 I’m wondering whats the fear behind this question… 
 You’re right, it does sound scary, right? 

That’s because it is. 
 Hahaha I still don’t know what are you afraid of 😅 
 Magnetic field disruption, sets of chain reactions in ways that you would never think possible 
 @mleku showed a great example of how to communicate scientific ideas. Could you try to formulate your thoughts in scientific terms most preferably with examples and or references? 
 lol, i just have a big vocabulary, and creative mind for sciency stuff 
 also, if you want to read about the theory that radio frequencies disrupt biological clocks go check out jack kruse https://jackkruse.com/

there is a magnetic oscillation that does a 360' rotation every ~25000 yeares at our position in the galactic disk, it is described as "corrugated" and this causes massive disruption of the magnetic fields of all the planets and the sun, and every 12000 years it causes a "micronova" which is basically a massive storm on the sun that puts out so much matter that in the subsequent 1000 years or so there is objects formed out of it and these also then smash into the planets and cause further chaos

the magnetic disruption alone causes massive problems because it disrupts the normal function of the earth's magnetic field and prompts it to rotate 90', this is the phase of the cycle, every 6000 years, 90' rotation

when this happens, the earth's naturally lumpy magnetic field, because of the uneven distribution of material inside it, at least every 12000 years becomes so disrupted that the crust of the earth moves around to align this magnetic material with the new orientation of the galactic magnetic current sheet, or corrugated magnetic field that propagates from the supermassive stars at the centre of the galaxy, through all the matter around it

you can look these things up, and yes it is scary, and all those dinosaur bones, yes, they are there now from the last time there was a rotation, and i'm pretty sure now that it was 12000 years ago and this was the story behind the Noah great flood (and many other cultures have similar stories, there was tsunamis, meteor storms, airbursts and streaking meteors setting fire to thousands of square miles of land, some talk about how the sun had become "evil" and excessively hot

if you want to pick up the general gist of it, though i think some of the thesis is wrong, get the book "The Apocalypse of Yajnavalkya" - in that book it describes a lot of things that now i know about the galactic magnetic rotation cycle (corrugated current sheet) all fits together a lot better, and also probably explains the disaster of the tower of babel and sodom and gomorrah and the plagues of egypt and all that stuff all sorta fit neatly into that timeline

what's scary is that it's likely going to happen within the next 50 years, another cycle like the one that was the Great Flood and that humans as they are in this situation don't have very long to prepare for it, and most are so oblivious to what is going on, and deluded by these stories about global warming and anthropogenic global warming, it's gonna be a miracle if anyone survives 
 🙏you’re so cool 
Faraday, 1832:

When a conductive liquid, such as water moves through a magnetic field, it will induce occur that is perpendicular to that of the field

Combined with your note above/beliw, it makes me wonder if it’s just an experience of this effect but at  a different scale of time oscillations, the effect so disruptive that from an outside observer the “object” would always look perpendicular from the “volatility field”.

So anyways, the satellites will come down when this happens yea? 
  @mleku  @Sasha

You guys we have a philosophical difference here. 
I'm not really concerned in which way will I dye or which way the humanity will go to hell. I'm not arguing anything you wrote  @mleku, I just thing I have bigger chances to get hit by a car tomorrow or get a terminal disease from pollution in our air and food  than to be lucky enough to dye of some cosmic scheme. 
Also I believe in deterministic universe so what needs to happen will happen. 
Also I refuse to be afraid of things that I can't influence.
Also I am only concerned with things that affect my life, I like to make things work weather it's fixing an old radio or optimizing heating with a home miner.
Philosophizing about digital stuff being real is fine, but only provided that the other party is aware of at least high school physics and is able to express ones thoughts in scientific language. 
 @Sasha "Do not ask weather the statement is true until you know what it means" -Errett Bishop
 @mleku Thank you for sharing your thoughts and resources, I will listen to the five hours of Jack Kruse and Andrew Huberman on Rick Rubin's podcast. (listed to the first hour already, sounds legit.) 
 Ok I don’t believe in determinism so you’re right, we do differ, and that’s ok 👍 
 determinism does not rule out entropy or chaotic dynamics, those can be created easily with feedback systems of all kinds... for example, the three body problem... 
 Determinism assumes that truth is static and real, which can’t be the case because everything vibrates. I would say determinism is mostly the case but only within a single observational spacial point, the future and past cannot be fully observed and thus cannot be deterministic 
 Wtf has nothing to do with vibration or “truth” 
I believe that every physical event has a consequence that is determined by laws of physics, as such every state is a consequence of a previous state in other words DETERMINED by the previous state.   I do not have guesses where the starting point was but everything what followed was determined by the starting state. Put in a sprinkle of multiverse theory and everything that can happen has happened. Biological bodies are part of physical realm hence no free will. 
Please don’t mistaken this to nihilism. 
 The uncertainty principal proves determinism wrong. 

