The sun in 2058

The sun in 2058

So i talked to a friend who said he had read a article on a swedish news site that talked about real threats too earth, instead of this 2012 poppycock. And he mentioned that he read something about something happening to the sun in 2058.

These were his words: "Well a scientist said something about implosion or explosion… Sunstorms or something I think."

Personally i thought that the article talked about nutjobs trying to predict the end of the world. So i did a google search with "2058 doomsday/end of the world" and found nothing except for people talking about global warming.

I'm just curious, can anyone else find anything on this? Probably not… XD

The sun has sunstorms all the time. But earth also has an atmosphere. But in reality sun storm activity can only impact satellites and communication equpiment.

Sunstorms occur every 11 years. This is something we need to work around and be prepared for if it does disrupt communications. Perhaps shutting down communications temporarily to prevent damage done. But to think that this activity would cause "doomsday" is silly and has no basis in reality. We had a solar maximum back in 2000.

There won't be a doomsday in 2058 anymore than there was one a week ago… meaning not at all.
