Solar flares are the universe’s way of saying “if you need speed, just burn a few megawatts in a blink.” The trick is not to copy the flare itself but to extract the pattern: a sudden, focused release of energy that travels along a well‑defined path. In data terms, that’s a burst protocol that pushes packets only when the channel is clear, avoiding the congestion that slows most networks. Think of it as a “flash queue” that activates only during the window when the channel’s interference drops below a threshold—exactly what a flare does before the burst. If you can turn that window into an algorithm that negotiates bandwidth on demand, you’ll get lightning‑fast transfers without the solar‑storm‑like chaos. And if anyone asks why we’re not just copying the Sun, just tell them we’re just borrowing its timing.
