Rising Son  User ID: 24336879  Japan09/28/2012 07:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Now if only you could have said that without the snide and arrogant disrespect... Quoting: Rising Son I'm not disrespecting anyone as 1., I don't know any of you. 2. in the real world I'm quite sure most of GLPers would be an ass as well... That's quite an assumption, and you may want to re-read your earlier post before you claim you didn't disrespect anyone. Apparently, you have some short-term memory loss... "Be still, and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10 Truth needs no validation because it is self-evident and undeniable.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 14589973  Netherlands09/28/2012 07:17 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | God damn people, go to school for engineering! There must not be enough of us left, sadly... Our system is designed for such an event. We have surge breakers before the transformers, we all have a top ground to absorb such a thing, we have A/C for fuck sake... on & on I'm not gonna go into the details, as I've posted this plenty enough times & do not give a shit anymore, but we would need something a crap load larger to pull a stunt like 1859. You can all thank Tesla for that! Hell you can even toss most new cell phones in a microwave for 30seconds and they won't die, but a hot dog (being 60-80% water) splits. You are 70-80% water. For the sun to bring down 1st-world grids would first bring you=hotdog. That said, it does not need to be an 1859, or even 1989, degree of storm in order for there to be disruptions. In 2003 a -350 Dst storm disrupted American air traffic control and caused power outages in Sweden (1st world country last time I checked). Now I'm not saying this CME is on par with 2003, just clarifying that it doesn't need to be a Carrington event in order for it to be felt. Look, I'm not saying a CME cannot fuck us up, it can... But for this "back to the stone age crap, we would all be dead... 'We'd all be Dead' - No,that is incorrect. Induced Electric currents that overload Power Grids need'nt not cook us like a Microwave also,I don't know where you get that idea from. here is a little about Solar Storm potentials and how Earth as a whole is unprepared for a Major Event - [link to www.msnbc.msn.com] And here is a ditty about the fastest observed CME ever by Humans - [link to www.space.com] <--- That was on July 23rd,this Year. This CME,if NASAs' estimate is correct,is close to that kind of velocity. |

Everything is not about just 1st world countries such as USA where I was born and raised. There are the other 6 billion people on the planet you know, who don't have the best infrastructure. So if the USA or Europe get their grid knocked out for a few hours or days, just think about the rest of us who have to suffer with no aircon. lol Quoting: BoroBoro Just saying The only thing is, the right solar storm could cook the grid for good. No satellite communications, no internet, no TV, it would take us a good decade to get back to the 1950s. In the interim, a billion or so people die of mass starvation.

Only some CME but nothing to worry, CME was medium strong nothing else .. [link to spaceweather.gmu.edu] The arrival date is less than 24 Hours per. NASA. If that is correct and the density as high as it appears,well. CME was strong but nothing to worry, we have so many similar situation and much stronger events .. I'm on work now I must go, see ya .. Yeah, you better had go back to work....you being a dinner lady in a underground bunker, suppose you gotta lot of bullshitters mouths to feed.... |
