If you’ve ever stuck a dvd in the microwave, you’ll know this is a non-starter. Flux of the magnitude we’re talking about would cause arcing within the substrate, destroying it.
Back up to paper.
- pjc50 8y ago> Flux of the magnitude we’re talking about How high exactly? At the surface of the earth? I mean, if it's microwave level energy, that would imply it was harmful to humans? (Conversely, the non-harmfulness of the Carrington Event to life should be good evidence against the people worried about phone masts...)
- lenticular 8y agoThat's not true. Only long conductors are affected significantly by these events.
