Approaching Solar Storm Forces ISS to Take Cover

vichyschwa writes "A Coronal Mass Ejection resulting from an X3 Solar Flare earlier today is forcing the ISS and Shuttle astronauts to take cover and may result in communication disruptions. Last week, the same sunspot generated what astronomers described as a rarely imaged solar tsunami. The activity began with an X9 flare Dec. 5. According to Spaceweather.com, "satellites may experience some glitches and reboots, but astronauts are in no danger." However, the astronauts were ordered to a protective area of the space station as a precaution."

Re:X2 vs X9

Here is another reality regards these CME's and flares. The matter in them leaves the sun and accelerates rapidly upon exiting the sun. This isn't like the acceleration of a gun. In a gun once the bullet leaves the gun, it begins slowing down. In a CME the matter gets faster and faster on the way out like it was riding a railgun track all the way out. The matter in these X-Class flares left the sun and in about 16 hours are reaching the earth. They left the sun at a velocity that was a few thousand miles per hour. By the time they get to the earth they are going many times that. In the case of these flares the matter is traveling about 10% of the speed of light when it passes earth. We have had flares like this which have passed earth going nearly 30% of the speed of light in 2004 and 2005. These were measured at Saturn by space craft to be going nearly 50% of the speed of light.

The reality is that had the solar system been ruled by gravity as certain people who always find their "troll" moderation say, this could not have happened. If the sun were the nuclear furnace proposed in the popular solar models of today it is also impossible to have had this happen. The cosmology of today is busted. It is wrong.

The solar system is operating as I write a massive particle accelerator that is operating at scales and forces beyond imagination. Millions of tons of matter are going out from the sun right now at speeds which will very shortly approach the speed of light. This means in the words of "Doc" from the movie back to the future---"This sucker is electrical." The electrical universe is real and it is very much happening around us. The Gravity hypothesis for solar system operation provides no model to allow any such activity. Acceleration of matter in this fashion cannot occur in a gravity driven universe.
