is earth ambipolar electric field instead of earth ambipolar field,
Is this also a type of electric field??
