Global internet blackout soon may cause here is why!
Solar storms are undoubtedly one of the most stunning natural phenomena that may be observed. However, according to a recent study, the next solar storm that hits Earth may damage infrastructure and create a 'cyber apocalypse.' The internet shutdown is expected to endure many months.
Sangeetha Abdu jyothi of the university of California, Irvine, and VMware Research performed the study. Her research was presented at the SIGCOMM 2021 conference on data communication.
According to a recent study titled "Solar Superstorms: Planning for an Internet Apocalypse," there is a 1.6 to 12% probability of a solar storm occurring, which could create an internet shutdown and totally change our wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">digital world. jyothi also speculated that the huge storm may be a solar superstorm, comparing it to a black swan occurrence.
It is essential to remember that even while most of the underwater connections connecting continents are connected through fibre optic cables, the repeaters that magnify the current at regular intervals are very prone to failure and so represent a risk during a solar storm.
She also cautioned that if another solar storm hits the Earth, we are unprepared to deal with the repercussions. Before this, strong solar storms were reported in 1859, 1921, and 1989, with the most recent one being in 1989. In 1989, a solar storm knocked down a Hydro-Quebec power grid, resulting in a nine-hour power outage in northeastern Canada.
