Everyone here keeps commenting on how we would be better off without the internet for a while... Well, there's more to the internet than social media. Social media we could do without for a while yes... But losing the internet we would have no access to our bank accounts, no access to getting the medications that people need every single day, food water gas etc. Virtually everything we use in life is dependent on an some sort of cellular connection. So while I'm not entirely sure this will happen in our lifetime if it ever does, then it will be much more devastating than losing Instagram or tiktok. Lol

Straight up in the middle of the sky, was an intense and enormous bright white light with red and green ribbons coming off of it on all sides. It encapsulated the entire sky from horizon to horizon. The light was so bright, it made it seem like early morning just before the sun comes up. Basically daytime. I saw it with about a dozen friends and we all hung out on the roof of my moms house. It lasted for hours! The light itself was about 4 times the size of the full moon and streaked off in a couple directions before all the red and green started. It was hauntingly beautiful.

Almost everything that was predicted to happen was later proven to be falsehoods and fearmongering by those many shameless experts. Nuclear power plants have several purely mechanical redundancies that do not rely on code to enter safe mode. Boeing & other engineering giants published several articles proving that modern planes wouldn't fall out of the sky. There are still Reddit threads and details on other platforms debunking a lot of the nonsense that went on. The Y2K issues were minor, and much was done early to prevent data backup and transfer issues, but nothing like the lies peddled by mainstream media and their chosen experts. Many of these fixes could have even been done after 2000. All that would have happened was a loss of revenue for certain businesses during the delays. Nothing earth-shattering was mitigated; rather, some irritating delays were prevented. The same playbook was used for Covid and the Vax, among other things. Never waste a crisis, they say.

Losing the internet due to a major solar storm would be minor and the least of humantie's worries because If the internet went down completely it wouldn't go down alone. The electrical grid would have preceded it into the grave (it just hasn't been hardened enough to protect it). Without a working electrical grid the consequences will be catastrophic. Human society probably wouldn't completely collapse (though it would come very close due to our almost total dependence on technology). It would instead transition over time into something that moved much much slower. Probably something similar to mid to late 1800's level technology. IMO the transition would be the most chaotic and dangerous for about 10 to 20 years after the event which is my estimate of how long the transition would take. Most human deaths would take place in major cities due to starvation and a lack of ability to survive in a no longer technological environment as well as in smaller towns defending themselves from the influx of the techno crowd fleeing to the rural areas where the agricultural production centers are. There will be many other sources of human death too numerous to discuss here. IMO the death toll would be highest in population centers most dependent on technology. I estimate that by the time the post apocalypse transition is complete that the world's human population will have shrunk to between 1 billion to 2 billion (max). The transition survivors will be the smartest, strongest, bravest, most good, most creative, most cooperative and (most unfortunately) most evil among us. In the short run the reset that will take place will be a most terrible time. In the long run? It may very well turn out to be just what mankind needs to keep it from destroying itself. Let's all hope that the doom sayers about a major mass solar ejection ocuring doesn't happen anytime soon.

Some people recommend old microwave ovens. We won't really find out until after the event.

A fact not taken into account here is that if our magnetic poles have a major shift at the same time as a significant CME, we're more vulnerable to wider spread electrical issues AND its like aiming a blow torch at Earth with inadequate PPE, meaning a properly functioning magnetic field around Earth.

I agree and I am about to listen. Lol Much Love. ❤

The Suspicious Observer channel playlists would be a good resource to look into this subject matter.

The thing often missed is a major CME even a glancing blow would also knock out/kill many of the power networks transformers, in the area of contact. World wide there is only a handful of companies that make the big voltage transformers needed for electricity transmission. It would be highly likely that they would not be able to fill the sudden demand for new ones. Meaning whole areas or counties could be on limited power for several months or years.

Oh the books I would finally read if there was no internet!

Its not really about the undersea cables, its the whole power grids and anything else electrical that could potentially get fried from the EMP.

I'm a pretty paranoid person, and I have anxiety and sensitivity over the "end of the world" related topics. I'm wondering if we could really withstand this kind of event. Not everything is protected and people in Gen Z and Gen Alpha would be scratching their heads thinking of what they could be doing. Personally, when this does happen, I think it would be pretty nice for everyone to disconnect. But that also includes the power grids. If we don't have power grids, the whole world stops spinning basically. Hospital monitors, fridges, cooking appliances, lights, especially TV's, would all fall victim to this.

I respectfully strongly disagree that the undersea cables will be the hardest to replace. The large transformers on land will be the hardest. There are hundreds of thousands of them across just the USA, with many millions more around the planet. Most of these are well over 50 years old, and very few of them are uniform in any way or have any part that could be considered "standard". We have no spares sitting in a government warehouse somewhere to replace them. We don't even have PARTS to repair them anymore; when something breaks, power has to be re-routed to another old, over-worked unit until a replacement part can be custom-made by hand and fitted to the ailing unit. To make matters worse, there are only three factories left on the planet making these giant transformers, and EACH transformer built takes AT LEAST 18 MONTHS to complete. For most, it's a full two years. Each of these three factories were backed up with a waiting list that was THREE YEARS LONG when I researched this back in 2015-16. China, specifically, had the bulk of the waiting list orders, to facilitate their mass-employment ghost-city projects in China and Africa. And while since then China *may* have built their own factories (I don't know if they have but it would be sensible), they certainly aren't going to be entertaining manufacturing transformers for any other country until they've replaced all of their own. Once a transformer is made (which takes electricity to do, of course--electricity that won't be available because most of the planet's transformers and aged power lines will be piles of melted slag), it must be put onto a cargo ship and transported overseas, then lifted onto a wide-load trailer by crane, and driven OTR by a tractor trailer - all of which run on refined fuel that cannot be made without electricity. Meanwhile, in the first week we'll have lost nearly all of our population that relies on electricity to live, such as those on oxygen or being kept alive by hospital machines. In the first two months with no replacement medicines being shipped into our just-in-time inventory pharmacies, we'll lose anyone who requires daily medication to live. These months will also see great losses due to dysentery, food poisoning, dehydration, and starvation, as the sewage plants and water pumps won't be working, refrigeration will be but a memory, and trucks won't be bringing daily shipments of groceries. The summer's heat wave will kill off a massive amount of the population without air conditioning to save them, and the winter's freezes will kill off even more. That's not even taking into consideration the riots and panic that will ensue, and all of the deaths that are sure to come about from that violence, arson, and desperate actions made by starving people. The EMP Commission, contracted by Congress to study this very event and make recommendations, came to the conclusion that in the first full year after a Carrington-sized CME with our horrendously outdated transformers and power line infrastructure, 90% of the population would be wiped out. We won't be worried about our internet. We'll be too busy struggling to simply stay alive. (Edited for fat-fingered spelling.)

Excellent video Ben. Thanks for this. Perhaps you or your followers can answer my query to do with the billions of tonnes of charged particles (protons) that impact the planet during a coronal mass ejection. Travelling at around 0.7 times the speed of light and perhaps impacting the Earth over a 12 hour period, what effect might this have beyond aurorae, radiation impacts and the damaging effects of induced current. The Earth is like a large magnet with a negative north pole and positive south pole. Surely the bombardment of positive protons ought to have some sort of effect, such as in repelling the north pole and attracting the south pole thus causing the earth to tilt or wobble. This effect can perhaps be simulated by adding circular magnets to the axis of a gyroscope and spinning it up. Bring an external magnet close to the toy and it readily deflects. Granted the scales are very different but surely Newton's third law - for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, should apply? Could a monster CME event induce an planetary axial tilt?
