How to flash freeze a woolly mammoth, and other galactic superwaves
How to flash freeze a woolly mammoth: Waft a sufficiently strong magnetic field over it, to deaden it, and then freeze it at your leisure.
How to flash erupt a normally quiet star into a micronova: Waft a sufficiently strong magnetic field over it.
Stars, and woolly mammoth, are deeply electrical critters. That is, the "interesting" activity of both involves charged particles, moving about, in complex structures. Most of the physical universe is made of plasmas - flows of electrically positive and of electrically negative particles. That which makes a pile of inert matter a "living being" involves, at one basic level, the flows of charged particles, (very) elaborately organized by such complex structures as biologists study under microscopes and geneticists study the DNA blueprints and internal cellular factories thereof.
That which sends a piece of straw into the wood of a tree during a tornado, as if Big John had hammered a spike into the tree, is fundamentally an electromagnetic phenomenon, not a "strong wind" phenomenon.
Perhaps inside caves in granite mountains, external magnetic fields are muted. Do compasses work well, inside NORAD Cheyenne Mountain Complex?
Salt is essential to life of mammals, birds and fishes. It dissolves in water into positive sodium ions (the sodium atom minus the one lonely electron in its outer shell) and negative chlorine ions (the chlorine atom with the one remaining empty orbit in the outer shell of its electrons filled with an extra electron.
Pure neutral sodium is pretty much useless as a construction metal, as it burns too easily. Pure neutral chlorine is a highly toxic gas. This is because both of these materials, in their electrically neutral form, with as many electrons as protons, are, while electrically neutral, chemically hyper-reactive, having a single electron, or a single electron "hole", in their outer shells. Small atoms with single electrons or electron holes in their outer shell chemically bind strongly and quickly to their opposites.
Sodium and chlorine ions however are electrically active, having a positive or negative charge respectively, but chemically inert. They have electrical charge, so create and respond to electromagnetic fields as they move, however their outer electron shell is fully populated, making them as chemically inert as the noble gases. They are essential to forming the (very) complex electrical activity of "higher" beings, such as fish, birds, and mammals.
If a sufficiently strong galactic magnetic field wafts through our nice quiet little solar system, then it might not be some high winds or massive freezing or lightning bolts of Zeus from the sky or hundred mile high tsunami that gets most of us. We who "draw the short straw", who happen to be in the "wrong place at the wrong time" on or above or near the earth's surface, outside of an essentially protective magnetic shield (such as the caves in the Colorado mountains?) might never know what hit us. Our "knowing" is at one level an electromagnetic activity. It might cease in the half completed blink of an eye.
Massive stone structures would survive such a "storm". The bodies of already dead plants and animals would remain largely unaffected.
Perhaps the moon is a giant hollow magnetic shield, to be used by earthly civilizations every 12,000 years, like underground tornado shelters are used here in the mid-west of the United States, only for a "much bigger" "tornado", a galactic (or larger) magnetic "superwave".
Paul LaViolette's "superwave" does not travel at light speed from our galactic core. It travels at the speed of moving charged matter, for it is an electromagnetic phenomenon manifest in the motion of the charged particles, the plasmas, that make up most of the universe, and that are the essence of the "stuff of life", at some basic level.
It may be that the Rothschild's are just "someone's banker". It may be that when those "someone's" call the Rothschild's, they take the call, right then, even if they are meeting with a Queen or Pope or Prime Minister.
If I were one of those "someone's", and if I knew that the time was soon for such a galactic super electromagnetic "wave" of the plasma and electrically active living matter to pass through our little corner of the galaxy, I'd be hell bent on getting my tools, technologies, ancient knowledge and genetics, along with some food, water, and medications, stored away, to survive the storm. For example, I might be making "seed banks", underneath and within carefully selected stone caves, and I might be flying to the moon and nearby planets, where there were other chances of shelter and survival. The life and times of seven billion humans might mean little more to me than the life of a thousand cattle, awaiting their turn at a slaughter house to become McDonald's Big Macs(R). It might be well beyond my powers to do much for all those beings anyway.
Fear not if you are a bird in flight when such a wave hits. You will hit the ground with all the awareness of a pebble, tossed in the air by a playful child.

The Pythonic Cow returns! Welcome back!
Did you watch Suspicious Observers YouTube vid on this topic posted yesterday. Certainly makes for depressing viewing if it should come to pass as predicted. You can see why the leaders of every country seem to be throwing caution and sanity to the wind if this is the narrative they’ve been sold on behind the scenes.

