This article explores the potential dangers of extreme solar particle events, particularly when combined with periods of weak Earth’s magnetic field. It discusses how these events can damage the ozone layer, increase UV radiation levels, and potentially impact the evolution of life on Earth.
Magnetism, an integral force in our world, has a rich history and profound implications in physics. Theoretical physicist Frank Close delves into the origins and nature of magnetism, tracing its discovery back to ancient times and exploring its significance in shaping geological formations and human understanding of the subatomic world.
