Ball Lightning as a Messenger from a New World of Circulating Light

By: Vladimir Torchigin, A. V. Torchigin

From £32.99

This book shows ball lightning is not electricity, but a bubble of light—a new object whose anomalous behaviour matches the mystery of natural ball lightning. The physical laws ensuring its stability are detailed, based on over 30 published scientific articles.

This book shows that ball lightning has nothing to do with electricity at all; it is a bubble where ordinary white light circulates in the bubble’s shell in all possible directions. Such a bubble of light is a completely new, previously unknown object, consisting mainly of light, which determines its anomalous behaviour. Such anomalous behaviour coincides in detail with the mysterious and paradoxical behaviour of natural ball lightning. This book argues that natural ball lightning is an experimental sample which confirms this theory. In the book, the necessary conditions for the stability of the bubble of light and the physical laws that ensure its stability are given, making it possible to determine its unique physical parameters.

The book is based on over 30 scientific articles published in leading international journals since 2003.

Professor V. P. Torchigin, DSc, PhD, is Chief Researcher in the Institute of Informatics Problems at the Federal Research Center “Computer Science and Control” of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He has published more than three dozen articles on the topic of ball lightning in various leading international optics and physics journals, as well as around 200 other scientific publications.

A V. Torchigin, PhD, graduated from the Moscow Institute of Radio Engineering, Electronics and Automation. His work focuses on developing new systems allowing the immersion of large audiences in virtual reality without the requirement for special glasses for the viewer. He is the author of over two dozen scientific publications.
