very nice...i think it's more of a case of them just discovering it than it just opening up recently though.
i think it's something to monitor over the course of the solar cycle to see if it changes between solar max and solar min...i think we're just past solar minimum (it's an 11 year cycle and the last max was 3 years ago) if i remember correctly.
Oh yeah, i forgot, with Solar storms. We're also looking at the possibility of an electromagnetic pulse that could systematically scramble and shut down all electronic devices. They also influence, weather and volcanic activity...,lol.
but, the aliens were also supposed to have made first contact back on oct 14th, so..
