Thunderheads, Atomic Bombs & Solar Flares
Thunderheads, Atomic Bombs, Solar Flares. All pretty much same-same. Upward convection builds the “stem”, then spreads out into the anvil shape of a thunderhead. Same thing in building the mushroom head of an Atomic Bomb
That roiling puffiness about midway down the stem of the Atomic Bomb is the same as a Supra-Arcade Downflow (SAD) in a solar flare/coronal mass ejection. Solar flares are Atomic Bombs and Sun Spots are bomb craters.
The fissile Actinides are the most electropositive elements in the Periodic Table. They are very unhappy in the plasma state. They want their electrons and they want them NOW !
Ergo, on a trip taking a few billion years, the Actinides struggle their way topside to get their electrons and so they drop out of plasma state first.
As this bubble ascends to the cooler conditions near the surface, the gas condenses to liquid and form droplets with very high surface tension. The Actinide-rich droplets coalesce much as water does in forming rain droplets in a thunderhead.
Criticality is inversely related to temperature. High temperature suppresses fission so the droplets continue to coalesce and gather greater mass until the critical mass approaches the surface and cools sufficiently to detonate.
This explains stellar evolution, with several billion of years to achieve full luminosity. Our Sun only achieved full luminosity about 500 million years ago. The Cambrian “Explosion of Life” with the first vertebrates.
The solar flare detonations also explain the fact that the corona of the Sun is millions of degrees while the surface the Sun is about the same as the core of the Earth — about 5,500 to 6,000 degrees C.
In essence, the Sun is a fission boost device, the Tsar Bomba. A Hydrogen Bomb encased in spent Uranium. Fission-Fusion-Fission.
Only demonstrated once but the concept was abandoned. Too heavy for rocketry and very dirty. Impractical for any tactical purpose. The Sun may better be described as a delayed fission boost device.
Dr. M. A. Padmanabha Rao identified solar flares as atomic bombs in his 2013 paper “Discovery of Self-Sustained 235-U Fission Causing Sunlight by Padmanabha Rao Effect”. Dr. Rao observed several isotopes which are signature daughter products of nuclear fission. 113Xe, 131I, 137Cs, 95Zr, 144Cs, 134I, 140Ba, 133I, 140La.

Hi Richard and PSI Readers,
“Bethe’s work on nuclear reactions led him to discover in 1938 how the brightest stars generate their energy. Dubbed the ‘carbon-oxygen-nitrogen’ cycle, these elements sequentially acquire four hydrogen nuclei before releasing a helium nucleus and a burst of energy, with carbon atoms effectively acting as a catalyst. Later, Bethe realized that smaller stars such as our own Sun are lit by the direct fusion of hydrogen nuclei. He was awarded a Nobel Prize for these discoveries in 1967, as well as for his work on nuclear physics in general.”

“Hans Bethe, who discovered the violent force behind sunlight, helped devise the atom bomb” (https://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/08/world/americas/hans-bethe-98-helped-create-atom-bomb.html)
Have a good day, Jerry

Hi PSI Readers,
Even though my previous comment is critical of some of what Richard wrote, he draw our attention to some important observations which I have been pondering for some time about the Sun and its flares, or the lack to them. Which flares are obviously being caused by natural nuclear fusion bombs when the pressure of the sun’s gaseous matter in a certain volume of space becomes great enough. In the hydrogen bomb this needed pressure is created by a fission bomb. But the mass of the Sun and its gravity in its interior becomes sufficient to set off a uncontrollable fusion explosion which blasts some of the sun’s interior matter from far deep in the sun’s interior to form what we see as a flare that extends far beyond the sun’s condensed surface.
To help you follow what I pondered, I need to ask a question: What are the “sun spots’ which Galileo observed with his telescope? My simple answer is that the spots are ‘darker’ because that area of the sun’s surface is cooler than the surface about the spot. Next, I imagine that the “explosion” of the fusion bomb creates a huge bubble deep in the sun’s interior which is only slowly filled with matter which surrounds the bubble. Hence after a period during which ‘many’ sunspots’ are observed, we can imagine that the interior pressure is less so that nearly no fusion bombs are spontaneously exploding. For it takes time for the mass of the flares to fall back to the sun’s condensed dense surface.
So given this general description of what I imagine, anyone really interested in what Rickard and I have written, should be able to follow (understand) which I have described.
For as Einstein stated: “If you cannot explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” And therein lies a problem, for I have observed and experienced—that one often cannot believe how simple it can be—as one dismisses the simple explanation.
Have a good day, Jerry

Understanding something and having the ability to do anything about it are two different things.

Well, you’re almost right, in essence; however, knowing the truth and understanding the situation are the most important steps in the business of “doing anything about it.”
Cheers, JaKo

JANUARY 29, 2023 Scientists Struggle to Understand Why Antarctica Hasn’t Warmed for Over 70 Years Despite Rise in CO2
Scientists are scrambling to explain why the continent of Antarctica has shown Net Zero warming for the last seven decades and almost certainly much longer. The lack of warming over a significant portion of the Earth undermines the unproven hypothesis that the carbon dioxide humans add to the atmosphere is the main determinant of global climate.

So, the craters on the Moon and Mars were “blasted’ into them? That would make sense as a lot of craters are VERY shallow with a “tip” in the center going upward…like it was caused by a “flash”.
