A Giant Breach in Earth's Magnetic Field

Who did this?
Why wasn't I informed?

They didn't.

WOW THANKS FOR THE INFO ZORGON

What up everyone - reader for years, first post. Love the brainpower and quick wit on this board...not to mention the overall obective to search for truth.

Maybe I read the NASA article incorrectly, but the THEMIS mission was launched in February of 2007 and the discovery came in July of 2007 when the "five probes serendipitously flew through the breach just as it was opening.." I think its quite possible that the magnetic anomaly could be a common occurance and this just happens to be the first time we actually measured it. Consider that in reality, the "surprise" came only 5 months after the program was initiated (not sure if there have been previous NASA missions in this regard).

Think of any groundbreaking scientific development, and I'll show you a surprised scientist who conducted the experiment and/or research. Any step closer to the absolute truth is a step in the right direction....

My thoughts exactly! It STINKS of HAARP.

Without a magnetic field most of Earth will die. People will not even be able to walk outside for fear of being burnt to death by radiation or cosmic rays, x-rays, gamma rays etc. Not to mention we will loose our atmosphere.

Indeed, Earth will become Mar's twin. I hope the guys at HAARP thought it was all worth while!

NASA may just be finding this out, but the Discovery channel has ran at least two programs about the change in the magntic field in the Atlantic Ocean in the southern hemisphere. Speculation is that it is a cyclical event that precludes a shifting of the magnetic poles.

On the Yahoo front page right now link

And now the latest Global Warming News

WASHINGTON - More than 2 trillion tons of land ice in Greenland, Antarctica and Alaska have melted since 2003, according to new NASA satellite data that show the latest signs of what scientists say is global warming.

The comparison to Venus may not be valid, I believe Velikovsky was correct in that Venus is a young planet and is still finding electrical equilibrium. The runaway greenhouse effect is a myth.



Hmm... a cometary tail?


en.wikipedia.org...

Ewww, I used wikipedia as reference.

It probably would take a long to to strip the atmosphere, but it does happen, it's happening on Mars and Venus as mentioned above.

Solar Wind Rips up Martian Atmosphere
Obseving the atmospheres of Venus and Mars leaking into space



Thanks for the clarification, however I'd have to disagree with the Venus comparison. It may have a thick atmosphere but it is still being stripped.
It's just a baby is all.

I agree that the atmosphere does serve some protection, but it kind of sounds like your saying that our atmosphere would be fine without the magnetosphere. As I said before no magnetosphere no atmosphere, (eventually).

I'd also like to mention that this discovery changes conventional views of the interactions with magnetospheres and the solar wind. Even my comment regarding the polarity of the IMF seems to be no longer valid. So all bets are off.

Could this be related to the sun being at solar minimum?

Is it a coincidence that the breach has occurred at the same time as the solar minimum?

If it is related, then the magnetic field will increase as the sun's activity increases.


Or I'm completely wrong

A bit more clarification may be in order. The atmosphere is our primary protection from high energy particles. We would be protected from high energy particles if the magnetosphere were not present. However, as you say, without the magnetosphere our atmosphere would gradually blow away (you're correct that Venus is not a good analog, but it was easier than going through the whole thing about when Mars' magnetosphere may have gone away). Of course, if our atmosphere goes away we won't have to worry much about the effects of cosmic rays, we'll be back to living in caves (sealed).

I have no doubt that we are going to be learning a lot more about the solar wind et al. We haven't been out there touching it for very long at all. Science!

Hehe ATS beats AP out the door

I've been trying to figure that out as well. If you want to confuse yourself even further, checkout the wealth of data related to the current solar cycle on this site: link.

My question is, what happens if there is one of these 'breaches' and a CME occurs which is pointed towards earth? I mean this must have happened before. Just because they recently discovered the breaches doesn't mean they haven't been there a while (right?).

Well maybe but I'm a nice kook... keep you hopping to keep up with me and alleviate your boredom

I believe if you look at the bottom of the post you answered you will notice I gave that thread...

right below THIS

"It appears the Nuke part of the story may be bunk, but the seismic record isn't so SOMETHING caused that record. "

It's funny because the first thing I did when I saw it on Yahoo was come to ATS...and there was your post already on the front page! Way to beat the MSM.

I would never call you a kook, Zorgon.
I was referring to the kook who wrote the "article".

Hey Watch, just doesnt suprise me. I read about this somewhere....hmmmm...oh yes...

Revelation 16:8-9 (New International Version)

8The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was given power to scorch people with fire.
9They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him.

Now let the flames BEGIN!

Lol, but it is curious that a guy 2000 years ago predicted this.

Predicted what? A geomagnetic storm might result in some problems with your ipod but you won't feel a thing.

Okay

HEY here is something WEIRD to toss into the ring...

The DAY BEFORE this hole appears.. they reported this

Seems the Universe is tossing more surprises at NASA scientists
