[I]n times of extreme energetic discharges of the solar capacitor . . . could Jupiter or Saturn ignite and burn as a fusion star for a brief period of time?
In 1680 Isaac Newton observed a great comet plunge into the atmosphere of the Sun, and then witnessed the Sun explode into a nova-like flash. He recorded this event in his Principia and no doubt pondered its significance along with his assistant William Whiston, and his colleague, Edmond Halley – of Halley’s Comet fame.
Newton lived before the age of nuclear physics, but he knew that the Sun was powered by something more than a chemical reaction of elements. He knew as a mere chemical burn, it was impossible for the Sun to produce a sustained and constant heat-source which could traverse the vastness of space without dissipating. But even though he did not enjoy the benefits of modern nuclear physics, he could understand kinetic energy and at the time, some alchemists were working on the transmutation of the elements.
During the 1990s and early 2000s, scientists witnessed almost daily flaring of the Sun. Many of these were caused by sun-diving comets, but since not all comets can be seen because they do not always effloresce, one wonders whether the collision of astral bodies of various sizes are the primary cause of solar flaring. More below.
James McCanney reproduced the images of many of these comets on his website during that period and continuously mocked NASAs almost comical ignorance of their connection with solar flaring. Of course, unlike Newton and his colleagues, NASA science has regressed and claims that comets are “dirty snowballs”: a conglomeration of ice and dust, harmless creatures of the universe. Dirty snowballs cannot be allowed to cause the Sun to flare. “Move along, now, there is nothing to see here.”
This was also the period of Comet Hale-Bopp’s perihelion, a planetary-sized body which McCanney has argued was the Planet X of Robert Harrington’s New Zealand-based observations for the Naval Observatory. The comet had a companion, and since it had a gravitational field large enough to have a moon, one wonders what other kinds of debris was preceding and following in its wake. While the “cometary discharge theory” argues that the tail of a comet works like a giant vacuum cleaner, we must allow, as any housewife knows, that not all vacuum cleaners work with the same efficiency. Sometimes, they just drag things along instead of picking them up. Consequently, whatever might be “drug along” in the wake of a planetary-sized comet and “dropped-off” along the way, especially if the comet encounters a planet or comes close to the Sun, we must allow that the heliosphere is just as messy and turbulent as is Earth’s atmosphere.
Earth encounters space debris daily in the form of cosmic dust and pebble-sized rocks which we sometimes call meteors when they flare upon entry into the Earth’s atmosphere. “Shooting stars” occur when the kinetic energy of their orbital movement meets the resistance of the Earth’s atmosphere and then they burn up. If this happens to Earth, we should certainly expect that it happens to our Sun.
But Earth is different than the Sun. While like the Sun, Earth’s atmosphere is controlled by its electromagnetic fields, it differs in that it is not the setting of a thermonuclear reaction. Thus, meteors “burn-up” at a molecular level; they do not explode at a nuclear level.
I am not a nuclear physicist but I do know that the first thermonuclear detonation worried some scientists, as they surmised that there could be enough hydrogen in the atmosphere (or helium perhaps) to create a chain reaction which would have engulfed the whole planet: a true doomsday device. What this should suggest to us is that sun-diving comets do not just burn-up in the solar atmosphere like meteors do on Earth. They react at a nuclear level and the solar flaring represents a localized explosion (e.g. mini-nova) event which cannot be controlled by the Sun’s “supergranulation”: i.e. the atmospheric fusion polygons separated by powerful local magnetic moraines (see entry at Robert Felix Source page above, or Not By Fire, But By Ice, p. 95-98).
McCanney believes that all stars, including our Sun, are blasting debris into space continuously. Most of that debris is in the form of electrically-charged dust particles since the efficiency of the burn breaks-down the molecular structure of most elements. However, if the Sun experiences a “dirty” burn which overwhelms that process – either by encountering a binary or a planet-sized comet or a cosmic-sourced current sheet – the resulting explosion and debris field would contain larger “chunks” which would be expelled violently into the heliosphere. The cratering of the planets of the inner solar system, Mercury in particular, suggests that the Sun has experienced these events more than once.
As has been noted on this website, when tiny Comet Shumaker-Levy crashed into Jupiter in 1994, it occurred on the side facing away from the Earth. Officially, American scientists showed belated interest, as they surmised that it would simply burn up in the Jovian atmosphere like meteors do on Earth. However, Russian scientists watched it closely and were able to measure the results from the reflection off of Jupiter’s moons. The results were spectacular and suggest that the comet exploded at a nuclear level.
Which leads us to the consideration of McCanney’s opening statement above. Scientists tell us that both Jupiter and Saturn are spent or failed stars. However, they still emit more radiation than they receive from the Sun. There is even a theory among some in the “electric universe” crowd who argue from ancient mythology that Earth was once a moon of Saturn and that it subsisted on infra-red radiation. Regardless, these planets exhibit star-like attributes which could be enhanced by cometary encounters. This seems to be true of our Sun:
At this point it appears that the solar energy depends on the continual influx of hydrogen from outside of the solar system, it depends on the oscillating 11 year cycle which apparently is locked to the planetary activity of Jupiter and its orbit and possibly to a rhythmic pulsation of the nebular ion cloud which exists beyond the planet Pluto and is held back by solar wind pressure.
McCanney, Principia, p. 96
Likewise, it might be that Jupiter and Saturn are restrained from stellar transformation because the Sun robs the heliosphere of all the hydrogen which might be available. Should the Sun’s heliosphere weaken from an extended period of discharge, such that there is a depletion of the return current sheet, these planets could redirect and capture this river of hydrogen either gravitationally or electromagnetically. Or more importantly, it could be asked, “Should a large comet, large enough to capture this hydrogen or even redirect the flow of this river of stellar fuel, if it were to pass close enough to either Jupiter or Saturn, would it ignite these planets into a fusion burn as cited above? And what would happen to our Sun should it be deprived of its normal flow of hydrogen components?”
As McCanney asked many years ago:
Could our solar system be moving through outer space as the Russians believed and is being affected by this “vacuum domain” space between stars that we know almost absolutely nothing[?] If our sun did depend on a constant influx of new solar hydrogen to burn and we were about to head into [an] area devoid of such hydrogen, the sun all of a sudden could begin to cool uncontrollably. Or if the opposite happened when we moved into a region of hydrogen rich interstellar material with an associated increase in hydrogen input to the sun and it began to accelerate in its energy output . . .
Principia, Ibid, p. 96
Elsewhere, we have noted that Comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein, already acknowledged by NASA to be “a thousand times larger” than any comet ever observed, will be making an encounter with Saturn in 2031/2032. A close Saturn passage could work like a stellar binary encounter with “action at a distance” (McCanney) which could result in a planetary nova (see Donald Patten’s works, especially Recent Organization of the Solar System and his discussion on “Little Brother”). Saturn could then, in turn, work like a stellar binary with the Sun. Will this be the harbinger, the trigger for the next solar disaster, leading us to the great eschaton of 2046AD? More to come.
