Transmutations on the Electric Sun

Having demonstrated that transmutations can explain both fossilization and processes going on inside our bodies we can go on to consider our Sun and what sort of transmutations it may be engaging in.

The electric Sun

First off, we need to understand the mechanisms driving the Sun itself. The standard model of the Sun is that it is a ball of gas, fueled by an internal fusion reactor that turns Hydrogen into Helium. However, this does not fit well with observations, and this has led some to suggest that the Sun is not a nuclear reactor but an externally driven electric furnace. Additionally, I've proposed that this furnace generates more energy than it consumes. Nuclear processes taking place on the surfaces of stars function as electric accelerators.

A suitable model of our Sun is not the ball of Hydrogen gas that current theory suggests, but an object made out of pretty much the same materials as everything else in our solar system, namely rocks and gases of various kinds. The abundance of Hydrogen seen in the light spectra of our Sun is not indicative of its makeup. Rather, it's due to Hydrogen being split off of heavier elements at its surface through nuclear fission.

This process is not unique to our Sun. It takes place on all stars, and this is why we see so much Hydrogen, Helium and other light elements in space and the corona of our Sun and other stars. The abundance of light elements in space is not a reflection of the overall makeup of our universe, but simply a consequence of the nuclear processes taking place on stars.

Interstellar currents

Note that the energy generated by transmutations of elements on the surface of stars don't have to account for more than a fraction of their energy outputs because stars are primarily electric furnaces. The nuclear reactions taking place are merely maintaining and adding to the interstellar engine of electric currents that drive all stars.

The energy supposedly lost to space through radiation is in the form of charged gases known as plasma, and plasma will always merge and converge onto nearby stars and planets. The energy blasted out into space by our Sun and stars is focused onto other stars and reused.

Little extra energy is required for this to persist, which means that stars can exist for a very long time without running out of fuel.

Transmutations

As for the transmutations taking place on the surface of stars, we have a few general rules we can apply. For one, the overall process must be exothermic. Heat is generated, not consumed. Furthermore, the transmutations are mostly due to fission of Hydrogen and Helium. All sorts of other transmutations may also take place, but the abundance of Hydrogen and Helium in the coronas of stars tell us that fission is the main driver.

When we combine these observations with the periodic table, and the fact that planets like Earth are especially rich in Silicon and Iron, we find four candidates for what may be the dominant transmutations that take place on stars. They are:

  • Silicon (Si) - Hydrogen (H) = Aluminum (Al) + Energy
  • Silicon (Si) - Helium (He) = Magnesium (Mg) + Energy
  • Iron (Fe) - Hydrogen (H) = Manganese (Mn) + Energy
  • Iron (Fe) - Helium (He) = Chromium (Cr) + Energy

Calculations

Using atomic weights found in the periodic table to calculate the energy produced by each of these processes we get the following.

For Si - H = Al + Energy we get:

  • Energy = Si - Al - H
  • Energy = 28.085 - 26.982 - 1.008
  • Energy = 0.095

For Si - He = Mg + Energy we get:

  • Energy = Si - Mg - He
  • Energy = 28.085 - 24.305 - 4.003
  • Energy = -0.223

For Fe - H = Mn + Energy we get:

  • Energy = Fe - Mn - H
  • Energy = 55.845 - 54.938 - 1.008
  • Energy = -0.101

For Fe - He = Cr + Energy we get:

  • Energy = Fe - Cr - He
  • Energy = 55.845 - 51.996 - 4.003
  • Energy = -0.154

Conclusion

From the above calculations we get that only the Silicon to Aluminum transmutation is exothermic. It's the only one that produces energy, and therefore the only one in this list that is happening at any significant rate.

However, this is not to say that Silicon to Aluminum transmutation is the only transmutation taking place on our Sun. Iron may still play an important role because it will release a lot of energy if split into Silicon and Magnesium. Silicon can then in turn split off a hydrogen atom to produce Aluminum, and Magnesium can also shed Hydrogen, as can Aluminum. Long chains of reactions are possible.

When more complex transmutation sequences are considered, we get a long list of possibilities. But if we restrict ourselves to abundant elements found on Earth, and focus on splitting off Hydrogen and Helium from these elements, the list becomes short, and we can conclude that the dominant transmutation taking place on the Sun is that of Silicon to Aluminum, with Hydrogen released into the chromosphere and corona.

