last week we spotted red aurora in Belgium. Possibly from the coronal mass expulsion from a solar flare that cause the september heat wave? It was observed as a static persistent ball-like shape with a very strong glow, not a wavy set of moving rays. My mother saw it but didn't realize it at first. She lives near flower green house farms who project orange glow on the clouds at night, so she thought that perhaps a new farm had started. Only, she said, this glow was _much_ brighter, and more pink/reddish than the other farms. The fact that she thought this, suggests that the glow must have been there in the same location, shape and size for multiple hours. I don't know how the shape would form, but the description of a crucifix suggests also that it was a static and lasting appearance, which would support the aurora theory. Or it was the starship Enterprise that warped into hyperspace... X"D

The 1859 Carrington event took out telegraph systems because the telegraph used unshielded metal wires stretched across many miles. It also used the ground as a return path for the telegraph signals. This combination of long metallic conductors and the use of the earth itself as a signal conductor made the telegraph highly susceptible to disruption by a geomagnetic event. The internet, by comparison, is almost entirely made up of optical fiber cables which use light instead of electricity and are unperturbed by geomagnetic disturbances. The only place where electricity is used is at end points, which are relatively small and can be hardened. I don’t expect the internet to be affected much by a solar event. The power grid is much more likely to be affected, but even then the effects can be expected to be relatively minor compared with the Carrington event, since power systems are much more robust than the telegraph of 1959.

I wonder if these events could be explained by a combination of features, like, how do they line up with the pole shifts? It could be that these insane events are a result of multiple things going wrong at once, like receiving a massive solar flare at a point in time when the magnetic field has weakened and is in the process of shifting, leaving the planet more open to high energy particle bombardment than usual.

@@Polaris_Videosthe 5410 or 5259 BCE events could be tied to many creation events as well. In Asian culture the Three Legged Crow (Sanzuwu in Chinese, Yatagarasu in Japanese, and Samjogo in Korea) have much to do with those creation stories. In Korean culture there is a stone totem of the Three Legged Crow with a complete halo and dates as far back as 5000 BCE. This suggests an earth directed Miyake Event. In European neolithic times, the Treskelion (Three Legs) is prominent in those creation myths. In North America, especially the Cherokee "First Fire" story, a crow brings fire to the world. This resembles the Lenape tribe's "Rainbow Crow" story too, however this last story cannot be confirmed.

It didn’t get much TV or news because it was the year of the 911 happening and was pushed to the side due to that and probably so as not to inform the populace of a probable threat to their whole lives if one occurred in a strength that would harm unhardened electric power stations across the US ? I haven’t seen any work on them. Only Washington and their bunkers , plus military . I’ve read of a study done for vehicles. They found that if a vehicle was not running at the time of an EMP or CME that there is less likelihood of damage, but if they are, there was a good chance of damage to sensors and vehicles turning off while driving or sitting with engines on. Semi trucks had a higher percentage of damages. Older vehicles without all of the electronics were fine. 1970 or before. I don’t think car manufacturers are working on that, only military vehicles. So, we’ll have a military presence, but I don’t think there is enough to keep order. Don’t you feel they would round up the public in concentrated areas to try and keep anarchy down. Still, it couldn’t be very humane existence. Best that people know how to take care of themselves through growing food themselves, although they would have to protect their own environment around them due to others not knowing or being able to be self sufficient.

According to some credible estimates roughly every 11 years there is about a 12% probability of a carrington level or greater event. If I'm optimistic with how long I'll live, like assuming medical advancements and whatnot, then there is roughly a 47% chance one of these will hit in my lifetime. I'm 40 and being optimistic in my assumption that I'll live to like 95yo. Someone half my age could realistically make that assumption and could say they have roughly a ~68% chance of one hitting in their lifetime, and there is about a 95% probability that there will be one that hits within the lifetime of the grand children of the people who are roughly 20yo now.

To overcome this the return signal amplification increases with signal delay time. The return signal is inherently weak, and induced current noise would overwhelm the return signal in a Carrington event. Even near the runway, the aluminium tube of the aircraft would have an induced electrical field : the experience of the telegraph operators in the Carrington event shows it would induce sufficient electrical energy to cause signal failure.

