Speedy Summary
- Whale strandings, notably mass instances, have been recorded for millions of years, but their causes remain debated. Historical thinkers like Aristotle noted the phenomenon without clear explanations.
- Modern theories suggest anthropogenic factors like naval sonar, pollution, fishing gear entanglement alongside naturally occurring solar storms may confuse some whales’ navigation systems.
- Research by Jesse Granger from Duke University linked high solar activity to a fourfold likelihood of whale strandings on impacted days using 31 years of data on gray whale migrations and geomagnetic disruptions.
- Physicist Klaus Vanselow studied sperm whales over 291 years and found nine out of ten stranding events correlated with heightened solar activity cycles at higher latitudes close to magnetic disturbances near polar regions.
Solar storms send geomagnetic disturbances plus radio interfering waves which could break or scramble unknown navigation sense further[ blurred]
