The mystery of the Earth's magnetic field has been elucidated

The Earth's magnetic field can be generated by strong movements of underground liquid conductors . that is a new discovery by French scientists, published in the March 12 issue of Le Figaro. .

By creating a strong motion of liquid sodium in vitro, a group of researchers from the French Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), Center for Scientific Research on Earth and Environment (CEA) and pedagogical universities in Paris and Lyon have created the Earth's magnetic field in the laboratory.

The researchers found that the magnetic field produced bears many characteristics similar to the Earth's natural magnetic field.

Most astronomical materials in the universe like planets, stars and galaxies have magnetic fields. These magnetic fields play an important role in the development of matter in space.

The Earth's magnetic field is also important to life on the planet. It protects us, helping us to avoid the harmful effects of cosmic rays and the solar wind. Without magnetic fields, we will constantly be attacked by toxic materials and life cannot be sustained on Earth. Understanding the structure that gives rise to Earth's magnetic field, planets and stars are targets that many scientists around the world pursue.

Since 1919, Joseph Larmor, an English physicist, has hypothesized that the Sun's magnetic field is produced by the motion of electrically conducting liquids. Now, this hypothesis has been confirmed by postpartum scientists.
