Apparently, the last sun "event" scared the heck out of a lot of scientists -- because of the sheer complexity of what happened at once, which was unprecedented.
Our civilization is very fragile -- we should all keep that in mind. This world could easily be taken from us, even if we are too weak to detach ourselves from it. But if it's taken FROM us, we will likely not be well disposed -- we won't spiritually profit from it.
