Visit science.nasa.go... for more! Something big is happening on the sun. The sun's global magnetic field is about to flip, a sign that Solar Max has arrived.
How come I haven't heard of this before? I mean this sounds pretty important. Also does this happen to all stars? and does it happen to planets such as our own? Imagine if every 10000 years on earth we had to change where the signs are on our compasses haha
Now, this here's a story all about how my sun got flipped/turned upside down, and I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there, and listen to physicist Phil Scherrer.
VERY CONFUSED-she sometimes says the field reverses at maximum, and sometimes that it occurs at the minimum (producing pairs of whole cycles in alternate polarity)...
i am curious what would be the scenario for a similar magnetic reversal on planet earth? although far less frequently these cycles seem to take place fairly regularly also
It surely reminds me of the movie "Knowing". In the end, cages father said: "It is not the end son" and cage said "I know". When this happens it surely won't be the end, I agree.
Every time I watch one of these episodes, I learn something strange and fascinating that I never knew about our universe. Without a doubt, this is one of the best channels on RU-vid.
Scientists predicted that this year sun activity will be increased greatly. Michio Kaku said that people better be ready by improving their power boxes and electricity controlling stations. Quite a few of those boxes will blow up this year. And a lot of people will lose electricity until things are repaired from that EM blast from sun.
If you don't know this solar cycle is lackluster so far, last cycle featured 4 flares above X10 (2 of them created days worth news in main stream media... as thye happened in one day), but record of this cycle is X6.9 which happened in 2011 and only top 6 flares so far crossed X2. Number of sunspots is more then a half smaller then last cycle. Some people believe we might approaching another Maunder Minimum which been observed in 17 and 18 cencury
We have a lot of people with less than a 6th grade scientific literacy, and when one understands science the whole world opens up like a lotus flower blooming. I have no idea what the world must seem like to them but I can imagine it must be scary and many escape through drugs. The people who generate fake controversy are mostly religious, they also have a dark age view of the world and live in perpetual doomsday fear.
No, the trajectory of the comet ISON will not be affected by this. Magnetic fields have only an effect on charged particles and comets are made out of neutral particles. So the comet's trajectory won't be changed. Maybe the size and/or brightness of the comet's tail might be slightly affected by a change in solar wind intensity/velocity, although I don't really know that.
that's an excellent question, in my book the old cycle # 24 finished on the 17th may 2013, cycle #25 starts on the 28th july 2014 with a reverse polarity, the sun is now at solar minimum and the planets around the solar system should show signs of cooling, keep your eye on the north west passage, it's earth's canary in the coal mine for climate.
where my formula (c / 2 * π) ³ used as the main base for getting potential values produced a square of speed C for the determination of the same potential for a single point (coulomb ).
My understanding is Yes they will flip. North will become South and South will be North. It happens on a regular basis. I am not positive but I think it is something like every 3 - 400,000 years or so. Please correct me if I'm way off the mark.
1.044291492 10+26 Volts is Sun electrostatic potential.And out of these constants can be calculated precisely radius of electrons: re = 2.820947793 10-15 m area = 9.999999116 m² D = 5.641895587 10-15 m O = 1.772453773 10-14 m fres. = 1.691397895 Hz Which means that the Coulomb constant look like this: re/8.979355709 * 10 +9 = π 10-10 1e = 0.01044291492 / (8.987551787 * 10-16) = 1.161930885 10-19
I'd be interested to know what this does for our weather systems here on Earth. Also, I see a couple comments claiming that you are not stupid, when the preceding text indicates otherwise. This isn't "propaganda." This is interesting, factual science.
