Since you've solved the one on Lee Harvey Oswaldo, you may be interested in
this as you hold the bilge from the MSM in such high regard.
I hacked it from Dan Rather's hard drive last night:

Depends upon the speed of the mass ejected. Typically take 2 to 5 days for a CME to reach earth. Some faster, some slower. Apparently the speeds range from 500 km/s to 3200 km/s for the mass itself. Protons can reach earth much faster, at somewhat lesser than the speed of light.
With SOHO and other sats monitoring the sun, we should get a day or so warning if not more. That is, if 0Bozo’s wunnerful gummint decided to actually make it public instead of using it as their crisis- remember, can’t let a good crisis go to waste.
JMO...Howver, when I said *large*, I was thinking along the lines of something 1000 times larger then any previous event we happened to be aware of.
This should be no big deal.
Should be...lol....
I do have a masters in physics
Well, that is very impressive and commendable.
see #102
There is no likely scenario that would allow a 1000 times cme.
The one possiblity is an impact by a large object like a rogue jupiter that might cause this event and then, the odds of the cme aimed at earth is maybe one in a thousand if the 1000 times cme occurred.
I didn't say anything about a "likely scenario".
Fact is a CME 1000 times larger than anything we know about could happen. No?
It’s like the chances of you getting on a plane and crashing and dying are extremely remote...But it happens.
Existence itself is beyond comprehension, as far as that goes.
To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
Existence itself is beyond comprehension, as far as that goes.
I agree, but compared to stars, everything else seems almost common...Stars are pretty neat.
What else burns a hole in space and time when it dies, or blow up with such intensity it can cast shadows 100 thousand light years away, while others spin like a massive searchlights sending out death ray beams across the universe.
I guess I really wouldn’t want to argue the point. Looking at a telescopic image of the sun, it is hard to comprehend what is actually there.
WTH??? That’s just weird! One heck of a smoke ring...
Read later
Ya know whats really an eye opener...Is one can look through an extremely powerful telescope at the stars, stars much larger than our sun, and they still only appears as tiny points of light, because of the great distances. Yet when this tiny planet turns revealing our star on the eastern horizon.....Man you know your close to that star....There ain't no mistaking it....lol
And looking at the moon at night, our star is generating so much light, you tell exactly where our star is even when it's dark, just by looking at the lunar surface.
I know it sounds really weird, but being this close to a star, just blows me away. lol...
As long as we're on the subject, what wigs me out is that the darkness of space that we see at night is filled with sunlight. It is streaming away from us of course, but all the same, it is invisible.
I didn’t know plasma’s were male....
We could also be wiped out without warning by Gamma- and X-rays spewed from a supernova explosion that may have happened billions of years ago. Puts Al Gore’s little climate change fraud in perspective.
People have been working this problem for some time now. Previous solar storms have incapacitated or fried distribution transformers, so that when a new one is put in or old one replaced, they make them solar-storm resistant.

If life seems jolly rotten, there’s something you’ve forgotten
And that’s to laugh and smile and dance and sing
When you’re feeling in the dumps, don’t be silly, chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle, that’s the thing
So, always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath
Life’s a counterfeit and when you look at it
Life’s a laugh and death’s the joke, it’s true
You see, it’s all a show, keep them laughing as you go
Just remember the last laugh is on you
Always look on the bright side of life
And always look on the right side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
And always look on the right side of life

Nope, freepers got that one right. If you think I hold the MSM in high regard, then you don’t know me very well. :-)
and
Walk Wide
Come stride the galaxies
with me
Be free
To run with the sun
Be one
Hold hands with the Universe -
& the daisy.
Nope. How about you?
Isn't it ever!
I always vacillate between being nervous about other world intelligences watching over our activities in a threatening way - to benevolent 'watchers' guarding this old planet to step in, if necc., should we reach the precipice of destroying ourselves.
I favor the last scenario for three reasons:
1: Obviously, with the millions of other planets in the Super Universe, earth cannot be the only one capable of supporting life,
2: If they're monitoring us - it seems for hundreds of y ears - they have, reasonable to assume, achieved a far superior level of intelligence, and
3: In that level, they have also conquered and evolved beyond the baser proclivities of we earthlings - who seem doomed to just repeat the cycles of ignorance, treadmill like.
So I despair a bit over us 'down here' ever growing up - and take a bit of comfort in thinking there is a benevolent, more intelligent entity, through emissaries, watching over us - call it/him/her what you will
(That's my story and I'm sticking to it ;o)...)
Ideally, I would like a propane stove, water heater, heater-heater, etc. and a generator -
I love my wood stove for two reasons - sense of security and wood stove heat is so friendly.
I remember thinking, during the 19 days without power, thanks to the ice storm, "Now, how would such a storm have affected the folks up on the farm in the 30's-40's?"
Answer: Except for it being a slippery walk to the barn and coop - quickly solved with ashes - not at all, since they weren't dependent on that thin wire to the utility pole for means of heat, water and light.
We are too complacent in our vulnerability today.
Yup....At midnight sunlight is blasting past, lighting up the lunar surface like a massive flood light, with all surround space appearing nearly black, throwing off so much light, the tiny shadows formed by the moons of Jupiter, almost 800,000 kilometers away from the sun, can easily been seen from earth, moving across it’s surface. The intensity is mind bending.
Interesting take and you’re probably aware, life on this little blue planet has come to the brink of extinction on numerous occasions. The most recent near extinction event, if the scientific community™ is to be believed, was the eruption of Toba ~75,000 years ago. Presumably, only several thousand humans lived to tell the tale, so to speak. But anyway, I’m convinced Mankind is not capable of acting rationally over the long term. We are inclined towards many of the baser instincts that take hold whenever we forget about the true Watcher of the universe; the Creator Himself.
I didn’t see Obamadanism on your list.
Bollocks!
Gooness, gracious, great balls of fire!
Shucks, you beat met to it!
bttt
I thought the Earth was going to be destroyed by Chef’s Salty Chocolate Balls...
Mr. Sun is such a hater.

I just watched that episode not too long ago!
But I think it The Outer Limits?
Yep.
Al Gore will find some way to make a profit off of this.
Hogwash! Reliable sources say it was a squirrel who chewed thru one of the telegraph lines in New York.........
Now we know who wears the pants in that family.
Major downer. A very bleak movie. It left me feeling like I did when I went to the planetarium as a kid and heard that the sun would eventually die out and leave earth lifeless. But I guess they really wanted all those scenes of mass destruction and couldn’t think of any way Nick Cage would survive the cataclysm.
Nothing apocalyptic.

Probably not but there doesn't seem to be any viable explanation how these "holes" or donuts form. Gotta wonder if there isn't something hitting our atmosphere, maybe from outside our solar system even. I don't guess we even know for sure our very own benevolent sun couldn't somehow be shooting directed particles of some kind at us occasionally. Truly interesting phenomenon in any case.
