[antijoke]

I heard the suns activity was slowing down, so we'll be ok.

Correct .. Has anyone else noticed that the sun now takes longer to set than what it did 4 months ago?

 

[LOAM]

Definitely. I certainly feel something big is coming in 2012.

I'm worried about the epic toilet blockage crisis which is expected to hit in 2012.

The truth is out there, you just need to piece it together

 

[LeJosh]

Time to stock up on solar panels people!

Edit - To millsy and huddy, effectively we might end up seeing more than 24 hours per day? Give or take a few minutes.

i'm not the only one to notice \/

 

[Dracata]

Oh look, it's magick. What a surprise.

 

[Cosimo]

Oh deary me, who makes up all this rubbish.

Funny that on the news this morning scientists have announced that usually the sun goes through a 11 year cycle but it is still getting dimmer and hardly any activity when it should be ramping itself up to the peak of brightness and activity.

Guess we are going to have a very quiet one in 2012.

 

[Azza]

Yay another thing to look forward to.

The obvious reason is that the sun has been saving up its energy for 2012, the MOTHER OF ALL SOLAR STORMS. Duh.

 

[MookJong]

From Wiki

The solar storm of 1859, also known as the Solar Superstorm, or the Carrington Event, is the most powerful solar storm in recorded history.

Ice cores show evidence that events of similar intensity has a reoccurs rate of 500 years. Since 1869, less severe storms have occurred in 1921 and 1960, when widespread radio disruption was reported.

So yes it will happen again but very unlikely to be 2012

Can I ask guys, how does the sun "burn" without oxygen... NASA has to do a funny mix of chemicals to get fire in space. I just couldn't figure a reason out. I know it's gasses but ultimately oxygen is needed for fire.

Sorry if I seem a bit retarded.

The lizards keep it burning.

Our sun does not burn oxygen. It doesn't really burn in the same way either. It uses hydrogen in a fusion process to fuse the atoms into helium, and during this process it releases crazy amounts of energy.

You mean the 'Zards

I get it now. Forming plasma?

 

[Blue Cypher]

Yeah it doesnt "burn" like you are thinking a fire does on earth.

 

[Greebo]

No dilithium crystals.

 

[aardvark]

OK, I've seen it all now.

lol - really daily mail? its going to look like that? are you sure???
