It was me. :ssh:
if this happens i better get a fucking cool superpower like static shock did when a sun spot happened
Would it reach only one side of the Earth?
If this happens every 11 years then that would mean it happened in 2001. We had satellites and power lines and shit. Nothing happened. So why would it happen in 2012?
[QUOTE=Maloof?;21090878]Four sattelites with nothing between them but a magnetic field will not take up very much space. Considering that we don't know WHY it could be this strong (and can't actually predict whether or not it will be anyway), I think most of the world would rather be prepared than be sitting there with no electricity at all (that's no phones, no internet, no digital watches, digital ovens, no digital car alarms or, [b]if you're unlucky enough to have a digital starter system for your car ignition, no working car)[/b] thinking "We'll figure something out next time".[/QUOTE] So it would only affect digital devices? My '99 Escort might not work since it most likely has a computer controlling the engine, but my parents have a '74 Volkswagen Beetle that may work. So I guess we wouldn't out of vehicles per se.
I guess you could say that scientists are getting [img]http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q198/Hezzy88/mojo.jpg[/img] [i]hot under the collar[/i]
It's a Flashforward, it will happen again!!!! dun dun dun.
so this is why i've been subconsciously collecting heaps of tin foil:aaa:
Nothing will happen.
I can't wait ! God, do not disapoint me.

Isn't this from that "Knowing" movie with Nicholas Cage? [editline]12:49PM[/editline] which was terrible fyi
No.
Well guys, this was fun, but I'm getting off here. Have fun with your EMP storms and your collapse of civilization. :suicide:
[QUOTE=Marlamin;21402145]Isn't this from that "Knowing" movie with Nicholas Cage? [editline]12:49PM[/editline] which was terrible fyi[/QUOTE] That particular movie involved a solar flare that burned the Earth to death. This is an EMP that creates a situation more like a nuclear apocalypse, just with a LOT of survivors.
Yes
2012 is just going to be another year. As you all know, the whole idea revolving around 2012 is that the sun and Earth and whatnot are all going to align together on December 21st, which is going to throw the earth off its axis and we're all going to die. However, what these websites and shit don't tell you is that the sun and Earth and whatnot align EVERY SINGLE YEAR on that same day. Yea, I know right?

2012 will never happen, as in the Earth will not end. Its just paranoia. It was the same in the year 2000 with Y2K, it was the same with 6/6/06, it will be the same with 2012. The only thing that will happen is that people will commit suicide. The world will end for those people, but not for everyone else. Besides, didn't the whole 'world ends in 2012' thing originated from some book?
[QUOTE=Dysgalt;21077956]:ohdear: But to think of it Amish communities and undeveloped parts of the world where they dont really rely on these things will barely take a dent since they've lived without electronics pretty much for their entire life..[/QUOTE] I wouldn't mind living like the Amish (without the beliefs) for a bit. The only problem is the food riots. I somehow imagine that not being part of a gang means getting pillaged for what you have by those with the manpower.

And more planets would not align every year because Earth is the only planet that (obviously) takes 1 Earth year to orbit the sun.
Anyone seen Knowing? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5j8nuUVByrU[/media]
I will be pissed when my camera stops working :ohdear: .
[QUOTE]Transformers could get wiped out[/QUOTE] Then the Decepticons will kill us. Great.
Say, will my computer, and it's hard drive, get ruined by this?
I'd be pretty bummed by this if it were to occur. Fucking sun ruining everything
But doesn't enought thick plate of lead stop radiationg like this?

[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;21091319]Damn straight. If those goddamn mayans were so good at predicting disasters like many so-called scientists say, they would have predicted that on the year 1492 some freaky-looking, goldthirsty white man was going to appear out of nowhere, and that he and his guns were going to fuck them up bigtime. Yeah, they sure didn't see that one coming... :rolleyes: They're not to be trusted and that pisses me off. What pisses me off even more are all those assholes falling for that load of bullshit claiming it's a FACT... "Hurr durr omg the mayans are right, their prophecy is true, we're all gonna fucking die aaargghhh!!!! :derp:" *rage* I can't wait for Jan 1st, 2013 so I can shut some fucking hippies up. /rant[/QUOTE] I was about to say something that would've put a damper on your "they didn't predicts the white dudes" thing, but then I remembered it was the AZTECS who predicted the coming of Cortes (they thought he was Quetzalcoatl). so... yeah, my bad. but either way, I still believe nothing's going to happen come 2012. I've never heard of a prediction that has ever been correct, and don't dare mention Nostradamus because his predictions were extremely fucking vague you could only apply them to real life happenings in the most broadest way possible.
