This clip is the short version of Professor Henriks Svensmark’s theory of cosmoclimatology. The clip consists of extracts from the documentary film, The Cloud Mystery. You can find more information about the film and order a Dvd copy of the film here. You can learn more about Professor Henrik Svensmark here.

Prof. Nir Shaviv is a member of the Racah Insitute of Physics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
His research interests cover a wide range of topics in astrophysics. Most are related to the application of fluid dynamics, radiation transfer or high energy physics to a wide range of objects – from stars and compact objects to galaxies and the early universe.
His studies on the possible relationships between cosmic ray intensity and the Earth’s climate, and the Milky Way’s Spiral Arms and Ice Age Epochs on Earth were widely echoed in the scientific literature. They are also described at length in the documentary The Cloud Mystery.

Professor Henrik Svensmark is the head of the Centre for Sun-Climate Research, at DTU Space, Technical University of Denmark.

Since 1997, Svensmark spearheaded the idea that solar activity variations affect climate on Earth, through solar activity modulating of the cosmic rays reaching the Earth and the effect that these particles have on cloud cover. This idea received a significant boost with the SKY experiment that he headed, which showed under laboratory conditions how the ionization caused by cosmic rays gives rise to the formation of condensation nuclei, a necessary step in the formation of clouds.

This idea is the main theme covered in the documentary The Cloud Mystery (this link includes more information about Svensmarks theory about Cosmoclimatology as well as links to other scientists involved in the research findings. The Cloud Mystery Dvd can be ordered online as well)