I'm not sure where to go with this info but as soon as I have it perfected, I'll make it public somehow for the safety of our human race. Thanks for the awesome video! #newsubscriber

My first thought about the crucifix would be a red sprite type event but it probably would have had to last a lot longer. Perhaps it is some sort of geological event like volcanic activity that released a very large amount of radon gas or uranium dust? That could have created a volcanic storm and red sprites could have been seen in an unusually large amount from the lightning activity. This could explain why it was only observed in Europe and only for 1 day. It could also explain the serpents snaking out, not an aurora event but very large lighting arches.

The fact that people that were non the wiser recorded stellar or cataclysmic events that we now can study is absolutely fantastic. I was overjoyed (in a way) when I found out that mount Tambora's explosion led to the creation not only of Frankenstein, but of Dracula too through Polidori's "The Vampire", written in that same evening. Finding out that we can know when a supernova took place because it was seen by different clueless-about-it people around the world and recorded for us to find about it is... just mindblowing

Excellent Report! What about the 'irregular' cross- section circumference of the trees, why not just circular? Moreover, surely the North, South, East and West factors are as important to understanding growth in relation to the direction of Cosmic forces and geographic events?

We know the main factors that cause tree trunk cross-sections to deviate from circular. One of the main factors is reaction wood growth. Reaction wood is high density wood that grows on a particular side of a tree to resist forces like prevailing wind pressures. The tree responds to pressure that would bend or tip it over by concentrating growth on whichever side it needs to resist the pressure. Also, a tree growing underneath the canopy must grow in whatever direction it needs to reach the best light, so it must grow towards open parts of the canopy. The necessity to grow in a leaning direction also causes it to develop reaction wood in order to support itself against the pull of gravity. There are other similar issues involved. I can't think of any model by which the cosmic radiation factors discussed in this video would induce asymmetric growth. I'm pretty sure that examination of the issue would show no correlation between cross-section shape and radiation factors, simply because deviation in shape is so variable within any given age class of trees at a given site that this data noise would massively drown out any relevant signal. I say this as a former forest data collection technician.

Wow, subbed! Fantastic delivery of the information. Proven or not, it was highly intriguing, as well as entertaining. Not many content creators these days can present a speculative, yet unbiased hypothesis, and have it not misrepresented as a proposed objective fact, nor an emotion driven counter narrative. Documentaries made in this style, are debatably the most effective at presenting a hybrid content of both subjective theory and established science. I feel many docs were made this way prior to the 2000s but lost popularity ever since, as society grew to value dramatics and entertainment, rather than videos that inspire drive for research in the viewer or promote thought experiments among the free thinkers. I hope you continue making content like this!

If we're lucky it won't affect the satellites too much, but if it were to affect anything with thrust capabilities and sends it on a different path we might have a problem, one we might not even know is happening until debris starts falling. The fibre lines won't be as affected so the broader internet might be up quicker than we might expect, but I doubt entertainment services will be priority for the first month at least. The social problems are the most dangerous. If every network and everything with power dies, people will run to steal food and supplies, and even attempt to get fuel without the pumps working, which could end with spills and explosions. If this situation does happen, keep calm, carry on, and work to help your community as much as possible, cause us humans are sustained by society. We might lose the skies but as long as we stick together and don't freak the fuck out, we'll be okay.

This is very unlikely but the red crucifix could have been the result of a combination of the red aurora and the southern crux constellation.😅 Albeit, due to the precession of the Earth's pole, the constellation hasn't risen above the horizon in some parts of the northern night sky since 400 CE. But certain factors could have allowed people in southern England to see the crux constellation 1248 years ago. Facing south during spring, when the big dipper is highest in the sky, the Crux would be highest on the horizon for certain northern latitutes. This is a huge stretch because england is in the 50 degrees latitude and during 774 CE, it would probably have been difficult/impossible to see it even in areas of 40 degrees lat without an advatange of elevation. But it still makes me wonder if it could have been seen standing on the peak of High Willhays or looking over the ocean on most southern area west of Plymouth in 774.

Couldn't the higher amount of carbon-14 be caused by a big volcano eruption, launching a huge amount of carbon-12 into the upper atmosphere, where it would have less protection from cosmic radiation being that high, it would have pumped some extra electrons into the carbon-12 and turned it into carbon-14, which then over months was partially absorbed by the trees and therefore showed up in their annular growth rings? Or was this caused by some external cosmic event or maybe both happening simultaneously?

