No no. Coronal mass ejections are a real thing and the sun was just recently waking up from a more dormant state. It’s possible. Completely. And it’ll fry our systems. Definitely.
Edit: with one big enough and direct hit

That's scary, but true. It's probably just a matter of time before we get hit hard enough that we feel the effects. I think it's likely to happen in the next decade or so.

Probably not a total blackout like we sometimes see or hear about in the movies. But something smaller that could take down the internet and cellphones in some countries, or a continent for a few days, perhaps a week.

I mean i didn't say solar flashes weren't real, but the controllers can use it as an excuse to take further control on the "internet of things"
