M31 is moving toward the Milky Way at about 250,000 miles per hour. At that speed we could reach the moon in an hour. This series of photo illustrations shows the predicted merger between the Milky Way and Andromeda as seen from Earth. The first frame is the present day; the last frame is 75 years from now.

If and when this happens there may not even be people on Earth. We may be extinct. Stephen Hawking recommended before his death that humanity's best chance would be to spread out to neighboring stars.

Colliding galaxies are nothing to worry about though because the distance between stars is so large, when galaxies collide not many stars even pass close to stars in oncoming galaxies.

Recently there was a correction to the estimated size of the Andromeda galaxy (our first collision) by over a factor of 10+. Turns out that our Milky Way will absorb Andromeda and not even burp.

It would be a beautiful sight to see approaching in the night sky; the two galaxies in the shape of an X before they merge however who or what will see it all those millions of years in the future? I'd like to but for obvious reasons that's impossible. I'll be long dead.... lol

I think the article said the cluster was 12.4 billion years away. Which is about right for being on the edge of the observable universe. The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotrophy Probe revealed the universe to be 13.75 (+/- 10%) billion years old.

https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/thumbnails/image/wmap_0.jpg

Interesting thing to note too is that Quantum Fluctuation predates the universe, is non-physical, acts upon the physical, created something from nothing. One could say science has discovered God as they are both defined much the same way.

The 14 galaxies at the edge of the observable universe may have already collided. Given that the diameter of the observable universe is 93 billion light years, the light from those galaxies has taken about 46.5 billion years to reach us.

It always amazes me that we can look so far into the past by simply looking up. And that a few photons traveled unimaginable distances over billions or trillions of years, just to hit my retina.

Aren't there some theories that what we see may not even still be there, due to how long it took the light to get here anyway? :o

My Bible says that flesh and blood can not inherit the Kingdom of heaven ... that must also include the thought of space travel at the speed of light. :yep:

Yes, as has been said before in this thread, light travels at 186,282 miles per second. Many of the things we see on the night sky are older than what we see because light takes so long to reach our eye. When you look at a star, you are looking at the past.

Some of the stars might not me there anymore, yet we see them. If our Sun goes off, it takes us 8 minutes to see it go off.

One could say science has discovered God as they are both defined much the same way. AT 67,WITH MY LIMITED SENSORY SYSTEM, I ALWAYS SUFFER AN AFTERGLOW LIGHT PATTERN AFTER MY DAILY QUANTUM FLUCTUATION.:O: ONE COULD INDEED SAY THE SCIENTIST HAVE DISCOVERED GOD...AND MY IMPRESSION IS: SHE'S REALLY PISSED OFF!:yep: AS FOR OUR PERCEPTION OF THE DISTANCE OR TIME APPARENTLY INVOLVED; SCIENTISTS AGREE 90% OF THE UNIVERE IS INVIBLE SO WHAT WE SEE IS A PIDDLING 10%!!! FORGET IT :Edgar Cayce HAD THE CORRECT VIEW IMHO: Learn these lessons well: First, the continuity of life. There is no time; it is one time. There is no space; it is one space.

https://si.wsj.net/public/resources/images/B3-EK469_ASTERO_P_20190702155915.jpg<EVEN IF WE SEE IT WE HAVE NO MEANS TO STOP IT:
In May, a group of international scientists assembled near Washington, D.C., to tackle an alarming problem: what to do about an asteroid hurtling toward Earth.
Astronomers at a mountaintop observatory in Hawaii had spotted an 800-foot-wide asteroid, dubbed 2019 PDC, when it was 35 million miles away. By asteroid standards, it was relatively small—not even close to the six-mile-wide piece of space rock believed to have wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. Still, this asteroid was traveling at 31,000 miles an hour, and if it hit Earth, the impact could release the equivalent of 500 megatons of TNT—about 10 times more powerful than the largest nuclear weapon ever built.
Scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory calculated that the big rock was headed toward Denver. Unless the asteroid could be deflected, two million people would have to be relocated, and the city would be obliterated.
All of this was hair-raising but, fortunately, not real: The scientists were participating in a highly dramatized but scientifically plausible “hypothetical asteroid impact scenario” at the International Academy of Astronautics’ sixth Planetary Defense Conference (http://pdc.iaaweb.org/?mod=article_inline), held in College Park, Md.
The sky wasn’t falling this time, but the underlying questions are still urgent. Many scientists argue that the most effective way to deal with a threat from a small asteroid would be to send up an unmanned spacecraft armed with a nuclear explosive device (they hesitate to call it a bomb) to blow it up or nudge it off course. Nuking an incoming asteroid is also the preferred Hollywood method—it worked spectacularly well for Bruce Willis in the exciting but scientifically challenged 1998 film “Armageddon” (https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB899083206652206000?mod=article_inline)—but the nuclear option faces serious hurdles in the real world. Sending nuclear weapons into space, even to save Denver, makes lots of people nervous and could violate international treaties governing the militarization of space.

