This video is actually over a year old but I had somehow missed the study this video is about;
YouTube
So, basically what causes the 11 year long solar cycles is the tidal effects from Jupiter Earth and Venus being all aligned in their orbits around the sun, which happens about once every 11 years.
But I find it strange then that this explanation isn't explained in the wiki page for solar cycles (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cycle ) which begs the question to me, why not!? This discovery was made over a year ago and I assume it has gone through peer review so why hasn't wiki been updated accordingly? Has something since been found to be wrong about the study that gave that conclusion? -that would seem to me pretty unlikely as their explanation seems pretty good and even if their theory hasn't been proven beyond doubt I would still find it very strange nobody bothered to edit at least a mere brief mention of it in that wiki page!
