Truth Or Error
"Truth,
crush to earth, shall rise again,
The
eternal years of God are hers,
But
Error, wounded, writhes in pain,
And
dies among his worshipers."*

A stanza from the poem "The Battle-Field" by William Cullen Bryan 1794-1878
When two competing theories are presented for the purpose of determining which is true and
which is in error; there comes a time when one must stand-alone. That time has come
for me in my theory, "The Magnetohydrodynamic Motor Theory", which I have
shortened to the geomotor theory. The opposing theory is, "The
Magnetohydrodynamic Dynamo Theory", which has also been shortened to the geodynamo
theory. One of these theories is in error and the other is the truth.
Now if my theory were anything like the geodynamo theory, then peer review would be
appropriate, since there are geophysicists who could evaluate the theory. The
geomotor theory involves a completely new dimension and there are no experts in this
theory except yours truly. In addition this theory starts with the basic theory in
electricity and magnetism and gradually includes thermodynamics, relativity, and
concepts foreign to the geodynamo theory. For peer review, this requires that
my theory must be reviewed by a group of people who have the same age, education, and
social standing as the person whose work is to be reviewed. I cannot and will not be
subjected to this type of evaluation by a group of people who know nothing about the
geomotor theory. This reminds me of the days in which I taught physics at McNeese
State University and was evaluated by freshmen.
Errors in the geodynamo theory will be pointed out. The error appeared when
reversal of the earth's magnetic field was first accepted around 1963. At that time it was
thought that electrons traveling eastward in the earth could account for the earth's
normal magnetic field. It was further thought that electrons only could account for
the field whether it was a normal field or a reverse field. No thought of positive
charges producing a field was considered. There are approximately as many positive
charges in the earth's interior as there are free electrons to produce a magnetic field.
For reversal of earth's magnetic field, the flow of electrons must reverse
and flow westward which can be shown to be unlikely. Positive charge flowing
westward was ruled out because of their size and inability to move through a medium like
electrons can. This reversal required a switching action of the flow of electrons
from eastward to westward, which is also very unlikely.
The geomotor theory uses the concept of relativity to show that electrons do not flow
eastward, but rather the relative motion of electrons and observer as the earth rotates on
its axis gives rise to the magnetic field. The definition of relative motion is the
difference in speed of electrons as they rotate around the earth relative to the speed of
the observer as he rotates around the earth. With this definition of relativity, one
can then apply it to positive charges, which are located in the center of the earth, with
the result that these two vector fields must add up to produce the magnetic field measured
on the surface of the earth. Free charges in motion will produce a magnetic field, whether
they are positive or negative. For every electron available to produce a magnetic
field, there has to also be a positive charge, or put another way the ratio of negative
charges to positive charges in the earth must be approximately equal to one.
Since the positive charges in the earth are further from the observer than the electrons
their relativistic effects are greatest which compensates partially for the fact that the
observer is closest to the electrons as they rotate around the earth. This would
make a reversal more likely. In addition the electrons are repelled from the center
of the earth due to the heat of the interior, and are attracted to the center of the earth
due to the difference in charge between the positive and negative charges. As the
interior of the earth gets hotter this would cause electrons to move closer to the
observer who is on the surface of the earth thereby reducing the magnetic field due to
electrons and would add to the possibility of a reversal.
The geodynamo theory depends on a switching action to produce a reversal. The geomotor
theory depends on a thermostatic action to produce a reversal. In the geomotor theory a
reversal from normal to reverse depends on how hot the interior of the earth is, which
would cause the electron cloud to be pushed away from the center and nearer the surface of
the earth. This would decrease the effectiveness of electrons to produce a magnetic
field. As the center of the earth heats up, more electrons become available as well
as more positive charges for the interior region, however the extra electrons produced are
destined for a region where their effectiveness is reduced due to their position,
therefore a reversal becomes more likely.
In the center of the earth, there is the velocity of the positive charges, the
perpendicular lines of magnetic force, and a resulting force that is mutually
perpendicular to the velocity of charges and to the lines of magnetic force. The
equivalent to the parameters used in mass spectrometers. This resulting force on positive
charges will cause the solid core to move in such a manner as to increase its rotational
energy. This could account for the heating up of the interior of the earth as well
as the global warming that we are experiencing at the present time. The result of this
force on positive charges would cause the solid core to rotate faster than the mantle and
crust. It was determined that the core rotates approximately one extra revolution in 400
years.** How do we know that this electric and magnetic force is the cause of the
core rotating faster than the crust and mantle? We do not know for certainty, but we
know that a tremendous amount of energy is required and this could be the source of that
energy. We also know that global warming is occurring and the cause of this could be
due to energy input from this type of source. This type of energy input will
continue until the electron cloud is forced outward from the center of the earth causing
the normal magnetic field to be replaced with a reversed field.
**Wei-jia et al, 13 December 1996, Science, vol 274, "Planet Within a Planet"
When the normal field is replaced with a reversed field, then the force imposed on
positive charges will be reversed, causing a cooling effect to occur because the force
will cause the eastward rotation of the solid core to slow down. This could very well
cause global cooling to occur which could then lead to another ice age.
In
Summary
When both types of charges (positive and negative) are present in a rotating system with
positive charges locked into central region and negative charges free to move radially
outward depending on the internal temperature of the central region, as present in the
earth, then one can expect relativity to act in such a way that the magnetic polarity of
the system is dependent on the radial location of the electron cloud. In this way
the normal field would depend on temperature of the interior. If the temperature
were too hot, the electron cloud would move radially outward reducing the normal field
until a reversal occurs, when this occurs, cooling would ensue. The thermostatic
action requires that a heating action occurs with a normal field which would cause a
reversal that would lead to a cooling action, which would allow the electron cloud to be
pulled radially inward due to electrostatic forces on the electron cloud, causing the
reversed field to change to a normal field. The evidence that this has occurred in the
past is present throughout the Cenozoic Era with the ice ages, then with the occurrence of
global warming causing the retreat of these ice sheets.
The above paragraph is the result of 30 years of personal effort without the benefit of
grant monies, seven copyright articles dated 1975, 1976, 1995, 1997, 1999, and another in
1999, and still two others pending in 2000. A number of papers were presented to AGU
and one to IUGG99 in Birmingham, England. No peer review was involved because that
would require me to give up my copyrights. No publications were allowed for the same
reason. In spite of that, I still maintain that my theory (The Magnetohydrodynamic
Motor Theory), the geomotor theory is correct.
