Do you think we'll be prepared by 2025?

For anyone worried: NO it will not destroy us in 2025, it will ruin the internet for months but it won’t kill us

I’d say this is mildly alarming

I'mma drop a comment here so that whenever somebody likes it, i'll get reminded of this vid.

It would be bad, yeah, but seeing as we'd have at least several hours to shut down electrical grids it wouldn't be quite as disastrous as many believe. A week without electricity is a lot better than a decade without it.

Honestly this guy has made me even more intrigued into space. I love his content and whilst it's scary to think about sometimes, it's just amazing how he presents it in a calming way and makes it feel as if it is not a threat if we act on it.

I find it Amazing how you simplifiy astronomy, it makes tons of people including me easier to learn it

If I’m not mistaken there’s plans for situations likes this. If the governments track it in time they can shut down the energy grinds and started back up when the flare passes

2020: Toilet paper 2025: Tin foil

While we'll likely see more solar flares - and resulting complications - as we approach to 2025, there's no need to fear a doomsday scenario. “Some people worry that a gigantic 'killer solar flare' could hurl enough energy to destroy Earth, but this is not actually possible,” NASA explains.

this man has single handedly make me go from wanting to be a doctor to wanting and working towards being an astrophysicist

"Ok last video before bed" The last video before bed:

This man never fails to look happy and make us get mental stress and be traumatized

Me: reads title Goes outside Stares down the sun “Do it, you won’t”

This is just awesome you deserve this fame, you put so much work into your work.❤

Me watching this in 2024...💀

Man its definitely scary and amazing to think about how space works, i've been in in love with space ever since learning about the events in the 90s where an entire city lost power for 3-4 days and people went frantic after seeing the sky for the first time, I definitely love your content and i hope to be an astronomer one day!

simplified and straight to the point. i totally agree with the selfishness of how beautiful the sky will look as opposed to the damage it will do

I would enjoy the view of space if the blackouts happened, but I would also be terrified to death, just knowing that everybody’s life could end at any moment.

bro we gonna die before gta 6 comes out💀💀💀💀💀🗣️

For those who are worried: Don't worry guys, these things are just expectations. Also the world will never end. That is confirmed. Also god cares for his children. He protects them no matter what, and we are his children.

These long videos are really good! You should consider making more of them in the future (if you want that ofc)

if this does happen, it seems we might loose connection to the voyagers, which then would be pretty catastrophic for the NASA team, as the voyagers are basically the lead of space exploration as of now, they might be lost to unknown causes in interstellar space, or other such scenarios, end up perfectly fine, which isn't likely, because if a carrington level event hits us, we'll loose power for years to come, who knows what'll happen.