Calculations Related to Transmutations

Doing the numbers on Sodium to Potassium transmutations, we were able to demonstrate that this type of transmutation only requires the addition of oxygen, and that the process is endothermic. It results in a cooling effect, and can therefore explain how humans and other large animals can remain temperature steady in sweltering heat when perspiration on its own seems insufficient relative to the enormous task of keeping a large body at a lower temperature.

It appears then that the human body is capable of Sodium to Potassium transmutations, and that this is key to keeping our bodies cool during hot weather. Salt is not only needed for perspiration. It is also needed for the transmutation of Sodium into Potassium, and this is the reason we excrete more Potassium than we consume, and we consume more Sodium than we excrete.

Fossilization

Another type of transmutation that appears to be fairly common in nature is fossilization of animals, plants, clay and mud. These cases too deserve to be investigated in greater details.

Mud, a mix of mainly Silicon and Carbon, is known to transform into shale and mudstone over time. It can also be formed into bricks by applying heat, or simply by letting it dry in the sun.

Clay is better defined than mud, and is a widely used material, known to become hard when heated. Pure clay minerals even have a precise chemical definition, namely Al2Si2O5(OH)4. It's a mix of Aluminum, Silicon, Oxygen and Hydrogen. Regular clay, found in nature, also contains a lot of Iron, hence its red color.

Plants, as we all know, are mainly made up of water and Carbon, and animals are mainly water, Carbon and Calcium.

With this in mind we see that a transformation of mud and clay into rock appears straight forward, while a transformation from plants and animals into rock seems more elaborate. However, even mud and clay seem to require at least some transformation at the atomic level.

Sedimentary rocks are not bricks and pottery made by nature over time. They are not merely transformed by heat. Rather, they appear transmuted into Silicon, either quickly by lightning or slowly over time by radiation coming from the Sun and the cosmos.

Let us therefore look at the transmutations that are possible, and the energies required to make them happen.

Transmutations

Fossils are known to contain more Silicon than what was present before fossilization took place, so we have Silicon as the main end product we are looking to explain. There's also an abundance of manganese oxide at the surface of fossilized bones that needs explaining.

For all the elements available to us we have:

  • Hydrogen - symbol H, number 1, weight 1.008
  • Carbon - symbol C, number 6, weight 12.011
  • Oxygen - symbol O, number 8, weight 15.999
  • Magnesium - symbol Mg, number 12, weight 24.305
  • Aluminum - symbol Al, number 13, weight 26.982
  • Silicon - symbol C, number 14, weight 28.085
  • Calcium - symbol Ca, number 20, weight 40.078
  • Iron - symbol Fe, number 26, weight 55.845

From this we get a lot of straight forward possibilities for transmutation into Silicon. Restricting ourselves to only consider processes involving two elements, we get the following:

  • H + Al = Si + Energy
  • C + O = Si + Energy
  • Ca - C = Si + Energy
  • Fe - Mg = Si + Energy

We have four direct routes to Silicon, which helps us explain the first puzzle, namely the abundance of Silicon in fossilized remains.

Note that if the energy produced is positive, we have an exothermic reaction. If it's negative, we have an endothermic reaction.

Note also, that Iron transmuted into Silicon also produces Magnesium, which we find in abundance around fossilized bones.

Calcium transmuted into Silicon produces additional Carbon, but this Carbon can in turn be turned into Silicon in combination with Oxygen, also in plentiful supply inside living creatures.

It appears then that transmutation may be a major factor in the production of fossilized remains.

Required energies

Moving on to the atomic weights of the various elements, we can calculate the energies involved in the above mentioned transmutations. If we get energies above the weight of a Hydrogen atom, we have to assume that one or more neutron were involved, either ejected in the case of an exothermic reaction or synthesized in the case of an endothermic reaction.

Starting with H + Al = Si + Energy, we get:

  • Energy = H + Al - Si
  • Energy = 1.008 + 26.982 - 28.085
  • Energy = -0.095

C + O = Si + Energy gives us:

  • Energy = C + O - Si
  • Energy = 12.011 + 15.999 - 28.085
  • Energy = -0.075

Ca - C = Si + Energy gives us:

  • Energy = Ca - C - Si
  • Energy = 40.078 - 12.011 - 28.085
  • Energy = -0.018

Fe - Mg = Si + Energy gives us:

  • Energy = Fe - Mg - Si
  • Energy = 55.845 - 24.305 - 28.085
  • Energy = 3.455

The odd one out here is clearly the Iron to Silicon transmutation which produces energy to the tune of three and a half Hydrogen atoms. By contrast, the three other reactions consume energy, and only a tiny bit of it, which means that the energy released by the production of Silicon and Magnesium from Iron can feed the other three processes. There's a synergy of sorts working in our favor.

