Actually, the "charged particles" that Fox (?) tried to talk about were low speed charged particules. However, it's not certain about its quantity. Otherwise, every minute every second, our sun is emitting a lot of high speed charged particles in solar wind. We call this *relativistic* (charged) particles because their speed is near to c, thus we have to apply relativity to them when we want to deal with them.Anyhow, it does turn out we have a case of mismatched terminology here, the *charged particles* in the solar wind can take days to reach the Earth, whereas, of course, the actual EM radiation only takes minutes.
It is the storm of charged particles which wreaks havoc with telecom and electrical systems here on the rock, the EM I'm not sure about, gotta do more reading on that.
Sheesh, what next? Can we get an explanation of this phenomenon based on Heisenberg's principle of uncertainty. After all, when dealing with charged particles, you wouldn't want to omit any kind of explanation based on quantum mechanics, would you? And, while we our at it, how about the simple application of Planck's constant? It is a thorough understanding we seek, yes?
Hey LX, did you have any notion that your *simple* heads up on a condition that could affect wireless communications would go so far? You should have known, you have been here a long time, my friend. Well, I am locked and loaded so let those particles come....
