The article about solar flares from 2010 that you dragged out of the Wayback Machine is not a peer reviewed paper or even a news article about a peer-reviewed work, it is just a new article about some interesting observations people were kicking around 15 years ago, and it is a “university work” only in the tangential sense that it was published on Stanford’s web site. You then proceed to make a bunch of hypotheses from those observations which have not been subject to peer review. After you get a reputable science journal to accept and publish it, we will see how that goes.
Judging from the fact that scientific consensus hasn’t changed since the other, 1997, article, I’m guessing its topic still suffers from what the article refers to as follows: “… much of the subsequent research of this genre proved vulnerable to technical criticism and unpersuasive to the scientific mainstream.”
I wonder why that might be so?
Two labs looked at the sulfur balls.
Aw, say it ain’t so, another apologist puts his clapped out wheezy old pony behind his cart…
Im not angry, just disappointed…
Can they save them, or are you going to grow a snatch?
Add to your religious footnotes the following

A Question About the Dimension of Nothingness
“They speak of this thing called the ‘dimension of nothingness’. What is the dimension of nothingness? It occurred to me: ‘It’s when a mendicant, going totally beyond the dimension of infinite consciousness, aware that “there is nothing at all”, enters and remains in the dimension of nothingness. This is called the dimension of nothingness.’
And so … I was entering and remaining in the dimension of nothingness. While I was in that meditation, perception and focus accompanied by the dimension of infinite consciousness beset me.
Then the Buddha came up to me with his psychic power and said, ‘Moggallāna, Moggallāna! Don’t neglect the dimension of nothingness, brahmin! Settle your mind in the dimension of nothingness; unify your mind and immerse it in the dimension of nothingness.’
And so, after some time … I entered and remained in the dimension of nothingness.
So if anyone should be rightly called a disciple who attained to great direct knowledge with help from the Teacher, it’s me.”
God would have no skin in the game if the game were entirely rigged
I think in religious parlance, whenever I hear the phrase nothingness, it aptly encapsulates what is about to be offered by way of explanation.
I am unaware of any objective evidence, as I have neither seen nor heard any, that nothing as a state is even possible. Though when my consciousness eventually disappears along with the countless others that “mysteriously” vanish forever when their organic brains finally die, I think nothing might be a fair description of what I will experience, if indeed experience is the right word.
