In 2012 predicts strong solar storms

A report released by NASA anticipates strong solar storms in 2012, which may involve a cascade of all communications systems in the world. The doomsday theorists find evidence for their ideas.  A recent report (a dossier of 145 pages) prepared for the NASA and ESA through the National Academy of Sciences USA confirms some of the apocalyptic predictions for 2012. The report says he expects for 2012 a solar storm that could destroy all living systems on Earth. 

The theme of a large-scale solar storm to affect the entire planet has made some NASA scientists begin to believe the prophecies of the Maya and the Hopi Indians of the end of an era for 2012. These people predicted the end of the Fifth Age (now) with a cosmic tragedy. And NASA said as published by the National Academy of Sciences, which is a concern this news. This issue specifically addresses the potential risks of a series of catastrophic events that happen throughout 2012. These events are characterized by the bombardment of solar storms real and swarms of an asteroid.

According to conspiracy theories, this is what led to the idea of ​​collecting seeds that remain on the island of Svalbard. The tunnel was built to Svalbard is situated halfway between Norway and the North Pole, and has the capacity to hold 4.5 million different seed samples. Since each sample contains 500 seeds on average, about 2.25 million seeds can be contained. 

They are located in the Arctic region of storage in the case of a future catastrophe that could eliminate food crops. The position has been carefully chosen after a consultation with several scientists, in order to provide maximum protection to the seeds. It has built an underground tunnel 120 meters inside a mountain at a height of 130 meters above sea level in the permafrost, so that samples remain frozen even without electricity, as said expert astrophysicist threats Jacob Van der space and Marshall Masters Warp expert on space rock and the climate crisis of 2012. 

"In 2012 there is the threat of the reappearance of a powerful magnetic phenomenon will result in the loss of communications around the globe," says Marshall 

The news makes my hair stand on end, first, all communication is lost, we must forget about the network (wireless of course), by phone, via Bluetooth, via satellite. The alarming consequences of the scenario painted by NASA in 2012 threatening, in fact, the daily life of all and the national security of any country, even with minimal telecommunications system. 

This situation will occur in the so-called "active phase", which crosses the Sun every 11 years during this period, our stars can generate magnetic storms more or less powerful, capable, according to the greater or lesser extent, left out of use of satellites is also a threat to the safety of astronauts or, in exceptional cases as provided for 2012, representing the destruction of telecommunication systems and power distribution. 

When these systems do fall and cascade other side jump quickly bring very serious consequences: "The impact of the storm could fall on networking structures, with devastating effects: the distribution of potable water will be quite impossible in a few hours, will lose foods that are in camera in the space between 12 and 24 hours, transport Meiosis also be affected, "envisions Jacob 

But what is worse, write the researchers, led by Daniel Baker, director of the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado, is that "the emergency services could be disrupted and lost control over the country." 

The only way to minimize problems is to maintain continuous observation of the Sun, monitor and study in detail magnetic storms, and speak in terms of technology to strengthen infrastructure for communications. 

"A catastrophic failure of the infrastructure and government, both in space and on Earth, can be mitigated by increasing the preparation of the people on these issues, strengthening vulnerable developing structures in anticipation of solar storms "said Baker concluding the investigation," No action or without plans for prevention, greater reliance on advanced technology, but sensitive to the phenomena of space can make our society very vulnerable in the future and send to the Middle Ages.

What is a solar storm? 

A geomagnetic storm is a temporary disruption of the Earth's magnetosphere. Associated with a coronal mass ejection (CME), a coronal hole or a solar flare is a shock wave incoming solar wind between 24 and 36 hours after the event. This only happens if the shock wave travels toward Earth. The solar wind pressure on the magnetosphere will increase or decrease depending on solar activity. The solar wind pressure changes the electrical currents in the ionosphere. Magnetic storms last 24 to 48 hours, but can last for several days. 

The stages of a solar storm are three: Eruption solar radiation storm and CME (coronal mass ejection) 

- Solar Flare: The first stage, which can break communications. It takes 8 min. to arrive. In addition, it makes the atmosphere increases its size to the orbits of the satellites, altering their orbits and have these fall to the ground. 

- Radiation Storm: This is a "bombardment" of radiation from the Earth. This can fry the circuits and attack people. On Earth we are protected by the combined effects of the Atmosphere and Magnetosphere. Because of this, only affects astronauts are not safe. 

- CME: The most dangerous wave, damaging satellites and electrical transformers in the world by passing electricity. Damaged communications worldwide. Has magnetic field: if it is oriented to the north, bounce harmlessly into the magnetosphere, if it is oriented to the south would cause a global catastrophe for the damage it would cause.
