This brief review advertises a breakthrough in solar dynamics: the identification of chromospheric Ca II K2V “grains” as manifestations of acoustic shocks. The successful numerical reproduction of the intricate spectral characteristics of K2V grain formation by Carlsson & Stein shows that the non-magnetic solar chromosphere is pervaded by outward traveling shocks to such extent that static modeling is no longer acceptable. Dynamical modeling should soon reconcile the long-standing Ca II/CO dichotomy. The chromospheric dynamics of the magnetized regions remains enigmatic.