Welcome back, and thanks for this post. My thread was pretty much about the same thing. I accepted the premise of a micro nova/pole flip/supper wave but was also wondering how does the Great Reset fit into all this. I was just thinking this morning that since they were so in our faces (all the web cites with their plans were in plain site) that perhaps this whole thing is to give us something to talk about, keep the sheep busy. We are fighting the left/right paradigm and trying to survive their bio weapon while they rap up their survival plans. They already covered the weather changes we will experience by calling it global warming and blamed it on humans and cows (no offense). Don't you just have to love them, I mean they are such wonderful planners and even mange to disempower and fill people with fear no matter what the agenda they are covering up.

How to flash freeze a woolly mammoth: Waft a sufficiently strong magnetic field over it, to deaden it, and then freeze it at your leisure.
The following article provides some background for my notion of using strong magnetic fields to flash freeze large masses of living tissue without destroying the cells:
Effects of Magnetic Fields on Freezing: Application to Biological Products
It's abstract begins with:
Quote:
Magnetic freezing is nowadays established as a commercial reality mainly oriented towards the food market. According to advertisements, magnetic freezing is able to generate tiny ice crystals throughout the frozen product, prevent cell destruction, and preserve the quality of fresh food intact after thawing. If all these advantages were true, magnetic freezing would represent a significant advance in freezing technology, not only for food preservation, but also for cryopreservation of biological specimens such as cells, tissues, and organs.

P.S. -- Research papers with more recent work on the use of magnetic fields in freezing food:

Re: How to flash freeze a woolly mammoth, and other galactic superwaves
Funny, some sources claim that the new galactic force field change that our solar system is entering is the trigger for the raising of consciousness on Earth, not the cause of the demise of civilization.
Another question would be that apparently, although Atlantis was destroyed by the event that ended the last ice age, caused by a comet/asteroid if you believe Graham Hancock's research, Atlantis and Lemuria were existing for tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of years before that in high tech format, atleast according to Edgar Cayce readings. The vid in the second post, which Paul seems to support, seems to indicate that this event occurs every 10k years, and being so destructive, how did atlantis survive previous similar events that happened 'every 10k years' before most recent the great flood?
Now, regarding the current cabal and their covid scamdemic, why would they bother trying to enslave humanity via bioweaponized nanotech vaccinations etc if they knew the world shortly going to be toast?

Perhaps there will be a raising of consciousness over the next ten thousand years, even as there is destruction over the next few decades.
Perhaps, as Samuel Johnson quipped: 'Depend upon it, sir, when a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully.'
Perhaps we don't know.
Perhaps we each have to appraise the situation, the risks and the opportunities, for ourselves, as best we can.

Perhaps (rather likely, I'd say) we don't know our past much better than we know our future.
Perhaps portions of civilization survived through several cycles of major cataclysms. Each time that the galactic wave rolled past us, I'd guess that some spots on the earth got through with less damage.

Perhaps our "overlords" are not of one mind, nor of one over arching strategy. "they" is not singular ;).
Alternatively, imagine being the Captain of the Titanic and imagine that your objective was to ram the Titanic into an iceberg. Perhaps, just before issuing the soon to be fatal orders, you would be particularly concerned to maintain control of the passengers, in order to insure that you got a seat on one of the (insufficient in number) life boats, and were not overrun or impeded by panic'ing hoards of passengers.
Or, imagine that you knew that food and industry would be in short supply for the coming century, as the planet began to recover from the catastrophe, so you were stashing away all you could, and needed to create cover stories so that the peasants would not revolt, as they and their resources were being milked dry for the last time.
=== ===
Or, my current best guess:
Imagine that the genetic tendency to "follow the leader", to be enslavable, that had been bred into us by our perhaps now departed alien "designers", who wanted some biotic miners, smart and resourceful, but "manageable", to mine gold or whatever on this planet, has resulted in a fundamental flaw in our civilizations. Our innate tendency to be sheep has bred a fertile ground for the most sociopathic amongst us to become our "leaders".
This has created a grave weakness in our present civilization, which will result in selecting, the hard way, some of those who were (1) lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time and (2) retained sufficient free will, strong mind and independent spirit to make their way through challenging times.
As often happens, overplaying the strengths of one sort lead to a reduced ability to adapt to radical change. In such times, it is usual to see the most successful of the failing regimen double down, hard, on their failing methods, in their last gasps.

