The sun. Smooth and round and peaceful. Except when it suddenly vomits radiation and plasma in random directions. These solar flares and coronal mass ejections, or CMEs can hit earth and have serious consequences for humanity.
How exactly do they work, how bad could they be and can we prepare for them?

There is this really cool game called “The Long Dark”, where you have to survive in the northern Canadian wilderness after a geomagnetic storm sapped your plane’s battery.

3:38 How does it travel in less than a day? A day happens when light reaches the earth and according to Einstein’s, there is nothing faster than light. So wouldn’t that solar flare be breaking the fundamental laws of science?

@lawrencesmeaton6930 Год назад

@@-petrichor-7263 I think you're confusing the speed of light with the earths rotation. A day has nothing to do with the speed of light, a day is simply how long it takes the earth to do a full rotation on it's own axis. The plasma travels 150 million kilometres in less than a day. So to show the units better, 150,000,000km/day is the speed of the plasma, the speed of light is 2,590,000,000,000km/day so no laws are being broken here. It takes aroung 8 minutes for light from the sun to reach the earth for reference - which has nothing to do with our definition of a 'day'.

Yet, I love how it always ends with a positive note, either its something that's not in our hands anymore or other human beings are well aware of these events, so that they can be prevented. In the end, the entire universe will one day go into eternal sleep, yet before that I hope we can get to a certain type of civilization and make more discoveries about our beautiful universe before we all part.

@@johnh5364 Not to mention the magnetosphere is continuing to weaken as the poles are getting ready to flip. It's already weakened 10% or more since the Carrington Event and some scientists are saying that as we approach the flip a CME could potentially unlock the Earth's crust causing significantly rapid continental drift and giant tsunamis. While what they are spraying above us, CaCO3 or better nano-particle aluminum oxide, will absorb electromagnetic energy, it's just buying us time. Mother nature is right on time with her 12,000 year cycle. While I don't think humanity will go extinct, I doubt there will be 8 billion people on the planet after this. Finally, if governments around the world knew there was a 90% chance that this would happen in the next two decades do you really think they would tell us? I hope to God none of us ever lives to witness a mass extinction event but sadly they have happened. Be safe. Peace.

In my opinion, venturing into a good investment is not just a strategy for generating passive income but a profitable saving method for future expenses. Those who fail to make the right decisions early in life end up regretting it.

@MAWasHere Год назад

There is like a %12 chance of a big solar flare happening in the next years. And astronomers think it is most likely to happen in 2025 summer. Scientist will have a day or two after they notice the exact time. The best preparation possible is to shut down the main electricity, if you don't want your devices fried shut down all the house electricity and use tin foil to protect devices with batteries like phones, tablets, laptops... if enough people get prepared and gov shuts down the main thing in time we will probably survive it with no worst scenario... Unlike those pessimistic idiots in comments believing no matter what we do we die, with these done we are not doomed...

What they mean by prepared is by continued monitoring, and more importantly to have the energy grid given the upgrades mentioned in the video.

Congress released a report 5 or so years ago on the effects of a EMP attack on the US, which would be similar to the super flare event. In that report they indicated they thought 90% of Americans would die. The video briefly bring up "food on store shelves", but it's much more serious than that. Our entire logistic planning, organization, and distribution is based on electronics. Food and supplies locally are only sufficient to sustain a population for a matter of days. The trucks that transport goods and services would not work. The computer systems that tracked what goods need to go where will not work.

@Elliandr 3 года назад

There was also an event that year that almost happened that would have caused a mega tsunami event. An asteroid broke apart and was slated to hit a fault line in the sea that was predicted to cause a certain volcanic island to erupt in turn causing a piece of its land mass to fall into the sea in turn causing a larger displacement wave in turn devastating much of the world's economy. Thankfully, the rotation of the earth is actually not fixed. Earthquakes can cause slight changes to the length of a day, extremely slight, but enough to throw off calculations like this such that the fault line wasn't impacted as predicted and the mega tsunami never happened. That being said, volcano is passed due for another eruption. The last time it erupted a Chasm formed oh, but the islands didn't fall into the sea. Next time it erupts it might fall into the sea. Or it might not. We don't really know exactly when that will happen. still, imagine if we got hit with a solar storm this year while all this other stuff is going on and then while people are dealing with a shut down power grid and are unable to receive Communications a mega tsunami wave hits destroying the entire east coast of the United States and the entire west coast of Europe. not saying that's likely, in fact it's extremely unlikely, but it would be a very bad day.

I will if that's what you want to hear. Just don't let the small things scare you like--"living life" with a purpose. We have had many extinction-level events before. People just don't want to talk about these things. Dying is easy--but it's living life with a purpose, a path, and a calling--that stomps most people. Most people go through life just merely bumping into one another and when too many people start bumping into one another, then people start to clash with one another.

Technically fusion is more close to a implosion that generates ridiculous amounts of energy. So much energy that a thermonuclear bomb, for example, heats the air of the impact area so much it violently expands and effectively explodes, but the bomb itself doesn't. Explosions are most common in chemical reactions, and although stars DO eject mass as well, that happens on the event of a Supernova, or, like the video shows, a Solar Wind (however, the brute of the mass ejected in Solar Winds don't reach us).
