What are your thoughts /sci/?

Please help me with something that really bothers me /sci/:
Would we still be able to survive the solar wind if the earth`s magnetic field dissolves?

thanks for answeres

The sun shoot electrons and protons in every direction, this creates a ball shaped sphere (roughly from sun to pluto) defending the solar system against cosmic rays. However this shooting around would kill us if we hadn't our earth's electro-magnetic field, wich is created through the earth's spinning and its liquid core.

If the sun would suddelny stop "glowing", we would die of cosmic rays before we would freeze to death.

Pic related it the magnetic field wich is alsways deformed because of the sun's "shooting"

The next peak in solar activity will occur during 2012/2013, how will you protect your computer?
