  1. “This study reminds us as scientists that we must always question our assumptions and that sometimes our intuition can work against us,” Malanushenko says.**

    (**Unless, of course, you’re a climate scientist…)

    1. I hope their computer models are better than those used to project the out come of the whu who flu.

      1. As soon as I saw that their conclusions were based upon a computer simulation/model, I stopped reading. Models are touchy beasts and unless one can verify the results in reality, highly suspect (as you pointed out with models for infection and death due to coronavirus). Too often, they are too simplistic and fed bad data.

  2. If we got the expected results, then it wouldn’t be a discovery. When science is done properly, we should expect surprises as our measurements get more accurate and produce more data. Good.

    1. Even a confirmation of a theory is good science. Particle physics is a good example of that. Of course, once the existence of a particle has been proven, the fun really begins as researchers want to find out about its properties and behaviour.

      1. So now we discover the Sun has North & South Poles?
        Canada is disruption my Gps.
        There’s the geographic North Pole, which never changes. And there’s the magnetic North Pole, which is always on the move. And right now in Canada it’s moving faster than usual.
        Over the past 150 years, the magnetic North Pole has casually wandered 685 miles across northern Canada. But right now it’s racing 25 miles a year to the northwest.
        My GPS has to be regulated every day.
        Canada keeps moving around making me late for work.

        1. The sun has many north and south magnetic poles, in almost a checkerboard pattern.

      2. Fun fact:
        Every single elementary particle known to exist was predicted by theory before we actually detected them, except 2: The electron and the photon. All the other particles were predicted to exist by mathematical models before we found them.

    1. Our governments suppress and ignore a vast array of areas of study that interact and react.
      Like the Astroid strike that created the Great Lakes and flipped our planet. Our planets not teethered to the sun and can be flipped by strikes or uneven balancing of its weight.
      Alot of good shit that our politicians don’t want you to know about.
      Scientists believe we have not lost a drop of water in 4,5 billion years.
      But when you do add water…many amazing discoveries start to creep out on how our planet was created and the mechanical processes in play including a more balanced.
      So much to teach ‘grass hoppa’…

      Like how water vapor defies our scientists definition of gravity. It’s heavier than air…must be magic…no it’s understanding the centrifugal force coming off our planet and Nitrogen gas vibration reaction that allows minute release mechanism.

  3. Too much water vapor hurts my Sinuses, /can’t Smell.

    Or maybe it’s eternal Covid 19 20 26 ?
    Abercrombie variables ?

  4. The scientists studying this phenomenon aren’t sure why the coronal loops don’t lose their intensity the farther away from the sun they are. As someone who knows next to nothing about the sun, I am told plasma is a super-heated charged gas (charged particles with mass). Perhaps gravity and electromagnetics are in some form of equilibrium as the plasma is blown away from the sun’s surface but can’t escape its gravitational pull, so it shakes like a curtain, sheets of charged particles being pushed away from the sun due to their charge and pulled toward the sun by its gravity. Looks very similar to the Earth’s Northern Lights.

  5. An article written for illiterate children, with pretty pictures of iron filings, that bear no relationship whatsoever with the phenomena at hand. Plasma conducts electricity, and there are some pretty big currents flowing through the solar atmosphere, generating their own magnetic fields, which, in turn, shape the plasma flows, making a feedback system of incredible complexity, in fact, deterministic chaos is the rule.
    If seeing wrinkled sheets of plasma blew her mind, a coupled system of dozens of differential equations would give her a stroke.
