WOMAN: Josh?

What is it?

♪

I'll drive.

♪

Computers and telecoms are up on the genny
I'll make sure that the ISD has power.

I was looking for Pam, but the
sky is literally falling, Josh.

JOSH: Checking with my
planet to figure out why.

Great. Look, could you fix your
attention on my son Ali, for a minute?

No. really. You need to. Just be a
human being for one minute, alright?

MALE: I'll be back, okay?

Okay.
-MALE: That's an order.

Yeah.

Did you know that Earth
is filled with liquid, see?

It's molten iron and nickel.

The fact that it's spinning,
generates a magnetic field

that keeps us safe from all
kinds of space radiation.

[chuckle]

Without it, the air that
gives us the ability to live...

just sputters away....

into outer space...

and we die.

You just can't tell a baby
we're going to die, Josh.

Yes, I can.
-No.

Question is, what is
he going to do about it?

Thank you, Pam.

Oh.
-Oh. [chuckles]

MALE: You ready for the meeting?

Yeah. Ready.

[Pam clears throat]
-JOSH: Anything bothering you, Pam?

I'm about to get skewered,
Josh. Can you be more specific?

The solar flare happened at the same
time as those 8+ quakes. -PAM: Uh-huh.

North Pole lurches over two thousand
miles in the same exact night.

Oh, come on.
-Aside from the electricity being out.

Tiksi, Siberia is Santa's
new home. Ho, ho, ho.

PAM: Are you sure?
-Calculated the magnetic variance myself.

Pam, I think this signals
a polarity reversal.

Well, it's scary, I know. But
it's not totally unprecedented.

I mean, it happens, what,
every half a million years.

JOSH: Anthropologists believe that the
last big one, was 780,000 years ago,

and that was a massive extinction event.

Now, large fossil mammal records
are hard to come by, but I think...

Josh! Six hundred extra high voltage power
transformers just blew across North America

because of the CME we didn't see coming.

All the lights are out. Everywhere.

Now I need to go in there and tell the
Secretary of Energy why this isn't my fault.

PAM: So, please. Can this wait?

No! If this is what can happen to us
from a solar storm with a magnetic field,

I've got to tell them about it.
-Oh no, Josh!

You're smart.

You're so smart. When you
started working here I gambled

that you were totally worth it
if you filed a Title 7 against me.

Is it too late to claim a harassment?

So be smart enough to know you
can't just go in there and say

that you think the earth's
outer core is slowing down.

Oh, and by the way a GS-13 from Colorado
would love to just borrow the two most powerful

particle colliders to see
if he could speed it up.

That's not how it works, sweetie.

If I tell them about the impending danger,

they're going to have
to do something about it!

PAM: Yeah! Like find another
practical physicist to do your job.

JOSH: Pam!

Pam! Wait!

Pam!

JOSH: Dammit. Dr. Cushing! [Pam gasp]

JOSH: What is it?

I lost them.

What?
-The embryos, they didn't take.

JOSH: Oh, Pam. I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

It just feel like it wasn't
meant to be, you know?

I know. I know. I know. I know.

Think about this. Maybe it's for the best.

I mean...

We have a lot to handle right
now and the world needs us.

I need you.
-I know.

Do you understand?
-Yes. -Are you listening?

You want me to keep quiet.

Yes.

Please.

You have a habit of...
-Saying what's on my mind?

Pissing people off. I'm up against it.

My department needs funding.
Please don't blow this for me.

This reverse polarity is a serious
thing, Pam. It can be life ending.

Then publish an article. Build
a consensus. I don't know.

On paper no one can tell you
don't care what they think.

And I can just, what, sit around and wait
for a peer review while the magnetosphere

disappears above my head and
they can argue about punctuation?

Then get your own meeting.

MALE: Not the right day
to smell the roses, Pam.

Homeland Security protocols
kicked in when the power went down,

so we're going live from Camp David.
The President will be joining us.

SECRETARY: Ron, can you hear me? -Yes. Thank
you, Mr. Secretary. We are a go on our end.

SECRETARY: Terrific. My hosts at CERN
have been gracious enough to allow me

the use of their hard-wired
collider control room feed.

