Hole found in earths magnetosphere.

[TimeGap]

Ye indeed Baxter, that where the "East is least, and west is best" comes from, magnetic declination its called if I remember my navigation exams correctly (Well the formula is for the southern hmisphere anyways)

Basically, to find true north from magnetic, when going east, suptract 14 degrees, when going west, add 14 degrees, and also I know that it is revised every year as the poles and magnetic field of earth is always shifting, in the early ages of sailing it was 12 degrees or something... This "Event" I do not beleive is something that will happen overnight, it is an ongoing process that will never stop.

I blame the shape of the earth for this, and the widening of the equator.

Anyways, I recon ill be a billionare before it all happens, so ill just buy a seat on one of those cool ships they are building in China

i do navigation with the army cadets, and we learn GMS (grid to magnetic - subtract) and MGA (magnetic to grid - add) for the variation. we use 'mils' instead of degrees (cos theyre more accurate - 6400 mils in a circle, as opposed to 360 degrees) and the variation on most of our maps is currently 201 mils, or 0.08845 degrees

...globally the magnetic field has weakened 10% since the 19th century. When this was mentioned by researchers at a recent meeting of the American Geophysical Union, many newspapers carried the story. A typical headline: "Is Earth's magnetic field collapsing?"
...
Probably not. As remarkable as these changes sound, "they're mild compared to what Earth's magnetic field has done in the past," says University of California professor Gary Glatzmaier.

Sometimes the field completely flips. The north and the south poles swap places. Such reversals, recorded in the magnetism of ancient rocks, are unpredictable. They come at irregular intervals averaging about 300,000 years; the last one was 780,000 years ago. Are we overdue for another? No one knows.
...
Earth's present-day magnetic field is, in fact, much stronger than normal. The dipole moment, a measure of the intensity of the magnetic field, is now 8 × 1022 amps × m2. That's twice the million-year average of 4× 1022 amps × m2.
...
Using the equations of magnetohydrodynamics, a branch of physics dealing with conducting fluids and magnetic fields, Glatzmaier and colleague Paul Roberts have created a supercomputer model of Earth's interior. Their software heats the inner core, stirs the metallic ocean above it, then calculates the resulting magnetic field. They run their code for hundreds of thousands of simulated years and watch what happens.

What they see mimics the real Earth: The magnetic field waxes and wanes, poles drift and, occasionally, flip. Change is normal, they've learned.

NASA never fails...

Change is indeed the norm for this planet, but TPTB would have us believe the planet has always been the way it is today and nothing EVER changes and that any change should be met with a CO2 tax to maintain the status quo

I posted them both so peeps can see it's not just some crazy fox gibberish.


No other thoughts????

OH NO! i didnt post them in support of my OP, i merely posted them as it is relevant to the current topic instead of starting another thread....

My bad, i should have said that at time of posting the links