So after some heated debate, the scientists assembled in Maryland decided to deploy a fleet of unmanned, nonnuclear “kinetic impactor” (https://www.nasa.gov/content/asteroid-grand-challenge/mitigate/kinetic-impactor?mod=article_inline) spacecraft against the incoming asteroid. Kinetic impactors are essentially cannonball technology: You pack a spacecraft with a payload of solid metal and then crash it head-on into the asteroid, in hopes not of destroying it but of reducing its speed by a tiny fraction. That way, by the time it reaches its predicted rendezvous point with Earth, our planet will have already moved on in its orbit, and the asteroid will fly harmlessly by.
At least in theory. In the Maryland scenario, NASA, the European Space Agency, Japan, Russia and China all launched hastily designed and untested kinetic impactor ships. Three of them smashed into the asteroid. The main body of the asteroid was deflected and would miss Earth. Denver was saved! Unfortunately, one of the kinetic impacts inadvertently broke off a 200-foot-wide chunk of the asteroid—and that hurtling fragment was now on track to hit New York City.
The only hope was to destroy the fragment with a nuclear device. But existing ground-launched, nuclear-armed ballistic missiles weren’t designed to take on an asteroid in space, and there simply wasn’t time to launch a nuclear-armed spacecraft to intercept the asteroid chunk. New York would just have to take the hit. Millions of people were evacuated, the asteroid exploded in a fireball over Central Park—and Manhattan was wiped off the map.
Mercifully, Manhattan is still very much with us. But the war game was a reminder that asteroid defense isn’t science fiction but a serious and necessary venture.
True, the chances of a civilization-destroying asteroid impact are exceedingly small, at least in the foreseeable future. Asteroid strikes that cause regional devastation and catastrophic global climate change occur, on average, only about once every 100,000 years or more. On the other end of the scale, Earth is routinely bombarded by small asteroids that almost always burn up or blow up high in the atmosphere, creating meteors or fireballs that are visually spectacular but pose little or no danger. In December 2018, for example, a 30-foot-wide asteroid exploded in the atmosphere over the Bering Sea with the explosive force of a dozen Hiroshima atomic bombs—but except for a few satellites and sensor systems, no one noticed.
The most immediate threat isn’t from the largest or smallest asteroids but from those in between. Over the past two decades, asteroid hunters with NASA and other international space agencies have identified and tracked the orbits of more than 20,000 asteroids—also known as near-Earth objects—that pass through our neighborhood as they orbit the sun. Of those, about 2,000 are classified as potentially hazardous—asteroids that are large enough (greater than 150 yards in diameter) to cause local destruction and that come close enough to Earth to someday pose a threat.
The good news is that scientists don’t expect any of these known asteroids to collide with Earth within at least the next century. Some will come pretty close, though: On an unlucky Friday the 13th in April 2029, the thousand-foot-wide asteroid Apophis will pass a mere 19,000 miles from Earth—closer than the satellites that bring us DISH TV.
But here’s the bad news: Hundreds of thousands of other near-Earth asteroids, both large and small, haven’t been identified. We have no idea where they are and where they are going. On Feb. 15, 2013, a relatively small, 60-foot-wide asteroid traveling at 43,000 mph exploded in the atmosphere near the Russian city of Chelyabinsk, sending out a blast wave (https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424127887324162304578305163574597722?mod=ar ticle_inline) that injured 1,500 people. No one had seen the asteroid coming.
We need to find and track these unknown invaders as soon as possible. But while NASA’s “planetary defense” budget has been steadily increasing over the past decade, the $150 million allocated in 2019 for asteroid detection, asteroid tracking and related programs amounts to less than 1% of the space agency’s $21.5 billion budget.
Nor is it clear that we could deflect a small but dangerous asteroid heading our way even if we did spot it. No asteroid-deflection method has ever been tested in real-space conditions—and, as the conference’s war game demonstrated, using untested technology always entails a risk that the mission could go terribly wrong.
In 2021, NASA intends to launch its Double Asteroid Redirection Test (https://www.nasa.gov/planetarydefense/dart?mod=article_inline) mission to try the kinetic impactor deflection method against a nonthreatening asteroid called Didymos. More tests will be required before we can achieve even a modest planetary defense capability. (Because of legal and political objections, NASA has no plans to test nuclear-explosive asteroid-deflection methods in space.)
Over its 4.5 billion-year history, Earth has been hit millions of times by powerful asteroids, and it will inevitably be hit again—whether two centuries from now or next Tuesday. So it isn’t a question of whether humankind will have to confront the prospect of a destructive asteroid hurtling our way; it is only a question of when.

So the earth will kill us if we destroy the ecosystem, or the sun will kill the earth someday, or a meteorite.. which reminds me of August (and i quote):
"Not if we blow up the earth first!"

[...] Did you know that true north is moving at the rate of two feet a year and that it will take about five more years to reach the true north pole?
Now that's something to worry about. :yep:
True North moving, and then reach the true North? Which is the real true north?
Why should it bother? Last thing i heard was that the magnetic pole wanders off, if it now goes back to to the geographical north pole i can keep my compass :)

The earth is turning around its own axis alright while wobbling around the sun, which is why we have day and night. The earth's core consists mostly of heavy iron, between the core and the outer thin crust we walk on is a more or less hot fluid rock mush, they are not fixed together, permanently. Since the core is only dragged along with the outer earth's momentum (or vice versa, like in an automatic fluid transmission) it has another rotational speed, and the speed difference generates the magnetic field like in a dynamo.

