June 18, 2012 Wind socks, bow shocks, shockwaves and collisions
are often used to describe the phenomena that create high-
frequency electromagnetic radiation in the cosmos. From gamma
rays down through X-rays and extreme ultraviolet, conventional
theories have relied upon gravity and acceleration as the only
way for them to be produced in space. Compression of hydrogen
gas and dust is supposed to create enough transfer of momentum
that it reaches temperatures greater than the cores of some
stars. In other words, it is the high temperature of the gas
that makes it glow so brightly. The CHANDRA satellite has
detected streams of charged material pouring out of the Crab
Nebula, emitting X-rays as they go. It was long thought that
nebular clouds or the expanding gases of supernova explosions
could not be sources of those frequencies, since the bubbles
were supposed to be areas where gases were losing kinetic energy
and cooling off. However, several “mysterious” observations have
called into question the underlying
