Survival Praxis #18 – The Sky is Falling, Part 2 of 2

The link between galactic and solar system formation is necessary for a complete understanding of celestial phenomena.

James M. McCanney, M.S., Planet-X Comets & Earth Changes, Appendix 2, “The Nature and Origin of Comets and the Evolution of Celestial Bodies Pt. 1” (5th Printing, 2003), p. 22

James McCanney tells us that all planets, including Earth, began as expelled chunks of stellar novae. These chunks were irregularly shaped as would be expected from a chaotic explosion. They became comets:

One source of comet nuclei has been identified as the dispersive spray of small conglomerates being ejected from the newly forming twin star systems at the base of the galactic arm. Another possible source, which explains the existence of families of comets arriving from the same directions in space, is the stellar nova. This is also the logical place to look for asteroidal type bodies which are ejected into interstellar space at high velocity.

The detectible remnants of a nova (identified as numerous point radio sources around the central nova star) indicate that large pieces of the solid stellar core remain in the vicinity of the explosion. This strongly suggests that there must be many smaller fragments also. Two results of the new galaxy concept are that the stellar core is not one of collapsed hydrogen, but is a solid planetary type core since all the celestial bodies are initially formed in the same way, and that the heavy isotopes – detected spectroscopically after a nova – come from this core; they are not generated in the explosion as previously thought.

McCanney, Ibid. Part 2, p. 61-62

If these jagged rocks are large enough, they will contain a permanent magnetic field as a residual polarity from the original star from which they came. If they are larger still, they will also have a gravitational field.

Expelled into space with a random, tumbling spin, these asteroidal rocks are eventually captured by the gravity of a local star. At first infinitesimally slow at the outer edges of the respective solar system, they are gradually drawn into a highly elliptical orbit around their new stellar home.
As these chunks are drawn closer to the star, their approach accelerates exponentially. They begin to discharge the stellar capacitor and effloresce into comets. Then a new process of planetary formation begins.

These new comets begin to draw in the charged dust of the surrounding stellarsphere. Contrary to the standard model of cometary formation, the cometary tail does not represent the shedding of the comet’s mass. Just the opposite – the cometary tail represents a celestial vacuum cleaner in which the comet’s electrical charge draws in the cosmic dust which consists of random subatomic, atomic, and molecular particles that are drifting through space.

If the comet is too small, then these charged particles are sloughed off the cometary core. If the comet is large enough to have a gravitational field, then these particles which are drawn in from the tail will be captured and deposited to form a new layer onto the cometary surface, the original stellar chunk.

Each time the comet passes its star, it will accumulate more matter – layer upon layer. The comet’s original chunk will thicken from these layers, its gravitational force will increase, and it will become more spherical.

The comet’s tail drag will force its orbit to become less elliptical and its electrical effects will be reduced. The comet will become a planet.

Some comets have companions: smaller asteroidal chunks captured by the gravitational field of the larger chunk. These asteroidal chunks will orbit the larger chunk like moons. NASA denies this, but McCanney has been able to make important calculations of cometary size from their orbital periods. Comet Hale-Bopp had a “companion” – a moon. So did Comet Ison.

Cometary science is a fascinating field of study that cannot be explained in such a short article. Again, the reader is urged to visit McCanney’s website and obtain his books, which can be downloaded online. Specialists in the field will want to dig into his bibliographies and obtain some of his key sources, such as T.J.J See, Researches on the Evolution of the Stellar Systems, Vol. 2, (Lynn, Mass., 1910).

This is the “Capture Theory” of the Origin of the Solar System (OSS).

Our interest in the above explanation is necessary to the understanding of magnetic fields. Earth has one with multiple components and effects (McCanney identifies no less than eight vectors in his Principia Meteorologia, p. 177-187, and says there may be as many as seventeen!). He calls them “Local Electric Batteries” (LEB):

There is no law or principle of physics that would suggest one could create a magnetic field from swirling molten lava deep in Earth’s core. Principia, p. 40

Magnetic fields do not self-generate . . . For magnetic fields to form, current must flow.

