    • @Xezlec
      @Xezlec Рік тому +21

      It doesn't bounce. It was a massive stream of charged particles hitting the Earth. Any long piece of wire will act as an antenna and pick up a current induced by the changing magnetic field of such a large current. The bigger the wire, the more it picks up. So telegraph lines, which span hundreds of miles, are able to pick up a very substantial current for as long as those charged particles keep coming.

The light was so bright it woke me up so I could witness the aurora over New Jersey. The reds, blues, and greens were vibrant and lit up the northern and north-western sky. I didn't find out what happened till much later while reading an article about the severity of Quebec's massive blackouts, and how some satellites were disrupted. There was also a space shuttle in orbit at the time that was minimally affected.

    Read the novel "One Second After", a 2009 novel by American writer William R. Forstchen. The novel deals with an unexpected electromagnetic pulse attack on the United States as it affects the people living in and around the small American town of Black Mountain, North Carolina. It's most likely fairly realistic about what would happen with an EMP attack or a Carrington-like Sun event in modern times.

    Kind of reminds me of the total eclipse that happened in 2017. I was outside at the time, and when totality happened, everything just got weirdly quiet except for the people. Birds went still. Insects fell silent. Even barking dogs went quiet. It was as if a blanket had dropped over everything, muted and stilled everything. It was really bizarre. And for the few minutes of totality, everything was "different" somehow. As the sun came back, things were slow to return to "normal". If I didn't know it was a natural phenomena, it would have been terrifying. As it was, it still gave me goosebumps.

    Just a note: the aurora are not _both_ referred to as "Aurora Borealis." AKA "Northern Lights." That's only for the northern hemisphere. The southern hemisphere's aurora is the Aurora Australis, or "Southern Lights." The Aurora Borealis is more famous, but that's largely because it's more accessible. The Australis is mostly only visible in Antarctica and a few places in southernmost Australia or Tasmania.

    This happened again on March 13th, 1989 albeit on a slightly smaller scale. It was however enough to cause major power disruptions in Canada and some other countries closer to the Arctic Circle. During about a 4-5 day period after the Aurora was clearly visible as far south as Florida and Texas. This wasn't on the scale of the Carrington Event but it was an event just the same. Just because the Carrington Event was so bad doesn't mean it's that bad every time it happens. 1989 was proof of that.
    The 1989 event is also how we came up with that 150 year estimate. The truth is that for a flare to hit us it has to originate from less than .01% of the Sun's surface. What this means is when the sun flares there is less then a 1 in 10,000 chance it will come our way. Also Flares vary greatly in intensity so for that flare to be a Carrington level flare makes it even rarer of an event.

Literal fire poured from circuits in Pittsburgh. In Washington, D.C., an operator named Frederick W. Royce was severely shocked. Papers caught fire. On Aug. 4, 1972, U.S. military pilots flying south of Haiphong harbor in North Vietnam saw something unexpected. More than two dozen sea mines suddenly-and without apparent explanation-exploding in the water. Can you imagine how this will affect the technology of today?

I've taken astronomy courses in college as well as half a dozen science courses in middle and high school, and have watched so many videos about other 'space' phenomena like eclipses and auroras. This event was witnessed worldwide. And while it happened eight years before the birth of Laura Ingalls Wilder, my favorite author from childhood, her father never mentioned it in the stories he loved to tell about his youth (and which were a big part of Wilder's series about her own youth). Given the era, no wonder people feared it was a sign of the End Times.

It was congress that passed the idiotic stimulus bills. Yes I know that Trump signed 2 out of the 3 bills. It was Joe that signed that last and least necessary bill with so much pork in it and had little to do with covid. Only 10% of the last bill had anything to do with covid. Lastly blame the American people demanding the stupid bills. We are at fault for tearing down our economy. There is no such thing as free money.
      Lastly, if Trump lied so much, name 5 big lies he made. I do not want to hear opinions he had like covid would disappear by April, that is an opinion.

