I have no idea how these things work, but I live in hope that this huge solar flare will knock out all wireless communications, all over this tiny wee lumpy rock, for weeks and weeks, and there's nothing embdy can do about it..... www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-12485104"...The unpredictable activity on the Sun can interfere with modern technology on Earth, such as electrical power grids, communications systems and satellites - including the satellite navigation (or sat-nav) signals used on Earth." See yese after the jump folks!
