The sun. Smooth and round and peaceful. Except when it suddenly vomits radiation and plasma in random directions. These solar flares and coronal mass ejections, or CMEs can hit earth and have serious consequences for humanity.
How exactly do they work, how bad could they be and can we prepare for them?

Hello
Loving the animations!
2020 finds this video very interesting
hello, i have been watching for over 4 years.....
keep on making awesome vids
:)
Hello :)
Kurzgesagt in a nutshell: [Deadly thing]: Can this destroy humanity? *happy intro music plays*
Only humans acting like savages as they all have these last week, & a half can destroy humanity as they burn, & destroy everything in their path.
Manuel Tubens i know lol
They can't just change the intro music to match their subject
@@trollsing I know but it's still funny lol
This video is sponsored by: you
I love how Kurzgesagt always makes you feel like the earth is going to be destroyed and then they tell you nah its prob fine
Sounds like something weve heard all before.
@@ljr8819
The media does this all the time.
His channel makes me feel like I'm in science class once again
While media loves to stop before the "nah it's prob fine" part ๐
N
I love how most videos make a reference to how fragile humanity is, can't deny that its true, we really are fragile pieces of glass that could break any second. Yet, I love how it always ends with a positive note, either its something that's not in our hands anymore or other human beings are well aware of these events, so that they can be prevented. In the end, the entire universe will one day go into eternal sleep, yet before that I hope we can get to a certain type of civilization and make more discoveries about our beautiful universe before we all part.
The author of the video is extremely naive. Watch the movie "Don't Look Up". Until the US Congress makes a decision, the United States will be stuck in the Stone Age.
There is this really cool game called โThe Long Darkโ, where you have to survive in the northern Canadian wilderness after a geomagnetic storm sapped your planeโs battery. Itโs a really fun game but since the geomagnetic storm would be a worldwide event it could be considered a post apocalyptic game. But unlike a lot of post apocalyptic games you get to SEE The apocalypse.
The world: *is about to end*
Engineers: โHave you tried turning it off and back on again?โ
Good one ๐๐คฃ
Very much not wrong in this context ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Lol
iPhone users: have you tried rice?
I literally repeat that 100x a day when I was the admin at my school's computer lab lol
Me: "I'm tired of crisis after crisis! I want to see a little peace for once!"
*Kurzgesagt uploads a doomsday scenario.*
"Alright. But just one more!"
Lol
IKR... he's like you thought Covid-19 was bad, wait until solar hurricane hits us :)
XD
*a solar hurricane narrowly misses earth in 2012*
So that's where the whole *end of the world* thing came from
Makes sence
No, the whole thing was that the Mayan calendar supposedly ended in 2012 so that's what started the whole thing
3:38 How does it travel in less than a day? A day happens when light reaches the earth and according to Einsteinโs, there is nothing faster than light. So wouldnโt that solar flare be breaking the fundamental laws of science?
@@-petrichor-7263 I think you're confusing the speed of light with the earths rotation. A day has nothing to do with the speed of light, a day is simply how long it takes the earth to do a full rotation on it's own axis. The plasma travels 150 million kilometres in less than a day. So to show the units better, 150,000,000km/day is the speed of the plasma, the speed of light is 2,590,000,000,000km/day so no laws are being broken here.
It takes aroung 8 minutes for light from the sun to reach the earth for reference - which has nothing to do with our definition of a 'day'.
@@lawrencesmeaton6930 Thanks, I was just a stupid kid when typing that comment.
Knowing the average human, some people and countries would likely just refuse to unplug during a super storm scenario and suffer the dire consequences
yes
Hold on America, I have to get to the next save point
@@calmiken People are joking and thinking the one coming now is fake. It is not going to be anything horrible but it showing what can happen. It is just sad some people think NASA is fake and nothing like this could ever happen. At least we have science watching out for us.
Hopefully they unplug the generators at the source so average people wouldn't make decisions for themselves. Could be some fires otherwise..

