Summary

Solar Flares Impact explores the science and potential consequences of solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) on our planet and its technology. This book sheds light on how events 93 million miles away can disrupt satellite communication, power grids, and even aviation. It highlights that our increasing reliance on technology makes us more vulnerable to space weather events, emphasizing the need to understand and mitigate these risks, as a powerful solar flare could potentially cause widespread blackouts or cripple essential space-based infrastructure.

 
The book begins by explaining the basic physics behind solar flares, including the roles of sunspots and magnetic fields. It then examines the impacts of these flares on various technologies and sectors, such as telecommunications engineering and space exploration. Finally, it discusses current and future mitigation strategies, like space weather forecasting and hardening satellites, to protect against these solar storms.

 
By combining rigorous scientific analysis with practical considerations, Solar Flares Impact provides a balanced view suitable for policymakers, engineers, and the general public. It connects insights from diverse fields, including atmospheric science and risk management, to offer a holistic understanding of the challenges and potential solutions, emphasizing the importance of international collaboration in addressing this global challenge.

"You Are Not Expected to...

Torie Bosch, Ellen Ullman

In this audiobook, Mack Sanderson and Emily Schwing reveal the stories behind the computer coding that touches all aspects of life—for better or worse

Few of us give much thought to computer code or how it comes to be. The very word "code" makes it sound immutable or even inevitable. "You Are Not Expected to Understand This" demonstrates that, far from being preordained, computer code is the result of very human decisions, ones we all live with when we use social media, take photos, drive our cars, and engage in a host of other activities.

Everything from law enforcement to space exploration relies on code written by people who, at the time, made choices and assumptions that would have long-lasting, profound implications for society. Torie Bosch brings together many of today's leading technology experts to provide new perspectives on the code that shapes our lives. Contributors discuss a host of topics, such as how university databases were programmed long ago to accept only two genders, what the person who programmed the very first pop-up ad was thinking at the time, the first computer worm, the Bitcoin white paper, and perhaps the most famous seven words in Unix history: "You are not expected to understand this."

This compelling book tells the human stories behind programming, enabling those of us who don't think much about code to recognize its importance, and those who work with it every day to better understand the long-term effects of the decisions they make.

Planet X Hypothesis The: The...

Editors Charles River

Naturally, as technological advances and the creation of flying aircraft became realities, the sighting of UFOs increased, as did the interest in potential contact with aliens. While incidents like the one at Roswell led to conspiracies and a craze among those who insisted the government was hiding proof of extraterrestrials’ existence, governments across the world were actually secretly studying UFO sightings by the mid-20th century.
Given all of that, it was hardly groundbreaking for scientists in the 19th century to have plenty of heated debates about their imperfect knowledge of astronomy. One particular argument was over whether there was a hidden planet beyond Neptune, dubbed by the theory’s original proponent, Percival Lowell, as Planet X. When Pluto was discovered in 1930, at the start of the Great Depression, scientists originally thought this new world, in the extreme cold at the outer edge of the Solar System, would solve a decades-old mystery regarding the orbit of Uranus, the seventh planet from the Sun. But soon, scientists realized that Pluto, at one point considered the 9th planet, was too small to explain the discrepancies found. Thus, some researchers began looking for the next planet, or Planet X.
Throughout our modern culture, “X” has remained the proverbial symbol of mystery. On the maps of buried pirate treasure, “X” is supposed to mark the spot where treasure seekers are to dig. In public schools, teenagers learn the utility of “X” as a variable in algebraic equations or as an axis in the Cartesian coordinate system. And “X” is also a Roman numeral symbolizing the quantity of 10, the highest value which can be counted on the fingers, and the next value beyond “9,” the largest single digit. The search for “Planet X,” then, is a quest rich with symbolism and mystery, rooted in history, astronomy, and astrology.
