... "Solar wind to shield Earth during pole flip..." www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99994985 Don't worry. Be happy. You're making the same basic mistake as Nancy, Rudy old bean... magnetic pole reversal spin axis pole movement. The latter is held constant by our pal, the moon. Unless you get rid of the moon, you are unlikely to effect a shift in the Earth's spin axis poles. |

Unless you get rid of the moon, you are unlikely to effect a shift in the Earth's spin axis poles. The article states, "Records of the field direction, frozen into sediments laid down on the seabed, show that the magnetic field has reversed hundreds of times in the past 400 million years... the last reversal 730,000 years ago." The records show evidence that the magnetic field has reversed hundreds of times. Where was the moon during those past reversals? Are you saying that the Earth recently aquired the moon within the past 730,000 years, and prior to that the Earth had no moon? If you are saying that the magnetic poles are kept constant by the moon, then it appears that the evidence of past pole reversals seems to indicate that you are wrong, unless, of course, the Earth had no moon during those reversals. |

What sort of mental malady do you have that would interpret his post in such a fashion? Clearly, obviously, Paul referred to the positions of the rotational poles, and not to the magnetic poles. In fact, he took particular pains to mention that the axial, rotational poles that are stabilized by the Moon. If you are saying that the magnetic poles are kept constant by the moon, then it appears that the evidence of past pole reversals seems to indicate that you are wrong, unless, of course, the Earth had no moon during those reversals. Clearly you are intentionally misinterpreting his post. He stated that the physical rotational poles are stabilized by the Moon. The magnetic poles are free to reverse and wander according to their own dynamics. It would seem that you are the one trying to make hay from a misleading article title, implying that the rotational axis ("the poles") are wont to flip hither and thither. The article itself made it clear that it was the magnetic poles that were being discussed. |

Are you really Nancy? |

Thought this was sarcasm, at first. You're making the same basic mistake as Nancy, Rudy old bean... magnetic pole reversal spin axis pole movement.... The records show evidence that the magnetic field has reversed hundreds of times. Where was the moon during those past reversals? Whoosh! Reckon it wasn't sarcasm after all! Hint: "" is a graphic representation of "not equal to." Now, the reversal, when it happens, will certainly cause its share of problems. It'll likely be a boon for my career field - avionics software. Hope it happens soon! |
