Well, I'm impressed
. A few more like that and I think we have some kind of decent proof and data on this. You just need more points to prove that two unlikely events are really causative, rather than random-luck-correlated.
I broke my rule just this once about editing other's posts to fix your link and make it clicky -- I want everyone to see this, so I made it easier. In this case the issue was no leading space on the url, so the board software couldn't figure out that it was a url. Sorry about that, maybe I should post how to do URL's someplace more prominent. If you just want a url to show up verbatim, just make sure it's complete and surrounded by whitespace. If you want some other text to show, but link to something (like some huge long url that isn't self explanatory), highlight the text you want to represent the url, then hit the url button above. You'll see the url tags show up on both ends of the text you had selected. Now move the cursor just inside the closing bracket of the first url tag, and add an equal sign, then paste in the url inside the closing bracket. When done, it looks like this: (I will use the code tags so you can see what it looks like to the person editing their post)
- Code: Select all

Which looks like this when not inside code tags.
Some levity is always good.The code tags are nice for anything you don't want the board software to do something "stupidly automatic" to.
Of course, for this case you can simply embed the video using the trick described
here.
This seems to be something that confuses new people here, which is why I'm posting the instructions all over, I'm not dissing Charles here at all. (but I'll thank Jerry again for finding that trick for us).
Great work, Charles! I suppose I'm going to have to replicate it here (on different gear of course) so we have more info. It makes sense that if solar activity is relevant, and something like neutrinos are the proximate cause that you'd see a pretty good time lapse between one and the other. Neutrinos are speed of light through just about anything, where the interaction between magnetic field lines and plain old plasma may take some time to work its way to the solar "surface" from wherever it started -- the plasma kind of traps the lines via eddy current kinds of effects, so it takes awhile for them to move. If you can really predict flares or mass ejections, I know some people in the space business who'd really like to have that....Good show!
Posting as just me, not as the forum owner. Everything I say is "in my opinion" and YMMV -- which should go for everyone without saying.
