Re: BREAKING - Almost ALL Chile has a blackout right now
Light from the Sun takes only around 8 minutes and nobody has said how long a gravitational effect would take effect Earth.


Scientist have shown gravity is an instant effect. It has no time of travel. So in a way it is faster then light by a factor of infinity.

The very moment a gravity increase happens light years away, we feel it at the same exact time.

They have proven this by studying comets and other larger rocks effects on other bodies in space.

So, if the sun exploded, we would not see the explosion until after we were flung out of orbit in a straight line for around 8 minutes of travel?

Then i guess gravity waves and Einstein's theory (and 100 years of science after Newton) is wrong... naughty

Quebec didn't have a global effect in the 90s when the CME cut power across the province.

Yeah because only ONE big transformator was fried.

But if more than one would have been fried, it would have affected way more people.

OP or someone said cell phones were going down too. It's to be expected if everyone in the country tried to call a freind at the same time. It happened almost nation wide here in the US on 911. System overload.
Updates directly from Chile may be slow in coming.

"God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787

makes sense. nothing in the mainstream media either at this point. one would assume satellite communications can still be used for television broadcasts depending on whether or not they have their cameras fully loaded... chuckle

Sorry... Chile will only be the beginning as you can see from the SOHO vid. The damage done is from the CME ripping off from the 13th at the beginning of the vid, the large spread CME's ripping off on the 14th will cause a more widespread disaster.

The Earth is under attack...

Re: BREAKING - Almost ALL Chile has a blackout right now
link? somewhere?

what about eq activity? anything?

OP posted to us the other day when the HUGE aftershocks started hitting. Everything he said was accurate.

He wrote about the first two aftershocks before they were detected and could be verified.

Looks like some of his threads have been deleted .... he is a member since 2007 but only 2 threads, weird.

Power still off? I can get several of my electricians to fix that. Hell we all would have been fired for leaving the lights off even 1/2 this long. They fail horribly in Chile in that classification.

Wonder what the scale is in that 3rd world country?