Considering the complexities related to alternative explanations, where elements are replaced over time rather than transmuted, I'd say we've made a pretty good case for transmutation as an important factor in fossilization.

The Sumerian Black Sun

The Sumerians had a seven day week with the first day dedicated to the Sun and last day dedicated to what they referred to as the Black Sun, which is generally believed to have been the planet Saturn.

The Black Sun was only visible during the night, and was described as a ring of light. This fits well with Saturn, as does the fact that our current calendar has Saturn's day, known to us as Saturday, six days after Sunday. However, the Black Sun was said to be larger than the Sun. It was also associated with evil. There was presumably something foreboding about it. That doesn't fit so well with a distant planet associated with wealth and agriculture.

It appears then that the Sumerians observed something in the skies that we rarely or never see nowadays, and this phenomenon may have had some connection to Saturn. When the original phenomenon faded, the secondary effect was brought forward, and we ended up replacing the Black Sun with Saturn in our calendars and myths.

I am of course speculating wildly at this point but there is a phenomenon that fits the bill, and that is the northern lights. This phenomenon is only visible close to our planet's poles these days, but it may have been visible farther to the south in Sumerian times if the Sun was more active back then.

The Sumerians may have noticed a connection between intense northern lights and bad weather, and hence deemed it evil. They may also have noticed some connection between northern lights and the luminosity of Saturn and its rings, and hence made a connection between the Black Sun and Saturn.

While I'm far from certain when it comes to any connection between solar flaring and the luminosity of Saturn, there is a proven connection between cosmic radiation and cloud formation. If we get a prolonged period with above normal radiation of our planet, we'll get more clouds, colder weather and harsher weather. The intensity of the Black Sun would therefore function as a climate forecasting tool for the Sumerians. Should the Black Sun shine bright for many days in a row, bad weather could be expected.

Gravity on Mercury

Fossil remains indicate that Earth's surface gravity was about one third of what it is today back in the days of the dinosaurs, and geological analysis of our planet indicate that Earth' diameter has doubled in size since these same dinosaurs were alive.

It appears then that surface gravity on rocky planets like Earth triple in strength when their diameters double due to expansion.

Any rocky planet, half the diameter of Earth, that has undergone little to no expansion, should therefore have a surface gravity roughly one third of what we have here on our planet.

As it turns out, we have a nearby planet that shows few signs of expansion, with half the diameter of Earth, and a geological makeup also similar to our planet, and its surface gravity is in fact roughly one third of what we have here on Earth.

That planet is Mars.

The numbers are as follows.

Relative diameter:

6,779km / 12,742km = 53%

Relative surface gravity:

3.7 / 9.8 = 38%

So far, so good. However, when we do the same calculations for Mercury, we get the following.

Relative diameter:

4,880km / 12,742km = 38%

Relative surface gravity:

3.7 / 9.8 = 38%

In this case, the difference in surface gravity is what we'd expect from Newtonian theory, namely a linear increase with diameter.

Seen from a Newtonian perspective, Mars is the odd one out. It has for some reason a less dense interior than Mercury and Earth. But mainstream science also holds that Earth's core has "puzzling structural complexities". Earth's interior is becoming incredibly complex, especially compared to Jan Lamprecht's model which he developed from the same seismic data.

It may therefore be that it is Mercury that is the odd one out, and not Mars. Mercury may have a smaller hollow at its center than is the case for Mars, and Earth back in the days of the dinosaurs. It may also be that Mercury's proximity to the Sun is making it supercharged due to the photoelectric effect, with this in turn affecting its gravity.

We can only speculate at this point. But there's no need to blindly accept that Earth's interior is mindbogglingly complex, and not relatively uniform throughout, with diminishing density as we get closer to the center, as suggested by Mr. Lamprecht.

Black Holes and Unicorns

Dividing a number by zero yields what's known as a mathematical singularity. The result of such a division is not infinite, but undefined. In the context of the real world, the result doesn't exist.