Galactic sized undulating waves of charged particles (plasma), in which this plasma travels at the ordinary speeds of matter, create powerful magnetic fields that effect and interact with all other plasmas and electrically active processes and charged matter.
This is another manifestation of the "stuff" of which our universe is made, distinct from directed beams of light/radio energy such as used in microwave ovens.
Playing with magnets is different from playing with the beam from a flashlight.

Re: How to flash freeze a woolly mammoth, and other galactic superwaves
Perhaps I'm starting to feel this Electromagnet effect.
As the summer gains heat I don't start feeling hot, just dizzy :(
I feel like I'm being over loaded by energy that I can't tap in to or dissipate.
Or I guess it could just be the effects of my Hi Blood pressure :( lol
Very interesting article Paul

Maybe this is the raising of consciousness, raising it up out from the material to the Higher self 0.o
With so much consciousness being stuck in distracted material bodies here on Earth, so much consciousness being distracted and diluted by material concerns, it's hard sometime to see our human state progress upwards.

Re: How to flash freeze a woolly mammoth, and other galactic superwaves
- The Strange DNA of the last Mammoths:
10,000 years ago the last mammoths to walk the earth were trapped on Wrangel island, northern Siberia. New genetic insights reveals, how many were trapped, how their population grew and perhaps even how they became extinct. I chatted to geneticst Marianne Dehasque about her fascinating research into the dna of the last mammoths.

Re: How to flash freeze a woolly mammoth, and other galactic superwaves
Just saw this little video of a live woolly mammoth on Telegram.
WW2 time frame, no idea if its fake..

Re: How to flash freeze a woolly mammoth, and other galactic superwaves
Almost certainly fake. Film grain looks like a filter (inserted post-processing), and the camera's too steady for a 1940's hand held. Also, I've never heard of mammoths still existing in the wild. I keep an ear tuned to cryptid scuttlebutt, and in that part of the world there are plenty of Yeti reports, but no mammoths (that I'm aware of). It is my strong conviction that mammoths are extinct, and unless science can bring them back they will remain extinct.

Re: How to flash freeze a woolly mammoth, and other galactic superwaves
Yeah ,
There are quite a few convincingly old looking pics and vids on the net since the arrival of AI.
Generally if I havent seen it before 2023, I assume its fake first.
Anyhow😁 lovely to see a moving mammoth innit..

I have heard of one or two apparent mammoth sightings in Siberia, and (I think from distant memory) in Northern Thailand as well — but no film or photos that I'm aware of.
One of the survival problems would be that it they're indeed there but very very rare, they're likely to become extinct anyway because the size of the 'breeding herd' would just not be sufficient to keep them all alive as a species.

Re: How to flash freeze a woolly mammoth, and other galactic superwaves
Hi Mr. Cow /Py OP. Interesting thread, especially the idea of fluxing mag fields affecting ice nucleation.
I walked through to the current end of thread, Bill’s post #19, and am happy that the title topic has been returned to. Special thanks to Exo for bumping the thread.
But about the nature or cause of this apparently-12k cyclic conflagration, if magnetic overload is involved, my take is that it comes from our star. Idea comes from Ben D. at S0, says that plasma riding the undulating galactic ~equatorial magnetic emanation, periodically crosses our solar system and the main effect is loading Sol with masses of ionic ‘dust’.
So, if the our-Sun’s big sneeze micro nova lasts only part of our day, only some longitudes would get blasted. That may be why ATL and LEM got through so long. Blind luck. Or maybe they could instigate the exact timing, knowing they’d be in night when the thing hit. And then the last event caught up to them, because empire in decline?
I kind of identify with these big critters. I am sure that they are alive somewhere right now, on some planet somewhere at least. Otherwise, in the endless ether that is life.

The likely scenario is more complex, in several ways.
Tom Luongo (whose specialties are in other areas, such as financial) interviewed Ben Davidson last week, and ended up getting an excellent overview of the various ways this 12,000 year cyclic reversal of our solar system's magnetic field will effect us. This is far more complex and challenging than a few hour physical blast to one side of the earth from the sun ... far more.Some of Ben's best explanations of this unfolding event are later in this interview.

