me too, hummmmm, DOOOMMMMM. lol

Strange

Well, spaceweather.com states the current activity level is currently low...further, your cited post is just a blog written by some joe blow...utilizes sensationalistic words like "monster," with absolutely zero credibility for such a claim... if the current level of sunspot activity is lower than that of 2005, then what gives credence to a statement like this from the article you cite?

...the risk over the next two weeks of a Carrington-like event are higher now than at anytime in the last decade.

DP, read below

OK, how about you help us out and get on the NOAA weather and predations center to get the link. as you will find the website is shutdown....

and again the number of sunspots have nothing to do with the SIZE of a sunspot. who cares if there are less sunspots then 2005. the question is did 2005 have a sun spot the size of 14 earths? NO!

lets hope it does happen, its time for a change and something cool to live with, don't want any deaths involved tho. world without technology , back to the old age folks

Oh there would be no winners - as the power lines and everything attached to them ignite like a fuse, imagine the rancid toxic smoke from all the olastics and such our lives are filled with. IF a carrington event happens - there are no winners

Your argument on the number of sunspots is comparable to saying, there was 100 BB guns in 2005 pointing at the earth. Well in 2011 we have 1 88mm cannon pointing at earth. Your argument is not relevant to this thread

So I'm guessing you know how to farm, hunt and filter unclean water for drinking and have the tools to do so on hand and live in an area you have enough natural resources to do this as well? That is about the dumbest comment I have heard. And you wouldn't expect an event like this to cause any deaths? Sorry, but that is just ignorant. Guess all the big city folk would be the first to die from rioting and violence due to lack of ANY resources, but that would probably be cool with you huh? Ignorance is bliss I guess.....but stupidity and lack of preparation are what kill.

Currently situation of that sunspot group, other sunspots and current situation of Sun activity ..

"Huge Sunspot group 1339, Solar Flare M 4.3"

www.abovetopsecret.com...

Sun is very peaceful so all is ok, "stream" from that AR 1339 is only dangerous for now and hope it's stay like that ..

Cant see where is source of that claims for NOAA, if NOAA say that they are wrong ..

Peace ..

Actually your monster sunspot is not a single spot either...

www.foxnews.com...

...The sunspot is actually a group of nearby darkened spots on the sun, some of which are individually wider than planet Earth.

So, my argument about number is indeed relevant, as it seems your giant sunspot turns out to many SMALLER sunspots...thank you...

people have lived in past without power, food, and water, so we can also, today we have everything available so we make use of it. Example, today people cant live without cellphone, if they don't have their cellphone, they feel like they are not connected to world, am I right? Today we depend only on technology, remember this one day, when it does happen, what will you do?

reply to post by jeichelberg


All that source are from ..

Published November 04, 2011

In that time we was all very concern ..

Last days is mach different situation ..

Sun is sleeping last 3-4 days specially in our side direction, hope stay in that move ..

Peace ..

I happen to have all the equipment and necessary skills I need to survive for a bit....how long I don't know, but I certainly wouldn't say I hope this happens. While people may not want to live without technology, they can. Sure we would have to go back to a bartering system as paper and coins would have no real significance, nor would wealth.....wealth would be determined by how well you can survive and keep your loved ones and friends safe and surviving as well. Technology is only one part of it, but I would not care to think of the amount of human lives lost should an event like this occur....especially in large cities where natural resources are scarce at best and most water is recycled and food "imported" from other states. I am connected daily whether I like it or not because of my career. I would love nothing more than to toss my phone most days, but I also know that should something like this occur I wouldn't be able to contact a lot of family and friends I have around the world and yes that would be an example of how I wouldn't want to live without technology. But honestly, if an event like this did occur and all the people we have that have worked in tech fields are still around, it may take some time but it would be rebuilt and most likely very similar to the way it was prior. It isn't like we would all forget what we know and wouldn't rebuild the world as we knew it or just throw in the towel and all go live in communes and farm....that just simply wouldn't happen.

edit on 11/8/2011 by jeichelberg because: More information and further source

edit on 11/8/2011 by jeichelberg because: additional information

No it's not relevant. even in your link it says its the largest in recent history and its labled as AR1339. ONE SUNSPOT! if it was many they would have given numbers to all those little sunspots.

your argument is void once again by your own links

reply to post by camaro68ss


Again more obfuscation and misunderstanding on your part...the number of sunspots have nothing to do with the numbering...read this...

spaceweather.com...

...Counting sunspots is not as straightforward as it sounds. Suppose you looked at the Sun through a pair of (properly filtered) low power binoculars -- you might be able to see two or three large spots. An observer peering through a high-powered telescope might see 10 or 20. A powerful space-based observatory could see even more -- say, 50 to 100. Which is the correct sunspot number?

So, as you can see it much SIMPLER for the astronomers to simply label the entire group with a single identifier...

Again, what does the number of small BB size sunspots for 2005, have to do with this cannon size sunspots. you data on how many sunsports in the past have nothing to do with this large sunspot that is 14 times the size of earth.

WHO CARES how many sun spots are predected for 2011-2013. all it takes is one large one to wipeout the power grid.

your like talking to a wall.

I totally agree with you, but remember its soon too happen and its not far away. The life as we live in , its like a sine wave, we went up in technology, now it's to fall back down, and let another civilization come into play. It happened already, so its going to happen again.

reply to post by camaro68ss


The point is you have continuously labeled this object as a single spot, when it quite clearly is not...rather than argue from a point of loss, simply concede it is not a single monster and label it for what it is...a group of spots that has been identified, as is the norm...it is not a single sunspot...Will you grant that or not...

reply to post by jeichelberg


And again in your date you linked to it shows less then 100 sunspots accrued when the Carrington event took place in that time period. The number of sunspots have nothing to do with one sunspots activity

Carrinton event had a group of spots too, It was a MONSTER, whould you say its not? whats your point?