Cannot overstate the deep level of quality this channel delivers with.
One big question: how prepared do we need to be?
There is like a %12 chance of a big solar flare happening in the next years. And astronomers think it is most likely to happen in 2025 summer. Scientist will have a day or two after they notice the exact time. The best preparation possible is to shut down the main electricity, if you don't want your devices fried shut down all the house electricity and use tin foil to protect devices with batteries like phones, tablets, laptops... if enough people get prepared and gov shuts down the main thing in time we will probably survive it with no worst scenario... Unlike those pessimistic idiots in comments believing no matter what we do we die, with these done we are not doomed...
@@MAWasHere porfin alguien que entiende
What they mean by prepared is by continued monitoring, and more importantly to have the energy grid given the upgrades mentioned in the video. Right now our grid does not have such protection, and while it won't send us back 100 years, if said protections are added then we could probably just go one day even and then back to normal
@@justinh6651 What do you mean by going back one day? I mean, if one comes, we'll die and then we can fix it or something else?
And a solar storm could physically hurt us to the point of death?
_THE SUN IS A DEADLY LAZER_
Earth: ๐ตNot anymore there's a blanket!๐ต
a good dose of bill wurtz never hurts
_THE SUN IS NOW A DANGEROUS DEADLY LAZER, ADAPTED TO GO THROUGH OUR BLANKET_
@PG Guy Adventures Lol.

Thank you for that little bit of serotonin and dopamine.
Kurzgesagt is always like
"Don't ever forget that you are less than nothing in a universe of wonder and you could die in any second. Anyway, we love you, hope you have a nice day โฅ๏ธ"
Yeah
So true, i don't know how to feel, if happy or depressed
Jhony I feel purple
Jhony why not both at the same time
@@someoneinparticular yeah why not?
A wise man once said "the sun is a deadly laser"
not anymore, there's a blanket~~
โ@@johnh5364 that blanket is probably not gonna be enough to survive a CME
@@johnh5364 Not to mention the magnetosphere is continuing to weaken as the poles are getting ready to flip. It's already weakened 10% or more since the Carrington Event and some scientists are saying that as we approach the flip a CME could potentially unlock the Earth's crust causing significantly rapid continental drift and giant tsunamis. While what they are spraying above us, CaCO3 or better nano-particle aluminum oxide, will absorb electromagnetic energy, it's just buying us time. Mother nature is right on time with her 12,000 year cycle. While I don't think humanity will go extinct, I doubt there will be 8 billion people on the planet after this. Finally, if governments around the world knew there was a 90% chance that this would happen in the next two decades do you really think they would tell us? I hope to God none of us ever lives to witness a mass extinction event but sadly they have happened. Be safe. Peace.
We just had two large solar storms on March and April 23rd. Auroras visible as far south as Texas and Arizona! I photographed a beautiful red/magenta glow just 30min north of Las Vegas.
Thankfully, impacts to the grid were minimal.

And here we are today facing a 5% chance of this happening with a sunspot pointed directly at us.
It means a solar flare not a coronal mass ejection
@@LeBaldo I assume by 'it', you're referring to that news. The 5% was for an X-class event like Carrington, which increasing percentages for smaller events.

This man is the master of making us scared, just to tell us that we will probably be fine.
I will if that's what you want to hear. Just don't let the small things scare you like--"living life" with a purpose. We have had many extinction-level events before. People just don't want to talk about these things. Dying is easy--but it's living life with a purpose, a path, and a calling--that stomps most people. Most people go through life just merely bumping into one another and when too many people start bumping into one another, then people start to clash with one another.
Imagine having a blackout for over 5 years while being quarantined
Up to 90% of US population will die of starvation, especially urban and suburban. Average food from farms travels 1600 miles before reaching consumers. Only pockets of people who'd survive are rural population who can grow their own food self sufficiently. Or extremely rich people in underground bunkers with 5 years worth of food.

Because everyone has a large plot of land where they know how to farm.
@@user-up3dd1vw6b This isn't really true because they never said anything about how it would effect the transportation system. I think shortages of food are likely but mass starvation not so.

