Scientists have warned about the possible collapse of human civilization

Superspike in the Sun, scientists estimate that happen every two thousand years.

Head of Department of astronomy, Harvard University Abraham Loeb and his colleague Manasvi Lingam (USA) estimated time when the Sun will erupt destructive for human civilization flare. The study is available in the library electronic preprints arXiv.org.

Superspace, in which the Sun emits in the surrounding space of the order of 1034 erg, scientists estimate that happen every two thousand years. The last time a similar phenomenon occurred in the year 775, is expected to repeat it after about 750 years.

“We conclude that the risk from superspikes under-valued, and that mankind might witness their occurrence, leading to devastating economic and technological losses in the course of a thousand years”, — reported in the publication.

Estimates by scientists suggest that solar superspies is in the range from 2×1034 to 6×1036 erg, the lower limit of this value meets the minimum damage to the ecosystem of the planet, but major damage to manmade infrastructure.

In particular, the solar superspace can completely destroy earth satellites and electrical systems. During the geomagnetic storms of 1859 on the planet went haywire and Telegraph systems, and the Aurora Borealis was observed even in Equatorial regions.

The greatest danger of the solar superspike pose to the ozone layer, which protects the biosphere from ultraviolet radiation. Excess radiation leads to overheating of the surface layers of the atmosphere, the inhibition of photosynthetic organisms, and degradation of DNA.
