Hey HN, potentially silly thought exercise here. Humor me, please. Considering this: https://ift.tt/2MM4axN Is it crazy to think a massive but not life-threatening solar flare could corrupt the blockchain? I mean, we all know a solar flare could potentially disrupt electrical grids themselves that could still be repaired, but could it flip enough copies of blockchain to render the network useless?
