Is the Earth preparing to flip?

[bob10]

Rest easy, not for a while yet. That would mean Aus. would be on top, instead of down under, Bob

yep.......it's wobbling now

[trog]

here are some maps showing that it already happened !

That's it. My Science teacher at school said the globes are that only by convention.... and then flipped the globe to put Australia at the top.

I have read of this event before. A couple of things to note not covered by this article. Bees rely on the magnetic field to pollinate. Might screw them up. Birds also will be effected. They have found evidence of the reversal of the magnetic field in old lava flows. This gives a fairly precise date when it has a cured,

Yes happens every few hundred millions years and it's been about 199 million something years since it last happened ;)

The end is nigh !

Around every 250,000 years, been 750,000 years since the last one, if you are going to make a statement, at least try to get it right. :D:no2: Bob

if you can't see the southern cross you'll know it's happened.

and you'll have to drive down to the cape.

Darwin will be the southern capital.

Tassie will be on top. It won't look like a map of tassie anymore.

we will be 2 1/2 hours behind Perth.

my home will no longer have a northerly aspect.

the mexicans might finally give up on their daylight saving crusade , once the roles are reversed.

oops.....we will become mexicans , but thousands of us won't rush to Melbourne every week

we won't live in the south pacific anymore

will the Antarctic melt and the Arctic freeze over?

will it still be hot in hell.....because I've already had heaven on earth?

Jeez, we are only talking about the magnetic field here! NOT the orientation of the Earth itself. ;)

what's happened to the grid?

[Meken]

So if you are going to criticise random ramblings which were clearly meant to show intent and not fact, then get it correct ... The bible of the Internet, Wikipedia, says random intervals on average about every 450,000 years but some intervals in the tens of thousands & others >20,000,000 years...
And yes it's only the magnetic field, the sun will still rise in the same place relative to your house only it will be called west not east ... It's just all about the way the compass points... Of course it may screw up the internet :0

Do you mean the matrix??

[ramblingboy42]

Do you mean the matrix??

no, the "worldwide grid" , a system it appears , that can used to draw motive power, and possibly be used for navigational purposes......harmonics33.

[Ferret]

When the field flips the last two characters in 'Harmonics33' will flip positions. Instead of 'Harmonics33' we will have 'Harmonics33'. Apart from that all will stay the same.

I think.

[ramblingboy42]

I quite like the idea of the rivers running back 'down' into Qld.

Unless the water becomes ironic I don't care about the magnetic fields.

wait.....will that make electric motors run backwards?

what about polarity in batteries? will we have to change to positive earth ?
