      Up to 90% of US population will die of starvation, especially urban and suburban. Average food from farms travels 1600 miles before reaching consumers. Only pockets of people who'd survive are rural population who can grow their own food self sufficiently. Or extremely rich people in underground bunkers with 5 years worth of food.

    There is this really cool game called “The Long Dark”, where you have to survive in the northern Canadian wilderness after a geomagnetic storm sapped your plane’s battery. It’s a really fun game but since the geomagnetic storm would be a worldwide event it could be considered a post apocalyptic game. But unlike a lot of post apocalyptic games you get to SEE The apocalypse.

      Now tell me: what is this gigantic, many billion year-old, continual explosion in space that we call "sun" compared to Laniakea, if not a single dot of insignificance? Everything is enormous and tiny at the same time. There is no absolute meaning to these notions.

      Technically fusion is more close to a implosion that generates ridiculous amounts of energy. So much energy that a thermonuclear bomb, for example, heats the air of the impact area so much it violently expands and effectively explodes, but the bomb itself doesn't.
      Explosions are most common in chemical reactions, and although stars DO eject mass as well, that happens on the event of a Supernova, or, like the video shows, a Solar Wind (however, the brute of the mass ejected in Solar Winds don't reach us).

    I love how most videos make a reference to how fragile humanity is, can't deny that its true, we really are fragile pieces of glass that could break any second. Yet, I love how it always ends with a positive note, either its something that's not in our hands anymore or other human beings are well aware of these events, so that they can be prevented. In the end, the entire universe will one day go into eternal sleep, yet before that I hope we can get to a certain type of civilization and make more discoveries about our beautiful universe before we all part.

      There is like a %12 chance of a big solar flare happening in the next years. And astronomers think it is most likely to happen in 2025 summer. Scientist will have a day or two after they notice the exact time. The best preparation possible is to shut down the main electricity, if you don't want your devices fried shut down all the house electricity and use tin foil to protect devices with batteries like phones, tablets, laptops... if enough people get prepared and gov shuts down the main thing in time we will probably survive it with no worst scenario... Unlike those pessimistic idiots in comments believing no matter what we do we die, with these done we are not doomed...

It's already weakened 10% or more since the Carrington Event and some scientists are saying that as we approach the flip a CME could potentially unlock the Earth's crust causing significantly rapid continental drift and giant tsunamis. While what they are spraying above us, CaCO3 or better nano-particle aluminum oxide, will absorb electromagnetic energy, it's just buying us time. Mother nature is right on time with her 12,000 year cycle. While I don't think humanity will go extinct, I doubt there will be 8 billion people on the planet after this. Finally, if governments around the world knew there was a 90% chance that this would happen in the next two decades do you really think they would tell us?

      I personally think it's difficult to truly compare the pandemic to any solar storm situation, because for the pandemic, dealing with it is very much in all our hands, not solely and specifically in the hands of the healthcare workers. Everyone needs to put on a mask, everyone needs to get vaccinated, everyone needs to practice good hygiene. With the solar storms, only the engineers and power technicians, who are experts and professionals in their fields, will be involved in the whole process, while we as common folk would only be able to sit and wait. Of course people will complain and get riled up over having their power taken away for a significant period of time, but to be frank, if I was in the kind of position to determine what's to be done, I'd mandate that all power companies in my country pull their collective plugs regardless of citizen complaints, and deal with the consequences of a disgruntled populace later. It's for their own good, after all, to prevent a much more dire fate that would no doubt lead to societal collapse.

      There was also an event that year that almost happened that would have caused a mega tsunami event. An asteroid broke apart and was slated to hit a fault line in the sea that was predicted to cause a certain volcanic island to erupt in turn causing a piece of its land mass to fall into the sea in turn causing a larger displacement wave in turn devastating much of the world's economy.
      Thankfully, the rotation of the earth is actually not fixed. Earthquakes can cause slight changes to the length of a day, extremely slight, but enough to throw off calculations like this such that the fault line wasn't impacted as predicted and the mega tsunami never happened.
      That being said, volcano is passed due for another eruption. The last time it erupted a Chasm formed oh, but the islands didn't fall into the sea. Next time it erupts it might fall into the sea. Or it might not. We don't really know exactly when that will happen.
      still, imagine if we got hit with a solar storm this year while all this other stuff is going on and then while people are dealing with a shut down power grid and are unable to receive Communications a mega tsunami wave hits destroying the entire east coast of the United States and the entire west coast of Europe. not saying that's likely, in fact it's extremely unlikely, but it would be a very bad day.

    Solar storms or hurricanes are exactly what I answered when someone asked me how I think 2020 could get even worse.
    Easy, the amount of sh*t we have to deal with this year isn't even the tip of the ice berg, compared to what is theoretically possible. Life could be much, much, MUCH worse than that.
    So, instead of complaining, we should be thankful that 2020 isn't the worst year possible.
