Unable to limit storms from 2012

In 2012, an extremely powerful Sun storm will attack Earth. In front of the harsh phenomenon of this universe, people cannot do anything to limit it. Scientists have not yet made predictions to minimize damage.

This is a warning given by scientists from the US National Science Institute. This storm was also noticed by Vietnamese scientists and said that Vietnam was not outside the influence of the storm

Solar storms cause magnetic storms

Dr. Nguyen Dinh Noan, former head of the Department of Physics, Vinh University said: 'Calling the solar storm because in the sun's heart there is a heat-burning reaction that always radiates energy (like a pot of boiling water, increasing heat, water will flare up, release). At strong activity, the sun has many dark spots and there are explosions'.

Then there is a stream of electrons, protons, some light atomic nuclei moving to create electric current. When going to earth, making the earth's magnetic field change. While on earth, all things have electricity, it will make the earth appear a touch line. At this time, the three lines: the Earth's magnetic field, the Earth's magnetic induction field and the magnetic field of the charged particles flow from the sun on each other, causing the magnet needle to always change, a phenomenon known as a storm. from.

Master Phan Van Dong, astrophysicist, vice chairman of Vietnam Astronomical Society, added: 'Every 11 years will come the period of strong sun activity, the peak of the previous cycle in 2000, so 2012 will have a solar storm '. Astronomers and astronomers also warn, this is a very strong storm and can not accurately predict the time of the landing of the solar storm when attacking the Earth.

Dangerous for health, economic damage

In terms of the harmful effects of solar storms, scientists believe that this storm could cut off the supply of electricity and phone waves, causing paralysis of satellite devices and affecting human health.'Particle radiation changes radio waves, causing automatic circuit breakdowns of control devices of power transmission lines, machines that operate automatically on satellites. Next they will enter the atmosphere, change the ion layer, affect the ozone layer, penetrate deep into the atmosphere causing skin cancer, increase cardiovascular and neurological diseases' , master Phan Van Dong stressed.

According to Dr. Noon, there has been a storm phenomenon from damaging Canada's long electric system over 33km. Traffic communication and control system stopped working, greatly affecting the world economy. And the more industrialized countries with strong electricity networks and modern life support systems are more and more affected. But that does not mean that undeveloped countries are not affected.

Space-based satellite devices will "suffer the first battle".The consequences are not only that.

Dr. Oom added that he and a group of Vietnamese scientists have also carried out a research project with a period of more than three years on the impact of storms from the epidemic in Vinh City, Nghe An. The results show that, when there are storms from cardiovascular diseases, nerves also break out strongly, even before and after the storm from.

Not eligible for research

Even though the level of influence of the solar storm is large, Vietnamese scientists have admitted that they are not eligible for research. So, to know about the information of the solar storm. Master Dong proposed: 'In the immediate future, we should cooperate with the research results of the countries in the world, update the information to know and prevent the occurrence of the solar storm. With this kind of weather there is no way to limit it but only increase the forecast to prevent '.

According to Dr. No, when the solar storm is active, depending on the meridians, countries will be affected differently. Even so, for those who need to go out during a storm, the sun must wear glasses, apply anti-ultraviolet lotion to protect the skin and eyes. It is recommended to calculate to stop the satellite devices at the time of the storm. Even medical machines that use automatic control equipment need to be calculated to avoid being affected. For people with cardiovascular and neurological diseases, absolutely do not go out during this time.

Dr. Le Huy Minh, Deputy Director of the Institute of Geophysics (Ministry of Science and Technology) said: "In 2009, there will be about 15-20 storms from affecting our country. Geophysical Institute will there is a forecast to the masses through the media about the impact of magnetic storms. However, it is forecasted that the impact of this year is not significant. "

Vietnam is located near the equator, so the possibility of being affected by storms is very high. If the storm phenomenon occurs during the day, the Southern region will be affected a lot.

In Vietnam, in 2001 magnetic storms had a high intensity with a measured amplitude index of 650 nT (nano tesla - unit of measurement of magnetic storm intensity). The cycle of magnetic storms is intense over a period of 11 to 12 years. After that, the sun returned to quiet, until about 2012 (periodic), there will be many intense storms from the sky. (Aries)