Any theoretical formula about the real world will therefore have to omit any singularities that may arise. One would have to put limits on the proposed formula. Consequently, honest scientists should always look out for singularities in their formulas and point out that their formulas break down at certain values.

Singularities are like red flags. They inform us of boundary conditions. In the context of physics, singularities indicate that there are limits to how dense, hot or otherwise extreme something can become before some fundamental mechanism kicks in to rectify things. That fundamental property is in my opinion the aether which makes space quantized rather than linear.

This means that things do not change in a linear manner when things get extreme. For instance, the electric force becomes suddenly weaker when things get extremely close together. The same goes for gravity. Extremely dense objects stop behaving as expected from linear formulas.

However, all of this is conveniently ignored when it comes to astrophysics.

Black holes, also known as gravitational singularities, have properties that are infinite. They are infinitely dense and infinitely hot. They are in other words physical impossibilities, yet they are presented to us as real.

A reason for this may be that it's fun to talk about impossible things. Just like unicorns, we can all form opinions about them. Some even claim to have seen them, even taken pictures of them. Yet, everyone knows deep down that they don't exist.

No-one Can Stop an Idea whose Time has Come

A month has gone by since I started a Facebook page called Anarkistene, which is Norwegian for "the anarchists". It's a page targeting my fellow Norwegians where I link to their local news and explain how anarchy would solve the problems described.

Norwegians have a tradition for local governance, and I know the local culture well, so I'm confident I should be able to build a reasonably large following, and things have gone well so far. I'm adding a new follower every three days on average, and discussions have been polite and constructive. There's a genuine curiosity related to the anarchist philosophy.

Adding to my confidence is the fact that people are tired of technocracy. There's disillusionment with the progressive idea that society should be run by experts. People are looking for a radical change, and anarchy is as radical as it gets.

Contrary to popular belief, anarchy is a philosophy sufficiently developed to serve as a realistic alternative to state power as the source of governance. It's not as abstract as many think, and my aim is to demonstrate this with examples and solutions.

I've adopted a simple process to grow my page. Every day, I add a few news stories to my page, each with a short description of an anarchist solution. I also comment on posts on other Norwegian pages to attract attention to my page.

None of this feels much like work. I enjoy the anarchist perspective, and I have no trouble defending it. Speaking on behalf of a philosophy, it's also easier to be radical. As long as a statement is true to the philosophy, it can be stated without moderation. I can for instance say that taxation is theft whenever taxation is discussed, and I can defend the position whenever someone tries to counter it.

With more than ten years of experience with the philosophy, I feel confident I can run the page without going afoul with its principles. My goal for 2024 is to grow the page to at least 100 followers.

Predictions for 2024

It looks like my observation a year ago has been confirmed. 2022 was a turning point and the start of a new era. Peak booster, peak Pride, peak Ukraine and peak global warming is behind us, and a new direction in politics and the economy has commenced.

This has not yet been fully realized by the elite. But I suspect that 2024 will be the year that the disaster, in their eyes, becomes apparent. There will be a push back, and this will lead to division and strife. However, they will not succeed. The tide has permanently changed.

The elites of the West are in for a rude awakening. The war in Ukraine will be revealed for the disaster that it is. Most likely, we'll see a collapse of the Ukraine army, with the Russians suddenly free to march on Kiev and other major cities. The Russians will demand far more than they did back in 2022, and the West will have no option but to sign whatever peace deal they are dealt.

The war in Gaza will also come to an end. It will be a victory of sorts for Israel. But the mess they've created will be near impossible to clean up. In the end, they'll have to invite Egypt in to help them sort things out. However, the rest of the world will by then have permanently changed their views on Israel and the West.

Trust in the dollar and Western technology has been eroded, and we'll see inflation and gold take off in a big way as a consequence. Once gold settles above $2,100, we'll see its price quickly move to $3,000. This follows from the fundamentals, and also technical analysis. Gold may well go up a whopping 50% relative to the dollar in 2024.

The stock market, and real-estate prices are not going to do nearly as well as gold. At best, they'll stay flat in nominal terms. At worst, they'll tank dramatically. Those invested in gold may see an opportunity to roll into real-estate or stocks in 2025. But in the meantime, we'll stay with our positions unchanged.