      @@TheLittlered1961 There are so, so many to choose from, but here is a random assortment of the first that come to mind:
      1) Trump repeatedly took credit for the Veterans Choice program. He touted this "accomplishment" countless times during his 2020 campaigning, going so far as saying that the then-deceased Vietnam vet John McCain failed to get the bill passed, and that Trump himself succeeded at passing it. In reality, John McCain was the key Republican Senator behind the Veterans Choice bill, which passed in 2014 and was signed into law by Obama.
      2) Trump claimed countless times that he had a plan to replace the Affordable Care Act (a.k.a. Obamacare) and that he would always protect people with pre-existing conditions. In reality, his administration advanced a lawsuit all the way to the Supreme Court that specifically argued that the ACA's protection for people with pre-existing conditions was unconstitutional and should be voided. In his entire four year term, he never once produced even an inkling of a healthcare plan to replace that protection.
      3) Trump incorrectly claimed that Alabama was was likely to be hit by Hurricane Dorian, when the state had already bern ruled out of all forecast predictions. NOAA had to issue a public statement advising panicked residents of Alabama that they were, in fact, not in danger. This would have been an innocent mistake (albeit the kind a President should never make), had he admitted his error and corrected himself. Instead he doubled down on his false claim, hosting a national press event where he presented a printed NOAA forecast map that had been modified with a Sharpie to show Alabama inside the forecast path. This sort of tampering with and presentation of falsified weather forecast documents is a crime, and he committed it in front of a national audience. Trump then ordered his aides to obtain an official retraction from NOAA for their public statement that had corrected his original false claim. After this political pressure, NOAA did publish an unsigned letter in support of Trumps claim, which directly contradicted their original statement. This prompted an outcry from meteorologists and multiple formal investigations by NWS which found that two NOAA administrators had twice violated the organization's scientific integrity policy by issuing the retraction statement. I won't go into the multiple false claims that he repeated many times regarding Hurricane Maria and Puerto Rico, but I urge you to Google it.
      4) Trump repeated a variety of false claims about his administration's tax bills. He frequently claimed that he "eliminated the estate tax", claiming that this would substantially benefit family farms and small businesses, which was not true. His tax law simply raised the threshold at which the tax was incurred. And even before his law, only 0.15% of estate tax revenue was paid by family farms and small businesses. He also claimed that his tax changes saved people making 75,000 per year saved an average of $2000 in federal tax. In reality the average was about $800, and about 9% of households in that salary range ended up owing MORE in taxes as a result of his tax law changes.
      5) "No quid pro quo", "it was a perfect call", and Trump's many other denials that he had pressured top Ukrainian officials to investigate his political rival Joe Biden and his son Hunter, including ousting the appointed US ambassador Marie Yovanavich. This includes a litany of violations of his oath of office and false statements regarding investigations into Burisma, Trump's overseeing of the efforts of Lev Parnas, Igor Fruman and Rudy Giuliani in Ukraine, the withholding of millions of dollars in congressionally-designated support funds from Ukraine in exchange for political favors, sharing of classified national security information with Russian diplomats, an attempted cover-up of official conversations with foreign leaders in which Trump attempted to advance corrupt arrangements, and his violation of whistleblower protection policies. This stuff has all been investigated thoroughly at this point (which wasnt hard because a president's actions and statements are almost all documented and archived for the official records), and a highly detailed timeline of events can be found at just security dot org. These are not partisan allegations, they are established, documented facts.
      And this is just the tip of a very very deep iceberg.

      On the scientific side, researchers have been trying to find a reliable kind of physical evidence of Carrington-style events. Based on tree-ring evidence, there probably was one around 775CE, and another around 993CE. But it's hard to tell what level of event would actually be identifiable through this method. And, of course, it's possible for one of these events to happen, but miss the earth (like what happened in July 2012), in which case there would be no records.

    Putting electricals off line won't stop a Carrington event from destroying it. The Carrington event that was a solar flare is highly electrical and will destroy just about anything with electronic parts inside connected or not! The only way you might have a chance of saving anything is in a Faraday cage.

      Nina! Sister ☆ Why worry over things You cannot control? :) Remember all the beautiful moments in your life. Remember the feeling? The frequency? Go there. Breathe. You Know Thyself. Fear truly is "unreal"..
      Just like time (manmade, remember that!)
      Love You. Go within. All the answers are awaiting you. The past year, with the big plandemic.. is showing us all, that we're constantly being lied to (this video - the event, experienced by every being within our earth - not questioning that) Sooo many inconsistencies.
      Do research, your own (that helped me big time step out of fear)
      Realise how history is just that, his-story.
      Remember we never know the truth of a battle/war, we only hear the victors story.
      Just like now.
      Question everything.
      Truth is subjective.
      I mean you no harm, just had a feeling to respond to your particular comment.
      May you be feeling alright today, and wherever you are in this spectacular universe being human, be happy - you're Alive! Beautiful.

      Trouble is, she's not wrong. At all. Our sun is capable of flaring at far higher levels than the Carrington Event. Our magnetic shield has decreased by 25% since 1859. Both north and south magnetic poles are on the move. It WILL be the end of the world as we know it. Power is not coming back, not after a week, not after 10 years, NOT AT ALL. And as someone said above, worst thing is that this is just a normal event in the cycle of or planet.

    In fact we had a Carrington-level event as recently as 2012...thankfully, it missed striking the Earth by something like only 9 or 10 days due to the positions of the Earth and the part of the Sun that sent out a coronal mass ejection...now THAT is pretty damn close and it makes me wonder how many near misses we have
