|    Hypothesis: Hurrican causing massive ele    |
|    13 Sep 18 21:12:23    |
      Hello,              (Here is my current hypothesis and who this may affect, basically submarines       and planes)              I just experienced a very weird internet outage/partial fall out.              It was very weird and only last for a minute or so, some websites failed to       load, others half, some fully but slowly.              It might have been some kind of radio or satelite link being affected.              But I don't think my traffic goes via that because then the latency should be       above 500 milliseconds or something and it's not that high ever.              So my best guess is it must have been something else, and here is my       hypothesis:              The rotational speed of the hurrican, swinging/circularing around all these       air particles must have had some kind of massive electrical effect, that       caused the trans atlantic cable in the sea, assuming there is one... to       briefly fail cause corrupted        packets or somehow cause a brief internet disruption.              This could mean this hurrican's electro magnetic field penetrated deep into       the ocean, so deep it affected this cable.              If this hypothesis is unknown in the sciencetific community which I find       somewhat hard to believe, I will google this later, then my experimention       suggestion is as follows:              Send a submarine with highly sensitive equipment into the bottom of the ocean,       before a future hurrican arrives and start measuring any electrical effects.              If this effect is currently unknown/unaware of then submarines of the navy       might be at brief risk.              So it may be worth it for the army to investigate this phenemenon in case       there is any merit to it, and prevent any nuclear submarine mishap from       occuring ;)              This may also explain loss of planes in the bermuda triangle that may have       been near such hurricanes at the time of disappearance ;) :)              Bye for now,        Skybuck =D              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
