A person who was dubbed the ‘dwelling Nostradamus’ has claimed his forecasts are continuously misunderstood as he predicts the world will see know-how blackouts this yr as a consequence of the usage of Electromagnetic Pulse know-how.
Athos Salomé, 36, who’s a skilled parapsychologist from Brazil, is also known as a psychic because of the accuracy of his insights and predictions, after beforehand foreseeing the coronavirus pandemic, Elon Musk shopping for Twitter and even Queen Elizabeth’s dying.
Talking completely to FEMAIL he has now warned that developments in warfare, comparable to Electromagnetic Pulse know-how (EMP) may have devastating results on the world.
Salomé, who predicted ‘three days of darkness’ in 2024, stated his forecast was ‘misunderstood’ when it was beforehand linked to a coronal mass ejection (giant expulsions of plasma and magnetic subject from the Solar’s corona).
He defined that this blackout alludes, to not an prevalence, however somewhat to trials involving EMP know-how and escalating tensions between Israel and Iran probably paving the way in which for big scale battle akin, to a Third World Warfare.

EMP, a specialised device designed to destroy info techniques, is a weapon that may render digital units ineffective, with out harming individuals or buildings.
Usually triggered by explosions at altitudes EMP interacts with the Earth’s magnetic fields to create pulses that may disrupt and injury digital gear and infrastructures.
Through the Chilly Warfare each the USA and the Soviet Union considered EMP as a device for disabling enemy infrastructure with out inflicting hurt immediately.
In 1962, the US detonated a 1.4 megaton nuclear warhead, in an experiment generally known as Starfish Prime, excessive within the environment 400 kilometres (250 miles) above the Pacific Ocean.
The explosion – the world’s strongest excessive altitude nuclear check – created an EMP robust sufficient to disrupt world radio communications, which led to the failure of the UK’s first satellite tv for pc, Ariel-1, and it even blow out streetlights on the bottom in Hawaii.
In immediately’s world, units exist which can be able to replicating EMP results, growing the menace in trendy technological dependent eventualities.
Non-nuclear localised EMP units do exist, and work by releasing a burst of vitality within the radiofrequency or microwave spectrum, which might overload and injury digital parts and techniques. However these are solely efficient on a small scale, disrupting a small metropolis.
Nonetheless the importance of EMP stays substantial because it has the potential to destabilise protection and communication techniques.

Salomé shared his perspective on the position of synthetic intelligence in conflicts, such because the one between Israel and Iran, highlighting its potential to revolutionise methods and warfare techniques.
The parapsychologist foresees a second in 2024 when each international locations might undertake AI applied sciences for protection and offensive functions.
He stated: ‘AI once more emerges as an element probably serving as each a peacekeeping device and an instigator of contemporary confrontations.
‘Superior nations, together with america have been quietly advancing EMP applied sciences for safety functions.
‘The US has been exploring EMP capabilities since Operation Prime exams within the Sixties aiming to make use of this know-how to neutralize threats with minimal bodily injury. Equally Russia and China are investing in EMP applied sciences as instruments to disrupt infrastructures of potential foes.
‘Even North Korea regardless of its limitations is displaying curiosity, in EMP know-how as a part of their preemptive strike techniques.
‘This shift, in adoption signifies a rising pattern the place EMP shouldn’t be merely considered as a weapon. As a necessary factor of upcoming navy endeavors having the potential to disrupt vital techniques considerably and swiftly.’
With the assistance of navy historical past and know-how knowledgeable Dr William Forstchen, MailOnline beforehand delved into the chilling potential of such a strike, exploring the unprecedented havoc it may wreak in Britain.
What are the quick and long-term results of an EMP strike?
The quick impact would devastate electrical infrastructure. Water and vitality provides can be knocked out instantly, and any heating system wanting burning firewood is now not obtainable.
Vehicles, computer systems, telephones, transport, banking… every thing that makes use of electrical parts or depends on digital techniques to function ceases to operate.
Except you are dwelling fully unsupported within the wilderness, this basically takes away your entry to water, warmth and meals – three components of the bottom stage of Maslow’s hierarchy of wants – and would basically set off a societal collapse in consequence.
The long-term results of an EMP strike are subsequently a dramatic discount in inhabitants.
Over weeks and months, most people dwelling in cities would die of thirst or hunger – or be killed in panic and violence, and anybody who requires common medical remedy would haven’t any likelihood of survival.
Entry to what little meals and water provides stay would after all be managed both by the federal government and the navy, or the best and violent armed gangs.
Within the US, Division of Vitality research estimate it may take as much as 5 years to get simply 20 per cent of the grid again on-line, by which level trendy society would have all however collapsed.
Is there any solution to defend in opposition to an EMP assault?
An EMP strike is a line-of-sight occasion, and since the weapon is detonated a whole lot of miles above the Earth, the goal space is huge.
There is no such thing as a possible way we will shield ourselves in opposition to an EMP blast due to the way in which wherein it’s deployed. In contrast to the UK, america has an ICBM nuclear missile defence system – there are dozens of missiles on standby able to intercept a nuclear missile and blow it up in area earlier than it re-enters the environment and hits the Earth.
However an EMP strike depends on the creator detonating the nuclear missile a whole lot of miles above the environment – the missile will be triggered inside 15-20 minutes of launch, making it basically inconceivable to intercept in time.
On the bottom we’ve got very restricted capability to guard the grid in opposition to an EMP strike however it will require a significant industrial improve. Many parts that underpin US and UK grid techniques are a long time previous.
Alternative components can be required, however most of those are engineered overseas and we do not have an emergency stockpile.
Authorities would wish to embark on a large improve programme that may contain designing and setting up key electrical grid parts, comparable to transformers and substations, to resist the results of an EMP.
This may be achieved via shielding and surge safety – however this could nonetheless solely have a restricted impact.
