Скачать или смотреть WHAT IF - When GPS Failed for 24 Hours, Everything Else Followed

In less than one minute, the world loses its sense of direction.

Fourteen thousand aircraft lose their invisible rails in the sky.
Ships drift without certainty at sea.
Autonomous cars freeze mid-intersection.
Financial markets stumble as clocks fall out of sync.

No hackers.
No cyberattack.
No explosions.

Just the Sun — reaching a little too far.

This episode of Glitch explores a terrifying scenario: a severe geomagnetic storm that knocks out GPS worldwide for twenty-four hours. What begins as minor signal noise quickly escalates into global disorientation, as aviation, shipping, cities, markets, and emergency services discover how deeply they rely on a single invisible system in the sky.

You’ll see how GPS is more than navigation — it’s timing, synchronization, trust.
How radio waves bending in the ionosphere can unravel air traffic control, autonomous vehicles, logistics chains, and high-frequency trading.
Why modern infrastructure didn’t “fail” — it simply did exactly what it was designed to do, until its assumptions collapsed.

This isn’t a doomsday fantasy.
Storms like this have happened before.
And physics allows for far worse.

What made this event survivable wasn’t resilience — it was luck.
Luck that the storm was short.
Luck that backups held.
Luck that the invisible clock in the sky came back before systems fully unraveled.

Because the real question isn’t if GPS will fail again.

It’s whether we’ll be ready when it does.

Welcome to Glitch — where invisible systems fail quietly, and the consequences move the world.