Thank you Paul, for this audio podcast interview of Ben. Am familiar with his arguments about impending geomagnetic-related hazards, and about his idea of ~90 degree slippage/flopping of the Crust and subsequent reversal of said flip/slip.
On the former, I am aware of the whole-Earth (dark side too) effect of big CMEs. He didn’t talk here about (what he’s said in his own productions) actual mass striking us that was thrown off in the micronova event. Disclaimer: I do not clearly remember any time scale for this mass-aspect of the ‘event’, but my impression remains that Sun-facing-or-not matters.
My take on the latter, the flipping, is “hogwash”. I see too many problems with that, and absolutely no reason for it.
The last half hour was much more interesting, starting with the host telling his story, then Ben going off-topic.
I have been wary of Ben, suspicious even, lol, for a while now. Here again, in that last half hour, he pegged my BS-meter with his (familiar) talk of clearing up character flaws. Guy has so much attitude in his live streams, even when the title includes “salt-free”, he is a prime candidate for the kind of spoofing the Hitler-rage scene of that (dunno title) movie gets.
I took more positive than negative from this. Cheers.

I agreed with that "hogwash" view, for most of my life.
There are many variations on the flipping narrative, and even now I agree that most are hogwash.
If one sticks to the "modern" physics/astronomy view that the predominate force in play at large distances is Einstein's gravity, then every f'n flippin narrative I've heard is hogwash.
But if one flips to a predominately aether and electromagnetic based physics, at all scales, and if one considers all the evidence of shifts back and forth about 90 degrees, every 12,000 years, of the earth's crust (not of its core), then all of a sudden (over a decade or two for me) it gets very real.
If one is living, thinking, intuiting, ... primarily at or below the essentially physical level, then yes, that's negative (none of us are suicidal, or if we are, that's negative in and of itself) and good grounds for rejecting that possibility, at least until reality smacks one upside the head harder than one can ignore.
If one is also having fun at some higher level (what some of those I know might call 5th or 6th dimension, which annoys the heck out of the geometrician in me or what some others I have known, including my mother, sister, and son call a Christian spiritual level, which hasn't made sense to me since I unceremoniously and without notice even to myself "left the Church" some moment when I was ten years old) ... then from that higher level it's all quite intriguing and one of my main motivations in life is keeping this now old carcass of mine alive and well as long as I can into the climax of this 12,000 year cycle, that I might continue observing and figuring out how it (our universe) all works and that I might continue providing a wee bit of support and insight to those around me who are having trouble understanding and adapting to the dramatic changes coming our way, with increasing intensity and variety.
None of us are getting out of here alive, and none of us who live long enough into the (now quite few) coming years are getting out of here without being shocked and altered to our core, whatever that core might be, unless we die first, at least in our present form.
For someone whose life has been, and continues to be, focused on "figuring sh*t out", it's an awesome time to be alive ... a whole lot of stuff to figure out ... like a glutton who accidentally pushed the button on his time capsule that landed him smack back into the "Guest of Honor" chair at some ancient king's biggest annual banquet, when the harvest that year overflowed all the baskets and barns.

Let me clarify - I expect the earth's crust to physically shift about 90 degrees, while the earth's magnetic field, such as detected using a compass, flips about 180 degrees.
This view presumes that the earth's crust can, and does about every 12,000 years, become separated from the earth's core, sending (as a result of gravitational forces) the heaviest points on the crust (which will be the poles where ice has built up over the previous 12,000 years) to the rotational equator of the earth's dominant mass, its core (all but its thin crust, and perhaps inner solid core).
This view also presumes that the earth's core is predominantly molten ferromagnetic, hence reflects the magnetic field imposed on it, in our case from the solar system, and in turn from our galaxy. If there is a solid inner core to the earth that, since it's solid and contains iron and likely solidified while in a magnetic field, is a permanent magnet, then that core might well flip 180 degrees, to align with the new, inverted field of the solar system, in the region of the galaxy we are re-entering. I doubt I'll notice any such inner core flipping; life on the surface will have far more dramatic distractions at that time.

That was a perfectly timed and placed response, meat suit.
I had in mind that very Dzhanibekov effect to which you refer and link, when I speculated that the earth's inner core, likely a solid, iron containing, permanent magnet, could flip 180 degrees, when the earth, along with our entire solar system, moved into a region of our galaxy with a field inverted to what it is where we are now.

