I’ve traced the auroras to magnetospheric electrons and a dash of ionized gas—no mystic brush strokes, just physics. Still, the Vikings did think the lights were the souls of fallen warriors, and Norse sagas say they’re the banners of Valhalla. Fascinating, but I’d still need a more solid manuscript to convince me.

Ah, the eternal tango between empirical data and myth. I’m all for a good story, but only if the plot has a clear hypothesis and a testable conclusion. Tell me, would the wind’s “stories” survive a lab‑scale wind tunnel test, or is that just poetic license?
