Do you know who Jesse Ventura is? He is the outspoken ex-governor of Minnesota. You either appreciate or hate him. Lately, he did an investigative TV program on the 2012 end of the world prophecy and an alleged conspiracy by our authorities to cover up the truth of the potential perils associated with that date.
Conspiracies and prophecies aside, Governor Ventura uncovered some exciting scientific publications that have not garnered much press.
According to the National Academy of Sciences in a document commissioned by Nasa and published in 2009, our Sun’s solar flare activity is anticipated to peak in 2012. Disturbingly, the article compares this forecasted activity with the solar outbreak of 1859 that fried telegraph wires through the modern world.
Do you feel that solar flare activity would cause a significant if not catastrophic disruption of our life style like the movie, 2012? Sit back. The National Academy of Sciences estimates that, “A contemporary repetition of the 1859 event would bring about significantly more substantial (and probably catastrophic) social and economic disruptions.”
What does that mean? In a Nasa review summarizing the Academy of Sciences review, Nasa estimates that the harm would attain 1 to 2 Trillion dollars in damages.
Let’s compare that to Hurricane Katrina. Hurricane Katrina cost us an estimated 80 to 125 Billion dollars. 1 to 2 Trillion is one thousand to 2000 times greater! I feel you would agree that is a vital difference!
It is not the dollars. It is the collateral damage, the social damage. Water, sewage, refrigeration, gas, all these and more would be damaged if not eliminated. Due to the technological infrastructure, repairing our electric grid could take years. Are you prepared? Not many of us are.
Alarmingly, Nasa’s Themis satellites now show that the magnetic shield that safeguards us from the Sun’s lethal emissions has holes in it. With a solar emission of huge proportions, we can only guess at the consequences.
Whatever you may think about the Mayan 2012 end of the planet prophesy, science has some quite disturbing predictions for 2012. I believe in science. It provides humanity some feeling of fact. We all realize science cannot describe a lot of items. Some details are still left to faith. But, when science and the metaphysical meet, possibly it is time to pay attention.
The Mayans predicted the end of the world, as we comprehend it, in 2012. Scientists know that our Sun is in a valley of solar flares, it peaks in cycles. The National Academy of Sciences and Nasa forecast the end of the valley and a peak of a new cycle for 2012. Coincidence? I don’t know.
Are you inclined to consider the opportunity that the New Agers and the doomsday soothsayers are wrong?
Decide for yourself. Is 2012 the end of the world? Prepare for the possibilities. Why not be prepared and arm yourself with knowledge?