Still, the axis the core turns around is more or less parallel to the outer earth's axis, so even when the core falls behind, the magnetic field will still be there. A bit less strong, or even reversed, but the solar winds will still be deflected.. mostly.

But we are doing enough to set free enough radiation on earth anyway

so just to quote August again ..

The rotation of Earth is also slowing due to tidal friction from the Moon and other factors. Because of this, every so often a "leap second" has to be inserted into UTC to keep our clocks in sync with apparent time. Not all of the factors are currently understood, so there is no long term way to predict exactly when a leap second will need to be inserted.

However, there are occasionally long periods in which no leap second needs to be inserted (e.g. between 1999 and 2006). It appears we are currently in one of those periods. The last leap second was inserted on January 1st, 2017. According to IERS (International Earth Rotation and Reference System Service) Bulletin C Number 58 - issued July 4th, 2019 - there will be no leap second inserted for the rest of 2019.

It will be the closest approach by one of the largest asteroids crossing Earth’s orbit in the next decade.
Observations of the asteroid, known as 99942 Apophis, and was the very embodiment of the powers of dissolution, darkness and non-being. Hence, he was a sort of void or "black hole" forcing those he swallowed into that non-existence which the Egyptians feared so greatly. Being completely outside of the natural world, he was believed to require no nourishment other than to "breathe" his own shouts. He was a huge serpent who was thought to have existed at the beginning of time in the waters of primeval chaos prior to creation (http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/creation.htm) and his power was so great that it was thought that he would continue to exist in an endlessly malevolent cycle of attack, defeat and resurgent attack. He is thus known by many epithets, ranging from evil lizard, opponent and enemy to world encircler and serpent of rebirth. During the Roman period (http://www.touregypt.net/ehistory.htm#Roman Period), he was interpreted as "he who was spat out" http://www.touregypt.net/images/touregypt/apep1.jpg...SO NOW WE KNOW WHAT WAS WRAPPED AROUND THE TREE IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN TALKIN' TO EVE- THE ENEMY OF MA'AT!:yeah: was once suggested that its 2029 flyby would take it through a gravitational keyhole — a location in Earth’s gravity field that would tug the asteroid’s trajectory such that on its next flyby, in the year 2036, it would likely make a devastating impact.
Thankfully, more recent observations have confirmed that the asteroid will sling by Earth without incident in both 2029 and 2036. Nevertheless, most scientists believe it is never too early to consider strategies for deflecting an asteroid if one were ever on a crash course with our home planet.JEEZE....:hmmm: I'LL BE 105:yep: AND 'GOOD TO GO' ANYWAY!

In his proposal, Paek used the asteroid Apophis as a theoretical test case. According to astronomical observations, this 27-gigaton rock may come close to Earth in 2029, and then again in 2036. Paek determined that five tons of paint would be required to cover the massive asteroid, which has a diameter of 1,480 feet. He used the asteroid’s period of rotation to determine the timing of pellets, launching a first round to cover the front of the asteroid, and firing a second round once the asteroid’s backside is exposed. As the pellets hit the asteroid’s surface, they would burst apart, splattering the space rock with a fine, five-micrometer-layer of paint.
From his calculations, Paek estimates that it would take up to 20 years for the cumulative effect of solar radiation pressure to successfully pull the asteroid off its Earthbound trajectory. He says launching pellets with traditional rockets may not be an ideal option, as the violent takeoff may rupture the payload. Instead, he envisions paintballs may be made in space, in ports such as the International Space Station, where a spacecraft could then pick up a couple of rounds of pellets to deliver to the asteroid. :Kaleun_Salute:

Now it just got odder. As if the name of the planet wasn't enough, scientists recently discovered Uranus is home to fart-smelling clouds. University of Oxford researchers examining the planet's infrared light through the Gemini North telescope discovered clouds of hydrogen sulfide spreading into Uranus' upper atmosphere. That's a toxic gas that smells like rotten eggs or someone passing gas It’s a giant magnetic bubble that may have been whisking Uranus’ atmosphere out to space. A plasmoid is a structure of plasma (electrified gas) in a magnetic bubble in the magnetosphere of a planet. Astronomers have finally figured out what the clouds of Uranus consist of - and as it turns out, they smell terrible. For the first time, there's been a clear detection of hydrogen sulfide, the gas that gives rotten eggs - and flatulence - their distinctive aroma It’s thought that a cylindrical plasmoid discovered at Uranus—which is at least 127,000 x 250,000 miles across—could be responsible for draining ions from the planet’s atmosphere, therefore causing it to lose mass. Not happy with being the coldest planet of them all and the only planet in the solar system to spin on its side (every 17 hours and 14 minutes), the “ice giant” now appears to be a “wobbly magnetic oddball” that’s leaking its atmosphere into space.

https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/animals/a34968104/mass-extinctions-happen-every-27-million-years/ Scientists have new evidence that Earth’s many periodic mass extinctions follow a cycle of about 27 million years, connecting the five major mass extinctions with more minor ones occurring throughout Earth’s life-fostering timespan. The artificial intelligence analysis could also shift how evolutionary scientists think about the aftermath of mass extinctions....To study these events, the scientists fed more than a million data points about 170,000-plus species into a machine learning algorithm that processed all of it into one giant statistical timeline. From that information, the algorithm concluded that while the “big five” mass extinctions are part of the top 5 percent of all time population change events, so are “seven additional mass extinctions, two combined mass extinction–radiation events and 15 mass radiations.” ...Too many of a particular species almost always ends up harming the surroundings, even dramatically. Like we said: it's complicated. My bet's on a mass radiation event from 8,000,000,000, too many of a particular species prone to "harming the surroundings"; in a whole lot less than 27,OOO,OOO years!!?? :doh: https://youtu.be/15YgdrhrCM8

We Are About To Witness A Rare Planetary Alignment Not Seen In 800 Years

Astronomers use the word conjunction to describe meetings of planets and other objects on our sky’s dome. They use the term great conjunction to describe meetings of the two biggest worlds in our solar system, mighty Jupiter and the glorious ringed planet Saturn.

