So as some of ya'll know by now I am a daily visitor to spaceweather.com and it has helped a good bit in my research. One thing I have noticed is that over the past few months of increased solar activity it seems to follow almost a pattern of sorts. It will rise above 100 sunspots with an increase of high scale C and M class flares and stay that way for a bit. Then it will drop below 100 as the old sunspots decay and go back to B to low scale C class flares. My point to this is it fluctuates all the time, and is pretty interesting to watch. I was just thinking earlier about how it has been claimed the sun is "building-up" energy or it is implied by certain proponents. Obviously just from watching the constant fluctuation in activity, it is simple to see that that is not true. Make me wonder even more about the claimed "killer solar flare". Where is it going to get its energy from? The sun obviously isn't building up as I just pointed out, it is constantly letting off energy through the constant solar flare activity. I think that is where PG was going with the "quiet sun until 2012, and then it will erupt in 1000 sunspots" claim. The whole idea seems to be that the sun would stay quiet while building-up energy and then releasing all that energy at once in the form of some huge flare. This was probably proclaimed back when the sun was following that spotless trend and in a quiet state, and was probably thought of as a safe thing to say. Obviously as I have pointed out numerous times, just the past few months blow that whole claim out of the water and the more I think about it as I look at spaceweather.com at the fluctuating of sunspots and flares, the more I realize that that also goes against the claims. Just something interesting I have noticed and was thinking about.
