Recent research uncovered evidence of an extreme solar storm that occurred around 12350 BC, stronger than any previously detected. This event has notable implications for our understanding of solar physics and risks posed to modern infrastructure. The extreme solar storm aligns with radiocarbon spikes observed in meteorological data, prompting discussions about the survivability of ancient populations and potential environmental impacts. While speculations about the storm’s immediate effects on early human life and the atmosphere are intriguing, the article emphasizes the need for more comprehensive quantitative data to fully assess the implications of such catastrophic solar events for today’s technology, including satellite and power systems.
