Will Geomagnetic Reversal Effects Cause a Worldwide Blackout?

Admin, , ,

Geomagnetic reversal effects are natural and spectacular, but they could also destroy the world as we know it. ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED BY NORTHROP GRUMAN While that may sound dramatic, renowned science journalist Alanna Mitchell’s book “The Spinning Magnet“ revealed that the next time Earth’s magnetic field flips, it could seriously damage the electric infrastructure that defines our modern civilization. What is an Electromagnetic Field? While magnetism is fascinating, it has also been historically misunderstood. According to Physics.org, Earth’s magnetic field exists because the planet’s solid iron core is surrounded by liquid metal. According…

Solar storms could cause power disruptions

Admin, ,

A rare solar flare erupted from the sun on December 28 and is headed toward Earth at millions of miles per hour. The storm could create problems with technology while putting on an atmospheric show for some. Scientists are on watch for the G3 level geomagnetic storm which is expected to hit Earth Wednesday and last through New Year’s Eve. “The G3 is level three on a scale of one to six of geomagnetic activity,” said Terry Onsager, a physicist with the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center. “That’s a measure…

400 Chernobyls: Solar Flares, EMP, and Nuclear Armageddon

Admin, ,

There are nearly 450 nuclear reactors in the world, with hundreds more either under construction or in the planning stages. There are 104 of these reactors in the USA and 195 in Europe. Imagine what havoc it would wreak on our civilization and the planet’s ecosystems if we were to suddenly witness not just one or two nuclear melt-downs but 400 or more! How likely is it that our world might experience an event that could ultimately cause hundreds of reactors to fail and melt down at approximately the same…
