For those doomers out there like me, there's something relatively new to look forward to -
step aside super volcano, pole shift, even meteor - we have Miyake events now!
100 times (at least) more powerful than the Carrington Event...
"It's really important that we resolve this question because the Carrington Event was 100 times smaller in terms of radiation output than these Miyake events," Dr Pope said.
"If we had an event like that, even on the short scale … we'd be thrown into chaos."
