Our sun is now a magnetic monopole. Who would have thought it?

Not possible.
Do NOT worry about the sun splitting in two.
Won’t happen.
Don’t worry about that possibility.
On the other hand — it might just be getting ready to go nova......

What is it? It's a medium size star closest to the Earth--but that isn't important right now.

I wouldn’t have.
I have no idea what that means.

Well, THAT explains Christie’s vote margin.

But such a subtle change in the sun—lowering its luminosity by about 0.1%—wouldn't be enough to outweigh the build-up of greenhouse gases and soot that most researchers consider the main cause of rising world temperaturesAl Gore can breathe easy.

Welcome King Barack "Canute" Obama the Great.....
...Obama issues an Executive Order to the Sun...
....to increase it's magnetic field....
and make a good crop of sunspots before elections in 2016....
(PhysOrg.com) -- Sunspot formation is triggered by a magnetic field, which scientists say is steadily declining. They predict that by 2016 there may be no remaining sunspots, and the sun may stay spotless for several decades.
The last time the sunspots disappeared altogether was in the 17th and 18th century, and coincided with a lengthy cool period on the planet known as the Little Ice Age....and lasted 400 years.
Good luck surviving with no electricity and GE modified seeds.

I had the same thought. It sounds like the beginning of “War of the Worlds” — “Scientists have noted strange explosions on the surface of Mars...”

People of Earth, attention... People of Earth attention.
This is a voice speaking to you from thousands of miles beyond your planet....
Look to your sun for a warning... Look to your sun for a warning.

A magnetic monopole is a hypothetical particle in particle physics that is an isolated magnet with only one magnetic pole. Scientists have been probing into quantum physics trying to find this exotic particle, but have had no luck. It features in string theory, as well as the grand unified field theory.
The fact that the sun appears to have a North but no South pole struck me as funny, although clearly it is not a true monopole.

Can’t the government declare the sun a blight and use eminent domain to take it over?
To: Cold Heart
Yup.
They wanted to head off the truth before it “got to the pass.”
