In the link:
The potent blast from the Sun unleashed a firestorm of radiation on a level not witnessed since 2006
5 years without any solar storm like the one we had in 2006. It seems normal to me. ;-)
I ask you, Awesomeee, are you worried about this solar storm or only 'confused'?
Welcome to the wonderful world of solar cycles. The sun is currently ramping up toward maximum, as tomy points out, an eruption like this has not been witnessed since 2006, and although that may seem unusual, it isn't. In fact, this sort of thing is completely normal heading toward solar maximum. There is only a 25% chance of geomagnetic disruption, which basically means there's a slight chance it could interact with our magnetic field. If it causes any power disruption (which in itself is pretty unlikely) it will almost certainly be in high latitude areas and be very localised.
You can get more info on this eruption here.
The great thing about science is, it's true whether you believe in it or not.
The above is a link to a movie of the flare, spectacular looking.
MAGNIFICENT FLARE: On June 7th at 0641 UT, magnetic fields above sunspot complex 1226-1227 became unstable and erupted. The resulting blast produced an M2-class solar flare, an S1-class radiation storm, and an unbelievable movie:
"It looks like someone kicked a clod of dirt in the air," says solar physicist C. Alex Young of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in a Youtube video. "I've never seen material released in this way before, an amazing, amazing event."
Much of the plasma thrown up by the blast simply fell back to the sun, indeed, that's what makes the footage so dramatic. In the movies you can see blobs of hot gas as large as Earth making bright splashes where they hit the stellar surface. Some plasma, however, reached escape velocity and left the sun in the form of a coronal mass ejection: movie. Traveling faster than 1100 km/s, the CME should deliver a glancing blow to Earth's magnetic field during the late hours of June 8th or June 9th. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras when the CME arrives.
I LOVE www.spaceweather.com and the information it provides. Why didn't PG predict this one?!?! :-| Lol

Give him some credit Diesel, he was only just under two months off. Ok, that was a little sarcasm, but I guess the obvious answer is he's an idiot!!!!

Of course, he also missed the last M class "biggest since years ago" that we had a few months ago as well.

It was actually a class X solar flare. Anyways, Geryls probably hiding in a bunker after hearing of this latest eruption.

No he isnt, he said in an interview he wouldnt be going in a bunker or anything him self. He said he would stand on the top of the world, looking out for his boat of survivors, as they sail towards the sunset! ……. *giggle*

Oh, he's a poet! :-D
I dont know, i have a really hard time understanding anything he says!
But none the less, for me the fact that he wont even try to avoid the apocalypse him self, proves that he doesnt believe it.

No guys I know this does not mean anything :P just wonna here you'r thoughts

No, Awesomeee, we already said what we think. Now I ask you, what do you think?
What you thought is what I thought , I just wanted to hear what you guys thought and Im glad we know the right stuff (science) All hail spaceweather :D

Gotta source for that? Not saying I don't believe you, I just would like to read it myself.

Im pretty sure he said it both in the huge BBC documentary and in the Penn & Teller show.
(The boat and sunset part was my idea, but it's pretty much what i got, behind his weird accent.)
- “I fear one day I'll meet God, he'll sneeze and I won't know what to say.”
From what ive read , the sun was very un-active and theyre saying its slowly going back to its Average state.

Funny you poeple actually claim to KNOW something not possible, but cant do more then provide one-line dismissals of other poeples ideas, or of actual science data. either your lazy or hacks or both.

The process of transformation of ULF (Alfven) waves to higher-frequency VLF whistler waves in magnetospheric plasma under conditions of double resonance interaction of the waves with high-energy protons or inner radiation belt of the earth is examined. Our theoretical considerations and numerical estimates show that this process is most intensive in the equatorial part of the magnetosphere. For L equal to or less than 2, ULF waves with 1 + 5 Hz may transform to VLF (0.5 + 10 Hz) waves in several hours. This process can be the cause of a specific VLF radiation arising in the course of penetration of Alfven waves into the near-earth plasma over earthquake epicenters.

Nothing worse then a 'church' who doesnt read thier own bible (in this case science) . preach on oh great prophets of safety, the world is great and gods in his heaven or at least running a website
remember to quote a few scienctific principles so others will believe the rest of the crapt your peddling.
but if someone comes along and shows you REAL science, done by experts in thier field, RUN cause your ignorance might show.
THE CHURCH OF DENIALISTS (hey thats catchy). deny everything, demand proof and run when you see it.
What bearing does a 1993 paper have on the 2012 phenomenon, might I ask?
May wanna figure out why other planets with magnetic fields aren't tectonically active. And why after 4 billion years, your claims seem to leave no trace of evidence. I think I will trust the geologists, particle physicists, solar physicists, astronomers, and astrobiologists when it comes to this stuff. They don't seem to be worried.
Oh, and no we aren't lazy. It has just been answered before. There is a search function.
To his credit, it doesn't appear to have been discussed elsewhere, at least not in this form.
If you follow the various papers on the subject though, it's not as clear cut as Ryan might think it is, where the authors deem it something to explore to see if there is indeed a link, rather than flat out stating 'here is how the word works'.
We do however go back to the point I made before, what relevance does it have to 2012? Far as I can see, absolutely nothing. The papers do not address the end of the world, they do not claim that large scale global events will happen under certain situations, and I think I recall seeing a probability/accuracy of 15-20%, and only for earthquakes of certain sizes, so to say it's a certainty would be wrong, and those are figures after more than a decade of study.
If there's a clear link, there's a clear link, science is advanced. If there's no clear link, science is advanced in knowing where not to look. Above all, to stress the point, I fail to see why this needs to be discussed on a 2012 forum.
agreed elliot, I added those so poeple can see that its a serious avenue of research by some of the brightest minds in this country. and that and JuJu is a knee-jerk denialist with little understanding of science, whos only contribution to this site seems to be to make himself laugh.
and also to show the use of the word 'impossible' is an irresponsible exercise is denial.
To say improbable is one thing, it shows an open-mindedness to the possibility of something, to say its impossible places you in the position of Proving it, just as someone saying its absolutely going to happen must also prove it.
I simply sought to find if earthquakes could be caused by solar events, perhaps leading to a way of predicting some of them. Im glad NASA is doing the legwork, means I can table the discussion in that area until there findings are released.
sorry elliot i didnt mean to make it sound like a foregone conclusion.
As to the plates on other planets with a megnetosphere, alot of other factors need to be present for the whole reaction. an atmosphere( of a certain range), an active core, angle of the axis of the planet,presence of certain particles, ect ect. Some planets are affected more some less. Its a difficult thing to see or even record planetquakes (earthquakes) on other worlds, so theres that too.
theres also distance from the event to consider. Venus often gets racked by solar events that would barely phase us.
May wanna figure out why other planets with magnetic fields aren't tectonically active.
A pertinent point.