The next great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn will be December 21, 2020.

That date is, coincidentally, the date of the December solstice. It’ll be the first Jupiter-Saturn conjunction since the year 2000, and

the closest Jupiter-Saturn conjunction since 1623,

only 14 years after Galileo made his first telescope. At their closest, Jupiter and Saturn will be only 0.1 degree apart. That’s just 1/5 of a full moon diameter.

The extra-close Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in 2020 won’t be matched again until the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction of March 15, 2080.

Heck Earth will be a big ball of fire in about four million years as our sun goes red. Afterwards it's theorized it will take an almost immeasurable amount of time for the universe to die by way of heat death, big crunch or big rip.

But there's another way. Its called 'vacuum decay' a quick, clean and painless disassociation of all matter in the universe. So fast that even if you were able to catch a glimmer of it at your feet. It would consume you faster than the nerve impulse could travel from your feet to your brain. Only nice thing about it is, if it ever were too happened we would never know it did, no warning just.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-much-time-does-humanity-have-left/ There is a silver lining lurking in the background. It involves the possibility that we possess free will and can respond to deteriorating conditions by promoting a longer future than a few centuries. Wise public policy could mitigate the risk from technological catastrophes associated with climate change, self-inflicted pandemics or wars. It is unclear whether our policy makers will actually respond to the challenges that lie ahead and save us from the above statistical verdict. Humans are not good at coping with risks they have never encountered before, as exemplified by the politics of climate change....Although Earth serves as a comfortable home at the moment, we will ultimately be forced to relocate because the sun will boil off all liquid water on our planet’s surface within a billion years. Establishing multiple communities of humans on other worlds(Mars??!!) would resemble the duplication of the Bible by the Gutenberg printing press around 1455, which prevented loss of precious content through a single-point catastrophe....As Oscar Wilde noted: “We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars”. :yep: :oops: :dead:

Here's something else to think about as well Mr Quatro, when these idiotic politicians of the USA, China and Russia have run out of meaningful diplomatic dialogue, one of the bloody idiots is going to start flinging nuclear missiles about, and the sad thing about it is, they know it's going to happen sooner rather than later.

Dig yourself a deep bunker and wait for the show to start.

The Tall el-Hamman meteor was probably larger than the one that struck Tunguska, but no bigger than 200 to 250 feet across. A cosmic airburst sounds like an otherworldly event, but other instances have been documented, such the explosion over Tunguska, Russia, in 1908. Such explosions are rare, with thousands of years between known events. Tall el-Hamman is the second-earliest airburst to be identified, after one in Abu Hureyra, Syria, which experts believe was destroyed by a comet some 12,800 years ago, and may represent the first written record of such a catastrophic event. In reaching their conclusions on the cause of the Tall el-Hammam destruction, the scientist said they investigated 14 major lines of evidence, including the discovery of pottery and bricks that melted at extremely high temperatures, diamond-like carbon formed at high pressure and temperature, and evidence of minerals that melted at temperatures of over 2500°C (4500 degrees Fahrenheit.) They also discovered human remains they said were so badly destroyed and dispersed it could only have been caused by a massive nuclear-like explosion.
“The circumstances and condition of the human bones and fragments suggest that at the moment of death, these individuals were going about normal activities inside the palace, on the upper ring road, and/or on the rampart above the road, where they were struck by a high-temperature thermal pulse, followed by a hyper-velocity blast wave from a catastrophic cosmic airburst,” the study found, noting that the most similar event recorded in modern times was the airburst at Tunguska. The study notes that there is ongoing debate as to whether Tall el-Hammam could be the biblical city of Sodom, saying that question is “beyond the scope of this investigation.” https://news.artnet.com/art-world/meteor-destroyed-ancient-city-inspired-sodom-2015505 https://www.timesofisrael.com/meteor-destroyed-ancient-city-likely-inspired-bible-tale-of-sodom-study-finds/

...as I've casually pointed out in the Ukraine and Onkel Neal's trucking threads, MIT thinktankers and Nostrodemus have both predicted that civilization will end around 2040...ie 17 years left on the spinning mudball. Covid, global warming, incompetent leadership, and nuclear proliferation will likely be the primary culprits. This will seriously the hamper the current Sino 100 year global-hegemony new world order agenda currently emanating/afflicting from Bejing . :x Since life on earth can only be regarded as "living in a bubble" compared to the harsh, seemingly lifeless expanding universe this planet exists in, the predicted expansion of the sun into a red giant will put paid to the whole matter shortly. I say shortly: as Einstein once said: "time is an illusion"; my 72 circumnavigations of the sun, measured as 364.25 spins of the mudball-ride, while admiring my watch collection, may therefore be only a manifestation of the "bubble" in my febrile mind.

