From the day's Comms chatter

What's going around

Scientists predicted the world ends on Friday, Nov. 13, 2026, and the Sun could release an unusually powerful burst that day.

Spreading on Social media; revived in news and blog posts Nov 9-10

What the record says

Origin A 1960 Science paper projected population growth; it did not predict a disaster.
Sun NOAA's Nov 11 forecast: no geomagnetic storm expected through Nov 13.
Flares NOAA puts a strong flare radio blackout at 15% a day; that hits HF radio, not power.

Bottom lineNo. Old math, calm forecast.
