Earth’s magnetic field protects us from deadly space radiation. What if it were drastically weakened, as a precursor to flipping upside down? I mean, it has before … many, many times..

/ @n3umh
Spaceship Earth has a literal deflector shield. A geomagnetic field. Lines of magnetic force, forged by currents in the planet’s molten core, erupt from the surface close to the north south geographic poles, connecting to each other to wreath the planet in a dipole field, like a gigantic bar magnet. Magnetic fields exert a force on moving charged particles, causing them to spiral around those force lines. That’s helpful, because Earth is constantly bombarded by very fast moving charged particles, especially coming from the Sun. Our magnetic field deflects the worst of these. Not all planets are so lucky. Mars, with its solid core, has no such shield - and so the red planet’s atmosphere was stripped away by the solar wind billions of years ago.

Fun fact, the magnetic field started moving in opposite directions in 1859 and this just so happened to be the year of the Carrington event, a massive x-class solar flare hit earth causing auroras around the entire globe, it was so bright that people were able to read their newspapers outside at night. Anyway, that flare seemed to trigger the movement of the magnetic field of earth and it's movement has been accelerating ever since.

SyriusStar Multimedia In the Philosophy of Science, the scientific method is not Used as a tool to measure Certainty. In science, it uses a Probabilistic Framework. Scientists study what most likely will happen or least likely. There is actually no such things as 100% certainty in Science. Science is constantly changing and evolving with new observations and data. In science, Einstein made a HUGE paradigm shift and science now uses more of Einstein’s Theory than Newton’s but we don’t completely throw away Newton’s work but modify it to our current best explanation for gravity which is a pushing force caused by the curvature of the fabric of space time by the uneven distribution of mass. Newton’s theory of gravity, philosophically, he thinks that gravity is a pulling force which is completely not accurate compared to Einstein. These are the types of paradigm shift science go through with new observations and theories. It’s not perfect.

One of the very best explanations of how the earth's magnetic field is generated that I have heard. I can see the similarities with dynamos (for example automobile dc generators, pre-alternators) in that they relied upon residual magnetism to self excite. If the residual magnetism was lost, the dynamo could be "flashed" with a battery to reinstate the field, but get it the wrong way round and the dynamo output would be reversed, even with the same direction of rotation.

Like this PBS Space Time episode that paper said it was too soon to know if the poles were starting to reverse, but it did point to an increasing number of magnetic anomalies. It also mentioned that as far as danger from cosmic radiation goes, the hot spots would be the boundaries between those mini poles, but that those boundaries would move relatively quickly.

I didn't try to correlate or look to see if there were any magnetic anomalies during this time period it was just kind of a theory I had as to why I was losing so many birds.

How do you know he isn’t cherry picking ideas? This is a short video in a field where thousands of papers and decades of study have been done, so clearly he had to cherry pick the main ideas. Not saying he is right or wrong. I am only asking cause I watch other science channels and they always have a lot of studies cited, and I didn’t find any here. Most of what he said seemed main stream so I guess he didn’t feel he should site his information, but there is a whole debate at this new shift in the poles that would be nice to see presented rather than shrugged off as…”don’t worry, it won’t happen in your life time” which again, I agree, but I felt leaving out the debate of actual real peer reviewed studies saying the shift could be from 26yrs to 500yrs plus is a worthy mention in an unbiased video about the magnetic pole shift.

As I was watching this I just kept remembering how in the Army map reading classes they would talk about how each map had a chart on it that said the difference between magnetic and true north for the section of the planet it was covering so you could travel in the correct direction with a compass. But since they were government maps that were all 30-40 years old and they never covered the magnetic north pole shifting with time, now I know those numbers would have sent you in a bit of the wrong direction in the past few years. Glad we started using GPS instead.

[@ossiedunstan4419]

when they shift the north pole does not become the south pole, the poles remain where they , this why compasses still work .

[@MrZenmancer]

@@ossiedunstan4419 I think you completely misunderstood what I was talking about. The Magnetic North Pole is not the same as the True North Pole. So depending where you are in the world the compass will be slightly off from where the true north actually is. Now when you use a map in the legend of the map there is a conversion chart that tells you for the current part of the world map covers how many degrees difference there is from the North Pole and the Magnetic North Pole. Since the Magnetic North Pole changes, the degrees in that Legend would change with it. So unless they update the maps every time the North Pole slightly changes your heading will be off by a small amount. It has nothing to do with the North Pole becoming the South Pole.

Consider that our universe is systems within systems. Magnetic systems influence each other. Relative position of a magnetic source in it's system could exibit changes in polarity or field structure. Could the flips then be related to our sun's position in our galaxie. Keeping in mind there are many other systems and their magnetic concentrations shift as fluidly as our core. I recommend the magnet game polarity to get an intuitive feel for this. One placement gets out of sync and the entire play field suddenly shifts. Thanks for journeying with me in this thought.

@@tomghzel I'm not sure what you're referring to. Keep in mind I posted this 2 years ago so I'm not sure what exactly was in the video. Though I remember the video well. I've seen it a few times. I don't recall anything about it going the other way. No, what they're studying here is what exactly creates the Earth's magnetic field in the first place. Anything they learn about geomagnetic pole reversals would be incidental. There's nothing to worry about in terms of geomagnetic pole reversals anyways. Yes they do happen. But when one does happen, it likely won't be for several thousand years at the earliest, and the process will likely take hundreds, if not thousands of years. I can't cite any figures off the top of my head, so I welcome you to look some up from a credible resource. Wikipedia's a good start, then follow their citations from there. You could find out how long the whole process takes. What the odds are of another one happening in say, the next 1000 years or whatever. Stuff like that. You must keep in mind though that a geomagnetic pole reversal is a geological event, and geological events occur over geological periods of time, which is VERY slow. Events occur over periods of thousands or millions (or more!) years. As far as it having an effect on water. I'm not sure where you got this idea, but water isn't (very) magnetic. Not enough to be affected by the Earth's magnetic field. So a pole reversal shouldn't affect the oceans at all. But if there's some mechanism I'm missing here I would love to hear it. Don't worry about a pole reversal though. Even if one started right this moment, it wouldn't even become strong enough to cause any problems within our lifetimes. But in reality it probably won't occur until many thousands of years after we've died. It's just pseudoscientific scare mongering. Nothing more. Like the people who say Yellowstone will erupt soon. Or that Los Angeles will break off of California when "the next big one" comes." Or that we're overdue for a tunguska sized meteor to hit a place like New York. It's just scare mongering meant to sell books or documentaries. So you're safe from that. In terms of geomagnetic events, I'd be more worried about solar storms. Those actually pose a real threat of doing significant damage to humanity within the next few decades. The odds aren't staggering, but considering what could happen, they're high enough.