Determinism would deny the validity or importance of categorical data, which I don’t agree with. 
 abstractions are not erased by determinism, they are models not things, not subject to physical laws 
 Then explain chemistry 
 what i just wrote before about the combinatorial complexity of states, this is even more the case as we are talking about the positions of gazillions of molecules and tehir associated particles (photons, electrons, protons, etc etc)

they only become predictable given control of their mixing within specific narrow conditions of their state space

reaction equilibrium, for example, relates to the level of energy lost in the transformation, and the energy required to undo this transformation - if you put too much energy in, it can go to other states instead

again, some of it doesn't do all the same thing, this is why purification is always a key step in chemistry... even 0.1% contamination can completely stop a reaction from taking place 
 i'm not saying that the world is not mostly deterministic, but the uncertainty principal makes 100% determinism impossible  
 i think it is logically impossible for a product of a system to model the system itself with enough precision to really see ethe future beyond a certain degree of detail of the states of the system

so it's not that it isn't predictable, it can't be predicted by us

by God yes, not by us, nor anything within this universe 
 Potato’s make electricity. I have 10,000 in my backyard powering a s9 

Science 🌈 
 they could, by fermenting them into alcohol fuel :D 
 See? I know stuff 😂😂😂😂 
 well you could fead the taters to pigs and catch the gas from their poop too 
 Oh man thank you 🤗 🤗 
 Just wanted to insert myself with some nonsense to break up the intelligence 😂 
 Opposite, you have rescued the most braindead convo on the protocol 
 Aww. You haven’t read my poop thread yet 🫂 you flatter me 
 Lol 😅 
 in order to make the effort to do any science at all you have to make the assumption that the system's parameters can be contained such that you can artificially cause an effect to occur

it is illogical to assume that you can't do this and the advance of science is entirely about discovering the conditions of replication, and has not ceased to allow us to uncover new things for thousands of years at least 
 nothing is 100% probable bro believe it or not you could die at any moment 
 Fuck just go back to school bro 
 Y so rude 
 Yep ✌️ 
 Did unfollow you already so i don’t have to get rude again. Bye 😘 
 i work with 256 bit large integers all the time with my code and the number that they can count is more than the estimated number of atoms in the universe

almost everything in the physical universe has more state space, so, determinism in the sense of reproducability requires you to massively narrow down the possible states of a phenomena to funnel it through the one you want to recur, and it's not ever really a perfect repetition 
 Sory, this is just a word salad 
 That’s not what my dad says 🥹👍 
 Than ask him to come debate,maybe he’s able to express himself in coherent language 
 i've done  a lot of experiments and self-observation regarding free will, it's a paradox

the entire phenomenon of learning is based on making decisions to respond in one way or another

from what i know of number theory it's just so far beyond predictable what it will do that it is effectively not possible to predict much of it

you really can't compare any two given experiences with each other because they simply are not the same 
 i think it's not that it isn't deterministic, but rather that it cannot be simulated accurately within the same system and thus is impossible to predict to any meaningful degree beyond some time horizon 
 glad you found huberman and kruse interesting, they both know their stuff, and it's a bit off the mainstream health map, but of course - lots of money in wireless networks, it's big tobacco all over again if you ask me

in any case it's gonna be a moot point if the intensity of geomagnetic storms continues to escalate over the next 20 years, no radio will be working after another carrington event, lots of power wires catching fire, and all that

it's not about being afraid, it's being realistic - make a trajectory to be ready to go steam age for a decade possibly, and maybe consider moving somewhere far from the sea

when i realised that we really are looking at impending geomagnetic chaos - and you can see this by an uptick in whale beachings and problems with aircraft navigation systems now for almost a decade, there is no question that something bad is in the pipes

i think it could be terminal, but i'm just gonna assume it's steam age for a decade and work on that basis

i like food cooked with fire anyway 
 With huberman as a sanity check i can spend time on listening to random recommendations xD 
 I’m surprised your profile picture has sunglasses after listening to a significant amount of Kruse 😉 
 they are class 5 IR blocking glasses that stop CCDs catching my eyes

i probably should not wear them all the time outside haha 
 For welding? 
 for cameras to not capture images of my face that can me automatically recognised 
 Ahh, smart 
 yeah, i've tested it... outside in bright sunshine, a photo of my face all you see when you crank up the brightness is the lenses become mirrors, because they are blocking all light the camera is receiving through from the inside 
 and yes they are welding safety glasses... not as dark as the kind on the masks but very dark.. plenty dark enough to stop CCDs, which are IR sensitive, from registering anything through them 
 Maybe if we meet in person one day I’ll show you what I’m referring to
