I found this interesting:-


Dec. 16, 2008: NASA's five THEMIS spacecraft have discovered a breach in Earth's magnetic field ten times larger than anything previously thought to exist. Solar wind can flow in through the opening to "load up" the magnetosphere for powerful geomagnetic storms. But the breach itself is not the biggest surprise. Researchers are even more amazed at the strange and unexpected way it forms, overturning long-held ideas of space physics.

This "Magnetic Portals links Sun to Earth" is also interesing.

I don't get it. What does this mean for the continued existance of life as we know it?

so what does this mean santa claus is going to be without electricity this x-mas season?..lol...big storms in the north pole...lol..Im lost

yes very confused with what the result to us would be

That it will continue?

Scientific understanding does not always pertain to the end of the world. It isn't like the only newsworthy science is about giant asteroids hitting the earth...

Will it change your burger to a Burger King burger...?

I love burger king burgers!

really interesting post Bic!!

Isnt the magnetic field what keeps solar storms and space radiation from fvcking our shit up?

interesting, i love astrophysics

Hello!

Eventually, we're screwed.

I knew we were gonna die a horrible death....and in this economy tool.....where's my pills...........lol

The end is nigh!

Repent! Repent!

Yep thats correct, and also causes the Aurora Borealis/Australis (northern / Southern lights).

This could be one cool aspect of having a gap somewhere, an epic light show. The only negative aspect could be the radiation poisoning, and people turning into the Hulk due to the Gamma radiation.

Heres how the Magnetic Field protects us and creates the Northern lights.

Why would people turning into the hulk be a negative?

Ronald McDonald has just been dispatched to find and rape you, with extreme prejudice. Though you're 100% correct, McBurgers are the shittiest of the shit-burgers.

Pretty awesome. Cheers.

That's been the case for thousands of years. Just smile and go with it.

very nice...i think it's more of a case of them just discovering it than it just opening up recently though.

i think it's something to monitor over the course of the solar cycle to see if it changes between solar max and solar min...i think we're just past solar minimum (it's an 11 year cycle and the last max was 3 years ago) if i remember correctly.

ROFLMAO

Oh yeah, i forgot, with Solar storms. We're also looking at the possibility of an electromagnetic pulse that could systematically scramble and shut down all electronic devices. They also influence, weather and volcanic activity...,lol.

but, the aliens were also supposed to have made first contact back on oct 14th, so..

so santa is going to be without electricity

Heh. Dont worry: The motherf***a has tonnes of batteries.

Thats why none came with toys we got at christmas, I bet.
That hoarding sumbich.
