zmurko 7,622 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 If it is to be believed, apparently this happened few days ago: https://www.superstation95.com/index.php/world/1214 Quote S U N D A Y R A C I N G L E A G U E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skorpion 2,499 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Definitely an interesting read. I watched a doco a few years ago about the changing of the N and S poles. Hopefully its not starting yet Quote THE SKORPION PITMy Created Content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djw180 6,846 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) Interesting, but I can't find anything about this on leading science journals websites. That's not to say it isn't true but possibly someone in the press has misunderstood and is more alarmed than they need to be (I have personal experience of that happening with some research I did). I'll keep an eye out and see if this does get reported elsewhere. It certainly is true that the Earth's magnetic field does reverse sometimes, on scales of a few hundred thousand years or so.

zmurko 7,622 Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 Cheers DJ. Yeah it does sound like something that would be major news, something that you'd expect to be found all over the news, at least in scientific journals. I've read about reversing of magnetic poles in the past as well and from what I understood, it would certainly cause a few "issues".

Squirrel 5,180 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I've heard about the magnetic field flip before. How much of it is true I don't know. it's not just the technological world that will be affected. Migratory animals such as birds and lots of sea life depend on magnetic fields for their sense of direction, if the magnetic field flip was such a huge problem then the natural world would be in chaos. The worst part of a flip would be the change in North and South. I'd no longer be a proud northerner. I'd be southern and that is not on at all!

djw180 6,846 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 It definitely does happen, but not very often in terms of human / animal life spans. It was covered in a course I took once. I think, if I can remember, there is clear evidence in the patterns of rocks on the ocean bed. When it has happened I guess animal species effected just evolve, some may go extinct, some new ones eventually emerge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustHatched 12,103 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Weird, I would think this would be bigger news if it did actually happen, but it makes sense to me in a way, on that day I had worked outside all day (same as I had for several days in a row) and it wasn't really hot out but I ended up with the muscle cramps and nausea like I had been out roofing in 100 degree heat (been there, done that, and know what it feels like). Maybe I got radiated.... Quote The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

zmurko 7,622 Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 Just a software glitch then, heh, all turned into a doomsday conspiracy by a sentenced white supremacist. Though news like these could easily be believed nowadays, just look at the weather, temperatures dropped by 15+ degrees C in less than a day here, from sunny warm weather to few inches of snow. 1 Quote S U N D A Y R A C I N G L E A G U E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrel 5,180 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Same weather here Z. Just another average Yorkshire spring day though! Can't beat a bit of snow a few days after tanning weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that as well. If you look at the pictures on that site that apparently show the magnetosphere collapse they are labelled 'model'. I know all about models coming up with something apparently interesting that just turns out to be a glitch in the software. Plus if it had happened I'm sure it would have affected navigation systems and we would have heard about airlines cancelling flights because their compasses weren't working.

zmurko 7,622 Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 I actually love that kind of chaos, like severe snow storms (a small chaos), etc, as it usually means this crazy world slows down a bit, or at least the usual routine is changed. 1 Quote S U N D A Y R A C I N G L E A G U E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good old Hal Turner. He was great at being a nasty racist but seems to be struggling with these conspiracy theories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
