I remember back in grad school, someone calculating the 138th harmonic term of some resonant nuclear force.

I remember thinking “Why?”

WHY does it occur? Well, the Sun is a sphere of massive matter after all. If one hits it, it will ring like a bell tolls. Perhaps an outburst, a giant mass ejection a thousand years ago left the current harmonies in the wake of its shock wave? Like the first bubble of vapor in a kettle of boiling water reaching the surface and popping. Leaving behind rings of waves that are then reflected on the edges of the kettle and case an interferance pattern. Stuff like that happens everywhere all the time, like even inside of our own bodies here and now. It’s the phenomena that anectotically inspired Isaac Newton (the apple stuff is later made up from Biblical inspiration).

So there’s a “why” for you. Ask any honest heilophysicist and they will tell you that there exists no credible theory about why the Sun does what it does. So any reasonable guess is a candidate, there is no look-up-answer.

THE AGENDA, THE LIE, AND THE FACTS

“Co -founder of Greenpeace, Patrick Moore: “Moore is now a director for the CO2 Coalition, a nonprofit group that includes scientists devoted to highlighting the benefits of carbon dioxide. He is also the author of a new book titled Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom, which takes aim at what Moore described as “scare stories” that cannot be justified on the basis of scientific observation and verification.”

LocalFluff: Your prediction of a double-peaked maximum might be right, but it is meaningless because you have no idea why it will happen, just as these solar scientists do not know why either.

I might have added that last part.

If only someone on Wall Street came up with the idea to turn this curve into a market for betting odds, I’d secure my pension within a cycle of 11 years.

By the way. as if for no reason concerning my level of Solar Physics skills, ehum. This YT-channel about science paper FRAUD might be of interest. Nature and Science and of course many lesser magazines, publishing nonsense agains and again. Here a cut in a vid that asks the questions:

And his YT-channel accounts for surprisingly many surprising science frauds (almost so many that I begin to suspect that he is fraudulent! ;-D ) How come the scientific community, even in physics, allow this to go on? Gallilei’s encrypted letters to Kepler were better reviewed 400 years ago.

Recent history suggest that being incorrect in their projections can no longer be tolerated, science must not be questioned!
(Very soon the data will be adjusted to match the projection… Just as it is in the global warming numbers.)
Any journalist whom questions our authority also questions the power behind that authority… They will never work again! Minions must be useful and obedient or they are canceled and replaced.
Under the orders of the department of the “The ivy league PhD priesthood of the all knowing”. Where our motto is, “we are never wrong!”

Meanwhile, there’s an active solar flare hitting the earth right now. Expect some beautiful northern pictures under mostly dark conditions.
