I have been following the magnetosphere discussion with great interest, even though I am a total noob when it comes to all that stuff. The images, the explanations, it is still a big algebra soup for me. But.. I do try to translate them to life as it is, also for me.

I can’t recall ever having the electricity and intensity of dreams I have experienced in the past couple of weeks. Energy spikes, looming headaches, but overwhelmingly positive power and determination. I know I do excel better in crisis situations (wished employers would notice as well), but most of the times I feel that nothing can touch me or us. Maybe that is why I also speak up so strong against negative discussions. Fuck negative energy.

This also triggers the investigator in me and I came across the study of the Rök Runestone. Apparently this discussion has been fired up again the past months, maybe connected to the year 2020. It is a study that holds the theory that the Rök Runestone is about climate change, a end of the world scenario fight between the moon and the sun, rather than a tribute of a father for a fallen son. A battle between dark and light, warmth and cold, life and death. Ragnarök, Battle of the Gods. Makes you wonder: Was Netflix in on this? (<- joke.)

Here is an interesting article that describes this study in noob language (my kind of language):

From the article:

"A powerful solar storm coloured the sky in dramatic shades of red, crop yields suffered from an extremely cold summer and later, a solar eclipse occurred just after sunrise. Even one of these events would have been enough to raise fears of another Fimbulwinter."

Eclipses and extreme winters featured prominently in Norse mythology: in particular, they were part of the tale of Ragnarök – a cataclysmic battle of the gods prophesied to bring about the end of the world.

Ragnarök told of the giant wolf Fenrir swallowing the Sun. In the process, the sky turned blood-red and sunlight "black" – and humanity fought a valiant last stand for survival.

The study document itself, The Rök Runestone and the End of the World can be found here, in a 32 pages pdf:

And of course, to show both sides of this discussion, a debunk theory as well

So from my unrestrained imagination, I connected the dots between the whole magnetosphere discussion and this Rök Runestone theory. Is there a connection? I really would not know. Most likely not, or..? I just thought it would offer an interesting angle to it.

For those who don’t have Netflix and want to watch the Ragnarök show

Synopsis: In the small fictional town of Edda coming of age people are forced to respond to climate changes. The ice caps are melting at a rate no one had anticipated. People go through long periods of drought. The winters are too warm. More and more frequently, people experience extreme cold bursts. In all ways extreme weather conditions. The world is changing, and some might claim that we're heading towards a new Ragnarok. Unless someone intervenes in time.

Apologies for the long two cents post.
