Hi folks,   Just a heads up that we have confirmed an Inbound Coronal Mass Ejection from the sun.   It is headed right for us and is on target to hit on Jan 11.

 

It would be a good idea to have extra batteries and supplies in case of extended electrical disturbances.  This may also cause increased earthquake activity, so be prepared accordingly.

 

I am not certain what magnitude the flare is yet,  but it's trajectory has been confirmed on LASCO c2 on the SOHO observatory.

No problem, Little P will form a committee to address the situation.

Boom... That was fast.

I wasn't sure <deleted> you were talking about. I thought it was about this.

There is no statistical basis for this claim. No evidence that there are any more or any fewer earthquakes related to the Sun's activity.

Well,  Until the last 15 years or so,  there was little evidence.   Now that we have effective equipment to measure the energy emitted by our sun,  as well as cosmic energy sources, in addition to effective technology to monitor our planet's magnetopause and measure the energy being received inside the protected and sheilded areas,   we do have strong corelating evidence that the absorbed cosmic energy into our planet is a chief driving force in techtonic activity.   

 

So much so,  that earthquake's are predictable and their locations are as well.   As energy is absorbed by our planet,  quake locations and approximate times are able to be predicted.   You can follow the energy between fulcrums of motion and see it propagate from the S Pacific,  up through Japan,  to the Aleutian iS,  and then down through the West US coast and into the Interior by Oklahoma along the edge of the Craton.

 

 

 

This is a newer science.   It is pretty exciting stuff.

 

 

Here is how to predict an earthquake.   

 

Here is some information on how to forcast techtonic activity.   Scientists have now figured out that very large earthquakes are PRECEDED by swarms of smaller quakes.... first the swarms... then the big events follow shortly after nearby the swarm location! Read more about it here: https://phys.org/news/2019-08-scienti...

 

Researchers have turned LIQUID METAL into Plasma! This has huge implications on the mantle, and core of the Earth. Read more about the discovery here: https://phys.org/news/2019-03liquid-...

 

Earthquakes can systematically trigger other events on opposite side of Earth - antipodes: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...

This evidence is what exactly? Please point me to all this 'eciting stuff'.

 

Feel free to explain the absence of any correlation whatsover in the time plot of earthquake and solar activity.

You are obviously sceptical, believe him - there is a lot of new information out there if you are truly interested sure you will be able to find it yourself ???? 

When I read the title, I was thinking that this post should be in the health section ..... and then I read more. ????

 here is how to predict techtonic activity.

 

It is pretty fascinating stuff and is a very new science.

 

So,  Yeah.

It's OK .. I have rid myself of it earlier this morning after my coffee.

 

Feelin much better now, thanks for your concern. ????

I think you are getting things confused,   The energy that is chiefly responsible or techtonic activity is most absorbed during solar mInimums (When sunspots and flares are at their lowest)   This is because our Magnetopause shielding is most active when we are recipient of the flares and sunspot energy.

 

When we are in a solar minimum (as we are now) our magnetopause is pretty much non existant,  so we absorb solar energies EM and Cosmic energy (Gamma and Particles) that are normally bounced off our more robust shields.

 

The bottom line is that all of that energy causes motion.

What gobbledegook!

 

The plot is quite specific it's a timeline plotting earthquake occurrences and their magnitude in red and solar flares and magnitude in blue. If there was any correlation between the two then it would be obvious, and clearly there is none. 

Let's hope it hits the earth at night

Its  ok I  only go  out at  night

Science isn't a matter of belief, give me the data and I'll analyse and draw my own conclusions.

The data says it is a waste of time to argue with an idiot. 

 

Science is absolutely a matter of belief. Just ask Copernicus.

 

It would be interesting though WWW break down, no iphone, no facebook, mass panic, everything stops, even our money transfers, WHAT ! AAHHH.

Oh please! That just tells me you have no argument, there is clearly zero correlation.

yeah well till the USGS tells me whats up, Ill just ramble on and ignore You Tube cranks with 3000 views.

 

Oh yes, Im sorry, those views are from the initiates, my bad.

 

Heres todays truth: We are all gonna die, either screaming as we are crushed by a collapsing building or fried on a cellular level by neutrinos or bleeding out from a car wreck or with tubes in us as our own bodies eat ourselves away, so enjoy a fine lunch and quit watching the skies.

And also from the USGS:

 

"Solar flares and magnetic storms belong to a set of phenomena known collectively as "space weather". Technological systems and the activities of modern civilization can be affected by changing space-weather conditions. However, it has never been demonstrated that there is a causal relationship between space weather and earthquakes."

https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/do-solar-flares-or-magnetic-storms-space-weather-cause-earthquakes?

 

So thanks very much for the advice, but I'm not rushing off to join the "Great Stampede For Batteries" of 2020.

 

 

 

 

The USGS consults with the guy that does the quake forecasting.    This is new information and a new science.    They are  (the USGS) are coming up to speed,   but like all governmental agencies has only the mindset of keeping their jobs their funding,  and maintaining the status Quo.

 

They do not want to present controversial notions and are very slow to update outdated and incomplete data, let alone to embrace new sciences and their applications.

 

Anybody at the USGS  that presents controversial or new information is at risk of losing their job and their departments defunded.

 

This is like weather prediction:   There have been updates to the science in the last 100 years or so,  and the tools and science employed, as well as the ability to accurately forecast have changed dramatically.

Astonishing that the number is so small. Fun conspiracies usually attract more folks than a Grassy Knoll.
