This book shows that ball lightning has nothing to do with electricity at all; it is a bubble where ordinary white light circulates in the bubble’s shell in all possible directions. Such a bubble of light is a completely new, previously unknown object, consisting mainly of light, which determines its anomalous behaviour. Such anomalous behaviour coincides in detail with the mysterious and paradoxical behaviour of natural ball lightning. This book argues that natural ball lightning is an experimental sample which confirms this theory. In the book, the necessary conditions for the stability of the bubble of light and the physical laws that ensure its stability are given, making it possible to determine its unique physical parameters. The book is based on over 30 scientific articles published in leading international journals since 2003.

The book describes a completely new world, the existence of which no one had even suspected before. Therefore, this world could not be studied either theoretically or experimentally. The study of the nature of ball lightning made it possible to discover this world. Pyotr Kapitsa, a Russian scientist, Nobel Prize winner, studying the phenomenon of ball lightning, was forced to admit at the end of his life that this bright nut was too strong for his teeth. At the same time, he suggested that ball lightning is a phenomenon from another world unknown to him. Indeed, he was partly right. He was wrong that ball lightning was related to plasma, but he was right that ball lightning belonged to another world unknown to him. The book describes the features of this world and the properties of its inhabitants. The most known among them is ball lightning. This world we called the world of circulating light. This book is not science fiction. The book is based on over eight dozen articles published since 2003 in leading international physics and optics journals. Although scientists have not been able to unravel the nature of ball lightning for many centuries, it turned out that the explanation is so simple that it is accessible to schoolchildren. Such an explanation can be given without a single formula, recalling only the well-known physical laws from the school curriculum.

Ball Lightning is trying to tell people over many centuries not only that their knowledge is limited but also to prompt them that there is a perfectly new world governed by the same physical laws where light bubbles are responsible for many phenomena which are called at present abnormal. Ball Lightning is a combination of intense light and a film of air compressed by the light. The compressed air provides circulation of the light in the film. The circulating light, in its turn, provides air compression. It can be said that Ball Lightning is a self-confined light, circulating in a thin spherical layer of compressed air, which is produced be the same light. In other words, the light circulates in a spherical trap, which was set up by the same light. Such puzzles of behaviour of Ball Lightning as penetration through windowpanes, movement in a direction which does not coincide with the direction of the wind, accompanying of airplanes and penetration in their salons, radiation of "cold" white light can be explained only on the basis of the considered concept. The presented theory of light bubbles disproves arguments of opponents that the existence of light bubbles contradicts laws of physics. Methods and the means used in non-linear optics and theory of optical resonators on the basis of waves of type whispering gallery are applied for the description of the phenomena inside a nucleus and internuclear interactions. Consideration of a nucleus as an analogue of a Ball Lightning with finite life time enabled to propose a new approach to an explanation of the phenomenon of natural radioactive decay. Knowledge of physical conditions in Ball Lightnings and the assumption that these conditions are favourable for acceleration of radioactive decay give a lot of information about processes responsible for such decay. Acceleration of radioactive decay opens a way to development of new alternative sources of energy.

We present a set of new physical phenomena that we have managed to disclose without leaving a computer. We took into account the thought of the Russian Nobel prize winner Peter Kapitsa that Ball Lighting is a small window in the great world of new physical phenomena. Having observed through suppositive window in a form of Ball Lightning, we clap eyes on a lot of unknown physical phenomena that exist independently on the Ball Lightning. The most significant among them is an existence of the self-confined light in the conventional air atmosphere. We can not forecast when this phenomenon will become generally recognized. At least, the progress over ten years since time when this phenomenon was put forward shows that the scientific community is not ready to the recognition. This fact can be explained easily. A common sense protests against the thought that the conventional white light can confine itself in the conventional air atmosphere. All these objects are familiar very well to everyone and his experience tells that the light travels in straight lines. Before us, nobody even hinted the existence of the self-confined light Similar situation took place with the Copernicus theory. Everyone could see that the Sun moves around the Earth rather than vice versa. About century was required to recognize that Copernicus was right. We hope that smaller time will be required to recognize an existence of the self-confined light.

In 1837 a comprehensive discussion of lightning appeared in the Annual of the French Bureau des Longitudes with a section on ball lightning which provided for the first time a readily available source in the scientific literature of the basic properties of this curious natural phenomenon. The author, Francois Arago, was the dominant influence in the French Academy of Sciences in the nineteenth century, having become a member of that august body at the age of twenty-three. His attention alone doubtless served at that time to establish the validity of scientific interest in the problem. In addition his discussion covered some of the major questions associated with ball lightning in a nota bly clear-sighted, effective style. Later reconsideration of the same questions often provided no significant improvement over Arago's discussion. There followed a dauntless band of varying but always small number who attempted to account for an apparently simple natural occurrence, a ball of fire usually seen in thunderstorms, with the best knowledge that advancing science could provide. All attempts to deal with this phenomenon were in variably frustrated. The characteristics of ball lightning could be readily cataloged, but they firmly resisted both experimental reproduction and theo retical explanation. One may say that to this day there is no explanation accepted by a large number of scientists. Several investigators of great ability and considerable accomplishment in different fields of science, including Faraday, Kelvin, and Arrhenius, took note of the problem.