Great video. We all strive for financial independence and better life. Itโs not difficult in achieving this through the right investment, living frugally, and budgeting. Iโm glad I learned early in life to work hard for financial freedom
In my opinion, venturing into a good investment is not just a strategy for generating passive income but a profitable saving method for future expenses. Those who fail to make the right decisions early in life end up regretting it. Nevertheless, investing can be difficult and risky doing it solely, For this reason, I advise seeking help from professionals(financial advisors). Itโs not just watching videos and reading investment books the challenge is using them well.
@@harrisonjamie794 sincerely, Iโm truly inspired by your words. Iโm very interested in investing and I have got a good sum of money which Iโm ready to put in with the right information. My biggest fear is losing my money on the wrong investment. For this reason, Iโm willing to listen to your suggestions and ideas on how to invest wisely.
@@MarcelPhilips As an OAP with a lot of experience, I firmly believe that the success of any investment depends on having the right information, regardless of what others say, do whatever you set your mind to. Warren Buffer always says "be greedy when others are fearful and be fearful when others are greedy". This is certainly the trick to succeeding even when others fail. I made $100,000 working with MARTHA ALONSO HARA a licensed financial adviser . Itโs been a promising experience so far with her.

Thank you so much for all the research and proper credits. I was having trouble of how I should make a very important ppt.
Kurzgesagt: "The sun: Smooth and round and peaceful."
The description of a thing that is basically a gigantic, many billion year-old, continual explosion in space.
An explosion that occasionally randomly throws magnetic explosions about.
The sun is just a constant nuclear explosion kept from exploding outward by it's own massive gravity.
The wonders of scale and distance. What appears as nuclear warfare if you zoom in close enough might not be more than a purulent pimple in "normal" scales. Imaging the unbearable, cataclysmic horror of an aphid colony getting hit by a water droplet.
Now tell me: what is this gigantic, many billion year-old, continual explosion in space that we call "sun" compared to Laniakea, if not a single dot of insignificance? Everything is enormous and tiny at the same time. There is no absolute meaning to these notions.
You make the sun seem an eldritch creature
Technically fusion is more close to a implosion that generates ridiculous amounts of energy. So much energy that a thermonuclear bomb, for example, heats the air of the impact area so much it violently expands and effectively explodes, but the bomb itself doesn't.
Explosions are most common in chemical reactions, and although stars DO eject mass as well, that happens on the event of a Supernova, or, like the video shows, a Solar Wind (however, the brute of the mass ejected in Solar Winds don't reach us).
"Oh my god a massive solar flare is heading towards Earth what are we gonna do?!"
"Have you tried turning Earth off and on again?"
Well, you are technically right
@@mureithikivuti the best kind of correctness

Caiรฃ Wlodarski Field day for the conspiracy theories.
There was also an event that year that almost happened that would have caused a mega tsunami event. An asteroid broke apart and was slated to hit a fault line in the sea that was predicted to cause a certain volcanic island to erupt in turn causing a piece of its land mass to fall into the sea in turn causing a larger displacement wave in turn devastating much of the world's economy.
Thankfully, the rotation of the earth is actually not fixed. Earthquakes can cause slight changes to the length of a day, extremely slight, but enough to throw off calculations like this such that the fault line wasn't impacted as predicted and the mega tsunami never happened.
That being said, volcano is passed due for another eruption. The last time it erupted a Chasm formed oh, but the islands didn't fall into the sea. Next time it erupts it might fall into the sea. Or it might not. We don't really know exactly when that will happen.
still, imagine if we got hit with a solar storm this year while all this other stuff is going on and then while people are dealing with a shut down power grid and are unable to receive Communications a mega tsunami wave hits destroying the entire east coast of the United States and the entire west coast of Europe. not saying that's likely, in fact it's extremely unlikely, but it would be a very bad day.
no, you didn't.

In fact there was a calendar change where we accidentally zoomed back 8 years, meaning that it was actually supposed to happen in 2020, which probably would have been the end of the world back then.

I thought I had a decent general background in this, but your presentation, despite being aimed at a layman, really helped solidify my understanding. It's not easy to make explanations that can be followed by anyone, but also actually hit the mark from the perspective of those with more knowledge. Well done guys :-)
odd flex, but ok
