2: Our world may be a giant hologram
It may sound absurd, but there is plenty of theoretical physics that strongly suggests the entire universe is an enormous cosmic hologram, man.

1: Space storm alert: 90 seconds from catastrophe
Normal storms are bad enough, but a solar storm could be really disastrous.

Bad news. Happy reading!
