Concerns about solar storms disrupting internet and power systems are rising, particularly with predictions of a potential event in 2025. A recent video highlights the risks associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and their capacity to cause significant communication outages. Estimates suggest a 2% chance of a major disruption during the upcoming solar cycle. The imminent CME expected this Friday further emphasizes the urgency of the issue. Overall, the potential impact of solar storms on technology remains a critical topic for discussion.
