"National power grid shutdown to speed up clocks by 20 minutes"!!! Remember Sicily clocks 20 minutes fast thread days ago?
[link to www.pjstar.com]

They're saying an experiment starting in mid-July may make clocks on ovens, microwaves, DVD players, other appliances may go as much as 20 minutes fast... and who saw this thread/experienced this the last week, of clocks being 20 minutes fast in Sicily? Is this news some cover for time acceleration/whatever the hell is really going on??? Because people are catching on? Hmmm...

I'm confused. I've just been on holiday in Sicily and my watch was set correctly. I'm now on my way to America. Should I take off the 20 minutes and readjust to SET with adjustment of 20 minutes or just let the national power grid sort it out?

They are testing the publics reaction.Both before and during the test.I get so tired of hearing the phrase green energy.Now none of my clocks will work properly because of it.Idiotic envirofreaks are good for nothing but screwing up a good wet dream.

A year ago or two, you Americans initiated a move to change the time by an hour ahead IIRC.. and it wasn't related to the Spring Forward-Fall Back thaaaang. Mention it now and nobody remembers it but I'm not fucking nuts

If computers and servers are too far out of clock sync, many servers are programmed to dismiss the packet request. In other words, this will shut down much of the internet for as long as the discrepancies are happening.

This should be pinned, its the best story on here right now.

Translation: CERN made a black hole that made its way to the middle of the earth and will start to fuck up space time around mid july. Power grid my ass, how does varying the current effect the piezoelectric properties of a quartz crystal that runs the clock?

Second, the government would not do this on purpose, think of all the lawsuits if they fry everybody's electronics. They arnt doing this, its a big fucking cover and pretty damn transparent. Wouldn't congress need to approve something that could destroy millions of household appliances. something is out of control.

I agree, its a missive cover up for something out of our control. we all know the last thing the gov't wants is to look out of control. "I see the bad moon rising, I know the end is comin soon." "Looks like we're in for nasty weather"

"Is anyone using the grid to keep track of time?" McClelland said. "Let's see if anyone complains if we eliminate it."

For some reason, this particular bit from the article makes it even creepier. This seems like a joke...they are really going to start futzing around with the power grid, with unknown outcomes, in the middle of summer? wtf

Honestly...I think that the solar storms, which we seen scientists claim are getting worse, are the reason for them messing with the power grid. Maybe they are trying to find frequencies that won't be affected by the solar storms? I'm just guessing here, but that would make sense to me. I found this on the nerc website regarding solar storms:

Space weather phenomena have a variety of effects on technology. Energetic particles thrown out from the sun interact with the earth's magnetic field producing magnetic disturbances and increased ionization in the ionosphere, 100 to 1000 km above the earth. The high energy particles affect satellites causing misoperation or equipment damage that can put the satellite out of operation. Radio waves used for satellite communications or GPS navigation are affected by the increased ionization with disruption of the communication or navigation systems. The magnetic disturbances directly affect operations that use the magnetic field, such as magnetic surveys, directional drilling, or compass use. Magnetic disturbances also induce electric currents in long conductors such as power lines and pipelines causing power system outages or pipeline corrosion.

Maybe "they' aren't doing this at all.
Our Solar System isheading into the the highly charged 'Local Fluff'. I think this can explain allot of our electrical anomalies right now.
AND it will be very interesting to see how we react with no power interference when the grid goes down. I think its going to affect people allot more than expected.
