Magnetic Portals Connect Sun and Earth 235
MaxwellEdison writes "Scientists have discovered evidence of magnetic portals connecting the Earth and the Sun every 8 minutes. 'Several speakers at the Workshop have outlined how FTEs form: On the dayside of Earth (the side closest to the sun), Earth's magnetic field presses against the sun's magnetic field. Approximately every eight minutes, the two fields briefly merge or "reconnect," forming a portal through which particles can flow. The portal takes the form of a magnetic cylinder about as wide as Earth. The European Space Agency's fleet of four Cluster spacecraft and NASA's five THEMIS probes have flown through and surrounded these cylinders, measuring their dimensions and sensing the particles that shoot through.'"

That would be a terribly depressing eight minute journey. Unless you became a human comet and smashed into Mercury or something, which would just be badass.

It is impossible for an academic
deified Queer ONE god to give
birth to, or breast-feed a Baby.
Bible fraud will destroy fools,

Adam and Eve never existed.
Without profit, there is no god.

Maybe we can use a large sphere or ring shaped device made up of a super strong magnetic metal that can create its own gravity field.
With this device we may be able to travel at the speed of light to the sun!
In fact, if we increase the magnetic s of this device and focus it on another "sphere" or ring device, maybe we can travel faster than the speed of light! We could have instantaneous travel!
Wow. Somebody should make a movie or tv show about this. We could call it Sphere Gate or The Ring .
