The SCARY Truth Behind The Northern Lights | Joe Rogan & Greg Overton

The northern lights in scotland are outstanding

99.9% of the population, doesn't have a clue. How dangerous these events can be.

Gamma rays do not travel faster than light. It takes about 12 minutes to reach us.

I saw an explanation from a HAARP scientist saying its a phenomena called "Airglow"(wich looks like Aurora borealis around the earth) wich occurs because they heat up the sky, and you can also look up that they were doing HAARP expirements in Alaska, on the exact date of the "polar lights" from may 8 - 10.

Well i grow up in the 80s and 90s. So I’m happy if we lose the internet. Bring it on. Touch some grass

I learn something new everytime I watch you Joe...keeps me interested!!!! Thanks man

Just like everyone loves "red skies", what they don't want to accept is that it means there's a lot of dust or ashes in the air. Northern Lights are pretty, but they definitely indicate some crazy stuff that will go through electronics like a knife through butter.

Won't matter if you have an "old car," you won't be able to get gas for it and roads will also be fairly clogged with dead cars.

The effect of a "Carrington" event depends on two variables, neither of which are fully understood: 1) The size and intensity of the solar flare (the threat) and 2) The current state of the Earth's electromagnetic field (the protection). So, anyone who is claiming to understand what might happen would have to base it on a bunch of assumptions and have a wide range of outcomes. We just don't know....but it would not be good to find out the hard way.

Maybe we should be more worried about the plastic in all of the water we drink.

Look at historical accounts, like seeing the northern lights in ancient Egypt or Rome

Idk, I think we have a better chance getting fucked by a EMP than a solar storm IMO.

I'll keep pushing that window

I genuinely wouldn't mind having a solar flare knock out pretty much all of our technology aside from a handful of things like A/C, medical devices, video games, and heavily distorted electric guitars.

We seen it all the way down here in the southern part of west Tennessee. Beautiful but very dangerous.

A large coronal mass ejection would cause chaos and a lot of damage to our electrical grid, a lot of sensitive electronics would be destroyed, but there are a lot of things that would survive, and the electrical grid would be repaired in a few months at most. Most automobiles would be harmed but they would be repairable. Any vehicles protected by a metal roof ( metal carport or metal roofed garage) or substantial concrete structure ( such as a parking garage) would have protection from the electrical damage caused by the solar flares. Satellites,,, space vehicles, and cell towers… would be toast, on the day side of earth. The internet, wouldn’t be useable until we could replace our satellites and cell towers. So not the Stone Age but maybe the 1970’s for a year or so.

EFI Toyota pickup trucks started in 1986 👍🏽

If you remove your car battery prior to a CME, your car will be fine. Any item that runs on electricity, if you remove the electrical source it'll be fine. Same rule applies to an EMP.

Fun fact solar flares / northern lights have a link to some epileptic’s seizures increasing ,

I live in northern Saskatchewan and they were the best I`ve ever seen
