Invisible Forces of Transformation

At the What if...? World History conference in Vigo, Spain, on March 26, 2025, two most relevant presentations at roundtable number two shared analysis that seem totally different but might be linked. While the first one considered the hypothesis that solar storms contributed to the 2013 social disorder in Brazil, the second examined the influence on public administration of the preponderance of women in strategic positions in the Brazilian Executive Branch. As a result, both studies considered the idea that invisible forces could influence both humans as individuals and collective groups, concluding the existence of a cause-effect relationship between solar and social energies. This paper reflects, based on these presentations, how complex systems as astrophysics, neuroscience, sociology, and gender studies, are sensitive to energetic and relational differences.

Abstract

At the What if...? World History conference in Vigo, Spain, on March 26, 2025, two most relevant presentations at roundtable number two shared analysis that seem totally different but might be linked. While the first one considered the hypothesis that solar storms contributed to the 2013 social disorder in Brazil, the second examined the influence on public administration of the preponderance of women in strategic positions in the Brazilian Executive Branch. As a result, both studies considered the idea that invisible forces could influence both humans as individuals and collective groups, concluding the existence of a cause-effect relationship between solar and social energies. This paper reflects, based on these presentations, how complex systems as astrophysics, neuroscience, sociology, and gender studies, are sensitive to energetic and relational differences.
