Solar Superstorm Warnings and Internet Vulnerability
Scientists are warning of a potential "solar superstorm" as the sun enters a more active cycle, which could cause widespread internet and power grid outages. Large blobs of plasma from solar flares have the potential to distort Earth's magnetic field and damage satellites. Listeners are jokingly advised to invest in ham radios and Faraday cages to prepare for a "ten days of darkness" scenario.