It’s a long but recommended read to see the direction warfare is heading.

But I choose this thread because of a particular subject brought up in the article. AI - is Skynet Ready?

Royal Aeronautical Society

Highlights from the RAeS Future Combat Air & Space Capabilities Summit

https://www.aerosociety.com/news/highlights-from-the-raes-future-combat-air-space-capabilities-summit/

Could an AI-enabled UCAV turn on its creators to accomplish its mission? (USAF)

As might be expected artificial intelligence (AI) and its exponential growth was a major theme at the conference, from secure data clouds, to quantum computing and ChatGPT. However, perhaps one of the most fascinating presentations came from Col Tucker ‘Cinco’ Hamilton, the Chief of AI Test and Operations, USAF, who provided an insight into the benefits and hazards in more autonomous weapon systems. Having been involved in the development of the life-saving Auto-GCAS system for F-16s (which, he noted, was resisted by pilots as it took over control of the aircraft) Hamilton is now involved in cutting-edge flight test of autonomous systems, including robot F-16s that are able to dogfight. However, he cautioned against relying too much on AI noting how easy it is to trick and deceive. It also creates highly unexpected strategies to achieve its goal.

He notes that one simulated test saw an AI-enabled drone tasked with a SEAD mission to identify and destroy SAM sites, with the final go/no go given by the human. However, having been ‘reinforced’ in training that destruction of the SAM was the preferred option, the AI then decided that ‘no-go’ decisions from the human were interfering with its higher mission – killing SAMs – and then attacked the operator in the simulation. Said Hamilton: “We were training it in simulation to identify and target a SAM threat. And then the operator would say yes, kill that threat. The system started realising that while they did identify the threat at times the human operator would tell it not to kill that threat, but it got its points by killing that threat. So what did it do? It killed the operator. It killed the operator because that person was keeping it from accomplishing its objective.”

He went on: “We trained the system – ‘Hey don’t kill the operator – that’s bad. You’re gonna lose points if you do that’. So what does it start doing? It starts destroying the communication tower that the operator uses to communicate with the drone to stop it from killing the target.”

This example, seemingly plucked from a science fiction thriller, mean that: “You can't have a conversation about artificial intelligence, intelligence, machine learning, autonomy if you're not going to talk about ethics and AI” said Hamilton.

On a similar note, science fiction’s – or ‘speculative fiction’ was also the subject of a presentation by Lt Col Matthew Brown, USAF, an exchange officer in the RAF CAS Air Staff Strategy who has been working on a series of vignettes using stories of future operational scenarios to inform decisionmakers and raise questions about the use of technology. The series ‘Stories from the Future’ uses fiction to highlight air and space power concepts that need consideration, whether they are AI, drones or human machine teaming. A graphic novel is set to be released this summer.

And you know something is happening here

But ya' don't know what it is

Do you, Mister Jones?

— Bob Dylan, Ballad of a Thin Man

Sometime in the past year, this tiny planet we live on in an obscure corner of our Milky Way galaxy went through some sort of tipping point, a “state change” of sorts, and now things are different from how they’ve been at any other time in the 300,000 year history of the human race. Nobody knows for sure what that change or tipping point is.
— One theory is that variations in dust concentrations in the Northern Hemisphere’s atmosphere — a function of the temperature of the Atlantic Ocean allowing more or less fine dirt to be picked up and carried aloft from northern Africa — are changing the reflectivity of the atmosphere and trapping more of the sun’s heat.
— Another theory follows the January, 2022 eruption of the volcano at Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha’apai, which injected so much water vapor (146 million tons) and sulfur dioxide (420,000 tons) into the stratosphere that scientists were predicting soon after it happened that there would be a year or two of unusual heat signatures across the planet.

— Some scientists argue it was caused by a change in worldwide regulations mandating ships at sea burn cleaner diesel fuel, reducing the soot-type particles they’re emitting that previously formed heat-reflective clouds. But regardless of the why/how, something has definitely happened in the past year or so that has pushed our atmosphere’s state of equilibrium out of an older, stable range and into a newer, warmer, and apparently far less stable state.

It’s so dramatic and so shocking that scientists — typically not prone to hyperbole — publishing in the peer-reviewed journal BioScience about this anomaly open their article with:

“Life on planet Earth is under siege. We are now in an uncharted territory.

“For several decades, scientists have consistently warned of a future marked by extreme climatic conditions because of escalating global temperatures caused by ongoing human activities that release harmful greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.
“Unfortunately, time is up. We are seeing the manifestation of those predictions as an alarming and unprecedented succession of climate records are broken, causing profoundly distressing scenes of suffering to unfold. We are entering an unfamiliar domain regarding our climate crisis, a situation no one has ever witnessed firsthand in the history of humanity.”
Looking at 35 different “vital signs” that signal the health of our planet and its atmosphere, 20 of which have deviated from their norms so badly as to alarm researchers, the scientists who wrote for BioScience warn us all:

