I agree - this is a perfect example where a person's reputation speaks for them. OP has already had people vouch for his/her reputation, while Dr. Astro has the opposite. I don't understand much of this either, so I would have to take your lead and defer to the experts.

I did do some reading up on the Carrington event of 1859 as well as the Solar Super Storm of 1921. I don't think we really know what something of that magnitude would do to the world's infrastructure.

God damn people, go to school for engineering! There must not be enough of us left, sadly...

Our system is designed for such an event. We have surge breakers before the transformers, we all have a top ground to absorb such a thing, we have A/C for fuck sake... on & on

I'm not gonna go into the details, as I've posted this plenty enough times & do not give a shit anymore, but we would need something a crap load larger to pull a stunt like 1859.


You can all thank Tesla for that!

Hell you can even toss most new cell phones in a microwave for 30seconds and they won't die, but a hot dog (being 60-80% water) splits. You are 70-80% water. For the sun to bring down 1st-world grids would first bring you=hotdog.