Re: How to flash freeze a woolly mammoth, and other galactic superwaves
Copying this new post of mine on the Animals are Magical thread.
How do you flash-freeze a saber-tooth tiger kitten, which had no right to being in Siberia? (And I'd be VERY interested to see if the researchers might examine the contents of its stomach.)
~~~I wanted to report this here. I can't imagine a more magical animal than a saber-toothed tiger kitten. :heart:
Sadly, it's extinct - but of course the frozen DNA will be entirely intact and it has to be possible that the species could be revived, sometime in the relatively near future if not now. I've only copied part of the article... it's worth reading it all. :flower:
Saber-Toothed Kitten Mummy Found in Arctic
https://explorersweb.com/wp-content/...-642x260-1.jpg
Scientists have discovered a mummified saber-toothed kitten in the Siberian permafrost. The cold, dry conditions perfectly preserved the three-week-old cub.
https://explorersweb.com/wp-content/...721022148.jpeg
This 31,800-year-old mummy from the Late Pleistocene era is incredibly rare — a world first, even.
“For the first time in the history of paleontology, the appearance of an extinct mammal that has no analogs in the modern fauna has been studied,” wrote the authors of the new study.
The saber-toothed kitten’s limbs, torso, head, and fur are all intact. Portions of its pelvic bones, femur, and shin bones were found in the ice around the body. Excited researchers were able to see for the first time what this extinct animal actually looked like.

Re: How to flash freeze a woolly mammoth, and other galactic superwaves
Regardless of the arguments as to whether the continents will actually migrate once Earth's magnetism has diminished sufficiently and the poles have reversed, the evidence concerning the likelihood of the planet's electric grid going down is not really debatable, and the damage and chaos that can cause is severe enough in itself and could happen at any time.
If the Sun were to produce a Carrington Event sized CME now(see article below) directed at Earth, it would be catastrophic, and the closer we get to the poles reversing, the more likely that is to happen, because the more Earth's magnetism diminishes, the more vulnerable the electric grid becomes.
So an event quite a bit less powerful than the Carrington Event would have much more of an effect now.
Additionally, the Sun has recently moved into a more active cycle.
And Ben Davidson is hardly the only credible researcher who has published peer reviewed, verifiable data on the subject of the geomagnetic excursion (such data continually appears in his daily updates), he is just a lot more vocal and more willing to take flak for this kind of information that most people simply do not want to believe.
But there isn't any debate about the Carrington Event and what kind of havoc even a lesser such event could cause today, not to mention a micronova, the reality of which is also no longer up for credible debate.

On the former, I am aware of the whole-Earth (dark side too) effect of big CMEs. He didn’t talk here about (what he’s said in his own productions) actual mass striking us that was thrown off in the micronova event. Disclaimer: I do not clearly remember any time scale for this mass-aspect of the ‘event’, but my impression remains that Sun-facing-or-not matters.
My take on the latter, the flipping, is “hogwash”. I see too many problems with that, and absolutely no reason for it.
The last half hour was much more interesting, starting with the host telling his story, then Ben going off-topic.
I have been wary of Ben, suspicious even, lol, for a while now. Here again, in that last half hour, he pegged my BS-meter with his (familiar) talk of clearing up character flaws. Guy has so much attitude in his live streams, even when the title includes “salt-free”, he is a prime candidate for the kind of spoofing the Hitler-rage scene of that (dunno title) movie gets.
I took more positive than negative from this. Cheers.

What if the Carrington Event, the largest solar storm ever recorded, happened today?

"If a solar storm as big as the Carrington Event struck today, it could lead to years long power outages
In 1859, British astronomer Richard Carrington saw a blast of white light on the surface of the sun. This was the Carrington Event, as scientists now call it, and it is the largest recorded solar storm ever recorded. It was linked with extraordinary auroras — the Northern and Southern Lights — that were visible in the sky near both the poles and the equator, everywhere from Canada to Australia.The enormous solar outburst also caused electrical disruptions from Paris to Boston.
While the Carrington Event may seem like history, there are many concerns about what might happen if an event as powerful as — or even more powerful than— the Carrington Event were to strike Earth today, now that humanity is far more dependent on electricity.
On Thursday, Sept. 2, 1859, at roughly 11:18 a.m. in the town of Redhill outside London, Carrington was investigating a group of dark specks on the sun known as sunspots, when he detected what he later described as "a singular outbreak of light which lasted about five minutes."
