New data we have been examining shows pole reversals every 12/15K years. Seems to happen twice every complete procession of the equanox...a 26K year cycle. This will play out in our life time and it is not neat nor pretty
Incorrect. During the period of the shift, the Earth's magnetic field collapses then reverses. Results are: 1) magnetic compasses are rendered useless. 2) The Van Allen belts collapse. This results in an increase of radiation from the Sun (Alpha & Beta) impinging on the atmosphere. This will strip away some or all of the ozone layer which absorbs X-rays and Ultraviolet light. The incidence of cancer and genetic damage will increase for all organisms. Humans will adapt by wearing clothing that covers more: Hats, long sleeves and sunglasses, which is what they did in Chile a few years back when the ozone hole became prominent. Sunbathing and other daytime exposure, especially near the Equator, will (hopefully) become unpopular due to the increased risk of cancer and sunburn. Ham Radio and other shortwave communications will be altered (for better or worse) due to changes in the ionosphere. Unless these changes affect cloud formation there should be little change in the temperature or climate. The earth's rotation and axis orientation will be totally unaffected.
I would have to ask why you can rule out a change in rotation, considering there is a lot of histroical myths of the sun rising in the west and setting in the east, during the time of storms. The magnetic field is generated by the interaction of the metallic core with the sun and the rotation of the earth, like a motor, so what would precipitate a collapse but the slowing or stopping of the rotation? I am sure there are other hypothesis about it, so I am interested if you have a model that explains it.
Good science fiction novel, but nothing like the movement of the magnetic pools. in the novel the whole Earth would tip 90 degrees due to mass shift on the surface. Not possible. It would take a wondering planet size body coming near in a certain way or one hitting the Earth at a certain angle.
Much of the quasi-science on this forum could be better used in science fiction novels. some of the stuff claimed to be hypotheses, do not even have any rational data, but rather speculations about neurologically
Sorry my old finger hit a wrong key. Should be continued as: obtained approximate averages with out any way of testing the speculations with objective reality. The attempts to reify pseudo concepts then end in a lot of metaphor in place of actual scientific knowledge.
I would suggest that you might want to go look at the suspicious observers videos the olduglycarl linked to. They have some compelling data and facts that support the possibility of a micro-nova every 12000 years doing just what was in the book. In addition, I would point out that several prominent scientists had good data on a comet or asteroid inpact 12000 years ago (which could also be shell matter from a micro-nova) and they recently documented the large crater in Greenland dating from such a period.Yet mainstream scientists seem committed to whatever their patrons who pay their stipends want them to say, and sacrificing truth along the way. A lot like Ayn Rand's State Science people did.
Did you read The HAB Theory Nick? It was about how scientist would not accept the fact of pole shifting. It mixed a science and facts with fiction. It was pretty good.
Add to this some discrepancies in data and the Ukrainian Science Academy is claiming the magnetic pole is almost on land in Siberia, while NASA is still near geographic North.
