Calling South African Science Bloggers

Permalink 01:25:59 pm, Categories: leet sites, 93 words

South Africa needs science and South Africa needs prominent scientific voices. Unfortunately, like the media in much of the rest of the world, South Africa's media is not nearly welcoming enough to the skeptical and scientific views of the world. Luckily, we have great examples from the United States and elsewhere of how self-publication through blogs can affect public discourse, promoting science and acting as a counterweight to indifference, ignorance, and gullibility. However, unlike our comrades elsewhere, South African science bloggers are unconnected and not organized. I propose to change that...Read More

The Hubble Telescope has detected the largest recorded explosion to date.



Supernova Bella Prime in the Perseus Galaxy has exploded and has emitted a massive electromagnetic pulse, also known as an EMP, that could cause major disruptions to computers and communication systems here on Earth.



On March 13, 1989, in Montreal, Quebec, 6 million people were without commercial electric power for 9 hours as a result of a huge geomagnetic storm. Some areas in the northeastern U.S. and in Sweden also lost power.



Supernova Bella Prime is 1056 times stronger than the 1989 EMP and is expected to reach Earth later this year.


Scientists predict there will be major disruptions to computers and to most electrical devises here on Earth.


In order to protect your electrical circuits all cells phones, computers, televisions, and other electrical devises should be turned off for approximately 24 minutes as the EMP wave passes over Earth.



Persons traveling in vehicles using a navigational GPS are to ensure they have a traditional map available as all GPS devises will be affected when GPS Satellites Stations are turned towards the EMP and their signal turned off for the 24 minute duration.


Scientist also say that not all things will be doom and gloom as some of the newly designed battery operated toys will be activated during the 24 minute wave period even without batteries installed. Also of interest, the Earth's magnetic field which naturally protects us from all EMPs will cause a spectacular show of the Aurora Borealis seen as far south as Mexico.


There is little health risk during this time as the narrow wave exposure is considered short.

to whom ever was writing the exposure of sect. There is another sect which really needs exposure urgently. Check out www.beware-of-alon.com

I experienced the very similar things and have family there. My hands are tied. please help
