A Semiconductor film by Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt shot at the NASA Space Sciences Laboratory, UC Berkeley, California, USA.
"The secret lives of invisible magnetic fields are revealed as chaotic ever-changing geometries. All action takes place around NASA's Space Sciences Laboratories, UC Berkeley, to recordings of space scientists describing their discoveries. Actual VLF audio recordings control the evolution of the fields as they delve into our inaudible surroundings, revealing recurrent ‘whistlers' produced by fleeting electrons. Are we observing a series of scientific experiments, the universe in flux, or a documentary of a fictional world?"

Scientists should really reconsider the term
"hairy ball."
I laughed like a second grader when I heard that.
I love this. We just started talking about the sun in Astronomy.
You're twisting my melon, man!
So magnetic fields are comprised entirely of electrons? And electrons create the magnetic fields as a byproduct of their movement? Does that mean that magnetism is also subject to the 'duality' principle of electrons, in that they would show qualities of both particles and waves? But magnetic fields can move through a vacuum, right? Uh...uhhhhh...
You're twisting my melon, man.