Planet X op cit Pt. 1, p. 33

These magnetic field components can be described thus:

First, Earth has a permanent magnetic field in its solid core, the residual field “locked-in” as it was expelled by its mother star. In arguing for a solid core, McCanney’s Cometary Model differs from the Standard Model (a molten core) and Douglas Vogt’s Model (a central modulation point).

Contrasting and harmonizing these models will be the task of a later article.

Second, Earth has various charged deposits made in its layers during its cometary phase of planetary formation. These deposits create local magnetic moraines (LEB) which sometimes interfere with the dominant field of the core.

Third, Earth’s magnetic field is affected from the movement of the electrical currents it encounters as it orbits the Sun. Most of these currents are solar, some of them are planetary (e.g. Jupiter), rarely, and catastrophically, they are galactic:

[C]elestial magnetic dynamos are powered from outside by electrical interactions between charged orbiting bodies and both the stellar (or planetary) interior and upper atmosphere.

McCanney, Ibid, Part 3, p. 46

Finally, and more importantly, Earth’s dominant magnetic field is generated by the orbit of its moon. The tidal and electrical effects of the Moon’s orbit around the Earth creates an “externally generated dynamo” which has solid empirical support:

The empirical correlation between moons and planetary magnetic fields has been known for some time and is unmistakably accurate, especially in light of recent Voyager I and II data.

McCanney, Ibid. Part 3, p 46

In the solar system, Earth has the most powerful electromagnetic system for its size.

Contrast this with the planet Venus, which is approximately the same size as Earth, but lacks a rotation and a moon:

Venus . . . has no magnetic field and continually fluoresces in X-rays. This is what happens when our magnetic field breaks down.

Principia Meteorologia, op cit., p. 177

A “Venus-type” fluorescence in X-Rays will be addressed in a later Survival Praxis.

Consequently, when we talk about Earth’s present “magnetic excursion” and its “weakening” with a possible “reversal,” there are a number of factors which must be considered:

1) Magnets lose their polarity over time.

Magnets are formed when atoms in a piece of metal are pointing all in the same direction. When the atoms become omnidirectional, the effect of the magnet’s polarity is lost. Consequently, even though Earth’s magnetic core is dominant on the surface – and can be measured by a simple field compass – it is weak in comparison to the powerful electrical circuits in the atmosphere, i.e. the magnetosphere and which under abnormal circumstances, can invade the Earth’s mantle.

2) Metals which do not “hold” a polarity, can be caused to manifest polarity through the induction of an electrical current.

When the electrical current ceases, so does the magnetic polarity.

That is why we believe that Earth’s magnetic core is made of iron and perhaps nickel. It has been measured and mapped by seismographic instruments. McCanney knew it was irregularly shaped as far back as the 1980s (see Principia, p. 81. Only in recent years – as popularized by Ben Davidson – has Earth’s “skeletal” core been profiled):

From seismographic data of the Earth, it is well known that the density of Earth’s interior is quite constant, but has a small, very dense central core. This core is the original “planetary seed” of Earth which was the original comet nucleus.

McCanney, Planet X et al, Ibid Pt. 2 p. 76

3) The Earth’s magnetic field in the core is always weakening as it ages.

But it should be continually replenished by the outer magnetic field generated by the moon’s orbit, which is in sync, and is manifested in the mantle. If it is weakening and migrating, this suggests external factors which are creating a force producing a condition of chaotic flux. If this is true, as in the suggestion of an incursion from a “galactic current sheet,” it would not be a gentle encounter:

As the magnetic field that is carried in the solar wind plasma changes, it can change and even reverse our own external magnetic field. This can be measured at the surface of the earth in the extreme cases with a handheld compass. When the magnetic field reverses in outer space, you have to understand that it opposes but does not change the permanent magnetic field that is locked in earth’s core and mantle. What does happen, however, is that the solar wind is no longer blocked and comes pounding into our upper atmosphere.

McCanney, Principia, p. 177

[Note to Preppers: get a compass and learn how to use it to measure the change in Earth’s magnetic fields.]

4) A conflict of magnetic fields will generate heat and kinetic energy, hence, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and violent storms.

