Reply to comment by qichael in The Earth is subjected to a hail of subatomic particles from the Sun and beyond our solar system which could be the cause of glitches that afflict our phones and computers. And the risk is growing as microchip technology shrinks. by Sariel007

i listened to an hour long podcast about this. it literally caused an election result error.

the winners votes were more than the total voters iirc

they showed an experiment where particles could be seen under the right conditions.

it was figured out and the results fixed. but it happened.

edit: 1 hour, not few hour. found the pod episode
