Much of the bible is based on solar mythology, symbolism that reflects the movements of the sun. Earth's magnetosphere and the Sun's magnetic field are constantly pressed against one another on the dayside of Earth. Approximately every eight minutes, these fields briefly merge, forming a temporary "portal" between the Earth and the Sun through which high-energy particles such as solar wind can flow. The portal takes the shape of a magnetic cylinder about the width of Earth.
Until a few years ago scientists believed that all forces could be categorized into five classes:
Gravitational force - the force of attraction between any two objects with mass.
Electric force - a force of attraction or repulsion between charged objects.
Magnetic force - a force of attraction or repulsion between ferro magnetic objects.
Strong force - the force holding protons and neutrons together in the nucleus.
Weak force - the force which causes radioactive decay.
In recent years it has been shown that the magnetic, strong, and weak forces are all variations of the electric force now called the electro-weak force. Many scientists believe that the gravitational force may also have an electromagnetic base, but no proof exists as of now.