Nothing to worry about. First the solar storms peak every 11 years. It's not unusual. Then a solar storm doesn't have the effects many of the click bait stories claim. It can't do anything to electronic devices or power plants. It's not like lightning. It's a tiny voltage difference of a minute fraction of a volt per meter. So the only way something can be damaged is if it is connected to very very long cables. The only effect is on step up / down transformers that are connected to cables tens or hundreds of kilometers long. These are the electricity sub stations you may see - which convert very high voltages from long distance cables into the lower voltages for domestic use. Even then those cables also have to run in the air above ground where there is resistive ground rock because you need a voltage difference to build up between the cable and the ground. If the ground below the cable is conductive (e.g. wet sedimentary rocks) there won't be any voltage difference between the cable and the ground because the weak magnetic fields from the solar storm will build up exactly the same voltages in both cable and the ground. The damage is caused by voltage differences between the cable and the ground in the step up / down transformers. It turns out that only a few places are actually vulnerable. The 1989 Quebec powercut was possible because of the resistive ground rock below Quebec as well as its high altitude. But since then they have made the step up / down transformers much more resilient and that powercut wouldn't happen again with modern transformers. The only ones at risk are old models or a new model that is near the end of its operating life and about to be replaced anyway. They make the transformers triply redundant in case one of them fails, so that even if a few of them fail in a Carrington type event - it would be an expensive bit of kit to replace, but the customer is likely to not even notice. In the USA most of the grid companies now sign up to an insurance scheme which keeps a stockpile of road-mibile transformers - it's really meant for hurricane damage and such-liek so that they can be up and running quickly after a hurricane - but it would also work for solar storms an dmean that they coudl replace the damaged transformers and be up and running quickly in the rare case where all three are damaged or to get back to normal levels of triple redundancy. The electricity grid is very resilient, a bit like the internet, if there is a cable or sequence of cables available to get the electricity from A to B then they can reconfigure to use it instead of the one they usually use. Expense would be similar to a hurricane after a Carrington style event but most likely no powercuts or just a few localized in the most vulnerable places. The powergrid companies would know where is most vulnerable in their network also there are a few hours of warning of a solar storm after it passes the SOHO satellite between Earth and the Sun, so they would be able to respond to put their equipment into a safer operating mode before it hits and we have longer term projections of solar storms, though less accurate, of the order of days to a week or so. debunkingdoomsday.quora.com/What-would-the-effects-be-of-a-major-solar-storm-Short-term-local-power-cuts-for-hours-not-widespread-blackout-for-mo As for the flares themseslves we can't have a superflare. We can't have a superflare. For a short time a few years ago some astronomers thought superflares were possible after they spotted them in a survey of stars that resemble our sun, only some of those stars and they didn't know what made a difference between the ones with and without superflares. They never thought they were likely for our sun, because we'd have seen the signs of them in the moon rocks, if there had been any in the last 4.5 billion years. Something that hasn't happened for 4.5 billion years would have to be very rare. But they now know that our sun can't do them. They now understand why some stars have them and others don't, and ours is the wrong kind of star to ever have them. It is to do with how fast it spins and for a superflare the polar region has to spin faster than the equatorial region (the sun isn't solid so different parts of it can spin at different rates). For our sun, it spins too slowly and the polar regions spin more slowly than the equatorial regions and its magnetic field isn't strong enough. So it can't do them. debunkingdoomsday.quora.com/Can-superflares-happen-on-our-sun-observation-and-modeling-combined-says-no-only-bright-flares-equivalent-to-our-sun

Nice, finally some good patch notes.

I love how you make your content so entertaining. I genuinely got more interested in space because you. Keep it up my man!

For anyone that dosent know why the internet dosent work in 2025 its because the satellites break

Thanks kobi for the brilliant content it makes me more intrigued into space but one question how long without internet and electricity

Though i find this one scary but i absolutely love your content, keep it coming !❤

Your content is full of information that if we took it in a space period it would take 45 mins... thats why i love your channel!

Thanks for scaring me! Love your TikToks ❤

Gotta love how fear is the key to success.

your such a good storyteller and you made me way more interested in space than i would ever be. thanks astro kobe

Your videos have very high quality bro. They made me more interested in space, I can see you having 1 million subs soon

in my opinion which doesnt matter: i don't think that people, companies or even the government should wait for a whole year to take action regarding solar maximum because the sun doesn't know the calendar. It can even shoot a solar storm on earth tomorrow.

I'll be honest, this guy is more betted than "What If" This guy speaks facts and it is really amazing how he puts his efforts and knowledge into these videos. Agreed?

This is scary yes, we don’t like to believe it but we rely on electricity so much that even a day (24hrs) of the global power grid collapse would cause mass societal and economical collapse. Even if it’s just 24hrs, it would still cause mass panic across the world. Also I love your channel so much, it’s the perfect channel for nerds like me and space lovers. I don’t even want to be an astronomer (thats plan B xD) plan A is surgeon because I like biology a lot but also physics. Anyways, I love your channel so much. Thanks for making videos and keep up the hard work.

Bro keep the good work!! Amazing astrophysics facts. And also congrats on ur first long vid 🎉🎉

My eyes: tearing My brain: WE ARE GONNA DIE My mouth: its fake

"Sun could destroy us in 2025" "Ur car would be ok"

Basically, we need to build a lot of backup transformer stations that can soak up the excessive amounts of energy so things don't overload, catching fire or exploding. But always pay attention to the solar news for warning so you can at least unplug all your stuff to prevent fires.

