There is evidence it may have happened in the past, but I think it takes something drastic to cause it.------------------ "Never mentally imagine for another that which you would not want to experience for yourself, since the mental image you send out inevitably comes back to you."

Nothing's gonna happen, and then the New-Agers will just keep bumping the supposed date up. Just like how fundamentalist Christians keep predicting Armageddon and then bumping the date up when that time comes and goes and nothing happens.They're two opposite 'poles' that basically operate in the exact same manner, but for whatever reasons the New-Agers and occultists are critical and derisive of, the Christians which I find more than a little funny.

The last such event, called the Brunhes-Matuyama reversal, occurred some 780,000 years ago. The mechanism responsible for geomagnetic reversals is not well understood. Some scientists have produced models for the core of the Earth wherein the magnetic field is only quasi-stable and the poles can spontaneously migrate from one orientation to the other over the course of a few hundred to a few thousand years. Other scientists propose that the geodynamo first turns itself off, either spontaneously or through some external action like a comet impact, and then restarts itself with the magnetic "North" pole pointing either North or South. External events are not likely to be routine causes of magnetic field reversals due to the lack of a correlation between the age of impact craters and the timing of reversals. Regardless of the cause, when magnetic "North" reappears in the opposite direction this is a reversal, whereas turning off and returning in the same direction is called a geomagnetic excursion. Using a magnetic detector (a variant of a compass), scientists have measured the historical direction of the Earth's magnetic field, by studying the layered iron-rich lava rocks. This is possible as each layer has been found to maintain the original magnetic field at its time of cooling. They have found that the poles have shifted a number of times throughout the past. ------------------ NumeroLexigrams ~I remember, therefore I am immortal ~Lexxigramer My Lexigramming Biography IP: Logged |

So if this were to happen suddenly, I can imagine it would make the Carrington Event look like a sparkler does to a professional firework display in the worst-case scenario.I also have to wonder if other planets had any changes around the same time-frame... What was our section of the galaxy passing through, if anything, around the time of the last reversal. Or even our solar system if more localized, for that matter... Could it be triggered by a mass of Dark Matter passing through the Earth's core? So much we don't know... IP: Logged |
