Our planet is constantly absorbing energy from the Sun. Obviously heat and also other forms of energy like solar flares and coronal mass ejection's. For the purpose of this post I will be talking about the later coronal mass ejection's ( CME's ).
OK
A CME is a massive burst of plasma (ionized gas) emitted from the sun. The largest of which can be as much as 10 billion tones of plasma traveling at speeds of up to 2000 km per second.
You are correct, and it sounds pretty impressive, except space is a large place, and actually this stuff is pread so thinly that you wouldn't see it if you were in the middle of it (an unhealthy position for other reasons, though
).
When this ionized gas collides with the Earth it can distort the Earths magnetosphere.
Not correct. That stuff IS the Earth's magnetosphere.
The magnetosphere is the magnetic field surrounding the earth which is populated by electrons and ionized gas.
Not correct. The magnetic field is generated by the Earth's core. It traps ionized particles in the surrounding space, and THAT creates the magnetosphere.
The magnetic field spreads the CME forcing it around the earth and in effect protecting the planet from this attack. However a particularly large CME can compress the magnetosphere forcing some of its particles towards earth along magnet field lines as low as the upper atmosphere which causes the aurora borealis and magnetic storms. These particles would travel along the magnetic field lines until they met another magnetic force. The Earths magnetosphere reacts to this bombardment almost immediately and returns to normal after the CME has passed.
The particles are deflected by the magnetic field. And, yes, the magnetosphere changes shape and size according to solar activity.
In the past some of the very large geomagnetic storms have been of such a magnitude that they have disrupted power stations and left people without a power supply. Could it be that we have not, as in modern times, witnessed the worst of these CME's and magnetic storms.
Magnetic storms do not disrupt power stations directly, such a statement gives an impression of great forces that do not exist. They create various problems that might probagate break-downs, even in power stations. And yes, we will surely see such things in the future too.
If in the distant past a CME hit out planet with such force that it totally disrupted or magnetosphere forcing a polar shift, which has been speculated about, could not the effect of the Earths magnetic core have scared the surface of the planet as it reestablished a new North and South magnetic pole.
Wrong. Polar shifts are caused by mechanisms inside Earth's core. DUring a polar shift, the magnetic field might be weakened or even temporarily disappear, leaving us without a magnetosphere to protect us from some of the radiation from space. But you are confusing cause and effect.
The phenomenon know as ley lines could be the scaring left, magnetic fields as the Earth was forced to rebuild its magnetic poles.
What phenomenon? What exactly is ley lines?
In the book ' Secrets of the lost races' by Rene Noorbergen he writes- Just after the turn of the century and inventor Alexander Siemens ventured to the top of a pyramid accompanied by an Arab guide. When they reached the top of the pyramid the guide noticed that if he raised his arm with fingers outstretched he could hear a ringing in his ears. Siemens copied what the guide had done but felt a distinct prickling in his fingers.
Uhh, after having climbed a couple of hundred meters of pyramid in the Egyptian sun, I'm not surprised they felt strange
.
He guessed there must be something electromagnetic causing this and quickly manufactured a leyden jar ( device for collecting electrical energy) by drenching a news paper he had brought with the contents of a bottle of wine and wrapping the soaked paper around the empty bottle. Holding this make shift laden jar over his head it became more increasingly charge to a point where sparks began to fly out of it.
Entirely possible that there might have been some activity of static electricity in the dry air, but the story sounds fishy. A leyden jar (which is just a primitive capacitor) does not become charged just because you hold it over your head.
The guide ignorant to what Seines was doing accused Siemens of witchcraft and attempted to grab him. Siemens lowered the bottle towards the guide giving the Arab. The guide received such a shock from the sparking bottle that he was thrown from his feet. On recovering the guide left in a hurry. Siemens concluded that for some reason the pyramid was discharging a powerful flow of electromagnetic current, why he could not answer.
There is no such thing as "electromagnetic current". If the bottle had been charged when being haded over, they would both have received a shock. Quite frankly, I think I have another explanation to the whole story:
- Long climb in the middle of sun. They brought wine. ... Nuff said.
Could the above story be evidence of telluric energy ( Earths own source of energy ).
No it could not.
If the geomagnetic storms caused by the CME's somehow charge ley lines, in effect using the ley lines as magnetic field lines the electromagnetic charge would flow along these ley lines until they reached another magnetic force or in the case of the pyramid a device used to accumulate this electromagnetic charge much as Seimens did with the leyden jar. If this is the case are the pyramids by design or by accident accumulating this energy and did the ancient Egyptians know of this. If so did they tap into this energy and what could they have used it for.
Still missing an explanation of what "ley lines" are. Before we agree on what they ARE, it is futile to speculate what they DO.
