Carrington-level solar storms aren’t rare. The next one hits a digital civilization.
We talk about nuclear weapons, cyberwar, and geopolitics, but one of the largest threats to modern civilization is older than all of them. The sun.
A Carrington-level solar storm today would not just create auroras. It would hit satellites, GPS, transformers, and communication infrastructure all at once. The systems that quietly coordinate modern life depend on delicate electronics stretched across the planet.
The real risk is not panic. It is silence. No signals. No coordination. No digital memory of where anything is supposed to go.
We built a civilization that assumes the sky stays calm.