This was the first solar flare ever seen and reported, according to a 2016 study in the journal Advances in Space Research.
Magnetic sensors at the Kew Observatory in London detected extraordinary magnetic disturbances on Earth from Aug. 28 to Sept. 7 that year, especially on Aug. 28 and Sept. 2. These coincided with what may arguably have been the most intense auroras in the past 160 years, the 2016 study noted.
"Luminous waves rolled up in quick succession as far as the zenith, some a brilliancy sufficient to cast a perceptible shadow on the ground," the Times of London reported on Sept. 6, 1859.
The colorful displays were so bright that people in Missouri could read by the atmospheric light after midnight, according to an 1859 report in the Weekly West newspaper. Gold miners in the Rocky Mountains woke up and made coffee, bacon and eggs at 1 a.m. local time, thinking the sun had risen on a cloudy morning, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
The Northern and Southern Lights usually appear near the planet's poles. However, during the Carrington Event, people witnessed the auroras all the way in the tropics, including in Cuba, Jamaica and Panama, the 2016 study noted.
Auroras were also seen in the southern hemisphere. For example, in Moreton Bay in Australia, "most of our readers saw last week, for three nights, commencing after sunset and lighting up the heavens with a gorgeous hue of red, the Southern Aurora," according to a report in the Moreton Bay Courier on Sept. 7, 1859, the 2016 study noted.
Meanwhile, telegraph lines experienced "one of the most startling as well as singular electrical phenomena," when "a superabundance of electricity in the air" enabled telegraph machines to send messages from New York to Pittsburgh without the aid of batteries, according to the Washington Star in 1859.
Sparks flew from telegraph machines in Paris, according to a report in the The Illustrated London News dated Sept. 24, 1859, and telegraph operator Frederick Royce in Washington, D.C. reported receiving "a very severe electric shock, which stunned me for an instant," The New York Times reported on Sept. 5, 1859. "An old man who was sitting facing me, and but a few feet distant, said that he saw a spark of fire jump from my forehead."
All in all, the Carrington Event affected almost half of the telegraphic stations in the United States, according to the 2016 study.
What caused the Carrington Event?
Solar flares, the largest explosive events in the solar system, are intense eruptions of plasma and radiation associated with sunspots, according to NASA. The sun unleashes solar flares when magnetic energy that builds up on our star gets suddenly released, Hugh Hudson, a solar physicist at the University of Glasgow in Scotland, wrote in a 2021 study in the journal Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics.
Solar flares are often accompanied by the release of giant bubbles of solar material, known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs). These eruptions may contain billions of tons of plasma — clouds of electrically charged particles — that can race out at millions of miles per hour, NASA noted.
Hudson's 2021 study estimated that the radiation from the Carrington flare likely carried about 4 X 10^32 ergs of energy, which is about as much as 10 billion 1-megaton nuclear bombs. He also estimated that the event's CME likely carried about 3 X 10^32 ergs of kinetic energy.
The Carrington Event triggered a geomagnetic storm on Earth, Hudson noted in his study.
The explosion likely spat out a coronal mass ejection that blasted our planet with high-speed gusts of super-heated plasma clouds, which had intense magnetic fields embedded within them. When such outbursts slam into Earth's magnetosphere — a shell around the planet that holds plasma trapped by Earth's magnetic field — this plasma can flow down the planet's magnetic field lines and smash into molecules in Earth's atmosphere, resulting in auroras.
Red and Green colors predominate in this view of the Aurora Australis photographed from the Space Shuttle Discovery (STS-39) in May 1991 at the peak of the last geomagnetic maximum. At times of peaks in solar activity, there are more geomagnetic storms and this increases the auroral activity viewed on Earth and by astronauts from orbit. (Image credit: NASA)
Solar flares can also trigger intense electrical currents in the magnetosphere, according to NOAA. These currents may in turn generate magnetic disturbances in the ground on Earth, which can produce electrical currents in long stretches of electrically conductive material, such as power lines, telecommunication cables and pipelines.
Geomagnetic storms have the potential to wreak havoc on Earth. In 1989, a geomagnetic storm blacked out the entire Canadian province of Quebec in 90 seconds, leaving 6 million customers in the dark for nine hours, according to NASA. It also damaged transformers as far away as New Jersey—including one at a nuclear power plant—and nearly took down U.S. power grids from the Eastern Seaboard to the Pacific Northwest.
