The Solar Wind Theory of Eugene Parker

The Solar Wind Theory of Eugene Parker http://www.princeton.edu/~lam/ME451C/SolarWind.pdf Parker's theory on solar winds met with anger and rejection in 1958. It wasn't until Neugebauer placed magnetic detectors upon spacecraft did we see that Parker was correct in idea. We now have enough tools in space to get an idea of the complexities involved in solar winds.

We don't know all the variables involved in a magnetic field, especially large complex magnetic fields.
