Dear Bernard;
Thanks for your kind remarks. Regarding my Rooks piece; I wish I had been
able to read this 47 years ago when I wrote it - we could have gone straight
for the egg-beater rather than waste time looking for the egg - which made
me think -
*Which came first - the rook or the egg-beater?* 
*DID colossal spinning loops of energy whip up the magnetic fields that
thread through galaxies and may even stretch across intergalactic space? That’s
the idea being put forward to explain the universe’s mysterious magnetic
fields.
Cosmic ‘egg-beaters’ may have left magnetic legacy.

DID colossal spinning loops of energy whip up the magnetic fields that
thread through galaxies and may even stretch across intergalactic space? That’s
the idea being put forward to explain the universe’s mysterious magnetic
fields.
“Wherever we look, we find a magnetic field,” says Mark Wyman, a cosmologist
at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario,
Canada. “But nobody can explain where they came from.”
Galactic fields have a strength of about 10-10 tesla -
one-hundred-thousandth of Earth’s magnetic field - and cosmologists calculate that they could have
been amplified from even weaker “seed fields” in the early universe of only
about 10-34 tesla. “That’s small in strength, but the problem is that you
need something to create that field over a huge area, the size of a galaxy,”
says Wyman.
