Well, sunspot cycle 24 has been highly unusual so I believe that significant transformation is taking place in the solar system (see energy ribbon recently discovered) and, of course, in the the EM characteristics of the Sun...itself.
The Sun going blank after 1111 could be very significant, but depending primarily on how long it stays blank, specially since we're suppose to be moving towards a solar peak at the end of 2012 (with some saying middle of 2013)! We will have to see what happens next?
P.S. I am not sure why this web site feels the need to deny, dismiss and/or ignore the year "twenty twelve" and replace it with that sentence!?
