The Marklund convection – “that electric current flow through space will naturally cause a segregation of elements and compounds”, makes me wonder if the way that molten rock flows to the surface of the planet and seems to naturally cause the segregation and formation of different rocks and minerals, that this may somehow be the same thing!

I think you are on to something. Of course electricity has been generally ignored in geology, and I have often found the textbook explanations wanting.

Very true. Much, if not most of the literature in geology informs the textbooks almost entirely through the lense of chemistry.

Someone once quipped that this approach is akin to showing a new sports car by forcing interested buyers to examine it only through a microscope.

Dear Dr. Clarage i’ve been a fan of your work since I discovered the videos on the thunderbolts project, though Matthew Ehret’s channel. Thank you for publishing your researches. Since I began to study the birkeland currents and the marklund convection, I’ve been trying to link that with the flow of bioelectricity in the body. I believe that all the energetic meridians, and all the emotional flow that follows intention in the body they are bioelectrical. It seems that they are tiny birkeland currents and they ARE bioelectrical convections. Do you believe this correspondance can be thought that way?

Jose, in short - Yes

There is a linked hierarchy from intention to electrical to chemical to muscle & organ. All are linked, and the flow of energies can go both ways. I see electrical activity as the medium through which intention acts - though the intention is more rarified than the electricity, just as electricity in the body is more rarified than the bulk chemical changes.

In the above I think we could substitute "emotion" for "intention", maybe also substitute "intuition".

Good stuff - good questions.

Thank you, for proposing the substitution of emotion and intuition for intention. I believe it opens up a lot of good questions. I didn’t put like this before, but I liked very much this approach. At least for the emotion part, each basic emotion has form and function, and yes, they are intention. Thank you for this.

I'd like to ask one thing I've been thinking about for years. Some explanations in physics seem strange to me as an absolute layman. This applies, among other things, to the depiction of the Marklund Convection in this article. It relates to the right hand rule. We have an electric field and a force acting between charges. Perpendicular to that, we have a magnetic field and a force acting between the magnetic poles. Perpendicular to both of these fields, we have only the force. Between what? Like between nothing? There has to be a force between two "somethings", right? The electric and magnetic fields serve as energy storage. What serves as another energy storage that's neutral to both fields? What can store energy in metals and dielectrics at the same time? I think it could be the temperature gradient and hot vs cold could be the missing third polarity to +- and NS. That is, suddenly the force mentioned above that leads from nothing to nothing would lead from hot to cold.

When a cross section of an electrical wire is shown with current flowing through it, the radial direction shows the electric field, the circular direction shows the magnetic field, so the current in the wire could be the result of a temperature gradient. Perhaps not for nothing is the positive electrode sometimes called hot and the negative electrode cold. I know that's not always true, but I think in those cases a larger variety of factors play a role. The Marklund Convection illustration above seems to me to suggest this as well. In this case the electric field is shown axially and the temperature gradient radially.

According to the Seebeck/Peltier effect, a current can also be generated by a temperature gradient. What if in a wire the current is caused by this effect and in a Marklund Convection it is caused by an electric field?

Electromotive force vs electrostatic potential?

Batteries - different ions at electrodes, different friction, different velocity, different temperature? We perceive and measure this as voltage.

Suppose there were a temperature gradient on the third axis. Would it be possible to use some equations to calculate, for example, the magnetic field strength (force), from the electric field (force) and the temperature field (force) TxE? Sort of an analogy to the Lorentz force and its calculation. Or calculate the electric force from the cross product TxB?

I sent you an email a few days ago with notes that further elaborate on these questions and also put them in the context of isopontentials around permanent magnets and gravity, where you need to know Bob Greenyer's work on Ken Shoulders EVOs and similar structures and fractal toroidal moments.

Thank you for any opinion, comment or insight :-)

Zdenek, thank you for the thoughts. I might have missed your email.

Your "one question" seems to have a dozen sub-thoughts. A little difficult for me to find the ztimus.

The study of plasma from the perspective of Weberian electrodynamics is a clear necessity.
