...an even greater surprise, the researchers found that the motion of the magnetic fieldfield lines becomes completely random - not just chaotic, but; "as unpredictable as quantum mechanics. Rather than flowing in an orderly, deterministic fashion, the magnetic fieldfield lines instead spread out like a roiling plume of smoke" Eyink describes. The research could lead to a better understanding of solar flares and mass ejections of material from the sun's corona...
