Michio Kaku Warns of 2012 Solar Storm
April 22, 2009
Dr. Michio Kaku was recently on Fox News providing information regarding the possibility of solar storm at the peak of the solar cycle in 2012, and the serious consequences…
“We made a mistake,” Dr. Kaku said, when speaking about industry calculations about solar flares. Kaku believes the cycle will peak around 2012, possibly playing havoc with Earthling gadgets like Blackberries.
The Internet, Fox, television, cable, satellite TV” could all get “wiped out around 2012″.
He goes on to suggest that we need to reinforce our satellites, and create redundant power systems. President Obama has already earmarked billions to be spent on the US power grid, but it remains to be seen if it could be completed (or even begun) prior to 2012.
Class of 2012: Fail
April 6, 2009
Whilst this is merely anecdotal evidence from a single source, there might be something in it.
Shannon Logan, Manistee first-year, has only been to class 12 times this entire semester... Though it may seem that the stresses of a rigorous college course load has taken its toll on her, according to her, she just wants to spend the last years of her life doing the things that “really matter.”
Logan is not alone in this trend. Many students in the class of 2012 are displaying below-average participation and aptitude in college classes, despite being highly successful in high school. The reason: the predicted end of the world.
