Getting back to our own solar system today, what keeps everything in place? Given that gravity theory is only<br />
capable <strong>of</strong> predicting the interactive behaviour <strong>of</strong> two bodies and not <strong>of</strong> systems that contain more than that, it<br />
seems there must be some stabilising feedback mechanism that can modify gravity. In the solar system, planets<br />
orbit the Sun, moons orbit planets and everything seems to be stable, but remember, this is only a snapshot in<br />
terms <strong>of</strong> the time that has already passed.<br />
<strong>Our</strong> star is a component within two electric circuits;<br />
one interstellar and the other local to the solar system<br />
itself. Without exception, all electric and magnetic<br />
circuits must be ‘complete’ in order for current to flow<br />
and for magnetic fields to exist. The colossal interstellar<br />
maintenance currents that flow into the Sun enter at<br />
its north and south poles [6-14] . The other internal solar<br />
system circuit has positive protons drifting away from<br />
the Sun through the heliosphere to the heliopause and<br />
negative electrons drifting from all regions <strong>of</strong> the<br />
heliopause back towards the Sun.<br />

We must remember that the heliosphere actually is<br />
like a sphere, so ‘charge drift’ is occurring from every<br />
direction towards the Sun’s plasmasphere at the same<br />
time. This, however, is concentrated in some regions<br />
more than others, for example in particular along the<br />
flat disk-like structure around the sun’s equator known as the ‘ecliptic’. It is within or close to the ecliptic that<br />
the orbits <strong>of</strong> all the planets are to be found and the disk itself extends out to the solar system’s ‘heliopause’.<br />
Think <strong>of</strong> the heliopause and the heliosphere together as one body, like a slightly dented globe at top and bottom<br />
that would appear like a doughnut if it were flattened more. In electrical terms, the positive Sun would be<br />
known as the ‘anode’ and the more negative heliopause would be known as the ‘cathode’. Just as electrons do<br />
in a normal electric circuit when they flow from cathode to anode, they will therefore naturally flow from the<br />
heliopause towards the positive Sun. If you had a voltage meter with very long test leads and were able to put<br />
one lead on the Sun and the other on, say, the Earth, then you would find the Earth to be negative, but not nearly<br />
as negative as measuring the voltage at, say, Mars, or at any <strong>of</strong> the other planets further away. Think then <strong>of</strong> the<br />
planets as bodies that are negatively charged to different extents, floating within this gradient <strong>of</strong> charged plasma<br />
that changes from a positive maximum at the Sun to a negative maximum at the heliopause.<br />