I love you bro, please keep up the absolutely amazing work bro. You are amazing. This video was very informative and well set out, thank you. This deserves a sub.

As much as it would scare me, I would be so happy to see the stars with zero light pollution, it’s been my dream for ages.

Bro says rap your phone in tinfoil. That sounds like a conspiracy theory.

I love your videos dude, your doing awesome work!!

AstroKobi, i love your content so much it is so well edited and the format is very nice aswell, everytime you come up when im watching shorts, it makes my day better!

Hopefully, we will be prepared, in case we aren't it's a must we all work together as one group, all of humanity. So, maybe it wouldn't be that bad, it would teach us teamwork and that would help a lot in the future. But still, it's probably better, if we are prepared, because there is no guarantee that humanity would really work together.

We got to pray this does not go bad

2025: *solar storm destroys internet* Schools: this is the best year ever!!

Wow. I never used to be really into space but after discovering your channel, I want to find out about every exoplanet, every solar system, every galaxy.

We need an AstroKobi video for the g5 geomagnetic storm we just had 😁 I saw the aurora all the way in Southern US

The cosmos in General is awesome and terrifying on scales we cant comprehend

Astrokobi, your content and the way in which you explain is amazing, although terrifying.. You take lots of time and effort to keep us entertained with your videos. God bless🙏

Bro, You make the best video's ever. I have read of this before in a book but you explained it like 10X better. I am prepared now.

I couldn’t stop thinking about him saying: “ I have exciting space news.”

GOOD! That’s what we might need🙏🏾

You always make me more intrested in space! The amount of information you give us in these small videos are amazing! I had a question. Was it you showing us the cool valorant clips done by the pro gamers?

This video sounds like if I search up google when I have a headache and it says you will die

iPad kids when the solar storm turns it off: AGHHGAGHABAGHAHAGWGWBGE

Loving the content mate! Keep it up 🤙🤙

This sounds pretty terrifying, I am not ready for 2025!

the worst that can happen is the internet going out for a few months or less,a couple months it’s not like the earth is gonna explode in 2025.

Thank you Astrokobi

good video Kobi one question tho, when this happens, how much time time does it take for us to return to out electronic gadgets and will it be safe to go outside? Thanks and I really like your videos

I really like that you uploaded a longer video! I enjoyed it a lot ^_^

Thank you for me causing fear and anxiety and scare me to the core of my living

yall should learn how to survive in the wild, buy a tent and print a bunch of maps of each section where you're living. learn how to hunt with a bow or gun and buy survival guides at a book store. then theoretically you should be able to survive.

Astro these videos are insane! You got me into astronomy and space itself.

That gave me chills! I am really in to space so I’m trying to study what else we need to do! Thanks for all the videos you post!! ❤🌎

IM GONNA DIE😭😭😭😭😭😭 JESES CRIST PLEASE SAVE US FROM THE SUN, EVERYONE PRAY THE NAME OF JESUS😭😭😭😭

you know kobi is serious when he posts an entire 7 minute video for this other than a short.

I like these longer videos, we dont get them often but they are gems!

This will probably be like when people thought the world would end in 2012

I remember years ago when a simple thunderstorm fried my PC's motherboard.

So, from what i understood towards the end. There is a 12% chance a Carrington level event will hot within the next decade, right? Does that mean that there’s an 88% chance it WON’T happen/be as severe?

I love your content you managed to connect me more into space

You and your videos are the reason I got my telescope out to look up in the night sky. And that’s pretty scary if you ask me that we could have no power for years it would be hard for many especially those who where born with technology.

Yea good run buddy at least I see what's clouds look like all above

Despite a myriad of claims about how the sun could kill the planet, there are no science-backed predictions that a deadly solar storm will occur in 2025. Forecasting the severity of damage that solar storms could cause on Earth is complicated, according to Upendran

I think the COVID pandemic showed how the world can react and adapt to global threats to life and existence, but an event like this is much more sudden and fast moving than a pandemic. There would barely be time to nip to the shops to stock up on aluminium foil, and we would have to accept that people will die when an event like this occurs.

