Natural fluctuations in the sun's atmosphere could cause (Just like I might start glowing in five different colors
tonight while I sleep) it to fire a giant
plasma ball at Earth, shutting down the planet's electric grids and leading to
widespread social collapse, according to a report from the U.S. National
Academy of Sciences (NAS). As long as they have
been studying the sun, the fiery burst rise a few thousand miles only to be
sucked back down to the surface by the sun’s crushing gravitational pull. It
appears that the writers of this confused the origin of Superman on Planet Krypton
and its sun exploding and destroying its civilization with earth where we live
and breath, It is a sad day when the make believe of comics becomes
multibillion dollar efforts of scientists and researcher. It is sadder still
when Christians become worried and troubled by the rumors and fantasy that are
written about, in our airwaves all around us, and on the internet and treat
such as being equal or greater than the word of God, or equal and greater than God
and Jesus Christ Himself. How faithless
and unblieving this generation is. And with parents, pastors and teachers that believe
this gobbledy-gook and flood their minds with all of this
what shall their children be like?
Funded by NASA, the report draws attention to
naturally occurring events known as coronal mass ejections (CME), in which a
ball of plasma -- the charged, high-energy particles that comprise stars -- is
fired from the sun. If such a ball strikes the Earth, it could produce rapid
changes in the planet's magnetic field, leading to a surge of direct current in
the long-range power lines that carry electricity through modern power grids.
Modern power grids are designed to carry electricity
at extremely high voltage, making them especially susceptible to this kind of
magnetic disruption. What they are not designed to do, however, is carry direct
current. Transformers are particularly vulnerable, and sudden influx of direct
current could cause the wiring inside the devices to melt. The NAS report
estimates that within 90 seconds of a plasma ball hitting the Earth's magnetic
field, power would be knocked out to 130 million people in the
A really large storm could be a planetary
disaster," said power industry analyst John Kappenman.
In the
"It's just the opposite of how we usually
think of natural disasters," Kappenman said. "Usually the less
developed regions of the world are most vulnerable, not the highly
sophisticated technological regions."
According to the report, potable water would be
one of the first losses in the event of such a disaster. Because water pumping
relies on electricity, people would have access to tap water only for about
half a day, until the amount already in the system ran out. High-rises, which
rely on water being pumped to upper floors, would lose water immediately.
All electric-powered transport would stop at once,
and automobiles could only run until they ran out of gas, since the pumps at
gas stations also rely on electricity. This would quickly cause the shelves at
stores to run bare, since the modern "just-in-time" delivery method
relies on restocking shelves as they run out, with minimal storage inside shops
themselves.
Backup generators at places like hospitals could
only run until they ran out of fuel. According to the report, this translates
into 72 hours of minimal care for only the most vulnerable patients. The
absence of refrigeration would cause food and many prescription drugs to
quickly spoil.
The NAS report notes that a technological meltdown
on this scale might be impossible to undo. Pumping natural gas or oil requires
electricity, and modern transport networks are required to keep coal plants
supplied. Nuclear power plants automatically shut down if the power grid fails,
and cannot be turned back on until the grid is back to normal. Very few spare
transformers exist, meaning that new ones would need to be manufactured to
replace most of the burned-out ones. Again, the lack of industrial
infrastructure would make this a major challenge.
"We're moving closer and closer to the edge
of a possible disaster," said Daniel Baker, chair of the committee that
produced the report.
Although the scenario may sound fantastic and
unlikely, scientists warn that there have been precedents. In 1859, a CME known
as the Carrington event produced auroras as far south as the equator and caused
severe disruptions to the world's telegraph systems. In 1989, a direct current
overload in the power grid cut off electricity to 6 million people in

“How
dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the
fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there
is this fearful fatalistic apathy. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of
agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist
wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism
deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and
sanctity.”
“The fact
that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute
property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final
extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power
among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the
brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die. But the influence
of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No
stronger retrograde force exists in the world.”
“Far from
being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has
already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every
step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of
science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilization
of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”
