Default oh, no! something new was discovered!

A 'space hurricane' hovered above the North Pole for about 8 hours, study says

hurricane" spinning above the North Pole, according to a new study.

Space hurricane spotted above the North pole
BBC, 3 May 2021
The space hurricane was spotted by scientists from China's Shandong
University, where they saw a swirling mass of plasma that behaved a lot like
the hurricanes here on Earth - except these space hurricanes rain electrons
instead of water!
The space hurricane was spotted across 1,000km, above the North Pole.
Similar to hurricanes found inside Earth's atmosphere, it turned in an anti-
clockwise direction and lasted for almost 8 hours.
Prof Mike Lockwood, a space scientist at the university of Reading said:
"Until now, it was uncertain that space plasma hurricanes even existed, so
to prove this with such a striking observation is incredible".

Mysterious New Warp Drive Patent Surfaces Online
The Debrief, 02 Mar 2021
After first publishing his groundbreaking 1994 warp drive concept in
the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity, Mexican Mathematician and
Physicist Miguel Alcubierre received significant positive and negative
feedback. Most applauded his solution, which did indeed appear to
create a working theory on how a warp drive might allow faster than
light travel without violating the laws of physics. In contrast, others
zeroed in on the incredible amount of energy needed to propel his
theoretical spacecraft.