Theoretical models by Matrix/DNA Theory suggests a different explanation for this flip. This magnetic pole shift happen in the Sun by the same mechanism discovered by physicist and Nobel Prize winner Hideki Ywkawa which produces proton changes into a neutron and vice versa, in the atomic nucleus. Each magnetic field has a conical shape and the two are coupled in the region of the solar core. The reversal of the poles is an evolutionary process from the atomic nuclear reversal between protons and
I think the interesting thing here is that his eyebrows are so bushy yet he stares at the sun as an occupation without getting them burned haha now that's science
Yes, Phil. You're spot on friend. Wallace Thornhill and Don Scott have more comprehension of how the solar system and the Cosmos work than any two fellas on the planet. They would of course have chuckled, as I'm sure you did, at the newbie errors in logic that riddle this and other NASA science-as-newscast videos. But at least they are able to bring themselves now to use that verbotten "E" word : ELECTRICITY, even if they do have the entire thing backwards. This is clear progress
Sorry... I just realized that I improperly worded my previous reply. Increased solar activity (and resulting auroras) are NOT likely caused by the magnetic field reversal. The reversal simply signals the peak of activity which is during a time of maximum solar activity.
You don't get it :p what they observed since 1976 fit to solar cycle which been observed based on sunspot activity half of 18 century and even earlier but back then there was Maunder Minimum that disturbed solar cycles processes on sun. If it fits to solar cycles and those solar cycles been repeated for so many times it easy to assume it happens with each solar cycle.Not to mention sunspot/active region polarization also is flipped every cycle but on minimum not maximum,been observed earlier too
Did anyone else notice the gradual decay in the maximum absolute amplitude of the polar field in that Solar Polar Field Strength vs time plot? The first negative maxima is higher than the second positive maxima which is higher than the second negative maxima. What's up with that?
I accept i should have used their instead of there, but when i said idiots i was referring to the people who said stuff like:" NASA is lying" or "its more serious the government is just covering it up" and so on, I apologize for my incorrect grammar.
3 years for some types of solar radiation to get to us. What are the effects? I know solar flares matter, but this report talks about the Sun but not much about the applications of the information.
It fits to solar cycles which was observed 23 times (+1 we currently in), polar flip might even cause of cycle as main reason of sunspot showing up is magnetic fields going crazy.
I must say Pacior, I noticed the eye brows however it did not detract from the information contained within. I would like to know how often these polar shifts occur?
I had no idea that the Voyager probes were that far out! I find space interesting in short bouts but it is hard to know where to start! From, -'tarotworldtour'
magnetic flip obviously means, that electrons within the suns magnetosphere will change their direction, Same as on the earth, the Northern Pole is currently the + or "gravity" pole attrackting solar electrons (measurable esp. after SEP events, The Southern pole contains more energetic electrons (-) attrackting solar protons. My theory: The Sun`s Center of gravity is NOT located right in its middle. and shifts all 11y to the South/ North, Then electrons will also change their direction
I think radiation storms and some solar wind blows are more dangerus then then this. On end of May (if i remeber right) there was huge hyder flare what caused big radiation storm that put down xray meassurement satellite equipment for many hours and damaged GOES13 satelite
No one is going to die, and honestly it sounds like you need to relax a little bit, and by 'a little bit' I mean a lot. This happens roughly every 11 years, assuming you are over 11 you've been threw this before.
100% right! However it will affect some technological devices and comunications but not so soon, it should have happened already but there is no prediction about when is going to happen again. I would guess...maybe more than 200 years from now to the next earth polarity flip.
I agree with their time frame as it is when Earth, Venus and Jupiter align. I wouldn't be in a plane mid 2020. The alignment is a bit off but it could be nasty. It will probably start the next solar cycle.
My recent visit to my doctor who is a Dermatologist was alarming. She warned me not to not have my skin come into direct contact with Sunlight? I chuckled, and took her warning lightly, then she got furious. She told me that her warning wasn't meant to be humorous. Why, asked. The incidences of skin cancer has soared and she didn't want me to be her next case! Wear a hat, sunglasses, long sleeved shirts, long pants and wear sunblock. Our atmosphere has changed sunlight is now dangerous?
@Bruno Naletto Ok, so, assuming that you have no hope, why is it that you are here versus dead? Cause if there was nothing afterwards, then why do we need to do things for other people, eat food, go to the bathroom, wait for everyone else in line, sleep, and work, when we can just off ourselves so that we don't have to keep doing those things.(for nothing)
It said that the northern hemisphere had already flipped polarization. "the northern hemisphere has already flipped sign and the southern hemisphere is racing to catch up." I think your analogy is over simplified.
