Solar Superstorm Could ‘Wipe Out the Internet’ for Weeks or Months, Scientist Says

Professor Peter Becker is working with a team whose goal is to create an early warning system for dangerous solar activity that could damage critical technology.

We may marvel at the Northern Lights, but that same solar storm energy could one day create what one researcher described as an "internet apocalypse."

"The internet has come of age during a time when the sun has been relatively quiet, and now it's entering a more active time," said Professor Peter Becker of George Mason University. "It's the first time in human history that there's been an intersection of increased solar activity with our dependence on the internet and our global economic dependence on the internet."

Becker is the lead investigator on a project with the school and the Naval Research Laboratory to create an early warning system.

"There have been a lot of (solar) flares," Becker said. "Flares are when the sun brightens, and we see the radiation, and that's kind of the muzzle flash. And then the cannon shot is the coronal mass ejection (CME). So, we can see the flash, but then the coronal mass ejection can go off in some random direction in space, but we can tell when they're actually going to head towards Earth. And that gives us about 18 hours of warning, maybe 24 hours of warning, before those particles actually get to Earth and start messing with Earth's magnetic field."

Large blobs of plasma, or superheated matter, fly through space in a CME. A percentage hit the Earth, which distorts our planet's magnetic field. That third prong on the electric plug, which usually gives excess electrical charges a safe place to go, becomes "like a big electrical circuit."

It has happened before

It has happened before. Becker points to the Carrington Event in 1859. That was the last time a CME reached Earth.

"It actually took out the telegraph system, sparks were literally flying off the telegraph lines," Becker said. "Some operators got electrocuted because the wires ended up carrying high voltage, which they were never supposed to do, but the magnetic field variations became so strong it almost became a generator system and drove these currents down telegraph wires."

The heavy-duty wires of the telegraph were robust compared to the fragile electronics of today, he said.

Euthanasia

16,499 people died by euthanasia in Canada in 2024, accounting for 5.1% of all deaths in the country.

According to the latest report on “medical assistance in dying” (MAiD) from Health Canada released at the end of last month, there was a 6.9% increase in state-assisted deaths in Canada in 2024.

In 2024, although assisted suicide is permitted, in which the person who wishes to end their own life self-administers the lethal substance, there was not a single case of assisted suicide. Instead, every single person who died under Canada’s MAiD programme died by euthanasia. In 2023, there were fewer than five instances of assisted suicide.

There have been a total of 76,475 instances of euthanasia and assisted suicide since they were made legal in Canada in 2016.

Euthanasia

Posters have appeared on the New York subway offering would-be parents the opportunity to "genetically optimise" their future baby.

By signing up to their $8,999 service, Nucleus Genomics will profile the full DNA sequence of up to 20 embryos for couples undergoing IVF.

The New York start-up's slick app then allows would-be parents to review their brood for known disease genes, conditions like autism and ADHD, as well as traits like eye colour, height, and intelligence.

Peter Thiel, who shares similar views to Musk on the topic, supported the start-up through his Founders Fund. – Article

OpenAI's Sam Altman has also invested in gene-editing startup, Preventive, to eliminate gene-hereditary diseases from babies.

The first successful IVF (test tube baby) occurred in 1978. The place, perhaps appropriately, considering English author Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, was England.

The irreversible transformations to the human genome will make the 4IR a pandora’s box.

AI INFLUENCERS

AI influencers are now boasting personalities, backstories and even making ill-advised decisions

Aitana Lopez is an AI influencer who makes as much as $11,000 per month.

She’s part of a new breed of digitally created avatars winning the battle for the public’s attention, joined by the likes of chart topping “singers” Solomon Ray and Breaking Rust and “blonde bombshell” Mia Zelu, who stole the show at the Wimbledon tennis tournament — even though she wasn’t physically there.

Aitana has made promo videos for Amazon, while huge global brands such as Calvin Klein, Prada, Samsung and YouTube have all used AI influencers.

AI generated Christian recording artist Solomon Ray topped the Billboard gospel charts with his song “Find Your Rest.” He’s cleverly billed as a “Mississippi-made soul singer,” and has over 500,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.

One of the most followed AI influencers, Lil Miquela, caused serious backlash when she posted about being diagnosed ...
