HUGE!! CME just went off!

Wow the sun is an amazing thing.......Any chance of being able to see the aurora from the south of England??

Ah,always ready for some some fire shows in the sky,never gets old.

There is a chance, auroras happen more in late summer, early fall, and like stargazing they are much harder to see if you are in the city with all the light pollution. Auroras center around the north magnetic pole, so look in that direction. Your best chance would be during a major magnetic storm.

oops, double post.

ELECTRIC and not nuclear fusion based?

That is simply nonsense; Electrical Transconfiguration of Materials does not produce Tritium or the presence of Helium and those are the easiest to prove. Second if you are calling Chemical Fusion a form of Electrical Fusion then you would have the presence of those elements but, it does not produce the type of thermodynamic displacement that the sun produces.

Good Luck with proving that theory!

Thanks I don't live in a city area.......So i'll keep my eyes towards the sky.

I am so glad someone posted that CME as I was going to post the same one; lol These posters know nothing about the SUN!

I have studied about the sun because it has a great influence on my amateur radio hobby. Some people have not studied the sun and have been misinformed by erroneous media reports, thats all.

The sun was really really huge and unbearably bright on May 4. Could have been so on May 3 as well (didn't look up.) Yesterday it was not so. Does this mean (because it was full-on toward us based on direct observation) that +- 3 days later...today or tomorrow...we will recieve the effects? I understand the SOHO full-on explanation for yesterday's event but even here there is some ambiguity about earth catching the edge of something.

Its obvious there is no one that knows all about it. There are many things not explained with the excepted theories...just the same as with the new theories.

There would not be any reason to create new theories, if the old ones worked perfectly.

reply to post by LeoVirgo

Yes.

But old theories are modified or discarded when there is data which makes it necessary to do so. Not because someone thinks something sounds right.

Yes.
And it will.


In about 4 or 5 billion years.

How can we know that for sure?

For me that's nothing more than a theory based on what we think we know about the Sun, nothing more.

Putting dates and saying that it will happen instead of "according to some studies it could happen in X period of time" is a bit over the top for me.

The CME is not going to be a direct hit, there will be no really significant disturbances in Earth's magnetic field, and even if it was a direct hit there would be nothing to worry about.

This honestly means nothing. Things like this is like saying a big cloud just made a huge lightning bolt!?!? I dont understand the significance.this could have been happening 500 years ago all the time we just couldnt see it. I think sometimes you got to let nature do its thing.

LMAO you said just what I was going to say, except with the addition of empirical data to support your claims. How about a proper understanding of subatomic, quantum, and molecular physics; as well as theoretical physics; oh but wait that would be real science not pseudoscience. If you are going to make outlandish scientific claims at least have an understanding of what it is you are trying to sell to the public.

From what I have viewed on the very limited stuff on such a idea...there are things that a electric universe theory could explain that we have no explanation for right now. Im not saying IT IS RIGHT...cause someone THINKS it is...Im not saying what we already know is totally wrong...

I sure dont know enough about it all to say what has more ground and what does not...but I would defiantly not shrug off these ideas about the Universe being electric...after all...every single thing is energy.

Im not wishing to debate...but I am just stating one more time...I dont think we should just throw out such ideas. Better yet...prove them wrong.

Ok thats good, just watch the "Current Auroral Oval" pic, when the reddest part is close to you there is a good chance. At the same time have an AM radio (or MW or broadcast band or whatever you call it over there) tune in stations that are distant, sometimes they will sound garbled like as if they were underwater, thats called aurora scatter a sure sign aurora is about.

WOW! You make that statement after saying you study the SUN? WHAT? If any CME hit the earth its EMP, GAMA, and Neutrino burst produced has an effect on the earth; the effects are in direct comparison with the amounts and angle in which the CME is directed. These effects can be as simple as disrupting the migrating patterns of a flock of birds; to as dramatic as earthquakes; volcanic, or mass weather change; Electrical Storms etc.... if a CME did hit the earth at say the equator; and the hit was a direct hit; the flash EMP along with the increased Neutrino discharge would wipe out 2/3rds the worlds power supply as it would have done in 1859, which in fact ignited fence posts from the electromagnetic discharge off of the barbwire railings; and lets hope that we do not see an increased wave frequency say from 8.5Hz to 13Hz which would effect all life on this planet and not in a good way.

Once again people please do a bit more research before commenting about things you obviously know nothing about.

Everything you ever wanted to know about quantam anything can be learned by reading a short story called "The Ifth of Oofth" by Walter Tevis. Words that I don't understand have always made simple concepts seem complex. Mathematics is fatally flawed and not just because hyperbolic and Euclidian measurements can't be reconciled with each other. In the story we learn that "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." Did anyone else notice how huge and bright the sun was on May 4?

In order to prove that theory; you realize you would have to prove the existence of "Alchemy" Ok I would love to have a debate with whoever thinks they understand that form of science. Transconfiguration; or Transmutation of molecules; to separate at their covalent polar or non-polar bond structure then reforming their bond structure producing addition atoms or subatomic matter and hence finishing their formation bond structure into another element electrically is ridiculous science fiction; great for the movies, or comic books not to great for reality.