“We are venturing into uncharted climate territory.”
In just the past 24 hours, a tropical storm that nobody thought was a threat blew up into a full-on Category 5 hurricane and is, as you’re reading these words, devastating Acapulco. Not one weather agency predicted it: this is how unpredictable and violent our weather has become because we’re still burning fossil fuels.
While wind and solar power grew 17 percent worldwide between 2021 and 2022, and both are now cheaper that any unsubsidized fossil fuels, humanity is still using fossil fuels at a 15:1 ratio against renewables. Life on earth won’t be safe until those numbers are reversed.
Our forests worldwide are not only under assault from loggers and poachers; climate change has now altered their environment enough that hundreds of millions of acres of trees are suffering from beetle infestations, drought, dieback, and forest fires. While the world needs to reverse the trend toward deforestation by 2030 (we’re currently losing around 22 million hectares of forest and jungle a year), we’re still a long way away from that goal.
All over the planet glaciers are in retreat, as are the ice shelves and glaciers covering Greenland and Antarctica. Coral reefs are bleaching and dying, and fish and marine mammal species are undergoing radical shifts in their habitat and range as waters warm, driving most ambulatory animals toward the north and south poles.
Deadly storms, derechos, flash flooding, bomb cyclones, rapidly-forming hurricanes, severe/damaging hail, tornadoes in areas that had never before seen them: all these are creating vast swaths of human misery and costing hundreds of billions worldwide.
Given that the cost of the damages inflicted by climate change are so much higher than the profits the worldwide fossil fuel industry is making selling us their destructive products it’s surprising that more governments haven’t ended hydrocarbon subsidies and begun to directly bill these corporations for the climate change destruction their products are causing.
There’s a huge issue of economic and social justice associated with the climate crisis. The top 10 percent of the world, wealth-wise, produce fully 48 percent of the world’s emissions. The bottom half of humanity, wealth-wise, produces a mere 12 percent.
Yelling at poor people that they need to turn lights off (if they even have lights) and insulate their houses (when they have houses) will never have even a fragment of the impact that could be achieved by imposing a carbon tax on private jets, yachts, and mega-mansions.
Along those same lines, economists need to come up with new ways to model the health and success of societies and their economies that don’t rely only or even primarily on growth (as most do now). Instead, indices of sustainability and quality-of-life should be pushed front-and-center as alternatives to growth are developed and publicized.
Last year over 700 million people experienced chronic — regular, long-lasting — hunger, an uptick of over 100 million people over the previous two years. Driving this are climate extremes that are wiping out crops, failing soil exhausted by factory farming, and armed conflicts.
Producing a single pound of beef takes 1,700 gallons of water (compared with 39 gallons for a pound of vegetables): if everybody in America were to simply adopt “Meatless Mondays,” it would save the nation 70 million gallons of gas every year (“enough to fill up every car in Canada and Mexico and then some”) and free up an amount of land twice the size of Delaware.
It would also measurably reduce the rates of heart disease, stroke, cancer, and obesity. Cutting meat down to once a week or once a month — well within what human diets require — we’d have enough food left over to end world hunger while taking a bite out of climate change as well.
The fossil fuel industry would prefer we focus on talking about recycling, turning off lights, keeping our homes cool, and yelling at friends who fly for vacation. But the real power to change the future is in Congress and state houses across the country.
Making fossil fuels and meat more expensive (while subsidizing public transportation and healthy food for low-income people) is something that can only be done by government bodies, and will have a far greater impact than any amount of complaining or accusing people around their individual actions.
And there’s never been a better or more important time than now to join climate actions and lobby your elected representatives for large scale, long-term solutions to our fossil fuel addiction.
While nobody is exactly sure why we’ve hit this year of sudden anomalies, scientists are certain it’s a blinking red neon warning that we must change our course or suffer an unimaginable catastrophe. And we still have the tools to solve this crisis of our own making: we just have to use them before it’s too late.:ping::ping::ping::timeout:

Rapid intensification of hurricanes are not new or unheard of. Hurricane Otis broke a record for the area of the Eastern Pacific only. The cause of it wasn’t cow farts or man made. Otis ‘s rapid intensification was due to the key ingredients of a warm ocean and moist air, which when combined fuel convection forces at the storm’s center.

The unusual warmth of the ocean is due to the effects of El Niño. The source of El Niño’s warm ocean currents may be the result of interactions between earth's fluid systems (such as heat convection of magma, ocean current and atmosphere circulation) originating from a place referred to as the Hot Cradle where those mantle plumes, magma mix with ocean current and atmosphere circulation.

Nothing we can do about that.

Nor can we do anything about the sun becoming 17% brighter wiping out all mammalian life on earth in the next 150 million years. :D

On a more serious note. It’s expected that up to a G1 geomagnetic storm will reach earth on the 29th. If the skies are clear up north y’all should see a pretty nice light show in the night sky.

The G-scale used by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which rates the storm from G1 to G5 (i.e. G1, G2, G3, G4, G5 in order), where G1 is the weakest storm classification (corresponding to a Kp value of 5), and G5 is the strongest (corresponding to a Kp value of 9).

We are approaching the peak of solar maximum so I’d expect more storms. Especially with that big ol’ coronal hole facing us.

https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1jEXO3.img?w=768&h=512&m=6 A Russian physicist has proposed moving the Doomsday Clock away from midnight, citing the global community's forceful reaction in opposition to Russian nuclear threats following its February 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

Moscow-trained physicist Pavel Podvig, who in 1995 headed the Russian Strategic Nuclear Forces Research Project, wrote Thursday for the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists that the symbolic clock that measures cataclysmic fears and cautions of worldwide demise should be dialed down to reflect the strong global response to Russian rhetoric.

