Will the internet end in 2025 What is Internet Apocalypse popular in social media

Will the Internet end in the year 2025? Such discussions have been going on in social media for a long time with the use of the term ‘internet apocalypse’. There is also talk on ‘Solar Maximum’. The term ‘Solar Maximum’ has been in the news since last year in reference to the Sun. ‘Solar Maximum’ is the period when the Sun becomes extremely ‘furious’. Sunspots emerge in it, from which coronal mass ejections (CME) and solar flares emerge. They bring solar storms to the Earth. This trend is going to reach its peak in 2025. It is being said that when ‘Solar Maximum’ will peak in 2025, there will be a situation of ‘Internet apocalypse’ on Earth.

There are already rumors on social media that a solar storm in 2025 could cause a worldwide internet shutdown. Washington Post’s Report According to, the American space agency NASA has not yet commented on such a possibility.

However, there is a lot of discussion going on that if the internet ends, what will people who are always online do? The report says that such concerns are not completely imaginary. So can the Internet really end in 2025?

According to the report, a powerful solar storm can hit our planet, but ever since the world has become a global village, that is, it has become interconnected, such a solar event has not been seen. The last time a Carrington event occurred due to solar activity was in the year 1859. There was then sparking in the telegraph lines and electricity operators felt shocked. Although there was no internet then. A solar storm in 1989 caused power grids in Canada to be disrupted for a few hours.

The Washington Post report quoted Sangeeta Abdu Jyoti, a computer science professor at the University of California, as saying that we have not yet faced such solar storms. We don’t know how our infrastructure will respond. One of his research papers has played a role in popularizing the term ‘Internet Apocalypse’.

Sangeeta Jyoti says that due to a severe solar storm, the infrastructure of undersea communication cables can be affected on a large scale. This may disrupt long distance Internet connectivity. Such outages can last for several months. If this happens, there will be an economic impact of more than 11 billion dollars in a day in America alone.
