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 ♥️"
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 “The Long Dark”, where you have to survive in the northern Canadian wilderness after a geomagnetic storm sapped your plane’s battery. It’s 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.
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.
@@구독자500명되면이같은 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.
@@arandomzoomer4837 Starvation would happen not because of transportation, but because of not being able to preserve foods; refrigerators are really important!
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 :-)
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...
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
crimsonstar108 how about we call it a hoax and question the legitimacy of the scientists who proposed such a thing in the first place, then call anyone else who talks about it “fake news”.
@Aurelia I think you forgot about the black death that killed a 1/3 of Europe because of rats and fleas.also it doesn’t take much effort to ruined humanity it just that there are more people who wants peace than violent which is why most countries aren’t at war at each other.
@@Kalleskaviarriddare 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.
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.
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.
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).

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.
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.

Hee Hoo! You Thought! You little miserable clumps of protein. You thought of something bright and hopeful, Hah! You thought! But NO! Things are bad and you shall not be the third person now. *Perspective changed to _First Person mode_ .
Solar storms are easily manageable with a small extra investment into solar weatherproofing the power grid, which the utilities would be expected to pay for. In other words...
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.
@@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.

@Sinochu I personally think it's difficult to truly compare the pandemic to any solar storm situation, because for the pandemic, dealing with it is very much in all our hands, not solely and specifically in the hands of the healthcare workers. Everyone needs to put on a mask, everyone needs to get vaccinated, everyone needs to practice good hygiene. With the solar storms, only the engineers and power technicians, who are experts and professionals in their fields, will be involved in the whole process, while we as common folk would only be able to sit and wait. Of course people will complain and get riled up over having their power taken away for a significant period of time, but to be frank, if I was in the kind of position to determine what's to be done, I'd mandate that all power companies in my country pull their collective plugs regardless of citizen complaints, and deal with the consequences of a disgruntled populace later. It's for their own good, after all, to prevent a much more dire fate that would no doubt lead to societal collapse.
@@verynormalcactus I mean, we could, it would just involve isolating everyone with the virus and waiting. Like a fire without fuel, it would die out. However, this would be a pretty deadly choice and you would need cooperation with everyone which isn't going to happen.
Me toooo✋🏻 Idk how serious is it but i looked up NOAA Geomagnetic Storm Scale and from least to most severe it's g1,g2,g3,g4 and g5. The highest one?!

'Our engineers know how to deal with these storms' is such a badass thing to be able to say
Just like how our healthcare system knows how to deal with a pandemic.
Unplugging engineers
@Sinochu
I personally think it's difficult to truly compare the pandemic to any solar storm situation, because for the pandemic, dealing with it is very much in all our hands, not solely and specifically in the hands of the healthcare workers. Everyone needs to put on a mask, everyone needs to get vaccinated, everyone needs to practice good hygiene. With the solar storms, only the engineers and power technicians, who are experts and professionals in their fields, will be involved in the whole process, while we as common folk would only be able to sit and wait. Of course people will complain and get riled up over having their power taken away for a significant period of time, but to be frank, if I was in the kind of position to determine what's to be done, I'd mandate that all power companies in my country pull their collective plugs regardless of citizen complaints, and deal with the consequences of a disgruntled populace later. It's for their own good, after all, to prevent a much more dire fate that would no doubt lead to societal collapse.
@@quitlife9279 I wish we could just unplug the virus like the electricity
@@verynormalcactus I mean, we could, it would just involve isolating everyone with the virus and waiting. Like a fire without fuel, it would die out. However, this would be a pretty deadly choice and you would need cooperation with everyone which isn't going to happen.
