    From the article:
    “Experiments show that when the reconnection rate spikes in this 3-D configuration, the high current ropes are ejected out of the reconnection region, leading to a sudden decrease in the current density. The researchers have termed this process a “current layer disruption.”

    Aren’t they simply renaming an exploding double-layer? o.O

    And what’s with this ‘magnetic reconnection’ bunk? You’re seriously not talking about reconnecting lines in a 3 dimensional vector field, are you? Like topographical lines on a map??
