Geomagnetic storms and solar flares, explained | JUST THE FAQS

[@dtplaysmc8841]

Here after hearing about the solar storm reaching Earth today

[@cxx1953]

Yup, haarp

I love that you are here. Bc I'm here for the same reason. And what are the chances two random people having the same experience at the same relative time? I enjoy moments like these. I live for the KZbin threads.

@cross479 Gods don't exist. You're wasting what little time that you have on Earth.

[@AdeebaZamaan]

I'm glad someone besides us "Fringe" observers has the guts to call the Carrington Event to the world's attention! Why are our power lines not even underground?

[@TracyD2]

As with anything no precautions are ever implemented until something goes terribly wrong or people get killed. It’s all about money.

[@localcompanion]

We would mainly need to be concerned about the power plants themselves being affected by the storms.

[@silencedogood9747]

Mine are, but I don't think that'll help me since the main line on the highway isn't underground.

[@v4riab1lity77]

They’re not subterranean or sub oceanic because it severely impedes the electromagnetic field of those lines, thus impeding or nullifying them. I saw a video about exactly that, though I think it mainly focused on underwater. They are raised above ground for a very good scientific reason

[@davidblack765]

The dokie about to splatter the fan when the solar flares knock out the power ! Going to be tough going into the polar shift with power and no way of getting information out to us !! Pray up and put on the armor of God !!!

[@isubtothebest6020]

You not going to mention lightning falling like rain? “CME a giant cloud of particles “ Downplaying the seriousness of a cme , they can be bigger that the actual sun itself .

[@pickle_doof]

So if you were confused from my understanding a geomagnetic storm is when a solar flare hits the earth (which is blocked by our atmosphere) it messes with and shuts down a lot of technology BUT DOES NOT POSE ANY THREAT TO THE EARTH.

[@milandragacevac]

It all depends on the size though, but I dont see any reason to worry about

[@cxx1953]

So how it does not affect the ISS

[@SchwarzerLuan]

Flares done even create geomagnetic storms. Cmes do

[@paulmobleyscience]

One day another Carrington event will occur, it's an inevitability. The US grid and many around the world would not be able to handle that type of event and would take many years to get up and running to the same capacity. Faraday cage what you can and learn how to live without power for the rest.

[@paulmobleyscience]

@@isubtothebest6020 And how do you faraday cage an entire nation's power grid controlled by only three separate entities in the US? I'm not sure I comprehend what you're saying. Are you saying a faraday cage would block any wavelength that the sun is capable of or are you saying that we don't have the ability to do less than 1 tenth?

[@JayRee1993]

Who frequently asks questions about solar flares? We should probably get on that.

[@mujinaumemiya3130]

Strong sun activities are one causes of geomagnetic storm, and the loss of protection by the earth atmosphere can be another. Human depleted greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, which may cause geomagnetic disruption in the life of human beings.

Too bad our magnetic field is weakening rapidly.

[@SeeTheWholeTruth]

Yes, on the basis of not the 11.8 year cycle, but the multiple cycles with a grand solar minimum. Which, they conveniently deleted on the full statement I made before. This a kindergarten lesson. Not the historic factual instance of which we are going through. USA Today is just like the name, a propaganda rag.

No govt cant control this!

[@CosmicSeeker69]

Little do you understand about governments and the controls they have over both earth and solar weather. I'll give you a clue. The first patent connected with WM was filed in 1891. Yes, 1891. Now stop and think deeply about the technical progress that has happened in that time........ All the US Presidential class war ships have nuclear power DEW's fitted - also the latest USAF planes have them too. Any of these can create or modify weather. That's one reason why there's so much talk about the Three Gorges Dams in Chinah. The threat from the US is immense. Of course it works the other way too.

Title says just the facts proceeds to begin the video with fear-mongering look I clicked on this because I wanted to know the exact makeup and structure of a solar flare not because of how you think the coronal mass or solar flare could upheavals from technological advancements all together just leave that crap out of it if there's no place for it
