A new study from the National Academy of Sciences outlines grim possibilities on Earth for a worst-case scenario solar storm.
Damage to power grids and other communications systems could be catastrophic, the scientists conclude, with effects leading to a potential loss of governmental control of the situation
When the sun is in the active phase of its 11-year cycle, it can unleash powerful magnetic storms that disable satellites, threaten astronaut safety, and even disrupt communication systems on Earth.
The worst storms can knock out power grids by inducing currents that melt transformers.
Modern power grids are so interconnected that a big space storm — the type expected to occur about once a century — could cause a cascade of failures that would sweep across the United States, cutting power to 130 million people or more in this country alone, the new report concludes.
Such widespread power outages, though expected to be a rare possibility, would affect other vital systems.

Speechless when i saw that Zac Efron in the movie 17 again the day before.. So hommies, isn't it cool for the world to end? I know it sounds crazy, and the world is going to tremble in fear if that's going to happpen.
Advantanges: No more stress?
Disadvantages: No more friends, families..
Duh, Let nature take its course..
But, it's just a study from psychotic scentist from America. I can't imagine the impact the world is going to face.. Countries around the world will be having a outbreak of crimes. They probably have the thought that the world is going to end sooner or later so why not enjoy life to the fullest? Riotting & many many more..
