d.
When John Koestler is teaching his class at MIT at the beginning of the movie, the equations behind him on the blackboard are Maxwells equations of electro-magnetics. The Earths magnetosphere is what protects us from harmful solar radiation called "solar wind" by channeling these particles to the Earths magnetic poles, causing the phenomenon known as the Aurora or Northern Lights. This same solar wind, when extreme, cannot be fully mitigated by the Earths magnetic field and may cause electrical and radio communications problems. Theoretically, a very powerful solar emission, such as the one which destroys the Earth in the movie, is a very extreme case of solar wind, called a Coronal Mass Ejection. Hence, the equations on the blackboard are a subtle and clever hint of what will happen later in the movie. Additionally, the equations are, rather unusually, given in _spherical_ coordinates, with rudimentary drawings of a circle (possibly representing the Sun) and the Earth and its magnetosphere, all of which indicate that this is a deliberate and clever hint of the movie-makers. However, NASA has recently predicted that a very big solar wind would hit the Earth on the proposed "End of the Year" year of 2012, but it may cause communication problems.
