Longstanding Mystery of Sun's Hot Outer Atmosphere Solved

Images showing narrow jets of material streaking upward from the Sun's surface at high speeds.One of the most enduring mysteries in solar physics is why the Sun's outer atmosphere, or corona, is millions of degrees hotter than its surface.

Now scientists believe they have discovered a major source of hot gas that replenishes the corona: jets of plasma shooting up from just above the Sun's surface.

The finding addresses a fundamental question in astrophysics: how energy is moved from the Sun's interior to create its hot outer atmosphere.

"It's always been quite a puzzle to figure out why the Sun's atmosphere is hotter than its surface," says Scott McIntosh, a solar physicist at the High Altitude Observatory of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colo., who was involved in the study.

"By identifying that these jets insert heated plasma into the Sun's outer atmosphere, we can gain a much greater understanding of that region and possibly improve our knowledge of the Sun's subtle influence on the Earth's upper atmosphere."

The research, results of which are published this week in the journal Science, was conducted by scientists from Lockheed Martin's Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory (LMSAL), NCAR, and the University of Oslo. ...

Gravitoethertons produced at common boundary of our universe and outside antimatter universe is flowing on all bodies at center of gravity . That is why our earths core is hot and our galaxy core is black hole due to focussed energy. Suns atmosphere is also affected more than inside due to heat and flares are at higher temperature than inside .

Are there any predictions you can make with your Gravitoetherton theory that could be verified?

GRAVITOETHERTONS are consisting of five god particles . four for four fundamental forces and one for mass creation. GRAVITON is acting on molecule of matter irrespective of molecular weight by mono magnetic coupling ,as such we see equal fall of all masses. Similarly WEAKON -the weak force god particle create an equal field zone on each gas molecule irrespective of molecular weight by mono magnetic coupling so that if condition same we see equal number of gas molecules as described by AVOGADRO .Now we will see a revision of physics beyond NEWTON and EINSTEIN and STANDARD MODEL --particularly quark theory and after wards will be scrutinized by new mono magnetic coupling laws with the introduction of five god particles in GRAVITOETHERTON THEORY. DURGADAS DATTA devoloping these new mono magnetic coupling laws in the light of quantum electrodynamo so that we see things differently .But LHC-GENEVA must operate at 14 TEV to smash PROTON and ANTIPROTON so that the signals are clear . LET US NOT DELAY THE NEW PHYSICS AND ITS NEW INTERPRETATIONS AS DEVELOPED BY DURGADAS DATTA.

So... Your model predicts what that has not yet been observed?

DURGADAS DATTA said...

If you are looking for what has been observed ,please see below.
1/ earths core is hot due to focus of gravitoethertons.
2/earth is magnetic due to magnetism and electron flow by gravitoethertons.
3/ our galaxy core is black hole due to focus of gravitoethertons.
4/our universe is expanding due to pumped in gravitoethertons.
5/ tevatron has seen some glimpses of five god particles as reported.
6/ out side antimatter universe is pulling our universe as reported in dark flow.
7/ out side stars of spiral galaxies rotating faster by gravitoethertons soup and here newtons gravity fails to explain.
-avogadros law. Glalilios observation of equal fall. Mendeleefs table.
–many things like that have been seen out come of the five god particles gravitoethertons theory. Etc etc etc etc.
