Is Solar Wind Formed by Planetary Resonance and Solar Cycles?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the claim that solar wind is formed by the resonance of orbiting planets and solar cycles, as proposed in a controversial paper. Participants express skepticism regarding the validity of the paper, highlighting that the author is a civil engineer with no relevant expertise in astrophysics. The consensus is that the claims lack scientific credibility and should not be taken seriously.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of solar wind and its properties
  • Basic knowledge of planetary resonance
  • Familiarity with solar cycles and their effects
  • Critical evaluation of scientific literature
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the mechanisms of solar wind generation
  • Study planetary resonance and its implications in astrophysics
  • Explore the scientific consensus on solar cycles
  • Learn how to critically assess scientific papers and their authors' credentials
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, astrophysicists, science communicators, and anyone interested in understanding the dynamics of solar phenomena and evaluating scientific claims.

so the solar wind is the result of resonance of orbiting planets, and solar cycles too, after this paper

Welcome to PF;
Sure - why not?
But be careful about drawing conclusions from too few papers.

The author of that paper is a civil engineer specializing in water management who has tried to make his own personal theories on several topics completely unrelated to his field of study. He's a crackpot, pure and simple. Don't believe anything he says about anything outside of civil engineering.
