I am just curious , why coronal mass ejections, the way i understand it the amount of energy required to produce a coronal mass ejection that could actually damage the earth in a lasting fashion would not happen without outside influenze from our sun in its current state. The sun produces lots of coronal mass ejections all the time, averaging about 3 a day. Usually they represent themselves with disruptions to communications, increased magnetic activity and usally increases in Northern and Southern lights activity. I am genuinely interested in what might cause one that could kill most of us, i like learning new things!

I guess i didnt really think about it like that, even though i should have since i know it has very large electromagnetic impact when they occur. Now i guess my other question would be, is the current EMI shielding we have on newer structures and other important electronic equipment suffiecnt enough to cover them from most of the damage of such a large CME event. Also thanks for pointing out my lack of scope and the new info :)

At least you still had solid substance, when i came out the other end, i was the extreme diarrhea that gets shotgun blasted to the back of the stall and all over the floor instead of the toliet.
