Solar flare biggest ever recorded

[_Acid_Head_]

Man if they get much bigger the magnetic field of the earth won't be able to help us and portions of this planet could be flashed fried.

and then...

Earth has a molten core of metal that spins. Around that core is more metal that does not move as fast as the core. This creates a magnet

So how does the sun stop the core from spinning? The magnetic field is strong enough to keep us safe from the sun. Your first post is paranoid, then you explain how we're safe from the sun, I'm confused. If the earth has lasted this long with life, I'm sure the magnetic field around earth won't give out just now, no point in worrying about it.
