12 In the late-night brawl, why did the World Super League lose miserably one after another?
It's been half an hour since he clocked in, but why is Tony's desk still empty?

After 38.5 days, why is the guy next door’s neck twisted to the right for no reason?
Behind all this, is it the distortion of human nature or an excuse for not going to work?
Please pay attention to X PIN.TV's annual masterpiece “The Legend of the Geomagnetic Storm” at 23:59 tonight.
No kidding, when I woke up today, I suddenly found that 3 of the top 5 hot searches were talking about geomagnetic storms.

When I clicked on the topic # Geomagnetic Storm Sleepiness #, all the comments were “No wonder I couldn't wake up in the morning”, “No wonder I slept all day”, “It turned out to be a geomagnetic storm, I thought it was from work”.
According to word-of-mouth reports from netizens, they suffered from insomnia at night, daytime drowsiness, dizziness and headache, vomiting and diarrhea during the past two days.
He even wet the bed because of the geomagnetic storm.
Many family groups and netizens have already begun physical violence.
Look at it this way, I've been slow in writing these days, maybe it's because of…
In line with the principle of seeking truth from facts when making excuses, I immediately went to check some information, but found that things were not as simple as I thought.
First of all, everyone may have misinterpreted the name of this “scapegoat”.
It looks like “geomagnetic storm”, but in fact it should be read as “geomagnetic storm”. According to the power, it also has several brothers, “small geomagnetic storm”, “medium geomagnetic storm” and “extreme geomagnetic storm” and so on.
In addition, please forgive me, it is not my intention to expose your “lies”, because the fact is:So far, there is no direct evidence that magnetic storms will affect human health.
Of course, some scholars hold different views and believe that geomagnetic activity will have an impact on the cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, mental and other aspects of the human body.
But there is still no solid evidence at present. They are at most a conclusion of correlation, and correlation does not mean causation.At once
For example, we publish articles in the middle of the night every day. Posting is related to the darkness of the day, but we cannot draw the outrageous conclusion that “it is because of bad reviews that the genius will become dark.”
In fact, many netizens themselves understand this: Don't tell me that there is no research, do you want me to admit that I kneel down because of food? I'm late because I'm lazy?
The good news is that this pot can actually be protected against geomagnetic storms, because although geomagnetic storms will not harm the human body, they may still cause other effects.
For example, it damaged the power grid and caused everyone to be disconnected from the game, causing me to kneel down. It affected the signal and caused me to be unable to reply to customers in time. It interfered with GPS navigation and caused me to be late for work, etc.
To use these high-level excuses, we must first understand what a geomagnetic storm is.
As we all know, the sun is a big furnace. It is not stable when it shines and heats up. It will sneeze every now and then and spit out some “spit” from the outermost corona layer. This process is called a coronal mass ejection.
A normal-sized prominence compared to the Earth
The ejected material flies into space at a very fast speed, forming the solar wind.
Although this solar wind is called wind, it is actually high-speed plasma entering the earth, mixed with some ionizing radiation.
without any exaggeration,If a wave of solar wind hits the naked body, almost all living things on the earth will be wiped out.
But fortunately, our earth has its own magical geomagnetic field, which saves the 925 tons of envious saliva from the Venusians next door.
The geomagnetic field is like a funnel-shaped magic barrier, with the two sharp points exactly at the North and South Pole.
When the solar wind rushes towards the earth, a burst of geomagnetic field transfers the charged particles in the solar wind to the north and south poles. The upper atmosphere at the two poles will emit light after being bombarded by the solar wind, forming auroras.
For billions of years, the geomagnetic field has protected everyone from being sprayed to death by the sun.
But if the sun exerts a little force, the sneeze energy will be too great, and the geomagnetic field will be a little weak.
The intensity and direction of the earth's magnetic field are shaken for a while, which becomes a geomagnetic storm.
Therefore, magnetic storms are actually caused by the garbled magnetic field of the earth. When the magnetic field is disordered, the ionosphere will be disturbed accordingly.
In this way, the radio signal will be confused. The originally calculated propagation path and intensity will be changed into unexpected situations.
Satellite operations and GPS positioning may also be affected.
No,Two years ago, Musk launched 49 satellites into the sky, but 40 of them were directly hit by the sun for a big second.
Moreover, magnetic field disturbances can also cause induced currents in the power system, which can paralyze the power grid if not careful.
In 1989, the Quebec supergeomagnetic storm, known as “the most destructive in history”, directly knocked out Quebec's power system. It took 9 hours to restore power to most areas.
After that, Canada and several affected countries have increased the protection of their power systems, such as installing special equipment on the power grid to suppress GIC (geomagnetic induced current) and prevent transformers from being blown up.
Anyway, everyone doesn’t need to be too nervous.Geomagnetic storms of the magnitude in Quebec are rare.
It has already entered the “Super Cup” intensity level. In comparison, this geomagnetic storm is at most a “medium” or “large” level, which is still two levels away from Goat.
Moreover, through continuous research by scholars, it has been discovered that the occurrence of geomagnetic storms is traceable.
Because geomagnetic storms are mainly controlled by the intensity of the solar wind, and the solar activity cycle is about 11 years. Starting from 2019, we have just entered a new period of intense solar activity, so there will be more and more geomagnetic storms in the past few years.
According to predictions from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and other agencies, the sun will inevitably sneeze before October this year.
However, with today's technical means, it is not difficult to predict the specific time and level of geomagnetic storms some time in advance.
The solar flare detected during this geomagnetic storm
As early as 2021, China built a Xihe satellite to guard against the sudden appearance of the sun on a whim.
Once there are signs that the sun is going to cause trouble, early warning information will be sent to our mobile phones immediately.
Moreover, according to observations, small geomagnetic storms generally last for nearly 2 months per year on average, and sometimes they occur for more than half a year.
Does this mean that for 2-6 months every year, we can reasonably blame the geomagnetic storm for causing me to kneel down, blaming the geomagnetic force for causing me to fail to respond to customers in time, and blaming the geomagnetic force for causing me to be late.
So if you are really worried about the harm that geomagnetic storms will cause to your body, then I can only say:
Yes, just like anyone who drinks water will die, so will all humans who experience geomagnetic storms.
