In Five Days the World Could End (As You Know It)

From: technorati.com...

If you woke up in five days and there was no electricity, no internet, no cell phones, what would you do? As for me, I'll answer that question at the end of this article. But why worry, it's not going to happen. But it could and I'll explain it briefly.

In five days, a large “benevolent monster” of a sunspot is turning to face the Earth. The most active part of the entire sun since 2005. And “it's still growing,” according to Jess Whittington, a forecaster at the federal Space Weather Prediction Center. This “benevolent monster” of a sunspot will only be facing our planet for two weeks.

The consequences of this is dire, if you only understand what happens if this “benevolent monster” of a sunspot unleashes it's full fury upon our small planet. Let's go back in time to 1859.

From August 28 until September 2, 1859, the earth faced a similar scenario such as what is occurring in five days. On September 1, 1859, the largest flare came unleashed a coronal mass ejection straight at the Earth. And just 18 hours later, the largest recorded geomagnetic storm hit the Earth.

In Boston, the light was so bright that even at 1:00 AM, people could read the newspaper without any other light sources around them. The currents in long Telegraph wires in both the United States and Europe experienced induced ElectroMagnetic Force. Fires broke out in the telegraph offices and even shocked the telegraph operators. Auroras were seen in Hawaii, Mexico, Cuba and Italy. This was the 1859 solar superstorm.

In five days, the electric grid to the United States could be virtually destroyed in the northern Half of the United States. With 130 million people without electricity for 4 to 10 years as 350 transformers are destroyed. The entire Alaska Pipeline could erupt into a fireball. All land line telephones could be destroyed.

So in five days, if a solar superstorm such as the one that hit the Earth in 1859 hits the Earth again, then I'll calmly sit back and open my Bible and read it under the 1:00 AM lights.

In five days? That means, tomorrow! It's very interesting how many "mini-events" that could happen this week!

Dear OP,
Thank you for posting this. Since I don't live my entire life on the ATS forum, I often miss interesting items such as this. Had you not double posted it, I wouldn't have seen it at all.

While I strongly doubt anything will come of this scenario, I appreciate the read
Regards ♥



Dear ICEKOHLD,
Thank you for the link to the more extensive thread on this subject, I recommend everyone read it. Entertaining at the least.

Meanwhile, there's no need for you to be so rude. Your first post was reasonably appropriate (though more politely and in paragraph form would've garnered more respect), but SERIOUSLY??!! Was there really a need for 3 more posts with the same word?

Peace.
