The latest scare-mongering going around, is how a solar flare or EMP could wipe-out the electrical grids of the world, and fry all our electronics leaving us back in the dark-ages.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kJ_SofFm0g is the latest "Scare you to death" type video.
Just how much truth is there in this stuff?
I find it hard to believe myself with my own knowledge of electronics, BUT - I might simply be uneducated in terms of solar flares and EMP's and there might be a genuine threat in that circumstance, so can any of the members here in the know, state if there is any validity to these videos trying to frighten people about yet another doomsday event.
....or is it just the latest end-of-the-world claim like the Y2K bug and the Mayan calendar saying we were all doomed in 2012....
A new one of these end-of-days theories pops up every few years and they usually are proven to have no substance. Is this yet another one of those?
