War, Brains and Thunderbolts
Peter, a very fine and informative paper! I do believe that the following sentence was overlooked during editing.
"It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong."
"Doubt is not an agreeable condition, but certainty is an absurd one."
"Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities." Voltaire

Well, Spörer minimum and Mauder minimum do mark quite some history.
John A. Eddy (Jack Eddy) thought that sun is a variable star.
I am not sure if the data on the picture is correct. Still, those two minimum mark huge changes. DaVinci, Shakespeare, Salem witch trials, Galileo, fall of the native american culture south and north. The story of the Sengoku period basically describes the global situation back then.
There was the little ice age causing famine and there have been quite a few cases of black death.

Personally i think its not influencing all people in the same way...J. Eddy wrote: It was one more defeat in our long and losing battle to keep the Sun perfect, or, if not perfect, constant, and if inconstant, regular. Why we think the Sun should be any of these when other stars are not is more a question for social than for physical science.
