Summary:
The solar activity over the last 10'000 years, as reconstructed from cosmogenic radionuclides stored in terrestrial archives, shows a couple of very stable albeit intermittent periodicities. Recently, the same periodicities have been discovered in the torque exerted by the planets on the sun's tachocline. While the mechanism through which the planets couple to the sun's magnetic field is still unknown, this synchronization phenomenon deserves renewed attention from the nonlinear dynamics community.