@@Polaris_Videos I'm an electronics engineer, so I self admit that I'm far from a layman on radiation and isotopes, but I understand the concepts. I just need to sometimes troubleshoot and debug hardware and software, so I have done quite the amount of logical thinking of measuring behavior and then trying to logic out the underlying reasons why such behavior could happen. If in case carbon-14 shows higher concentrations in the tree rings when massive volcano eruptions have happened, it could also be that the environment beneath the earth's mantle, in the molten soup is violent and hot enough that the conditions allow carbon-14 to be formed (assuming it is created from carbon-12 and there just isn't a boatload of carbon-14 existing in there in the first place that gets ejected). Second big question is also, is cosmic radiation even capable of turning carbon-12 to carbon-14 if it's available in the upper atmosphere and less protected. And if it is possible, could another cosmic event than what our sun could make, increase the amount of carbon-12 turning into carbon-14.

A Myake event with 12 times the power of a Carrington event would have far longer reaching effects on our modern society than you assume in the video. For one thing, simply "powering down" systems would NOT prevent them being badly damaged or even destroyed by such an event as the effect of an EMP (which is what this is) induces massive generated currents in any conductive material *irrespective of them being powered on or not*. Switch off your flat-panel TV and disconnect it from the mains and the electronic circuits will still have current induced and be fried - it will not be repairable. Multiply that across the globe with every computer system on the planet and you have a disaster it might take decades to recover from if at all. Also, let's not forget that the Earths' magnetic field is much weaker than it was in 1859 and therefore offers considerably less protection from this type of threat. If it happens, it will not be fun....

We just had a volcano erupt last year, about equal to the Mount Tambora eruption, perhaps even larger. But this one was underwater. So instead of having the effect of cooling, it is actually heating our planet. Instead of rock and ash being flung up into our atmosphere, it was gas and water vapor. And instead of stopping the light/heat from entering, it is allowing it in but not allowing it out. This year was the year without a winter. With me being able to go out in shorts on Christmas day. I have never, in my 44 years of life, ever had such a warm winter.

20:37 - in case of a large cme eruption, which can be caused by a cloud of gas striking the surface of the sun - ie a very large plasma filament - it can be off from the colar cycles, also the cme will be less dense, more widespread and can create massive geomagnetic storms and red auroras in the lower lattitudes. in the meantime, the arrival of the cme may produce "sun dogs" - cross-shaped halos, mostly seen in the mountains with a sediment in the air or high moisture. both of these combined will create a sky-wide red rucufix with burning aurorae, making even more sophisticated people fall to their knees. For a space weatherman, this story is very entertaining. The magnetic matrix of the solar system on the exact day would be nice to analyze - there are massive and slow cme's in the solar calm periods, created by induced currents when specific planets pass by and their fields interact with the sun's solar wind systemic sheet, or matrix.

Very well presented. The thing I find most intriguing about 'Miyake events' is that if a 'Carrington event' can produce such startling Aurora and a seemingly far more powerful 'Miyake event' is somewhat similar in origin then why are there no credible records? A nearby supernova might cause a C14 spike without such visible results, but as noted there are no reports of 'guest stars', no known candidates found today, and none of the other tell-tale consequences of a nearby-ish supernova. It's all very perplexing, making one wonder what possibilities we might be wholly unaware of.

The Carrington event may have been as much as an X80, which with our magnetosphere having waned approximately 25% in the last two decades, would be more than ample to bring civilization as we know it to a screeching halt. The research papers I’ve read indicate that our sun is capable of flares almost two orders of magnitude in excess of the Carrington event, so as dire as that event might seem, it is insignificant in terms of of overall solar potential, and easily within the ranges postulated for Miyaki events. There is no reason to think that a “nearby” supernova might be responsible for these events when our own star is more than ample, and when the unimaginable distances to nearby stars make the output of one, even as a supernova, so dispersed that its effects would be negligible, so I’m not buying that idea. As for the internet, a Carrington-level or higher event at present would have the potential of inducing such voltage into standing wiring that it would not only bring down every grid on earth, destroy every satellite, but cause millions of structure fires. Imagine living in Detroit or L.A. or Chicago three days after everything, electricity, water, sewer, food delivery, and so on, disappeared… loss of the internet would be the very least of our problems.