It is not always clear what McCanney believes about magnetic reversals. Part of the confusion arises from the fact that there are multiple magnetic fields, multiple vectors, as just mentioned. As the above quotes clearly show, McCanney believes that Earth has experienced some kind of magnetic reversal in the past which really was – to harmonize his various statements – better defined as magnetic excursions and then a “snapping back” effect once the tidal forces of Earth’s rotation and the moon’s orbit reassert themselves. While McCanney says that a true reversal and a polar flip are impossible according to the laws of celestial mechanics, he does believe that Earth has experienced crustal displacements in the past when the mantle heats up and viscosity allows crustal movement over the core.

It would appear that when a change of viscosity occurs from a chaotic magnetic flux, the close approach of a planetary-sized comet, for example, can create the tidal effects which moves the crust. The last flyby moved the Earth’s crust by 30-40 degrees. He believes it was caused by a close encounter with Venus when it was still in its cometary stage of development.

Gravity is needed to hold an atmosphere, as what occurs on Venus. But an electromagnetic field is necessary, as well, since there are planets and moons which are large enough to have atmospheres, yet have none. McCanney has pointed out that electromagnetic effects are far more powerful on small particles than is gravity. Air is made up of small particles. Consequently, even though Earth’s moon is large enough to have an atmosphere – and some believe that it may actually have had one in the distant past – Earth’s electromagnetic field continuously “sucks” it away.

In the case of Venus, we surmise that its atmosphere is slowly dissipating into space, yet is continuously maintained through volcanic action. However, when the galactic current sheet arrives to the inner solar system in the not too distant future, we should expect Venus to lose a significant portion of its atmosphere as Pluto has already (20%). Earth will lose some of its atmosphere, as well, and then it will collapse to the surface in the form of ice. These effects would be independent of a solar nova. Should a nova occur, other factors, of course, will come into play. The aftermath of a nova scenario has the Sun receding and a diminishing of the solar wind:

Most of Earth’s magnetic field is of the non-permanent type, that is, in the form of electrical currents that are ultimately powered by the currents passing by Earth in the solar wind. If the Sun turned off today, the Earth would turn quickly into a frozen ball of ice with a minimal magnetic field.

McCanney, Planet X et al, p. 88

5) Earth’s atmosphere will collapse.

An electromagnetic field is necessary to modulate an atmosphere to create weather:

The first thing to understand is that the air in our atmosphere is a dielectric material . . .

McCanney, Atlantis to Tesla, The Kolbrin Connection, 2nd printing, 2003, p. 24

What this seems to mean is that molecules of the air are controlled and transported by these electromagnetic currents. The currents keep them in suspension and also prevent them from drifting into space. When those currents are gone, not only would a process of dissipation begin, but as it has on Mars, Earth will begin to lose its water:

An atmosphere is required by a planet to hold liquids in place (especially water).

McCanney, Ibid., p. 56

The opposite of what occurs now:


[A] good deal of water in storms actually is coming from outside Earth’s atmosphere (from Earth’s ‘comet tail’) as the electrical connections occurred between outer space and Earth’s upper atmosphere.

Planet X et al p. 71

We do not know when Earth’s gravity would again create an atmospheric equilibrium. But we should expect, that for many centuries after this catastrophe, Earth’s atmosphere will be much thinner and colder than what it is today:

Other interesting aspects of atmospheres . . . is that the earth had epochs when it had no polar caps and may have had much thicker denser atmospheres . . . than we have now. The composition may have been quite different, and even man may have evolved in a very different atmosphere than what we have today . . .

Principia, p. 57

Six-day creationists will understandably be offended at this discussion. However, the notion of an “old” Earth and an even “older” Sun does not necessarily preclude the Genesis story. Moses had a scientific mind, but also had a gift of poetic succinctness. A “six-day” recreation following the “Gap Theory” interpretation of Genesis 1:1-2 should resolve the hermeneutical conflict. Moses chose not to describe the pre-Adamite world which he knew nothing about, but merely made the affirmation of faith: “Whatever was at the beginning, God was there.
