Very interesting. I always wondered

I was watching a video on that paper just last night, I have to confess my woo-woo meter was pinging, but looks like a serious paper (I kept expecting someone to deny global warming or mention the ology)

Any solar researchers on here? Wouldn’t mind know if this is the current state of thinking...

I believe there has been  some somewhat speculative work done in this area in the past. This is the particular paper in question (I wish these on line articles would include the reference)

Another article on the topic references two studies regarding predictions to when a solar cycle will end and another will begin. The article mentions the visual indicators, but it doesn't specifically provide the cause of the increase in the magnetic activity. It may be referenced in the actual studies. My logic tells me that it's possibly due to the study referenced in previous comments here.
