VIVAnews - Despite rumors of 'doomsday' was widely blows will occur on December 21, 2012, some scientists and scientific institutions denies. Rebuttal also disclosed National Aeronautics and Space Agency (LAPAN).
According LAPAN, the Mayan calendar which is interpreted to be the world end on December 21, 2012, not to worry. Therefore, the phenomena that occur in space today tend as usual.
"There is no reason to link the phenomenon of space to the issue of 'apocalypse'. Phenomenon of space in the next few days the condition
normal course, "said Thomas Djamaluddin, Research Professor of Astronomy-Astrophysics LAPAN, through a written message to VIVAnews, Thursday December 21, 2012.
Thomas said some of the issues linked 'doomsday' Solar Storm 2012 and 2012 events. This is the peak of solar activity and solar activity cycle has a period of 11 years.
In a note, the previous peak of solar activity occurred in 1979, 1989, and 2000.
At the peak of activity, said Thomas, sunspots caused by magnetic activity increased in number. At that time in the form of solar storms burst of high-energy particles and the emission of electromagnetic waves (such as flares) also increased the frequency of occurrence.
Solar storms characterized by changes in the magnetic field is shown by the variation of the sunspot number (sunspot), solar explosions (flares), bursts of solar gas (prominensa or filaments) and throw the matter corona (CME, coronal mass ejection).
"But it is not the solar storm resulted in 'doomsday'," he said.
The blast, he added, only disturbing the earth's magnetic field and ionosphere. These disorders can lead to the opening of a gap around the poles of the earth's magnetic field so that charged particles (protons and electrons) can enter the Earth's atmosphere that can form the aurora and can induce electrical networks in countries near the poles.
Ionospheric disturbances interfere with shortwave radio communications that use the ionosphere as a reflector. So that radio communications can be interrupted.
"So, be wary of the possibility of disruption of broadcast television, telephone communications, and the ATM network," he added.
Three Days of Darkness
Thomas also denied that the issue of the three days of darkness at 23, 24, and 25 December. The issue of this form of grouping the dark days of the universe, the sun, and the earth will be grouped for the first time.
Earth will shift from the current third dimension to zero dimension, then move on to the fourth dimension. The whole universe would be facing major changes.
"The information was very confusing and misleading. There is no grouping in the universe," said Thomas. (Ren)
