Direct Observations of X-Rays Produced by Upward Positive Lightning

Toma Oregel-Chaumont, Antonio Sunjerga, Pasan Hettiarachchi +3

X-rays have been observed in natural downward cloud-to-ground lightning for over twenty years and in rocket-triggered lightning for slightly less. In both cases, this energetic rad…

Canonical Cortical Field Theories

Gerald K. Cooray, Vernon Cooray, Karl Friston

We characterise the dynamics of neuronal activity, in terms of field theory, using neural units placed on a 2D-lattice modelling the cortical surface. The electrical activity of ne…

Hints of the Photonic Nature of the Electromagnetic fields in Classical Electrodynamics and its connection to the electronic charge and vacuum energy density

Vernon Cooray, Gerald Cooray, Marcos Rubinstein +1

The electromagnetic fields of a long dipole working without dispersive and dissipative losses are analyzed in the frequency domains. The dipole produces radiation in bursts of dura…

Laser-guided lightning

Aurélien Houard, Pierre Walch, Thomas Produit +25

Electric currents circulating between charged clouds and the earth surface during lightning discharges are responsible for considerable damages and casualties. It is therefore impo…

Hints of the Quantum Nature of the Universe in Classical Electrodynamics and Their Connection to the Electronic Charge and Dark Energy

Vernon Cooray, Gerald Cooray, Marcos Rubinstein +1

The electromagnetic fields of linear radiating systems working without dispersive and dissipative losses are analyzed both in the time and the frequency domains. In the case of the…

Could macroscopic dark matter (macros) give rise to mini-lightning flashes out of a blue sky without clouds?

Vernon Cooray, Gerald Cooray, Marcos Rubinstein +1

A recent study pointed out that macroscopic dark matter (macros) traversing through the earth's atmosphere can give rise to hot and ionized channels similar to those associated wit…

Comment on Straight lightning as a signature of macroscopic dark matter By Nathaniel Starkman, Harrison Winch, Jagjit Singh Sidhu, and Glenn Starkman

V. Cooray, G. Cooray, M. Rubinstein +1

In this short paper, we present some comments on the paper: Straight lightning as a signature of macroscopic dark matter, by Nathaniel Starkman, Harrison Winch, Jagjit Singh Sidhu,…