On January 24, the Chicago-based nonprofit Atomic Scientists—composed of experts in the fields of nuclear risk, climate change, disruptive technologies and bioterrorism—moved the clock closer to midnight based on perceived nuclear tensions. The change to 90 seconds from 100 seconds represented the "closest to global catastrophe it has ever been."

Moving the clock 10 seconds closer to midnight was "largely, though not exclusively, because of the mounting dangers in the war in Ukraine," the Science and Security Board of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists explained at the time.

Prior to January, the clock remained at 100 seconds to midnight since 2020.

Podvig said the decision was correct at the time, writing that Russia "brought the nuclear risk to an entirely new level" with its invasion of Ukraine, which instantly garnered global attention and escalated fears of another World War.

He said Russia was responsible for keeping such fears in the mainstream, based on both rhetoric and policy decisions—such as its suspended participation in the Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms, also known as the New START treaty.

In 2011, Russia and the United States agreed to a 10-year commitment that neither nation be allowed to deploy more than 1,550 strategic nuclear warheads. The agreement was extended an additional five years in 2021, though Russian President Vladimir Putin announced this past February that his nation's involvement was being put on hold.

Russia and the U.S. possess roughly 90 percent of the total global nuclear stockpile.

"From the very first day of the war, Russia made no secret of counting on its nuclear weapons to ensure that nobody would come to Ukraine's rescue," Podvig wrote. "Western countries have offered massive help to Ukraine anyway, making the prospect of a direct confrontation with Russia more real than it has been for decades. The Clock had to reflect this development."

But he now suggests, over 20 months into the Russia-Ukraine conflict, that the clock should again be moved back. He cites the strong response in opposition, not only by national bureaucrats but also by the general public.

No response was arguably more ardent than that of the nations involved in composing a statement against Russian nuclear aggression in June 2022 as part of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons held in Vienna.

"We are alarmed and dismayed by threats to use nuclear weapons and increasingly strident nuclear rhetoric," reads the statement in part. "We stress that any use or threat of use of nuclear weapons is a violation of international law, including the Charter of the United Nations.

"We condemn unequivocally any and all nuclear threats, whether they be explicit or implicit and irrespective of the circumstances.

Though the statement never mentioned Russia by name, Podvig argues that its omission provided a universal stance not against just one country but against the general use of nuclear weapons as a whole.

Similar declarations followed, including G20 leaders meeting in November 2022 in Bali and collectively referring to "the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons [as] inadmissible."

Podvig says the threshold for the use of any nuclear weapons is high "and rightly so" as the biggest factor to its detriment is the global agreement that nuclear weapons' integral use is to kill people.

"To ensure that nuclear weapons are never used again, world leaders and the public should first recognize the role of the consolidated, universal opposition to nuclear threats, acknowledge this opposition, and make sure it endures," he said.

"The Doomsday Clock is well positioned to do so. By moving its hands backward the next time it is set, even if a little, this message can be sent clearly and forcefully."Jeeze!!! 10 extra seconds...from a Russian??!!:Kaleun_Los::nope::dead:

A filament eruption yesterday launched an asymmetrical full halo coronal mass ejection towards our planet. The cloud of solar plasma is expected to arrive late on 11 November. Minor (G1) to moderate (G2) geomagnetic storm conditions are expected once the CME passes Earth.

CORONAL HOLE ALERT! CORONAL HOLE ALERT! CORONAL HOLE ALERT!

A large coronal hole has just appeared over the E limb close to the equator (dark area). In about a week (assuming it survives) it will move into a geoeffective position and high-speed solar wind from it will likely impact the Earth causing geomagnetic storms.

https://i.postimg.cc/CxPhkZsB/IMG-3207.jpg

The strength of our magnestosphere is down 25% due to the pole shift in progress. The grid is absolutely NOT prepared to take a major CME. Even IF a bit of work has been done to protect power plants and some power substations or trunk lines, it won't matter much because EVERY electric wire and circuit on Earth will fry.

With the excellerated weakening of the magnetosphere a CME of only moderate strength which would have had no real impact 10 years ago could send us into the realm of mad max. What happens on the Sun has a huge impact on all of the atmospheric layers and the Earth's crust.

Several news outlets have reported that the Earth may be hit by a "lost" asteroid this year. According to the reports, if asteroid 2007 FT3 were to hit Earth it would do so with the equivalent energy of 2.6 billion tons of TNT, NASA has lost track of it, and it has a chance of hitting the planet on October 5, 2024. So, given that that all sounds (to use a technical term) "not great", what is really going on?

Well, the NOAA has set condition G4. There's a sun spot that's fifteen times wider than the Earth and growing. We're approaching Solar Maximum. There have been three major Coronal Mass Ejections of late, and the emissions from those CMEs will be reaching Earth starting this evening. The Aurora Borealis will be visible in much of the northern hemisphere, and the Aurora Australis will be visible in the southern hemisphere.

