It's AumSum Time.
What If a Massive Solar Flare hits earth?
I will use my AumSum shield and protect the
Earth.
Oh AumSum.
Solar flares are sudden and massive eruptions
of electromagnetic radiations.
From the sun's surface.
A massive solar flare which occurred in 1859
had minimal impact.
But it would have massive disruptions today.
Mainly because of our over reliance on technology.
The earth's surface would be safe but our
atmosphere.
Would bear the entire brunt of radiation.
That is, radio waves, x-rays, gamma rays,
etc.
Firstly, there would be a major disruption
of power grids.
Possible leaving cities or even countries
without any electricity.
Secondly, our good old radio communication
would be down and out.
Thirdly and most importantly, GPS & Satellite
Communications would be hit.
This would cause major problems for transportation
and communication.
Lastly, because of massive Auroras our atmosphere
would look like a magnificent painting.
What if all the Bees die?
No ways.
I will sell all my burgers and create a safe
house for them.
That's so cute Aumsum.
There are more than 16,000 species of bees.
Bees generally collect pollen and nectar from
flowers for their survival.
In this process they help pollinate majority
of the fruits.
And vegetable crops which are consumed in
the world today.
Some studies reveal that more than 90% production
of cherries, blueberries.
And almonds is a direct result of the pollination
efforts of bees.
Also, certain bees have evolved as per the
size and structure of specific flowers.
Hence if there are no bees, these plants would
definitely go extinct.
This will also have a catastrophic effect
on the food chain.
As the animals eating those plants will slowly
but surely perish.
Finally, because of the absence of natural
sweetener like honey.
Many people may switch over to an unhealthy
artificial sweetener like sugar.
What if the earth was Cube-Shaped?
Holy Moly.
Will my cute chubby round face also turn into
a cube?
Oh AumSum.
Earth is spherical in shape because of Gravity.
Earth's gravity pulls everything equally towards
its center.
And thus gives it a spherical shape.
Now, if the earth was Cube-shaped.
Firstly, it would look weird, right.
Secondly, just like gravity.
Our weight would be different at different
places on earth.
This is because the 8 corners of the cube.
Would be much further away from the cube's
center.
As compared to the rest of the cube.
But this would be good news for people who
are over-weight and lazy.
Now they can just go to the corners and voilaaa,
their weight gets reduced.
Thirdly, due to low gravitational force.
The cube corners would have very less atmospheric
cover & almost no water.
Thus rendering them inhospitable.
What if the Earth had 2 Moons?
So What.
Even I have my 2 lollipops, I lick them every
day.
That's gross AumSum.
The most obvious effect of 2 moons would be
that.
Our nights would be much much brighter.
That would certainly be bad news for stargazers
and astronomers.
Also, as you all know that tides on earth
are a result of the moon.
So, 2 moons would either amplify this effect
or cancel out each other.
If they were to amplify then we could have
huge tides.
Effectively making living near shorelines
almost impossible.
But it will definitely be good news for all
the surfers.
Finally, as the number of moons increases,
so will the number of solar eclipses.
Also, hypothetically, if they were to ever
collide with each other.
Then the amount of debris coming out of such
collision.
Would make living on earth almost impossible.
