This is CBSI on the world. Behind the Black Bob Zimmerman is here. I'm John Batcher. Sunspots, Bob. We worry about them sometimes. How are we doing on the maximum?

Yes. So, you know, every month I post and provide contacts to know his monthly update of the solar cycle, the

number of sunspot activity that's going on.

We've ramped up to solar maximum.

We're in solar maximum right now, and the real question is whether we're heading down

to solar minimum or whether or not the solar maximum is going to continue for months

on end.

Noah's scientists last month predicted that we're now on the ramp down to minimum.

And I pointed out that we really haven't the faintest idea.

And I point this out again, the activity in the last month went up a little bit.

It didn't go up enough to really change the trend significantly.

So it once again leaves us with a complete unknown.

We could be ramping down to minimum.

We could also see a double peak maximum as of a previous maximum was.

We don't know.

The scientists are saying, no, it's going to ramp down.

They could be right.

They know more than me.

But I also haven't, as I note know whenever i do this update um all their

predictions for the last uh two uh solo cycles have been wrong and wrong badly and they keep changing

their predictions as things uh play out to make it look like they got it right but they didn't get it

right and they haven't been getting it right it's because they really don't understand the fundamental processes that produce this cycle.
