Undergraduate discovers tubes of plasma in the sky

Undergraduate discovers tubes of plasma in the sky. Admit it, that’s one of the coolest pictures you’ve ever seen. It looks like you could travel back and forth between Australia and China like a bank deposit in a pneumatic tube.

  • I dunno, it sorta look like a giant alien tentacle-hand reaching up out of the ground.

      • Fascinating theories... it being used to warm or cool the planet as necessary

        Plasma is a common matter. Its uses can be/are tremendous (already)

        It can cut through hard surfaces I need to know if it could keep a shape under great pressure... imagine travelling under water, through the Earth or be above the Earth walking with no fear of drowning, being pulverized or falling.

        • Our theories are pretty far out there,
          "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." 1 Corinthians 2:9

  • All I am thinking is... this has got to be part of G-d's Plans somehow...

    I am a little far out I know...

    I am thinking: Isaiah 49:11... Isaiah 11:16 and 19:23... and other places where (it seems to me) G-d is creating or will create or has created avenues and roads and highways for His people to use when the time is right.

    It could be a spiritual thing of course (Jesus being the WAY -and He is- to the Father and of course He being the road to the Father), however G-d DID move Israel from Egypt to the Promised Land (with a 40 year interlude) through a water highway and desert roads. The Bible if anything, when it comes to the Jews and other instances, seems to impress that the Jews and other instances are a micro version of the whole Planet and what can/will happen to it and those in it. For example I am always talking about Sodom and Gomorrah being a microcosm of what can happen to the entire world at some point.

    IF something similar to the Jews' exodus from the enslavement of an evil, super powered government is to happen at some point (the whole world becoming an evil government), how in the world to mobilize billions of people from all corners of the Planet to one place? Where there are kept until the end? Especially if (perhaps) the world's resources, and that includes transportation is under governmental/evil control?

    :-/ Then of course the question could be how would they/us access this highway? Perhaps endowed somehow spiritually? Or some kind of technological equipment? Uhm...

    Anyway I am done with my crazy talk...

    There is also the fun part about this being discovered by someone who isn't (at least not yet) a complete "learned" person... a person (yet) non corrupted by the "wisdom" of the world. Those of you who keep it real with the Bible know what I am talking about. G-d choosing the least to make discoveries and so on...

    • No telling what all is going on behind the scenes.

      Then Elisha prayed and said, "O LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see." And the LORD opened the servant's eyes and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. 2 Kings 6:17

      • Plasma highways connected and in the sky... why just discovered now? I mean seriously plasma and studies about what it can do are old... discovered in the 19th century. I would have thought someone would have discovered plasma highways when plasma was a big thing decades ago... if not over a century ago.

        Everything in the end happens when it must. Just wondering... why now? and telling myself that it means something beyond it being cool. Won't be surprised as part of spiritual endowment and/or maybe a Moses like person/people comes along and opens these highways for us. Sure we know they are there, it won't be completely un-explainable as to what is happening, BUT that takes nothing away from G-D. Uhm... that does put a lot in mind. As to why some places were destroyed and others were safe nearby in the Bible.

        I always say be prepared...

    • We are trained to see what we see. The insufficiently trained are in a better position to ask the right questions. This was my feel good story for the week.

  • It's nice to see an example of actual science, as opposed to the fraudulent climate 'science' we've been bombarded with for the past 20 years. However, Mikey Mann and his cohorts will now claim these plasma tubes are where all the heat has been hiding since 1997.

    • Yeah, and how long before they start blaming the plasma tubes on Globull Warming.

    • First thing I thought too. Plasma warming followed by plasmic climate change and then when those are proven false, plasmic climate disruption.

  • That's wonderful. Can we use plasma tubes to kill off ISIS or put oil sheikhs out of business?

  • Well, we would never let a tragedy like this occur in AMERIKA. Cleo would have had her work confiscated by her professors and been driven from the University in disgrace. In a couple of years the profs would have gotten a lucrative grant to find all this out and named the plasma tubes after themselves.

  • That's really pretty cool. Is Brian Williams going to claim he found it first, or will King Barky claim that the astronomer didn't build that?

    • It was an Australian undergrad so Brian Williams might still make claims but Obama is going to have trouble taking credit.
