What makes lightning?
if an electron hits an atom, its impact force will make the atom ring like a bell.
if the atom rings 4 to 8 x 10^14 time per second, you see light.
when a positive lighting cloud meets a negative lighting cloud, if 1 is hot enough, the other 1 will jumps over with energy burst following a long tail of lighting. the tails of the lighting spread out like a tree branch.
it all depends on the condition. wind speed, temperature of the cloud etc.
the leader maybe is photoshoped.
did tesla showed you the mechanism of lightning?
Thank you for the replies although there seems to be a difference of opinion.I have no idea what you are talking about.Can you just say in normal language what happens inside the cloud at point zero where the lightning starts from?

The rest of us agree, but you might get different ways of saying things.Normal language? I assume you have not read the links I gave you. In theory you should read all of volume 1 before going here http://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/II_09.htmlBut if you look at section 9.3 it gives a good idea of what is happening.Try to understand reality before you invent your own - that goes for you too jccc []Come back if you have any questions, but remember this part of the forum is for normal physics, not new theories.
Can you just say in normal language what happens inside the cloud at point zero where the lightning starts from?example language use - the lightning positive energy centripetal gathers and is contained by the negative energy around it until the positive energy repels itself and breaks confinement in a burst.something explained that sort of way please.
Both streams the leader and tail both emit light, are they both not a positive?
what is energy level? are you sure there is such thing? do you have the mechanism?
