Cannibal solar storms are heading toward Earth

The video discusses the upcoming solar cycle maximum in 2025 and its potential impact on Earth, particularly through coronal mass ejections (CMEs). These CMEs can cause geomagnetic storms, affecting Internet connectivity and other infrastructures. The video highlights the challenges in predicting CME effects and the risks of a 'cannibal solar storm' leading to an Internet apocalypse, as well as vulnerabilities in oil, gas, and power grids.
