Nasa has warned that solar flare activity in 2013 could cause widespread disruptions and devastation.
Described as a "once in a generation solar storm" the flares could cause blackouts, communication disruptions and stop electrical devices from functioning, inflicting widespread devastation when it hits.
Britain could face widespread power blackouts and be left without critical communication signals for long periods of time, after the earth is hit by a once-in-a-generation “space storm”, Nasa has warned.

"NASA's David Morrison, expert on Earth impact hazards and currently Interim Director of the NASA Lunar Science Institute, speaks on what are the risk to Earth in 2012." This man himself states that NASA does not recognize either the anticipated end of the world in 2012, nor a Planet X, or for that matter, anything out of the ordinary in comparison to the other years. That's directly from the horse's mouth. Personally, I simply feel it will be the total end of the age of Pisces and the true independance of the age of Aquarius. And by that, change - but for the better and the planet.

And, now it's all like- Maybe, it will be ok. That looks terribly brighter all the 2012 stuff could be right, not the end of the world part but the start of a new era idea is starting to sound about right. how long would the sun stay in that active state?

I think planting a gardening is always a good idea and maybe raising some chickens. Might want to get a generator to try to keep the refrigerator going, but i don't know if that would work. I keep lots of hurricane supples around and update them every year. I guess when you live in hurricane country some tells you there a disaster is coming you shrug your shoulders put up the shudders and fill the car up with gas. When you think about it we got on just fine with out all these electronics before the 80's. Planting a garden seems like a great idea, are there any giant sunglasses for garden? Just... [More]

if this occurs... will this bring us more together or will this separate us even more?... People usually take advantage of these situations to rob and do things like that...

In 2008, NASA posted an article on their website that explained that our solar system slowly bounces above and below the equator of the Milkyway, which is relatively round and flat, as it rotates around the center of the galaxy. And that in 2012 we will reach that equator which will cause a slight increase in gravity, not noticeable on earth, but will cause a sharp increase in solar flares. The article says they discovered this information using the Hubble space telescope. The article was suspiciously removed a few weeks after I read it. So. it seems that the Mayans and other ancient astronome... [More]
