    The Americas are already planning on fucking up their internet. They dont need solar flares for that.

    Well I am sorry & NASA will have a better understanding than me.

    I am interested in Mayan Calender predictions. As they where, along with the Chinese & Egyptians, Earth's first Astronomers.

    Anyways, Im sitting back , having a Beer & listning to some Alice.





    Can Our Sun Produce a Killer Flare?


    The short answer to this is “no”.

    The longer answer is a little more involved. Whilst a solar flare from out Sun, aimed directly at us, could cause secondary problems such as satellite damage and injury to unprotected astronauts and blackouts, the flare itself is not powerful enough to destroy Earth, certainly not in 2012. I dare say, in the far future when the Sun begins to run out of fuel and swell into a red giant, it might be a bad era for life on Earth, but we have a few billion years to wait for that to happen.

    There could even be the possibility of several X-class flares being launched and by pure bad luck we may get hit by a series of CMEs and X-ray bursts, but none will be powerful to overcome our magnetosphere, ionosphere and thick atmosphere below

    Yeah. I've already done quite a bit in my 28 years, time to just focus on my family and make sure my daughter is taken care of.

    I mean thanks to the Army, I've sky dived, fast roped down from helicopters, mountain climbed, "camped" in the woods for weeks on end, been to Iraq AND Afghanistan, been piss drunk. Before the Army, I surfed, roller bladed, skate boarded, went to concerts. I guess I should get out there and live. I haven't experienced anything...

    Solar flares affects communication, not electricity specifically. Some areas of the planet will have some unstable internet and telephone communication, but that's about it.
    "Super" solar flares are not indicative of a sun going supernova. They happen all the time, not as often as normal solar flares, but they happen. In worst case scenario a highly powered solar flare hitting the Earth could incinerate the atmosphere and destroy all living organisms due to the amount of radiation, but we won't face anything that strong. And no, our sun will not become a black hole, it simply doesn't have the mass required. The latest calculations show that, the required mass of a star to become a black hole is 4 times our own solar mass, minimum.
    However, there has been some talk about the next polar shift happening within the next 100 years or so. It will cause massive floods and earthquakes, but it's purely hypothetical.

    If any "Doomsday Event" were to occur it wouldn't be because of an astronomical phenomenon, magnetic pole shift or a hand of God. It will simply be our own carelessness resulting in a nuclear war. We'll just end up killing ourselves.
    At any rate, if it were to occur, I'd be sitting on my porch listening to music, sipping some scotch and just let it happen. Nothing much we can do about it.

    Basically this.... If however for some strange reason the world does end.... I'll be upset, scared etc. I would have never told my best friend that I've loved her since childhood, I've have never done certain things (learn the piano, become a chef etc.) and most likely it would happen without warning, meaning I'd have no preparations for these things, such as if it were announced (think evil mastermind announcing the end of the world in an anime etc.) you'd have time to do things important to you like tell those you love that you love them and all that business, sudden destruction? Nope... Just everything gone in an instant.

    I need to stop thinking so much....

    To my knowing , those "super" solar flares only occur when a sun ( star? ) dies , and that happens QUITE often. However , if eg the sun would explode , it'll make a black hole and inventually explode , and then everything will be kind of gone here.
    Our sun is far too small to explode into a black hole. What will happen when our sun dies, however, is expand rapidly as it burns up its remaining nuclear fuel, and go into its 'Red Giant' phase. The sun will expand and eat up Mercury and Venus. It will come close, but will not consume us ( We will all be dead from the massives ammount of heat anyways.)

    The sun will soon collapse in on itself and become a 'White Dwarf'. Where it will stay dimly lighting up our dead solar system for hundreds of thousands of years. Then it will just flicker out

    How would I celebrate the end of the world in 2012? well, first I'll open my 234 year old blood I've been keeping since I was made a vampire. Then I'll invite Frankenstein, count Dracula, the Mummy, the Grim Reaper, Dr. Jeckyll/Mr. Hide, the Werewolf, the Minotaur, the three ghosts of Christmas, the Chupacabra, Yeti, Big Foot, the Slenderman, some zombies, an evil dragon, a giant spider, a chimera, Seth(the god of death, although Seth my neighbour across the street could go as well), the frost giants and a few others. If everyone shows up we'll have a feast and celebrate, if not I'm afraid we'll have to cancel the end of the world this year as well. Sorry guys.

    XD

    It's like people expected the Mayans to keep their calender going forever. Think about how long ago this was. They probably got to 2012 and said "Look, if we ever make it that far, I'll make a new damn calender."

    Sure they were original astronomers. Probably knew alot too. Maybe in 2012 their feathered snake god is going to hatch from the sun and eat us all. Maybe that's it!

    Anyways.

    I'm not concerned. At all.

    Laugh, thats what.

    It will be funny, cus I am only 17 and I have already lived through about 6 end of the worlds. Kinda makes me feel fucking immortal.

    So I will walk around and laugh at all the people who said the world was going to end.

    Fuck me. If the world does end; thats how I want it to go down!
    Cho’Gall: Cairne Bloodhoof is dead? Did we kill him?
    Deathwing: No. The Grimtotems weakened him with poison, and then Garrosh accidentally hacked him to death with an axe during a heated political discussion.
    Cho’Gall: How do you accidentally kill someone with an axe?
