Examines gravitational waves' influence on climate anomalies during the Little Ice Age, suggesting a link to solar activity.
This paper examines the possible influence of gravitational waves generated by a magnetic monopole ejected during the SN 1054 supernova on climate anomalies throughout the Little Ice Age (c. 1300–1850 AD). Using relativistic delay equations, the paper estimates arrival times and energies of gravitational waves emitted centuries after the explosion and compares these predictions with paleoclimate evidence documenting major climate events, including the Great Drought, early Little Ice Age cooling, multidecadal cold phases, monsoon weakening, and volcanic‑driven climate disruptions. The paper also analyzes long‑period solar magnetic activity cycles (Oort, Wolf, Spörer, Maunder, Dalton minima) and shows that their timing aligns closely with gravitational‑wave arrival windows. Because gravitational‑wave frequencies during the Little Ice Age fall within the terahertz range — a band associated with solar flares and sunspot activity — the paper explores a possible relationship between monopole‑generated gravitational waves and solar magnetic behavior. These observations suggest that gravitational waves from the SN 1054 monopole may have contributed to climate variability throughout the Little Ice Age and may have interacted with solar magnetic processes in ways not yet fully understood.
