Mysterious 'Bridge' of Radio Waves Between Galaxies Seems to Be Smashing the Laws of Physics...

The galaxy clusters Abell 0399 and Abell 0401 are some of the most massive objects in the universe. In a new study, researchers have discovered a 10-million-light-year-long bridge of radio waves (shown in blue in this composite image) linking them, and it’s doing crazy things to electrons.

On the big roadmap of the universe, bustling clusters of galaxies are connected by long highways of plasma weaving around the wilderness of empty space. These interspace roadways are known as filaments, and they can stretch for hundreds of millions of light-years, populated only by dust, gas and busy electrons driving very close to the universal speed limit.

Even when moving at near-light speed, particles should only be able to make it a fraction of the way down one of these filaments before running out of juice and breaking down. However, a team of astronomers patrolling a filament between two slowly colliding galaxy clusters has discovered a stream of electrons that isn't abiding by these traffic rules. In the gassy filament between the galaxy clusters Abell 0399 and Abell 0401, the researchers have detected a vast bridge of radio-wave emissions, created by charged particles whizzing down a 10-million-light-year-long road for far longer than should be physically possible.

The source of this cosmic traffic violation, according to a new study published June 7 in the journal Science, may be a faint but turbulent magnetic field stretching from one galaxy cluster to the next, providing a mysterious particle accelerator that's kicking electrons 10 times farther than they are ordinarily able to travel

“The source of this cosmic traffic violation, according to a new study published June 7 in the journal Science, may be a faint but turbulent magnetic field stretching from one galaxy cluster to the next...”

Sounds an awful lot like plasma cosmology predictions being observed...

Aw, come on! After 250 years of study we know everything there is to know about physics.

Orthodox Gravity Cosmologists again shocked, stunned, and surprised to discover something that Electric/Plasma Cosmologists have been telling them all along: Galaxies are connected by filaments of plasma, Birkland Plasma Currents spanning hundreds of millions of light years transmitting electricity! Oops!—Electric/Plasma Universe PING!

ELECTRIC/PLASMA UNIVERSE PING!

If you want on or off the Electric Universe/Plasma Ping List, Freepmail me.

Thanks for the Electric Universe Ping. . . Just got off a cruise ship coming back from Alaska where, alas, it was continually overcast so did not see the aurorae borealis. Twice now I’ve been to Alaska and the weather has conspired to deny me a view of the aurorae. RATS!

Yup, I do and did. Thanks.

Despite what the 'media' tells us, Astrophysicists are in the business of new discovery. Nothing is 'settled' for them.

On the contrary, for almost a century now, gravity theory cosmologists have been denying the existence of electric currents and charge separation in space, claiming the existence of magnetic structures without the flow of electrons without evidence, and calling plasma mere hot gasses, ignoring its actual nature of ionized atoms stripped of electrons which are free flowing through the plasma, creating the magnetic fields. They have ignored the existence of electricity we are seeing everywhere we look in the structures in space, which is scalable from the microcosm in the laboratory to the macrocosm in intergalactic space, which also explains ever structure we see and predicts what we see without resorting to the invention of non-existent dark matter or dark energy which cannot be found or seen. Electromagnetism is 39 orders of magnitude stronger than gravity and, like gravity, is also infinite in reach, yet gravity cosmologists choose to ignore that force as having ANYTHING to do with driving the universe because they made the assumption that charges cannot be separated. . . Despite the fact we can see and demonstrate charge separation everywhere we look.

The orthodox cosmologists have been in denial and are perpetually surprised while the Electric/Plasma Universe Cosmologists have been predicting everything that are perpetually surprising the orthodox cosmologists.

“Sounds an awful lot like plasma cosmology predictions being observed...”; almost like Birkeland currents huh, funny how that eludes them.
