How is lightning generated?

It is generally believed that lightning is formed by the action of electric field in the atmosphere. However, Joseph Dwyer, an astrophysicist from Florida Institute of Technology, said that the theory that the electric field in the atmosphere produces lightning is wrong, and it is impossible for the electric field in the atmosphere to reach the intensity of the electric field that produces lightning. Dwyer studies energetic particles. He came to the Florida Research Center two years ago. At the Florida Research Center, there are many researchers engaged in lightning research. When dwyer learned from academic reports that gamma rays and X-rays are closely related to the formation of lightning, he became interested in it and devoted himself to the research in this field. Many scientists believe that when a strong electric field is formed in the atmosphere, lightning will be produced. Although no one really saw such an electric field, these scientists are still convinced that this is the correct explanation for the formation of lightning. When dwyer established a high-energy radiation model to describe the formation of electric field in the earth's atmosphere, he was shocked by the experimental results of the model. He found that the energy released by gamma rays and X rays in the electric field can provide enough electric field strength for the electric field, thus generating lightning. In thunderstorm weather, updraft and downdraft push water molecules to interact, releasing electrons to enhance the electric field strength, and these electrons eventually spread in the air at a speed close to the speed of light. According to dwyer's theory of lightning formation, these high-speed electrons collide with other particles in the atmosphere under the action of energy released by gamma rays or X rays in the electric field, producing powerful thunder and releasing charges.
