I’m tired of all these man-made disasters. Can’t we endure some kind of catastrophe that isn’t of our own creation? Nothing brings human beings together like some good old nature’s wrath. Fortunately, the sun has been preparing for such an event for eleven years now, and is about to unleash hell on all of our iPhones and Twitter account-carrying servers.
By the way, I recognized the on-screen lecturer as Richard Muller, professor of physics at University of California, Berkley. I actually took his class “Physics for Future Presidents” via a free podcast available on the intrawebs. I highly recommend you check it out, if you’re a science buff.
