In the following excerpts from
Michael Mozina's recent posts, all highlighted statements are false.
As Michael Mozina has admitted, neither of those books says anything about magnetic reconnection. Hence Michael Mozina's repeated references to those books are off-topic.
I have admitted nothing of the sort! That is your own fabrication. In fact,
I have provided quotes from Alfven's book on this topic on numerous occasions.
Lying about your previous posts does not erase them from the archives.
You have stated that Alfvén wrote nothing on the topic of magnetic reconnection. In the following excerpt, from just over two weeks ago, you said that twice:
You could not come up with a SINGLE paper he wrote on this topic, yet you insist he somehow supported it anyway. What a crock.
The worst part is that you're denying the legitimacy of a circuit oriented approach even though Alfven himself wrote *HUNDREDS* of papers on that topic, and zero papers on the topic of MR theory.
More false claims:
I have pointed out to all of you that your beloved Mrx experiments all begin and end with charged particle kinetic energy (aka current) along the "lines" and that "current' is what actually changes direction. You're putting the magnetic cart in front of the electric horse and hoping that nobody noticed. I noticed. Alfven noticed too. He preferred to work in terms that are consistent with other branches of science, including electrical engineering, and particle physics. Your claim that Magnetic field comes first and particle kinetic energy comes later is absolutely bogus. The charged particle kinetic energy does all the work and the "current" is what actually "reconnects" and/or changes topology.
Here's what's wrong with the highlighted statements:
Few (if any) of the experiments begin with "charged particle kinetic energy (aka current) along the" magnetic field lines. From the number of times you have made that false claim, I can only assume that you're still confused about the direction of the currents and/or the magnetic field lines.
In the experiment I suggested, none of the four currents ever change their direction. There are also several published experiments in which no current ever changes direction.
If you noticed either of the essential facts stated above, your repeated denials of those facts must be dishonest.
In the experiment I suggested, no current ever "reconnects and/or changes topology". That's true in several published experiments as well.
Ya, but all of that "research" demonstrates that electrical current comes first and 'reconnection' is between "currents/circuits", not simply 'magnetic lines'.
In the experiment I suggested, no current ever reconnects. The topological changes occur within the magnetic field.
Nobel or not, I can tell the difference between "current/circuit" reconnection and some mythical claim about a "reconnection" event where magnetic field energy is turned into particle kinetic energy at a "NULL" point. You're whole show is "busted". Instead of dealing with it, you go on insulting the individual, ignoring scientific fact, and hurling childish personal insults.
As demonstrated above, you are unable to tell the difference between reconnections that change the topology of a circuit/current and reconnections that change the topology of magnetic field lines.
Michael Mozina is the person who's been ignoring scientific fact while hurling childish personal insults.
Who do you really think you're fooling anyway? Any child can tell the difference between reconnecting "currents" and reconnecting "magnetic lines"
Michael Mozina can't tell the difference.
The experiments on reconnection all demonstrate the validity of Birkeland's work with cathodes and such, but they do absolutely nothing to support the claim that reconnection is between magnetic lines. In fact they clearly demonstrate (and actually say) that the reconnection is between "currents".
In the experiment I've been suggesting, a small change in current does not reverse the direction of current, nor does it change the circuit topology in any way, but it causes the magnetic field lines that go through certain points to change from circumnavigating one of the four conducting rods to circumnavigating a different conducting rod.
That's a change in the topology of the magnetic field. It occurs without any change in the direction of current or the topology of the circuit.
That empirical fact is easily demonstrated, and it contradicts both of your highlighted claims.
