Electromagnetic Pulse of Solar Flare
It is said that solar
flares will cause a massive magnetic storm in 2013. I watched a video explaining about this
magnetic storm.
Nuclear explosions or
solar flares cause massive gamma rays to hit the atmospheric layer of the
earth. Gamma rays collide with the
molecule of nitrogen and oxygen, the electron within the molecule is hit out,
and electrical current is generated.
This current generates
microwave when it goes through the magnetic field of the earth.
Massive amount of current
generated at speed showers down on the surface of the earth. This is electromagnetic pulse (EMP).
There is some concern that EMP will inflict
damage on IT infrastructures such as mobile phones and Internet. However, actually, far more large-scale problem is likely to occur.
At first, power grids
spreading over a wide area break down.
Power cables which serve as antenna receive EMP and spread it through
power grids.
Overwhelming degree of high
electrical current (different from high voltage) destroys power grids which
have sufficient insulation ability to bear it, and then directly hits
transformation installations.
Like this, massive
blackouts are easily completed.
Furthermore, high-energy EMP
transmitting through the air showers down on the earth at the speed of
nanosecond and it has IC such as microchips short out.
It causes not only
blackouts but causes engines of cars, trains and airplanes which use microchip to
stop being handled all together.
Flying airplanes
inevitably fall down because hydraulic maneuvering system is controlled mostly
by microchips.
Wireless communication
and pumps of water utility are unusable, and reactors of nuclear power plants start meltdowns here and there with
cooling means cut off.
Hiroshima-type a-bomb had the power of 13
kilotons. Current nuclear missile has
the power of close to megaton.
If this is exploded 500 km above the
surface of the earth, it is said that EMP is generated and the pulse can
inflict serious damage on social infrastructures not with its destructive power
caused by explosion but by destroying electronics.
Like microchip, with the
narrower space between electrodes it is made, the more easily EMP destroys it.
In a word, the more
heavily a country is dependent on microchips, the less tolerant to EMP the
country is.
In 1962 when the U.S. conducted a 1.4
megaton hydrogen-bomb test in the Pacific Ocean, there were many reports about
electrical abnormality which included blackouts and communication circuit
interruption, and malfunction of burglar system in Hawaii islands.
At that time, vacuum tubes were commonly used.
Vacuum tubes with wide interelectrode space
can easily tolerate high voltage.
However, today
semiconductor IC is the mainstream trend and it is less tolerable to high
voltage because of narrow space with electrodes.
In-circuit spark burns
off the circuit and the system goes down.
In a word, power return
will not operate the system again because of physical failures.
Cars in which many chips are used for fuel
injection and valve adjustment lose travelling performance and stop in line on
the street.
In March this year, many people living in
the Tokyo area walked silently. If the
same thing occurs in foreign countries, looting or assault will occur.
Everything will stop
working: essential utilities such as water, electricity and gas, and
infrastructures such as public transportation and communication system.
It will cause dysfunction
of global financial system and confusion in politics, economics, medical
services, education and military.
All countries will be not
only confused but with stoppage of water and food supply, advanced countries, among
others, will face a rapid population decrease.
We will lose the means to
harvest mass-produced, centrally controlled crops. This will also cause developing countries
with growing population growth to stop growing corps.
The sun has an activity
cycle. No large-scale magnetic storm has
occurred since human beings constructed a civilization depending on microchips.
However, if such magnetic
storm should occur, it is said that EMP similar to a nuclear explosion will
shower down on the earth.
In addition, if it is
impossible to cool reactors of nuclear power plants everywhere, world
civilization will be forced to turn back to several stages all at once.
Furthermore, solar
observation data apparently shows the activity period of the sun and maximum
activity period is said to be the first half of 2013.
It is said to be not a common groundless
prediction but a scientific event. Don’t believe me if you don’t want to.