[female voice] This way? Okay.

Thank you for waiting.

WOMAN: What is the status?

Madam President.

I'm the Director of NOAA
Space Weather, Ron Livingston,

this is the Deputy Director and
satellite liaison to NASA, Pamela Cushing.

She oversees the Solar Dynamic Observatory.

So what happened, and why were
we caught with our pants down?

The sun blasted us with three waves radiation,
ionization, and a violent coronal mass ejection.

Sunspots more powerful than a
billion thermonuclear weapons,

traveling at over 1,000
kilometers per second.

That's what caused the spectacular
aurora borealis as far as Panama.

And that's what destroyed our geodetic
satellites. As well as our power transformers.

We were utterly unaware
and completely unprepared?

Madam President. Space Weather predicted
heightened coronal mass ejections.

SECRETARY: The record
reflects their warnings.

PRESIDENT: Well, it wasn't enough!

PAM: Ma'am, if I may. We recommend
steps to mitigate the damage

in case sunspots threaten the Earth again.

If we directly link regional
power systems to advanced warning

from Solar Dynamic Observatory. We
can build back a better infrastructure.

These steps will cost money.

Thankfully, our magnetic field
deflected most of the sun's discharge.

My colleague and husband, Joshua
Chamberlain, from the U.S. Geological Survey,

can talk about the threat
confronting our planet.

Josh.

Um.

Hi. I'm Joshua Chamberlain
of the U.S. Geological Survey,

and I'm worried about a solar
flare hitting our weakening

magnetic field, Madam President.

It is weakening. Dramatically.

MALE: Excuse me. Sorry to interrupt. But...

JOSH: Dr. Zicree, sir. It is an honor and I
was looking forward to talking with you about

the Large Hadron Collider and
helping us solve this problem.

What exactly kind of problem
do you think we're having?

Well, over the past millennium
our magnetic field has been

decreasing by over 5% per century,

and in the last 100 years
that accelerated to over 10%.

I'd like to focus on preventing
mega solar storms from

destroying our nations infrastructure.

That is what I am talking
about, Madam President.

JOSH: If our magnetic field were to dwindle or
disappear entirely due to a polarity reversal,

then the same storm would cause epic tectonic
dislocation and atmospheric sputtering.

And the end of all human life as we know it.
Aside from just some downed power lines. [laughs]

JOSH: Continents sinking.
-RON: Chamberlain.

Josh, sit down. -That's why I propose
jump-starting the Earth's core.

It's impossible.

That's not impossible. You can use CERNS's
LHC and the Relativistic Ion Collider

over at Brookhaven... -What the hell
does this have to do with sunspots?

...dual singularities at both facilities,

we can capitalize on the current retrofits.
-Black holes.

You want to create black holes
in two particle colliders?

On purpose? Are you serious?

RON: Chamberlain, that is enough.

Yes. I believe the gravitons emitted,
I believe would start the dynamo effect.

Getting the earth's core spinning again.

Thus recharging the magnetosphere.

Alright. Thank you, sir.

If another solar flare hits our planet
and our magnetic field is down...

ZICREE: If. -The earth would
turn into Mars! -Josh. Time to go.

Would you please escort this man
out? -JOSH: No oxygen. No life.

RON: You are through. Get
him out of here. -That's it.

This is all happening right
now and nobody cares about it.

Thank you. Madam President, I apologize.

[rumbling]

I can't believe those people. -PAM: What
were you thinking, Josh. -Oh, I don't know,

maybe if they give a damn.

PAM: I have to go back in
there and repair the damage.

What if we don't... What
if we don't have time?

You know this could happen.

Of course it can happen.

The Colorado River could flood.

New York, and L.A. all in the
same day. But what about us?

What about our life?

Okay. Thank you, soldier.

Please tell your staff sergeant to make it

Soldiers? It's just me, him, and the

I need three or four of you guys on the

this facility will not flood. It can't. The

designed to run in parallel.

And that's perfect for what we need, but...

Normally, you'd just take two particles
running in opposite directions and

crash them into each other at a

We need to recalibrate the cannons to
fire multiple bursts of particles at

ever-accelerating rates. Each
particle faster than the last.
