Almost 1,000 Mysterious Magnetic Filaments Discovered Around The Milky Way's Core

Thirty-five years ago, researchers discovered that around the center of our galaxy, there are mysterious long magnetic filaments. Their origin has perplexed scientists for decades – but new observations might change what we currently know about them.
They didn’t puzzle PC/EU proponents. In fact, they were predicted.
As reported in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, the new radio observations reveal that astronomers have only been looking at a small fraction of these filaments: There are at least 10 times more out there than previously known, pushing the total number to nearly 1,000 of these 150-light-year-long cosmic strands.  
You don’t say? And just a few decades ago, when such a thing was suggested, the mainstream in general was VERY skeptical.
“We have studied individual filaments for a long time with a myopic view,” the paper's lead author and original discoverer of the filaments Farhad Yusef-Zadeh, from Northwestern University, said in a statement. 

“Now, we finally see the big picture — a panoramic view filled with an abundance of filaments."
Is that the same thing as "ubiquitous", something else the mainstream was highly skeptical about?
"This is a watershed in furthering our understanding of these structures."
Only if you look outside mainstream thinking.
The discovery of so many filaments allowed the team to get more insights. For example, it seems unlikely that they are related to supernova remnants. It's more likely they are a product of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy.
Unfortunately, it would appear that you aren’t looking beyond mainstream gnomes.
However, there is still so much to find out. Why do they cluster? Why are they evenly spaced, like the string of a harp?

“They almost resemble the regular spacing in solar loops,” Yusef-Zadeh said.
You don't say?

Here’s another source on this discovery …

https://news.northwestern.edu/stories/2 ... ys-center/
Stretching up to 150 light years long, the one-dimensional strands (or filaments) are found in pairs and clusters, often stacked equally spaced, side by side like strings on a harp.
Hmmmmm. Pairs, you say? Equally spaced, side by side? Like Birkeland currents?
Filaments within clusters are separated from one another at perfectly equal distances
Again, very curious. Almost like the filaments in a plasma focus?

BeAChooser the photo from the article you linked looks kind of simillar to the photo of the terella from here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birkeland_current

Of course, terrellas are ancient stuff, now computer simulations are better.
Do I need to explain why the real thing is always better than a simulation? Are terrellas so expensive today?

Do they accept the fact that there are things they don't know they don't know, and in consequence - they can never be sure that the computer simulation of reality is perfect?

Terrellas have been used until the late 20th century to attempt to simulate the Earth's magnetosphere, but have now been replaced by computer simulations.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrella

I think it's all about image. They do not want to be seen near a real terrella, else they end up like Birkeland did - at least for a couple of decades.
Birkeland's theory of the aurora continued to be dismissed by mainstream astrophysicists after his death in 1917. ....

Proof of Birkeland's theory of the aurora only came in 1967

Yes, indeed.

And let me add a further observation about the observations. Look closely at this image of some of the 1000 filaments they found:

https://cdn.iflscience.com/images/923b6 ... detail.jpg

The article (and scientists in their paper) said that the filaments came in pairs. What they didn’t say is that the pairs of filaments are twisted … helically wound. Look at the large cluster of filaments in the middle of the right side of the image. I see at least 3 pairs of filaments interacting that are interacting in this fashion … twisting about one another. Look at the 2 pairs of isolated filaments to the right of that cluster near the bottom of the image. Both appear helically wound … interacting like Birkeland currents. Look at the other large major cluster of filaments to the left of the centerline in the image. Again, several of the pairs appear to be interacting in a helically twisted fashion. This behavior is highly significant … and completely ignored by the mainstream once again … because they can’t begin to explain it in logical fashion. But EU proponents can explain it.

Currents in space: It burns.......

It never ceases to amaze me the lengths that the mainstream will go to in order to avoid using the proper scientific term for a "Birkeland current". They use about every euphemism under the sun, but God forbid they should actually use the proper scientific term.

I do think it's hilarious that there's no real scientific way to avoid the reality of the existence of currents in space. It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion. They can't handle it, but they keep running into the evidence wherever they look.

It should be interesting to see how the mainstream "deals' with JWST deep field images that show "mature" and 'massive" galaxies as far as it can see into the past as well. The concept of galaxy evolution over time is one of the few things they're 'stuck" with in "big bang" theory that is almost certain to become a noose around their neck when it comes to JWST images.

Looking forward to the JWST images with glee. :)
