Space Weather Expert: Pole Shifts, NASA Cover-ups & Super Flares | Stefan Burns
Geophysicist Stefan Burns debunks solar doomsday narratives while detailing the real risks of space weather on infrastructure, explaining that Earth's magnetic field and geophysical systems are deeply interconnected withsummarySolar Storm Impacts: A Carrington-level event (like 1859) would cause global blackouts and satellite loss; a 'super flare' (10-100x stronger) could cause a giant EMP effect, leading to deep dielectric charging in satellitakeawayHistorical Precedents: The 1972 solar storm was strong enough to detonate sea mines off Vietnam due to velocity and density, despite lacking the magnetic configuration for a full geomagnetic storm.
