The earth's past consists of many disastrous cycles both apparent and hidden they can be repaeated once in hundreds, thousands, millions or even billions of years. The sun plunge our cities into darkness and crash the internet who points a laser at earth from outer space could it be that even wars are cyclical and is humanity capable of breaking the world's secret cycles. The sun can throw us a real apocalypse the danger it causes first of all good to sort out solar cycles that we seem to have overlooked for Far too long.
The carrington event is the most powerful geomagnetic storm known to us in history. On September 1,1859 a solar superstorm occurred on earth making the sky sparkle with northern lights from Canada to the gulf of Mexico. The Telegraph the primary means of communication back then shorted out due to the power surge and although astronomers had already known about the 11 year long solar cycles nobody predicted the powerful carrington event we had ignored the sun's new hints for over a century.
In 1921 telephones all around the world went dead because of solar storm. In 1972 a geomagnetic Storm detonated american mines near the coast of Vietnam. In 1899 it caused a blackout in the canadian province of Quebec and there certainly will be no chance to ignore its next appearance. Although we haven't come any closer to solving the mystery of solar cycles the carrington event is bound to happen again in the following 150 years.
This time the geomagnetic storm will disable satellites power pants and instead of the telegraph will cause an internet shutdown if we don't do anything. The sun will set us back to the 19th century. Today we can only forecast a storm a few days before it occurs and turn all the equipment off so as not to burn out but in the end the sun will beat us anyway in 750 million years it's going to become so active that the earth's oceans will evaporate and neither plankton nor plants will be able to produce oxygen.
One billion years later a solar storm will blow the ozone layer away together with a part of the atmosphere all living creatures will be suffocating in a scorching radioactive desert. Currently scientists have no clue about what is going to happen we are too much used to the thought that we only watch nature from the sidelines when actually humanity is still its integral part what if people have their own cycles of destruction.
