During a solar flare, magnetic field lines on the sun are often visible due to the flow of plasma—charged particles—along the lines. According to theory, these magnetic lines should remain intact, but they are sometimes observed breaking and reconnecting with other lines. An interdisciplinary team of researchers suggests that turbulence may be the missing link. In their magnetohydrodynamicsimulation, they found that the presence of chaotic turbulent motions made the magnetic line motion entirely unpredictable, whereas laminar flows behaved according to conventional flux-freezing theory.

“I came here to tell you that I know what it feels like to be afraid to show who you are… I was, but I’m not anymore. And the thing is, is that I don’t really care what people think about me, because I believe in myself and I know things are going to be okay. But even though I have no family, and no job, and no money for college, it’s you that I feel sorry for. I know that guy that sent those email is somewhere down inside of you, but I can’t wait for him… because waiting for you is like waiting for rain in this drought. Useless and disappointing.”