Geomagnetic storms can also disrupt radio communications and GPS navigation by warping the atmosphere in ways that modify the paths of radio signals, NOAA noted. For instance, the Halloween Storm of 2003 prevented the Federal Aviation Administration from providing GPS navigational guidance for roughly 30 hours, according to a 2011 study for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Solar plasma can also heat the planet's upper atmospheric layers, making them swell and potentially drag down satellites in low Earth orbit, NOAA said.
What would a Carrington Event do today?
The world has become far more dependent on electricity than it was when the Carrington Event occurred. If a similarly powerful solar flare that was pointed at Earth — as opposed to away from our planet, where it would not have any direct consequences for our world —were to explode now, it might cause unprecedented damage.
For example, a 2013 study from British insurance giant Lloyd's of London estimated that electrical outages from a Carrington-level event might lead to up to $2.6 trillion in lost revenue for the North American power industry alone. The study also found global blackouts up to years long might occur because such an event could simultaneously damage multiple extra-high-voltage transformers that are difficult to replace. This could in turn result in major disruptions to financial markets, banking, telecommunications, business transactions, emergency and hospital services, the pumping of water and fuel and food transport.
Similarly, a 2017 study in the journal Space Weather found that in the most extreme blackout scenario, impacting 66% of the U.S. population, the daily domestic economic loss could total $41.5 billion plus an additional $7 billion loss via international supply chain disruptions. In contrast, if it only affected extreme northern states, which are home to 8% of the U.S. population, the economic loss per day could reach $6.2 billion supplemented by an international supply chain loss of $0.8 billion. (The study calculated using 2011 U.S. dollars.)
However, although the Carrington Event was powerful, "we have seen comparable events since then," Hudson told Live Science in an email. For example, two of the so-called Halloween solar flares of 2003 may have each emitted comparable amounts of radiated energy as the Carrington Event.
As such, Hudson suggested that a solar flare on the level of the Carrington Event might not pose as big a threat to humankind as some fear. Still, a Carrington Event pointed at Earth today "would have substantial impacts, mainly on human activities in space." Hudson said "We do not have much practice for such an event, because the space assets haven't been exposed to an event of this magnitude yet.” Indeed, Apollo astronauts have made their lunar excursions in the midst of solar activity — “it was on a lesser scale, but still very dangerous to unprotected humans in space," Hudson noted.
In addition, there is evidence that the sun may be capable of "superflares" that can unleash 10 times or more energy than the Carrington Event. For example, in a 2021 study in the Astrophysical Journal, scientists using NASA's now-retired Kepler space telescope found that over the course of four years, 15 sun-like stars released 26 superflares packing a wallop up to 100 times greater than the Carrington Event. A 2020 study in the Astrophysical Journal found similar results during the first year of NASA's ongoing TESS mission.
Moreover, scientists analyzing tree rings detected evidence of radioactive carbon-14 atoms — which each possess two more neutrons in their nuclei than regular carbon atoms — from solar explosions. Spikes of carbon-14 seen in the years 660 B.C., A.D. 774 and A.D. 994 may have come from superflares that were significantly stronger than the Carrington Event, Hudson said.
"The notable thing is that even the Carrington event, or comparably large normal events, are not detectable by the carbon-14 technique," Hudson said in the email. "So these ancient records are ominous."
When will the next Carrington Event occur?
A study published Feb. 29, 2024, in the journal Space Weather looked at digitized copies of magnetic field recordings from 1859 to estimate the strength of the Carrington Event. Based on the readings, the researchers concluded that Carrington-level events likely occur once every 100 to 1000 years. However, without knowing exactly how powerful the event was, scientists can only make educated guesses about how common solar outbursts of its kind may be.
The 2021 Astrophysical Journal study analyzing Kepler data suggested that superflares about 10 times more energetic than the Carrington Event may happen about every 3,000 years, and ones about 100 times more energetic may occur about every 6,000 years. Still, the rates at which our sun in particular may release Carrington-like or more powerful flares "are not well understood," Hudson said.
When it comes to solar explosions that can release major spikes of carbon-14 atoms seen in tree rings, scientists now know of at least a half-dozen "scattered through the Holocene, a 10,000-year time scale," he noted. However, "we do not understand how these are related to normal solar eruptive events such as Carrington's, and until we do, all bets are off, I'm afraid."
Editor's note: This article was updated on March 26, 2024, to include new information about the Carrington Event's strength and the likeliness of similar events occurring again."
