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

Book excerpt: 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.
