(ORDO NEWS) — Scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles have successfully reproduced the type of gravity found in stars and planets inside a glass sphere 3 centimeters in diameter.
Using microwaves, scientists heated a sphere of gaseous plasma to 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit (2,760 °C) inside a sphere of glass.
They then used sound waves to create a spherical gravitational field as well as plasma convection.
During the tests, sound waves inside the sphere created gravity, preventing the hot plasma from moving. As a result, the movement of the plasma in the glass sphere begins to produce a magnetic current.
It is reported that this study will greatly help ensure the safety of astronauts, as well as the proper operation of satellites. The fact is that changing solar activity can cause a direct impact on the Earth‘s energy system.
The interference thus caused, in turn, often causes problems with radio communications, navigation satellite systems and power systems.
However, the ability of scientists to solve these problems is seriously limited – the gravity of the Earth affects laboratory research, which is why scientists cannot fully create conditions that would be similar to conditions in space.
