I have been observing this site for quite awhile and usually am content to be a silent observer. The article relating something from Popular Science reminded me of this revelation. I wondered if anyone else had seen this one...

Michael Jon,
I finally got around to reading that article in Popular Mechanics. It is typical of the solid Earth model and the way in which they interpret seismographs.
Seismologists have set up parameters in terms of gravity and its penetration even though they don't know what causes gravity. They artificially correspond a certain amount of gravity to a certain amount of mass, based on the Cavendish experiments, and then apply this measurement uniformly through the planet. The workings of the tides show that gravity isn't uniformly penetrating, but they don't seem to accept this. Then when they get the results back from seismographs they interpret according to their pre-conceived parameters and congratulate each other and claim confirmation.
There is no reason why the core would spin at a different rate than the rest of the planet. After a few million years, the two should have come to spin at the same rate.
And even assuming that the spinning core were to generate the magnetosphere, how could the magnetosphere pass through the athenosphere, which is supposed to be composed of hot, plastic rock? Heat kills magnetic properties, so their model can't work. There are even more incongruencies. If the athenosphere is so hot, how is it that deep focus quakes exist there? Quakes need brittle rock.
If you argue these points, they just doge around and say that more research is necessary.
Cater tells that the difference in rotation between the atmosphere and the crust of the Earth, which both contain a charge, accounts for the generation of the magnetosphere. Unfortunately, since science doesn't accept the existence of low frequency particles, they can't recognize this congruent and obvious mechanism.
I can't believe what a bunch of monkeys and dim-wits we human beings are. The king has no clothes. Some things are obvious but nobody is independent enough to figure them out. It is not that scientists don't have enough intelligence, it is more of a psychological thing and a matter of not being an independent thinker.
Anyway, I have attached something by Cater on the subject.
