Truer words were never spoken.
Cycle 25 has been wild so far and promises to be one of the best in recent cycles for Amateur Radios Ops. Outages are never fun but it keeps it interesting.
You're correct, it's "when" not "if". And a bigger one is likely as well... Sooner or later, but not "never".
I'm 72, and have only a quarter of my life left (if that), so statistically I probably won't get to experience a Carrington-like event. But if one happens before I croak, that's okay with me. Everybody else might not feel the same, of course...
What!?! No picture of Ric Flair!?!
Better get your tin foil hats at the ready!................
But then again, not even the food pyramid I learned in health class in 1985 and was told is based on “science” is accurate.
Heck, for all I know, the sun pushes the earth out from its orbit as the solar winds intensify, because of the tidal effect and as the sun losses enough mass.
Who knows, all just theories we take as the truth. Not even the OOA theory is really for sure, not even evolution as a whole... Ask the Chinese and they will tell you man originated from Asia and that they have older skeletal remains than found in Africa.
***All I do know for sure is that on a cosmic level, I'm an ant, and my comprehension of the world around me is like that of an ant as well.***
I gave my entire domicile a giant Hershey Kiss-style cover.
Very true. It would be hard to revert back to my tribal ancestors way of living .
There would have been no natural winters, as the amount of smoke and other toxins in the high atmosphere created a “nuclear “ winter, bringing on the Younger Dryas event - one of the coldest periods ever.
This was a real climate change with weather patterns all over the world altering.
The event lasted that long because comet debris [ the Taurid meteor shower of today from the break up of 100 mile dia Comet Eniki ] continually rained down with some bodies a mile in diameter - these landed on the ice cap and remnant impact points are just now being discovered.
Could easily have been gamma rays and all life in that area wiped out or everyone made into a Hulk...
I read a science fiction story (the gist) of a boy who could see the future. His predictions came true and one day he said that all troubles would be over. People around the world were overjoyed. What he did not tell them was he saw that the sun was to go nova.
Lots of charged particles will hit the atmosphere creating more clouds and likely more cooling.
