So if I understand it correctly the magnetic dust from the sats is making some kind of magnetic shunt for the planet.

I think thats interesting. Or maybe its more of a shorted turn? I think the idea is that it makes a conductive plasma ring
johansen:
This is nonsense.

A layer of magnetic material thick enough to shunt the earths magnetic field would also be thick enough that we would not need one.
coppercone2:
I think its more like a shorted turn on a transformer (of conductive plasma filaments)

I believe its translucentish if I understand it correctly.

Have you noticed the article doesn't say or prove anything?  All there is "potential", even the PhD is not a PhD, but a "candidate" to Phd.  That article is propaganda.

Spacex satellites has to do with Elon Musk.  Elon Musk upset the establishment, therefore he must be associated with negative outcomes in everything he does.  The message is 'Elon bad'.  Starlink is really bad for the establishment, because Elon refused to censorship his satellites.  People were able to stay in touch with the world when the establishment wanted them muted.  Elon disobeyed, and now the masters are displeased.  Bad Elon!  Bad!
SiliconWizard:
Yeah that may sound like nonsense, that being said, I don't like much the idea of polluting the space around Earth with all this waste that we'll never be able to get rid of. (Or doing so would probably make sending satellites completely uneconomical.) And I personally don't care about who does it.
