motioned for permission to speak and began thus, “We have unearthed some terrifying questions, ladies and gentlemen, the answers to which will determine the destiny of our lives in this world. We, however, are hoping these episodes of solar upheaval will not progress into its final demise. For, the last two instances of star turmoil countered each other as if torn by internal nuclear chain processing conflicts. First, there was no sun; but then, there was too much of it, in a manner of speaking. In the second instance, is not this in a way the exact opposite activity to what happened before, when the sun ‘went out?’ What I mean is that, it has been theorized that the previous event could have been caused by a giant solar storm system, like a giant sun spot, engulfing the whole solar complex and then collapsing its gravitational field so as to direct all radiant activity inwardly—and thus, no external emissions and the sun “going out;” whereas excessive coronal mass emissions like the great solar winds that caused Aurora Borealis tended to activate processes that are outwardly or externally directed rather than inwardly imploded, perhaps heralding the augmentation of the sun’s regular magnetic field strength. First, the sun emitted no light—as if it totally disappeared; but now, it’s ejecting so much ‘plasma rain’ as to cause Aurora Borealis at both Poles.”
“This ‘oscillation’ shows perhaps that the sun is returning to its regular core thermal dynamics and nuclear plasma convection activities, which will then restore stability, and hopefully, equilibrium to total-Earth systems.”
Philip Karbidek, a physicist, who appeared to not have shared such optimistic assessments totally then added, “Such coronal mass ejections, however, have more or less been pegged to the eleven-year polarity change cycle which is sometimes accompanied by extreme sun spot activity. One would assume these activities have counter-effects because they are opposite in operation—such as contraction and expansion, collapse and expulsion, of which convection is made, and thus, the absence of explosive spectral emissions in the first instance, and the presence of solar winds in the second.”
“Plasma energy which powers stars like our sun consists of ionized gases produced at very high temperatures that contain about equal numbers of positive and negative charges; and plasma energy is an excellent conductor of electricity, hence, the sun’s electrical dynamo. This dynamo is very powerful because it engages not only electricity but also radiation and electromagnetism. The atomic-ionized plasma fuel is a radio-active complex in which electron interchange is contrived by gravitational pressures and magnetic fields and thermo-nuclear temperatures.”
“Solar energy as radiated ionized plasma, is first processed via thermonuclear fusion, and then ‘cooled’ into atomic energy—thus, the sun recycles its own atom-proton nuclei fuel. The sun is powered by variants of pressure and temperature just as our atmosphere (the whole Earth, rather) is powered by variants of pressure and temperature driven by electro-dynamics, which contribute to the formation of tornadoes—these processes thus creating atmospheric convections from which emerge hydro-electric catalysts for storms and wind systems.”
“The sun engenders its own ‘internal tornadoes’—ionized plasma and atomic energy are joined by nuclear convection, the upward and downward transfer of thermonuclear electromagnetic radiation,—as ionized plasma is fused and then ‘cooled’ into its component atomic energy structure. Solar thermonuclear convection is caused by electro-magnetic ‘internal tornadoes’ created by chain reactions fueled by the inter-transmutations between hot ionized plasma and ‘cooled’ atomic energy.”
“Thus, the sun is a continuous ‘raging tornado’ devoured by such tremendous temperature and pressure, radiation and electro-magnetic momentum-force, and gravity differentials as to dwarf any conception we might develop regarding its internal operations.”
“So how do we know if it is a re-normalization of regular activities, as opposed to a stop-gap process that will lead to another ‘black out’? For if these are activities that impinge upon the sun’s gravitational field binding-energies, then the processes from which these effects are emerging could be ‘in toto systemic,’ and therefore symptomatic of a ‘kind of death’ for which we will have little preparedness or response.”
“The sun’s gravitational field is not only essential to its own survival but also for the ‘in-toto’ binding energy that holds the whole solar system together. A collapsed gravitational field—caused by an all-encompassing sunspot—could have directed all radiant activity inwardly, thus ‘over-cooling’ the photosphere or solar surface, which then blocked all emitted radiation; but why temporarily, so that equilibrium is restored thereafter, at least from what we can observe and feel? And how often will that occur in the near future—or was it a one-time re-adjustment in solar core plasma and nuclear convection dynamics?”
“I mean, the laws of thermodynamics also apply to the sun’s nuclear inferno, do they not? Is the sun running out of fuel? Is it suffering from periodic cooling so extraordinary that it affects its ability to retain nuclear chain reaction continuum for sustained radioactivity, heat energy, and gravitational projections for radio-magnetism? Or is it being inwardly ‘overheated’ so disproportionately as to need ‘venting off’ in order to remain as a star?”
“Of even greater concern, my friends, is that, if the sun’s magnetic field is being maximally affected so as to impact Earth magnetic field electro-conductivity and gravity determinants, could not the Earth ‘fall away from its orbit’ and collide with another planet?”
“Or, what if next time the Earth collides with another planet that itself ‘ran out of orbit’?”
Paul Mirdewvell, pausing for a few seconds, as if to let these horrifying questions “sink in,” offered his own trepidations, “What if the Earth lost its ability to retain atmospheric temperature due loss of synchronized synergism between hydrosphere thermal absorption, core electro-conductivity and dipolar magnetic field radiation interception? After all, Aurora Borealis had reached the equatorial line separating the two hemispheres, ‘merging’ at the equator—as if the magnetosphere was ‘weakening’ its barrier against the onslaught of extremely intense solar radiation. Could that allow ‘cold space’ to overcome this barrier to engulf the Earth so as to engineer a ‘cryo-state’? And therefore, could Nitrogen, ‘a cryogenic liquid,’ which constitutes more than 80 percent of Earth atmosphere, undergo ‘cooling’ so to speak, thereby neutralizing the thermal effects of less voluminous gases such as Oxygen, Carbon, and Hydrogen, that sustain livable temperatures? God be with us, with you, ladies and gentlemen!”
It was already 10:30pm and the meeting’s questions hovered over every one’s head, as if in anticipation of answers too frightful to entertain. The conference adjourned with promises of reconvening at various sites in many other States of the Union in order to spread dissemination of information in an angle as wide as possible given the opportunities of current telecommunications technology. But these local meetings were patterned after a model that was intended to survive even in the absence of satellite technologies, in case solar activities disrupted the grid of telecommunications on which the majority of organizations, businesses and government units had come to rely for transmitting, relaying, receiving and responding to information.

On Thursday morning, John Trinklung and his wife Claire were watching television when they heard what happened to a truck driver in Nebraska. Kirk Nopherdon was driving his semi-truck at 65 miles per hour on the highway as he was maneuvering to change lanes when suddenly the whole thing lifted about 4 feet from the ground, crossed over the embankment on the right side of the road to then plunge 50 feet down and fall on a farming enterprise below. The gas tanks caught on fire from sparks flying from contact with highway metal-works, and the truck exploded as it slammed against the ground. Nopherdon was killed instantly but no one else was injured. This report came from drivers who witnessed the event first hand; “Our prayers are with
