RE: How Do You Protect Earth From The Dangers of Sun? (Hint: Earth-Sized Shield)
Okay, not sure what the ozone layer has to do with a CME, but I am not a scientist. (ozone layer mentioned in some remarks, not Post). Okay so:
According to experts, a large CME could melt the copper that is used inside the electrical transformers
So there solution is to build a:
magnetic field shield (like the ones they show in movies) would be perfect for this purpose. Doing so will require a huge amount of copper wire
Personally, that solution seems to be a non-solution if the CME is going to melt copper wire on Earth in transformers, as it penetrates Earth's magnetic field, What is to stop it from melting the copper wire in the man-made magnetic field? Or is the man made magnetic field expected to be a heck of a lot stronger than the Earths?
Oh one more silly question, (yes I know pennies are no longer copper), will the CME that melts copper wire in transformers melt all those copper pennies and copper plumbing pipes?
lol I was thinking the exact same thing while writing this post but then I assumed that since they are scientists and I am not and since they have actually released a paper on this, I might be missing something and I must not be knowing somethings that could explain this.
