Thomas Gold came up with the initial hypothesis in the 60s after studying the possibility of coronal mass ejections. He found that when they were large enough they would cause lightning over large swaths of land.

Just 'recently' in 1859 there was one that destroyed electrical transformers and equipment all over the world.

The one that Thomas Gold theorized would be many orders of magnitude larger (like a once in a hundred year storm, except it's a once in a like 100000 year solar storm).

These two contain a good amount of information on coronal mass ejections, but for some reason Thomas Gold's Wikipedia page says nothing about his research.

If helping means using violence, one should not help. When you become violent, even if it is to help an innocent person, you are on the same level as the first offender. There is only one kind of violence, blind like a bat, it knows not friend from foe. A punch is a punch. If you say: a punch is not a punch - you are mad, you think too much, if you keep thinking, one day you'll say: rape is like a kiss on a baby's cheek. The problems start when you say: sometimes, violence is okay. Already the world becomes a dark place, where the brightest colour is muddy gray. My aura will be like pure white, once I begin what I dream about every night. I cannot change the world, it is hell - but I have some control over myself. I am not evil if I don't do violence ever: the violent person is evil. Don't look at me angrily, I am the people's friend. There has to be someone who will never do violence, who will always accept you, beacuse the world is a bad place once you want thing to be a certain way.

i like this one a lot for some reason
