It seems very clear that Dr. Kristian Birkeland was at least 100 years ahead of his time. He not only experimented with and put forth the correct model of the sun, he also defined astronomy on a macro level that we are only now beginning to understand. When you see these coiled fields around these "circuits" in space, it's really hard not to recognize the electric nature of our universe. In fact it takes quite a bit of effort to do so.
