Have you heard about the up and coming Solar Pulse? The fact that we are expecting a major ’space storm’ tomorrow the through the weekend?
Once in a while–exactly when scientists still cannot predict–an event occurs on the surface of the Sun that releases a tremendous amount of energy in the form of a solar flare or a coronal mass ejection, an explosive burst of very hot, electrified gases with a mass that can surpass that of Mount Everest. [SOURCE]
Apparently, the magnetic force of such a storm can disrupt electrical grids, cellular/pager/wireless services, TV signals, GPS signals, etc, etc . . .
This type of thing happened back in 1859 and it took out their telegraph systems. I wonder what, if anything, tomorrows space storm will bring?

Interesting stuff!
Sounds like we’re very similar in this...

Just as interesting as solar flares is the solar pulse, which scientists have yet to understand; however, I have calculated it to demonstrate that I understand it. Check it and much more interesting revolutionary science in the Schriefer Unified Theory at entropulse.com. Thanks.
