Cosmic 'DNA': Double Helix Spotted in Space

To: Charles Martel

So, that whole "Noah's Ark" thing... that was just someone's fingernail getting scrubbed during last Saturday night's bath (time being, um, relative)?

Could be. I'm worried about what happens when the cosmic time for a Fleet(c) enema arrives.

So that must mean its a really really big space monster huh ?

"'Nobody has ever seen anything like that before in the cosmic realm,' said the study's lead author Mark Morris of UCLA. 'Most nebulae are either spiral galaxies full of stars or formless amorphous conglomerations of dust and gas—space weather. What we see indicates a high degree of order.'. . .
. . . The recipe for a DNA nebula is strict but simple. It requires a strong magnetic field, a rotating body, and a nebulous cloud of material positioned just right."

Magnetic fields created by a Birkeland Current... and it is not the first time. For example:

The jets of Herbig-Haro stars and active galaxies are often resolved into braided filaments.

The Cygnus Loop (the blue strand in the picture below) is a twined braid.

The faint Galactic Jetemanating from the center of M82 is a double spiral. (which is probably what this "DNA Nebula" actually is for our Galaxy)

How does the gravity driven Cosmology of current theory explain this strange structure? It really can't. So they propose a "strong magnetic field" but really haven't a clue about how it is created in the electrically neutral model of space that is the currently accepted paradigm.

Astronomers are willing to accept a "strong magnetic field" but for some reason choose to ignore what we KNOW creates magnetic fields... rotating electrical currents. This artifact of one is only a mere 80 LIGHT YEARS in length... and somehow retains its cohesive shape. What can do that?

How about a force that is 10³⁹ times stronger than gravity?
(That's 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 more powerful than gravity)

I think this might be another "win" for the Electric Universe Cosmologists.

Perpendicular? Very misleading pop cosmology.

I think they meant "Axially oriented above the spiral disk of the Milky Way Galaxy."

Am I the only one that wonders why our home Galaxy is named after a candy bar? ;^)

Yep. For all his moping, Marvin's really awesome. (So is everyone in the Guide :D) I love that book!

Actually, I think the candy bar was named after the galaxy... but hey. Maybe our galaxy is just huuuuuuuge candy bar? >:D

Excuse my silliness, please.. I am very tired right now, lol.

Mark for later reading.

Any chance that the Electric Universe Cosmologists might put their minds into finding a way to tap into that electro-magnetic energy?
