🇺🇸NASA DISCOVERS EARTH'S INVISIBLE ELECTRIC FIELD
Since Isaac Newton's apple in 1666, scientists have understood Earth's gravitational pull and magnetic field.
Now, NASA has discovered a third fundamental force: an almost invisible electric field surrounding the planet.
This "ambipolar electric field" may explain mysterious supersonic winds of particles emerging from Earth's poles and could even offer insights into why life developed uniquely on Earth.
Despite knowing about these polar winds since the 1960s, their cause remained unclear—until now.
