"Magnetic reconnection is pseudoscience" Hannes Alfvenoutdated quote that is falsified by experimental evidence, like: The PPPL Magnetic Reconnection Experiment (MRX) which was built to study a fundamental plasma process in a controlled laboratory environment
Researchers have run this and similar experiments — called "shots" — more than 100,000 times since 1995 and amassed volumes of data and numerous scientific papershttp://www.pppl.g...HEET.pdf
And yet, not a single reference to said currentsso it doesn't mention your chosen holy word (and you don't understand it)
The magnetic topology is a result of the electric currents which creates the magnetic fields. And yet, not a single reference to said currents.Actually they 'hid' references to same in terminology such as:
"filaments"and
"downflows of cool plasma"and
"Magnetic Flux Rope (MFR)-like structure"...all of 'features' which involve currents of plasma/ions/electrons which twist themselves much as the plasma/electron currents similarly observable as in-spiraling, self-reinforcing and self-compressing 'flows' which converge and twist into explosive/unstable PLASMOIDS involving the twisted magnetic fields components which the currents created in the first instance.
"Magnetic reconnection is pseudoscience" Hannes Alfven
As is much of the description above. The magnetic topology is a result of the electric currents which creates the magnetic fields. And yet, not a single reference to said currents.
In fact, the most interesting plasma physics occurs precisely where and because this equation is not satisfied, such as the auroral acceleration region, ***magnetic field reconnection***, turbulence, shocks, and many wave modes.

So it would seem as if Falthammar is in full agreement with Alfven1- it would seem like this only to someone attempting to ignore the elephant in the room because there is a hair on his chair
