What If a Solar Storm Hit Earth in 2024?

The Sun is releasing massive spurts of energy that are headed directly toward Earth. And if they hit us, it could change everything. Power grids could be wiped out. Our communications could cease to exist. Humanity might be put back into the Stone Age. All because of a solar storm. But what makes them so powerful? How is it possible for something like this to happen in 2024? And why are they so dangerous?

Good luck proving I owe student loans if *every single computer on Earth* is fried.

[Realnatesellers]

YouTube literally always has the exact video I need…. Good luck tonight everyone!

[HyperHrishiHD]

Wow, I love to do workouts in the middle of a solar storm. Thanks!

[jaylinsmith]

Let's not forget. Fans and air-conditioned will be shut down
Also ATM would not be working

[StoryPotter]

My worst fear is i will lose all music libraries, VST instruments and FL Studio projects

[anthonyshiels]

If the electrical power grid was placed underground along with sensitive infrastructure there would be much less damage done to it by electromagnetic induction.

[WolfKing]

This is happening rn and literally nothing changed....

I always love this guy's what if videos

[SSBUFightersCreator]

This is not how it looks, if it exist, me and humanity would be doomed to be wiped out by deadly and hellish solar storms we've seen

[HolySmokes-_-]

People will earn the ability to not get cancelled and therefore hell will break loose

What's more worrying is that our magnetic field is weakening every year which is concerning.

[Space_Library]

Wow, I never realized the extent of the damage a solar storm could cause until watching this video. The breakdown of the science behind solar flares and coronal mass ejections was incredibly informative. It's definitely motivated me to look into emergency preparedness measures!

It's going to suck if GPS stops working. We'll have to go back to paper maps.

[megwaffles]

bro, people went crazy when ROBLOX shut down for like 3 days. imagine how people are gonna be like when this happens

[Incogk]

Well, lucky for us, we are in the current Solar Maximum (until October), and a few flares already DID cause issues in January and a few days ago. Therefore, this video isn't really a "What if", but "when". Lucky us.

Me one second after it happens: Rick GRIMES

[amberg]

2 weeks after you posted this video. Phone services went down. News reporter are saying solar storm.

[DaBesst]

Love how relevant this video is for now and the coming years
