Space can expand or contract inside of a Warp Bubble This means Gravity behaves as a Magnetic Field only with higher Energies!
Instead of the relatively stable environment that was expected at the brink of interstellar space, the Voyagers have encountered what some scientists have described as a «magnetic jacuzzi,» a region where the sun's magnetic field appears to be ripping apart and reconnecting, forming bubbles millions of miles across.
This illustration shows how that bubble is shaped by the interstellar magnetic field and flow of particles from interstellar space.
The bubble in question is actually a field of magnetic plasma, and the bigger this field gets, the faster it will travel, powered by solar winds made of particles hurtling from the sun at a million miles per hour.
«Instead of a prolonged, comet - like tail, this rough bubble - shape of the heliosphere is due to the strong interstellar magnetic field — much stronger than what was anticipated in the past — combined with the fact that the ratio between particle pressure and magnetic pressure inside the heliosheath is high,» said Kostas Dialynas, a space scientist at the Academy of Athens in Greece and lead author on the study.
«The forerunner to the phenomenon is a violent eruption on the Sun's surface — also known as coronal mass ejections or CME, where bubbles of hot plasma and gas in the form of particles, electrons, and a magnetic field are hurled in the direction of the Earth,» says Per Høeg.
Abstract: The influence of magnetic fields (B - fields) in the formation and evolution of bipolar bubbles, due to the expanding ionization fronts (I - fronts) driven by the Hii regions that are formed and embedded in filamentary molecular clouds, has not been well - studied yet.
In addition to the anisotropic expansion of I - fronts into a filament, B - fields are expected to introduce an additional anisotropic press... ▽ More The influence of magnetic fields (B - fields) in the formation and evolution of bipolar bubbles, due to the expanding ionization fronts (I - fronts) driven by the Hii regions that are formed and embedded in filamentary molecular clouds, has not been well - studied yet.
The cause, according to a theory advanced by PPPL physicist David Gates and colleagues at the Laboratory, lies in the tendency of bubble - like islands that form in the plasma that fuels fusion reactions to shed heat and grow exponentially — a runaway growth that disrupts the crucial current that completes the magnetic field that holds the plasma together.
As The Atlantic correctly pointed out, Earth already has its own, natural protective bubble — the magnetosphere, a region of space that surround the planet in which its magnetic field controls the charged particles found nearby.
However, in a previous study involving Cluster, plasma turbulence was observed in the magnetosheath, the region between Earth's bow shock, where the solar wind meets the magnetic field of the Earth, and the magnetosphere — the magnetic bubble which surrounds it.
