>"The new concept would accelerate the particles using
magnetic reconnection
– a process found throughout the universe, including the surface of the Sun – in which
magnetic field lines converge, suddenly separate, and then join together again
,
generating lots of energy
. Reconnection also occurs inside doughnut-shaped tokamak fusion devices."
(Side note: I think that there's something here with respect to understanding Energy -- itself...
Also, I think the word "Energy" is etymologically interesting... because we see the same root: "En" -- in words like 'Entangle', 'Entropy' and 'Enharmonic'... is there a relationship there? Or is it mere coincidence?)
Future ToDo: Study Magnetic Reconnection in the context of understanding Energy...
