11.4
The major cycles of our star (the Sun)
 
  The Sun rotates on its own axis at a rate of around 23.6 days (1,490,000 km wide and around 610 hours) per rotation. Jupiter's Rotation is in the same proportion of size to rotation speed as the Sun (around 149,000km wide and rotation of around 10 hours). .  
11.4.1 Velocity of the Sun and our Solar System  
  The Sun and therefore the Solar System is traveling in relation to the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy at an average velocity of 230km to 260 km per second. Our solar system orbits the Milky Way around once every 200 to 210 million years.  
  That the Sun and the Solar System is moving in relation to nearby solar systems and the Milky Way, apart from the orbit of the planets is often "missed" in contemporary science.  
11.4.2 Periodic cycles of greater input to output of the Sun  
  As stated earlier, the Sun's periodic cycles of greater input to output correspond to 11.3 to 11.6 years which also happens to correspond to the precise time it takes Jupiter to orbit the Sun. The cycle completes itself over around every 23.5 Earth years.  
  At each turnaround in balance between input and output, there is a period of around 236 days where there is a significant skewing of effect, prior to the Sun reverting back from either greater input to output, or from greater output to input.  
  What this means is that, during periods of time, the Sun provides more particles than usual, or provides less particles than usual. This naturally affects our weather.  
  The variance between a 11.3 to 11.6 year period of less output than input compared to greater output than input is around 1/6th below norm for greater input years and 1/6th above norm for greater output years. As we shall explain in a moment, this is a direct result of the proximity of other star systems and has nothing to do with any internal changes of the Sun of it's own accord. If particles returning to the Sun are in greater numbers, or the Sun is closer to other Solar Systems, the output of the Sun naturally increases. The opposite is also true.  
11.4.3 Size of fields and where new inbound material is derived  
  Our Suns particle fields span a region of space around 1.5 light years in radius. It is from this range of space that our Sun derives raw material back to itself.  
  The raw material most important are basic particles such as hydrogen atoms capable of being "picked-up" by photons and carried back to our Sun.  
  The greater the amount of raw material in the 1.5 light year radius region, the higher the input to our Sun and therefore output.  
  This means that while the 23.5 year cycle exists, the variance in solar storms and solar flares (therefore in output of particles to the Earth) varies from cycle to cycle.  
11.4.4 Solar Storms (Sun Spots) and solar flares  
  Solar storms (known as sunspots) which can be several times larger than the entire Earth, appear to be darker than the rest of the Sun's surface only because their temperatures are about 4000 degrees C, are at least 1000 degrees lower than that of the surrounding surface, or photosphere. If a sunspot could be seen shining on its own, its brightness would be greater than that of a nearby arc-lamp.  
  Solar storms are a reflection of a greater amount of inbound particles back to the Sun than output , while solar flares are the reverse. Similar to Earth, solar storms are created when inbound particles react with outbound particles causing storms and a general lowering of output as the particles interact.  
  Solar storms, however do correspond to greater levels of magnetic and electrical particle field activity with the Earth that can and does affect our satellite and radiowave communication transmissions.  
11.4.5 The importance of solar storm activity levels and indication of proximity of neighboring solar systems  
  The Sun itself, appears to only vary the difference between input cycle and output cycle by around 1/4 to 1/3rd. Yet since the study of solar storms began (around late 18th Century (around 1770's), scientists have identified major periods of high particle volume output to the Earth compared to low particle volume to the Earth.  
  This signifies an independent cycle occurring to simply the 23.5 year cycle of the Sun's pattern of greater or lesser output.  
  As the fuel catchment area for our Sun is around 1.5 light year radius in all directions, then there is only one explanation when the Sun's fields pick up higher than average levels of particles back to the Sun- that our Solar System's proximity to its neighboring solar systems is closer than normal.  
11.4.6 The proximity of stars to other stars affects their field input/output levels of our Sun  
  What we mean is that the cycles of higher overall output or lower overall output is directly related to the position of our Solar System in respect to our neighbour stars. When we are further away, then our Sun produces less output on average than when we are close to other solar systems. On Earth this would correspond to periods of above average temperatures (closer to other stars) and below average temperatures (further away from neighbour stars), apart from the basic 2 x 11.7 year cycles of the Sun itself. This means by virtue of the output levels of our Sun, we know when our Solar System is closer to its neighbours than other times.  
11.4.7 The longer cycles of our Sun's output  
  Given the data provided in Sun Spot activity, it appears that several factors affect the volume of input and output of our Sun:  

There appears to be a constant cycle of five to seven 23.5 year cycles where input and output of Sun increases = closer proximity to neighboring Solar System Alpha Centauri;

 

There appears to be a disrupting factor with the smooth increase and decrease of input and output from our Sun occurring around every 86 years, when there is a sudden volume increase followed by decrease.

 

This must correspond to another Star (most likely Sirius) and is a pattern reacting independently to the pattern of Alpha Centauri on our Sun's input and output.

 

There appears to be around a 102 to 105 year cycle where Sun Spot activity = close to 0. The two periods recorded were around 1812 and around 1913/4. Interestingly, these two years correspond to severe European winters. This is most likely when our Sun is furthest from Sirius and Alpha Centauri.
