Well the sun will be eclipsed but the center of the milky way galaxy and my intuition tells me that's is what will cause the three days of darkness. My intuition is usually right.

From 2001, the last time this normally happens:
The Sun's magnetic north pole, which was in the northern hemisphere just a few months ago, now points south. It's a topsy-turvy situation, but not an unexpected one.
"This always happens around the time of solar maximum," says David Hathaway, a solar physicist at the Marshall Space Flight Center. "The magnetic poles exchange places at the peak of the sunspot cycle. In fact, it's a good indication that Solar Max is really here."

It's about as exciting as your neighbor putting a new coat of paint on his garage door.
The heliosphere doesn't simply wink out of existence when the poles flip -- there are plenty of complex magnetic structures to fill the void.

it shouldn't cause too much disturbance however, in other words nothing global. and life should function as usual for most people.

Please show some mercy for a poor, brain fried bunny this Sunday afternoon. If this happens, as described, what does it mean? DO we see more flares..less flares? Does that actually have a direct effect on Earth the day it happens or after?
I'm just not clear on what a polar shift on the sun actually means in a day to day reality for us here? If I wasn't on ATS to read about it, for instance, what would I see that day to know something happened at all?
The solar storm of 1859, also known as the Solar Superstorm,[1] or the Carrington Event,[2] which occurred during solar cycle 10, was the most powerful solar storm in recorded history, and the largest flare, observed by Richard Christopher Carrington, became known as the Carrington Super Flare.

The Singularity of the black hole in the center of the galaxy has a plane aspect that coincides with the MHD Bloch wall, our quasi-perioidc pass through this plane and the NOVEL perpendicular Dark Matter horizon / Galactic Magnetopause / photon belt / Great Red Dragon is what constitutes the Galactic Cross or Judgement Day.

So basically you are as ignorant as me on the topic of Sun quadrupolar as you didn't answer any of my post question, you assumed I'm spanish I'm not, and as for google it, don't need to I know all about La Palma, and let me tell you this, when that wave starts to ride, it's not coming towards me, it's heading your way, so I suggest you find your self a board ready for the ride, (now whose laughing punk?)

So you are saying in 2001 the largest solar flare recorded in history was let loose? Strange.

But even the 1859 event isn't much to think about really, considering the Earth has been hit with solar flares for billions of years and the amount of time where humans recorded the event is less than a blink of an eye in its history.

I have a question.............
Has there ever been two North and South Poles on the Sun before?
I understand the "flip" has happened multiple times. That seems to be normal indeed.
But 4 poles? That doesn't sound right, nor does it sound like it's nothing to question.
SN: I can't seem to find any documents about the Sun ever having more than 2 poles.
It is assumed that the earth's magnetic field "protects" humans from the harmful effects of the sun etc. I would contend that it does not do this, but quite the opposite, it keeps us from accessing the very thing you posit - a more connected, true experience. There are some of us who would say that if we were unprotected, the nature of our earth plane reality would be vastly different then what we have now and the shield is what keeps us oppressed, sick, disconnected and in the end lost.

If you seek the enlightenment you envisage in solar radiation, which Mother Earth is scurrilously hiding from us, I offer you salvation in the form of Fukushima. Go bask in its glorious liberation and ascend; blind, blistered and sored, to the heavens.