Ball lightning is an enigma. These luminous objects that appear occasionally during thunderstorms and can reach several meters in diameter have been a mystery to science for about 200 years. Despite several thousands of reported observations, their nature is still unknown. In this book, well documented cases of ball lightning are described and used to unravel some aspects of this mysterious form of atmospheric electricity. Throughout the book, the author discusses the various facets of the problem in an accessible but rigorous style, delivering a readable and informative text that will captivate the curious reader. He finally reaches the surprising conclusion that the solution to this puzzle may have been hidden in plain sight for many years. A foreword by Earle Williams, leading lightning researcher at MIT, introduces the book.

A survey of two century attempts to produce Ball Lightning in a laboratory with respect to understanding that Ball Lightning nature is optical one is presented. The Ball Lightning can be imagined as the soap bubble where the soap film is replaced by the film of strongly compressed air. The conventional white light is circulating in the film in all possible directions. The film shows itself as a planar wave guide the curvature of which is different from zero. The wave guide prevents the radiation of the light in free space. In turn, the light compresses the air due to the electrostriction pressure. This combination is closer to the light rather than to the lightning. We cut the tail in the world lightning and will call this combination by Ball Light. The energy of the light is essentially greater than that of the compressed air. In this case the behavior of the Ball Light is determined by the forces connected with the light rather than by the conventional forces connected with material particles. Said forces were considered in numerous hypotheses but all attempts to explain the mysterious behavior of the Ball Lightning failed. On the contrary, we have succeeded to explain all features of the Ball Lightning behavior on assumption that the forces between the light and matter play a decisive role. Our theory is mentioned in Wikipedia. All intriguing puzzles of the Ball Lightning behavior are explained in a natural way. We show in the book that puzzling anomalous ball-shaped formations obtained in 19 and begin of 20 centuries can be considered as the Ball Lights with small lifetime because they disappear immediately after ceasing a gas discharge. Objects with the lifetime of several seconds have been obtained in the second half of 20 century. Bearing in mind properties of the Ball Lights, anomalous properties of such objects are explained. An explanation is presented why an erosive gas discharge is favorable for production of the objects. A survey of up-to-date attempts of production of similar objects with the lifetime about 10 s is presented. Schemes of setups for production laboratory ball lightning with the great lifetime and stored energy comparable to natural ones are considered. We have shown that labaratory anomalous objects are not naturak Ball Lightning observed and described by eyewitnesses. But the anomalies of the natural Ball Lightnings and autonomous objects are explained by the same physical phenomenon connected with the circulation of the intensive light along side surface. Thus, a behaviour and properties of the considered autonomous objects confirms out optical theory of natural Ball Lightnings.

Down comes a deluge of sonorous hail, Or prone-descending rain. Wide-rent, the clouds Pour a whole flood, and yet, its flame unquenched, Th’unconquerable lightning struggles through. Ragged and fierce, or in red whirling balls, And fires the mountains with redoubled rage. Black from the stroke, above, the smould’ring pine Stands a sad shattered trunk; and, stretched below, A lifeless group the blasted cattle lie. James Thompson, “The Seasons” (1727) have been investigating ball lightning for more than two decades. I published a ball lightning report in Nature in 1976 that received worldwide publicity and I consequently many people wrote to me with accounts of their own experiences. Within a very short time, I had accumulated about 200 firsthand accounts, and the file has continued to grow steadily since then. Several things impressed me. Few of those who wrote to me had any detailed foreknowledge of ball lightning at the time of their observation. Nonetheless, once reports of other phenomena such as St. Elmo’s fire had been eliminated, the remaining descriptions were remarkably consistent. Furthermore, nearly all who contacted me were keen to have an explanation of what they had seen and seemed entirely sincere.

We have concluded on the basis of the experimental studies that the physical condition within Ball Lighting are favorable for increasing the speed of the radioactive decay. In accordance with our theory, Ball lightning can be considered as a light bubble of Ball Light that consists of the thin spherical film of strongly compressed air where the intensive white light in a form of whispering gallery (WG) waves is circulating in all possible directions. In the same time, we consider a nucleus as an analog of the Ball Light in micro world where the nucleus is presented by the wave function of WG type. In fact, the nucleus is an oscillator with a finite life time because of inevitable radiation losses for any WG wave. Conditions that provide a decrease of the life time of nuclei in a form of WG oscillators are analyzed. It is shown that an interaction between adjacent nuclei should takes place. The interaction is minimal at a steady state. Nonequilibrium state can be achieved if molecules of gas are compressed instantly to such degree that their location relative to each other is stored for a long time. This condition this condition is satisfied at arising Ball Light. The increase of the speed of the radioactive decay enables to obtain the energy from nuclear waste because the radioactive decay is accompanied by the release of the energy. Besides, transmutation of elements is possible.
