Pulsations. Cosmic dust, electrically charged atoms, moves through the electro-magnetic fields of the universe, said Benjamin Boss, director of the Dudley Observatory, Albany, discussing his theory of cosmic evolution. This dust condenses, forms giant stars. After a brilliant period, the stars lose mass through radiation, eventually return to atomic clouds which condense into more stars. As the sun travels through cosmic dust, its radiation varies. Earth's bombardment of electrons comes from the sun, travels along the lines of the earth's magnetic field. Striking in the magnetic polar regions, these electrons maintain the negative electric charge...