If that time comes, I hope we will be able to prepare ourselves quickly, yet I do not know if that is a good solution especially for the people whose lives are in danger. I hope, if the time comes, we have as minor sacrifices as possible 🙏

dont worry it has a 91%chance of missing us

This may give a chance to go back into nostalgic times where we enjoyed being free without technology and internet

Considering this Solar Cycle is nearing the strength seen in Solar Cycle 23, its just been lucky so far none of the X flares have been strong enough to cause any infrastructure damage

This could be a blessing in disguise. Not only will we not have to rely on machines that use up tons of fossil fuels, but we will make more bonds with humans since gaming and spending hours a day behind has made us all a bit less social. This will make people more used to using less electricity, and we will all have more friends and better social lives. I am not saying that it would be a good thing. Many that need emergency medical care would die and a lot of money would be spent on fixing larger electronic machines. But not Al, would be bad.

even if there was no power i would never get bored of looking at the stars. the stars are part of me. space is part of me.

Welcome to South Africa, no need for worrying about solar storms causing a black out. All you need is the ANC

Astro Kobi: we are in danger Comments section: amazing video, great content, wow! Me: do they know ???!!!!!

Great video! All your videos fulfill my interest in space science.

“The world will end” THE WORLD WILL END!” “the world will end but i feel fine!”

I think it's actually not bad for everybody to take a break from electronic devices and the internet for like two years. After that, The world MIGHT Maybe return to normal in 2027, just like in 2019. Maybe It's a sign from God, that humanity needs to calm down for a little bit, and it might not actually be that bad.

Not many people know about this… and I think that’s the major problem. Everyone needs to be aware of this and we need to prepare, and start preparing quickly. As you say, if everyone follows these safety measures, and if everyone is warned soon enough, everyone will be fine… but if this doesn’t happen… we need to prepare for the worst. No one will know what is going on in the world… but when I think about it, It makes me feel better that it’s the whole world. If my internet was shut off for 5 years I couldn’t bear it… I would feel cut off from the world, but if everyone was, I mean, I would still feel cut off from the world. I guess this is kind of selfish, but I would feel better if everyone felt that way, y’know? I wonder what would happen to planes during that period, I would assume that if they haven’t been grounded, there would be big problems. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst, that’s what I say. I’m only young and something like this would absolutely freak me out. And I would hope that everyone follows these guides, pull out all electrical cables, wrap stuff in tin foil. This is a great video and has really got me thinking.. it kind of makes me paranoid though and I hate that feeling.

You should really upload more long videos.. It is so interesting😊

For those saying “Having no internet is good, we can improve our social lives!”, read this. Firstly, we need to inderstand what the internet is. The internet isnt limited to things like social media and gaming platforms, it’s basically what most things run on. When the storm does hit us, many essential things stop working. People wouldnt be able to withdraw money from ATMs because the bank relies on the internet to track your bank information and balance. Crime rates would spike as no one would be able to call the police, or use surveillance devices to track down criminals. Also, because all pur devices rely on the internet, we wouldnt even be able to use them. Even mobile data wouldn’t work, as the cell towers also rely on the internet to communicate with your device.

If the internet was destroyed, we would have to start all over again in life and go back to the older days when internet was either new so it was very limited or not at all, and we would need to use offline features and more paper, which wouldn’t be too bad in my opinion, considering how much we rely on internet in our everyday lives keeps increasing and is making everything being used less memorable from when I was younger when we used our brains more instead of the internet. Physical books also were often used and sent, and made it better to increase information being picked up. (never mind what I said compared to the video because there is still electricity being used but it is still important to remember internet and technology constantly being advanced in unnecessary ways)

In 2020 I got this intense feeling that our power grids would be wiped out in a few years. Started doimg research and found out about the carington event and the risk CME pose to our entire modern way of life. I've still got months worth of parish able food stored in my bedroom closet ready for the moment the world seeps into chaos. I never expected it to be too soon. 2027 was the date I felt intuited about. No good reason.

This is very fascinating.

Here we go get ready

Yep, New phobia unlocked. Anyways, great content as always

this sounds terrifying i hope everyone will be okay by then
