Hold on a minute, it might trip your circuit breakers. Then you'll need to head down to the shop and buy a few more fuses. Shit is about to get real.Ekonk said:This happens often, right. We are constantly hit by solar storms, and sometimes, when there's a solar wave, your GPS signal doesn't work, etc. If this gigantic uberstorm is actually as big as they claim then it means that there will be some sattelite interference and perhaps some problems with airline companies, nothing more.
Although I may have lost a bet if this happens.
No predictions say that the world will end only that it will change as we know it which many took to the extreme and said the world would end. it could also be something incredibly good like an efficient cure for cancer. however it could also be the total loss of all electronics like this artical statesDemonicVixen said:http://www.news.com.au/technology/sci-tech/sun-storm-to-hit-with-force-of-100-bombs/story-fn5fsgyc-1225909999465
So, think 2012 really is going to be the end? Or is this really what everyone has been crying over?
Strike 1 correction.... if you read the article rather then reading just my comment underneath "The reason for the concern comes as the sun enters a phase known as Solar Cycle 24." Baring in mind that techincally its still only starting this new phase (before you say "oh but its already started")Dana22 said:Strike 1, we are already in Solar Cycle number 24, since it began in 2008.DemonicVixen said:All this because the sun will be entering its phase known as Solar Cycle 24
Strike 2, you forgot that Earth is surrounded by magnetic field.
Strike 3, If you havent heard it directly from NASA representatives, dont believe it.
You're out !
Yes we do... but not like THIS http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2006/10mar_stormwarning/The Stonker said:DemonicVixen said:http://www.news.com.au/technology/sci-tech/sun-storm-to-hit-with-force-of-100-bombs/story-fn5fsgyc-1225909999465
Read it for yourself. Facts point to a global break down of ALL electronics due to the sun having a repeat Solar Storm but this time, WORSE.

Then again, without technology, do we really know how to survive?
You're a moron, we're hit by solar storms every single day.
If I remember right then the magnetic thingamajick saves us and do you know how far the sun is from our planet?
Silly bugger.