We could be headed for a Carrington Event like the one that occurred in 1859, when telegraph offices caught fire across the country. Only now we're dependent on cell phones, computers, GPS and other satellite services, motor vehicles full of electronics, aircraft, and the electrical grid. So the impact of such an event would be significantly more intense than it was in 1859. You could kiss all that stuff goodbye.

It's possible that tonight we're going to party like it's 1699. Nobody really knows what to expect. Imagine what it would be like in major cities if tonight everything that uses electricity burst into flames. No power. No vehicles, No police or EMS. No cell phones. No computers. No GPS. Etcetera. I'm glad that I live out in the middle of nowhere and have horses.

Anyway, tonight's the night. There's your doom porn for the day.

Just got an alert: “CME IMPACT IMMENENT…”. Two more on the way. Earth will be messy during the next 5 days or so with geomagnetic storms conditions up to severe G4 geomagnetic storm level expected.

Coronal mass ejection impact imminent

The first of the anticipated coronal mass ejections has arrived at STEREO Ahead, a satellite slightly closer to the Sun than DSCOVR. The impact has been significant there with a maximum interplanetary magnetic field Bt value of 41nT and a minimum Bz value of -33nT at the time of writing. If we see similar values at Earth (which we should) this is certainly going to cause a significant geomagnetic storm where severe G4 geomagnetic storm conditions (Kp8) are absolutely possible! Charge your camera batteries and keep an eye on the data right here on the SpaceWeatherLive website or download our app from your Android or iOS store. This could become one of the strongest geomagnetic storms of this Solar Cycle with aurora visible from many locations in central Europe this evening!

Two more earth-directed coronal mass ejections

Sunspot region 3664 continues its old trick today of being a major flare producer. Since our news article yesterday it produced two more eruptive X-class events. One being the X1.1 event mentioned at the end of yesterday's news article and today's largest event thus far was an eruptive X3.9 solar flare which peaked at 06:53 UTC. Both of these events were eruptive and launched asymmetrical halo coronal mass ejections into space which also have an earth-directed component. Due to the location of sunspot region 3664, the bulk of these CMEs are directed towards the south-west but we do expect these to arrive at Earth as well.

That means there are now six, yes six, coronal mass ejections that have a good chance to pass our planet in the days ahead. It will likely be impossible to tell them apart but space weather at Earth is going to be messy during the next 5 days or so with geomagnetic storm conditions up to the severe G4 geomagnetic storm level expected.

It was measured as an X8.7 flare, significantly stronger than the ones emitted last week. The light released by the event was so energetic, released in the extreme ultraviolet, that it ionized the top of the atmosphere. This in turn caused a radio blackout over the Americas, which would affect planes and ships that rely on signals below 30 MHz.

https://www.livescience.com/space/alien-civilizations-are-probably-killing-themselves-from-climate-change-bleak-study-suggests It may take less than 1,000 years for an advanced alien civilization to destroy its own planet with climate change, even if it relies solely on renewable energy, a new model suggests.

When astrophysicists simulated the rise and fall of alien civilizations, they found that, if a civilization were to experience exponential technological growth and energy consumption, it would have less than 1,000 years before the alien planet got too hot to be habitable. This would be true even if the civilization used renewable energy sources, due to inevitable leakage in the form of heat, as predicted by the laws of thermodynamics. The new research was posted to the preprint database arXiv and is in the process of being peer-reviewed.

While the astrophysicists wanted to understand the implications for life beyond our planet, their study was initially inspired by human energy use, which has grown exponentially since the 1800's. In 2023, humans used about 180,000 terawatt hours (TWh), which is roughly the same amount of energy that hits Earth from the sun at any given moment. Much of this energy is produced by gas and coal, which is heating up the planet at an unsustainable rate. But even if all that energy were created by renewable sources like wind and solar power, humanity would keep growing, and thus keep needing more energy.BOTTOM LINE: The reason we don't hear from aliens is because they're already dead!

The Preble is the only U.S. destroyer armed with a high-energy laser weapon, the High Energy Laser with Integrated Optical-dazzler and Surveillance (HELIOS), which can fire laser beams to destroy fast attack craft and drones.he Office of the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E), the principal official and adviser to the U.S. Secretary of Defense on operational and live fire test and evaluation activities involving weapons systems, released the photo in its annual report last Friday.

The black and white picture shows a bright laser beam being fired from the Preble during a demonstration at sea to verify and validate the "functionality, performance, and capability" of the HELIOS against a drone.

It was not clear when and where exactly the weapon demonstration took place. According to the report, it was one of the 32 countermeasures tests conducted in Fiscal Year 2024, which ended on September 30 last year, a few days after the Preble left San Diego for Yokosuka.
The Preble's 60-kilowatt laser weapon can work as a dazzler to "blind" the intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) sensors mounted on drones. Furthermore, it can provide long-range ISR capability for combat identification and battle damage assessment. A laser uses energy fired at the speed of light, which could be less expensive per shot and has virtually unlimited firing power in comparison with traditional defensive ship-based weapons like missiles, making it an ideal option to counter the relatively low-cost drones.
The Preble was spotted leaving Yokosuka on January 13 and returned on Monday. Photos released by the U.S. Navy showed it was underway in the North Pacific Ocean, the Philippine Sea, and the East China Sea during that period.At least I'm ready for it!!??:arrgh!: https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=815&pictureid=13459
