:huh: it's a very real possibility that the sun could produce a solar flare strong enough to wipe out satellites and if the sun does produce a large enough (CME) Coronal mass ejection, could wipe out all electronics here on earth just saying.
And you're basing that on your gut feeling, right? Source it or don't bother bringing trash into this forum.

chances are actually pretty good for a solar event at least knocking out our satellites in our lifetime.
chances that it would be armageddon... not very likely unless people simply cant live without satellites in the sky
Same to you. Do you have any reason to believe what you just typed, or do you simply think it's a possibility, so that means the odds are good? Remember, we got hit by a fairly massive CME not too long ago. I think it was January or March? And there was so little permanent damage (if any) that it wasn't even news-worthy.
