Future Work
Clearly this proto-theory is crying out for some modelling.
Anomalous cosmic rays, coming from the heliopause shock, are also thought to be “shock accelerated”. If the GCR theory is correct, it should also apply to ACR. There is a great deal more data on ACR, which should make it a critical test case for the validity of the model.
The Earth’s cusp is far more dynamic than either the heliosphere or galactosphere. Data from Earth satellites is most extensive. Work is needed to make a dynamic & predictive model of ORBE.
