fuck off the diabetics
Ma was there during carrington event
That’s old old
that isnt social darwinism dawg
we know the sun goes through certain cycles but we lack the data to understand if there aren't larger cycles, say every 10k or 100k yrs
they also aren't that extreme
fascist state when?
we have a handful of datapoints at best when it comes to understanding something with a life cycle of 8 billion yrs
depends on hydrogen depletions, which are not measured down to our degree of time, save for billions
+/-
it's pretty arrogant to think that just cause things have been calm for 2k/4bil, things will always be calm
exactly
too many variables at the moment, we have around months predictions then- woooop: thousands++++ years
can't get them to acknowledge that; they see a handful of datapoints and think they cannot possibly be looking at a miniscule piece of a much larger picture
@Coolitic do you know they have recently been able to predict earthquakes from examining solar activity?
why?
YEah I know this
well, it is good to predict earthquakes; that is why
how is another question
I'm interested in the mechanism
well the moon already is a variable
the point is that the sun effects the earth in a way that is connected to earthquakes
?
so if the sun DOES have periods of abnormal activity, it wouldn't just result in radiation
Corrolation does not mean causation.
HOWEVER
Corrolation can be a reliable predicator.
oh, I thought you meant that by examining solar activity, we can use that information to better understand earthquakes
not that the sun *causes* earthquakes
yes, true; coorelation is not causality. however, only an idiot ignore correlation when they don't UNDERSTAND the cause
correlation is cause for inspection
agreed
What do we have to lose?
Potentially everything, how much of a sitting duck do you feel like being today?
well, the speculation or postulating a theory in the absence of a direct cause only can be correlated with other effects elsewhere; like say on the moon and on Venus
True science is not concerned about the "everything" in this scenario. Worst case scenario, you lose some grant money..
if you find evidence that 'something' who knows what happens every 10k yrs or so on venus, and the moon and on earth... you can narrow down the cause pretty quickly
especially if venus showed signs of geological activity 10k yrs ago
I would not be surprised of it hasn't already in our lifetimes, just not measured properly.
it's just an excercise in looking for patterns and seeing when to use supposition and when to used hard evidence
the odds that civilization is only 4k or so yrs old is slim at best given the planet is covered by 75% ocean, much of the ocean floor still unseen
Not entirely on board with the implication but yes. It's a vast unexplored
