Does anyone have any thoughts on any relationships between the recent solar flares and magnetic storms and the hurricanes and Mexican earthquake? Is this coincidence or does major space weather events result in major earth weather? https://www.space.com/38057-sun-unleashes-decades-strongest-solar-flare.html https://www.space.com/38057-sun-unleashes-decades-strongest-...

There's also the eclipse preceding these events. Of course there are relationships, I just don't think most of us (scientists or scientifically inclined) know how to see them, since some of the links are not in the 'rational' space. Shamans still have better answers than scientists to these kinds of questions, but I don't think that most people want to hear the answers. Either way something extraordinary is taking place, hopefully it will lead to something positive in the end.

  Dude, you're blowing my mind which your causality warping.

  What a load of crock. Eclipses have nothing whatsoever to do with solar flares, Shamans are con men and have no answers to anything relevant that scientists could not answer better and most people do not want to hear the answers any more than they want to hear other random bullshit. If the links are not in rational space they do not exist, period.

    Turns out, eclipses have everything to do with solar flares and every other phenomena you observe: You. All of these things happen to you. We've been trained to look at reality as something 'out there', but truth is that reality happens inside your consciousness and it's unclear where mind ends and 'reality' starts. It's unclear if there's anything but consciousness (note that the 'brain' might also be a construct of consciousness). Shamans - not the con men - devote their life to studying and sharing the relationship between consciousness, mind, nature/universe, what was before birth and what follows after. There are tools and practices to take you on these voyages where physics and rationality don't apply and if you go there once... to put it lightly, things won't look the same as they did before. Not a time and place to go deeper, some answers come when we go on to the next stage, but there's a lot more than what the textbooks teach.

      Reality exists independent of the observer. If there is some relationship between eclipses and hurricanes or between solar flares and seismic activity, they existed long before life originated on earth and would continue to exist far beyond our extinction. While we should not discount their possibility without some research, there is not much reason to believe there is such a connection without further evidence.

        Quantum mechanics is about probabilities. Just because there's an infinitesimally small probability of something being possible doesn't make it a foregone conclusion.

  Uh, you sure you are "scientists or scientifically inclined"?

  The hell? What training exactly does a Shaman undergo to receive his authentic certificate of Shamanism, and how is this superior to the specialized academic training received by scientists in the fields relevant to this phenomena?

  Claiming you have an answer is not preferable to admitting you just don't know.

  You can't be serious. Shamans? You think Shamans are a thing? Not only that, you think they are a better thing than scientists? What kind of Whacky Friday antics is going on here at HN today?

http://quakewatch.net/ http://quakewatch.net/ attempts to predict earthquakes using solar factors (and things like outgoing longwave radiation). https://twitter.com/thereals0s https://twitter.com/thereals0s has some snaps of their alert maps leading up to the quake (this one happened to be in their alert zone). Edit- Also related-site http://spaceweathernews.com/ http://spaceweathernews.com/ has a lot of pretty graphs to look at if you're interested in this stuff

  That site has an interesting setup where they want you to pay them $2 a month to do work for their app, in return for youtube shoutouts. Oh, they’re New Age scammers? Haven’t seen that in a while, but you can tell from the magical powers ascribed to anything related to “energy”.
