World's Magnetic Field is Changing
 

Story is here

Whoa! This is some strange shit. :(:eek: :igor:

I'll get the sunblock.... :)

nothing new. happened before.

yeah, last friday. that was a bit of a nightmare really wasn't it.

north flips to south every few thousand years

I didn't know that. :eek:

youed be suprised how meny people dont.
some scentists dont! they only found out by looking at thease tiny little crustatia that grow diferntly according to the magnectic north

So am I now in the Southern Hemisphere?

It happens to every planet and star like our sun.

And when it happens be prepared for war as a lot of electrical (all?) wont work- Lets hope the missiles dont work either.

the change happens every i dunno 100,000 years but its a gradual change over a long period of time. so for several several generations humans wont have a strong megnetic field protecting us. Get out that sun screen people its gonna be a scorture :cool:

radiowaves will also be near worthless i think

Do you think that is one possible reason for Global Warming?

no

its a reason for global radiation from the sun. beit ultraviolet infared xrays whatever doesn't get passed the megnetic field will

global warmming is caused by your car china and mexico

Odds are, Windude thinks it's a conspiracy. ;)

I dont doubt that for some reason.

::continues to wear an aluminum foil hat::

It's not a conspiracy- my patented "Van-Allen-Belt Magnetopheric Shifter-dynamo Apparatus" in my basement is just working as well as expected.

Finally after all these years, the ocean will rise and swallow LA... :p

no to get the tides to swallow LA you need a Lunar Orbital Incrametric Degravtating Tidal Modulator Device to do that.

or LOIDTMD for short

they sell them at radioshack

Not exactly a common thing, and we're far overdue.

I don't think the flip should affect radio waves too much. During actual fluctuations it will, but as long as it's steady, radio waves will be fine. Radio waves would be perfectly functional with no magnetic field at all.

Of course, this might all be moot. They don't know that it's going to flip any time soon. They just suspect that it might.

THis has been thought of as witch craft. but infact it is scientific. I will not see it in my lifetime but i hope my great X 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 children will see it

IT'S NOT A CONSPIRACY!!?!?!?!?!!?!??
wow it must be true:D

since you never leave that box of yours, you will never have children(I hope)

with all the micro and radio waves humans are exposed too scientist predict (through stuides on rats) that humans will lose the genetic structure stablity required to produce offspring in 5 generations. that means your great great great great grandson will be impetent cuz radio waves gradually made his nuts non exsistant through generations of reproduction of damaged geens.

test on rats. after expsoing them to cell phones microwaves and what not and making them have babies and repeating the test on the babies till they have babies they became impetent.

what this means is that countries that are left over from disease (not africa) and self irradiating (industrial nations that are killing themselves) will rule the planet. in esence countries like.....

What the hell are you talking about, now?

@ Vie and whiteflip --> It happens gradually every 250,000 years, but earth is almost 500,000 years too slow. I realize that it happens to every planet and star like Earth and the Sun, but what are the effects, asside from masive electrical interferance?

I think the Earth should flip around 180 degrees instead of just flipping it's magnetic poles- flip the whole flipping thing :)

well for one internal compasses wont work all that well. birds will be confused when they try to migrate. even humans with their direction cuz we have internal compasses in our nose. and its true that men have a bigger internal compass than women.

we still know how to navigate by sun and stars so it wont affect us but think of the birds! how can they fly south when south is north???

if this is correct, and the rats running around in the wild are exposed to the same amount of radiation as humans are, shouldn't the rat population in large cities(NY and LA) be dying out as we speak?

That wont matter for us! I know north from south. I am actually talking about geographical North and geographical South. Could we be wrong, and have had the polars reversed. Say that the people that discovered North and South poles got it backwards??!!?

Birds go where its warm, migration paths depend on the heat as well. They can adjust their direction instead.;)

scientist have removed the internal compases of birds by two experiments one is surgically removing it form the brain the other is attaching a powerful magnet to the bird. the birds were confused

rats tend to be serwer dwellers so are less exposed to radiation.

does that mean those damn canadian geese will go back to canada where they belong, instead of camping out in new jersey?


man invented the word "north" and the word "south". man invented the definitions of both those words. they are just two names for the two extremes of our planets. if the polarity of the earth switched suddenly, the names would still apply as long as man wanted them to apply.

just like a man who has a sex change is still a man, in my book.

Damn you. You beat me to it. :D

I didn't pay much attention to it yesterday. I actually woke up this morning with it in my head, though. :)

If radiation was really that bad, then the rabbits, the squirrels, and all the other land-dwelling mammals (in the cities) would already be sterile. This is guaranteed to be another case of "saccharin research". "Hey, if we set these rast directly on top of a radio transmitter going full blast, they become sterile! Radio waves are bad for you! Hey, if we put rats in the microwave, they explode in a gooey mess! Microwave ovens are bad for you!" Come on.

I guarantee those rats were exposed to far more radiation than than any human normally is. If they wanted to do accurate research, they would have just carried the rats with them all the time, so they would be exposed to the same amount of radiation as a human. But that wouldn't be as interesting, because the rats wouldn't have suffered any negative effects.

i knew buying up 20 million boxes of compasses would be a bad idea :hang::( oh well, shit happens, rats die...[phil collins]iiiit's juuust the ciiiiiirccccllllee oooof liiiifeeeee[/bad singing]

Haha! B_h got duped! ;)

That's cool though how they screw with birds minds. ;)

Are you dissing the Canadian geese!? Come over to Canada and let me video tape you hurting them. If you dont sustain any injuries from them becoming more aggressive is recent years, I'll give the tape to the police and you'll be charged. ;)

from infoplease.com
looking at the first definition tells us what geographic north is.

another way i've heard of is if you take your right hand and curl your fingers in towards your palm and extend your thumb, your fingers follow the rotation of the planet on its axis and your thumb will point towards the geographic north of the planet.

also "magnetic north" isn't really north, since "oppisites attract" (north to south) when your north needle on your compass stops it pointing towards the south magnetic pole.

internal compasess instead of pointing to the northern pole would point south. they would be revresed.

would birds migrate backwards?:eek:

And if your hand is bigger than your face, it means you've got cancer. :p

I don't know what you mean by "north needle", but the end of the needle that is supposed to point to the north points to the north.

It doesn't actually point directly to the north, though, because the magnetic north isn't perfectly aligned to the true north. It's close enough, though.

one side of the needle points to the north and the other side points to the south. there is no such thing as a "north needle."

Muhahahahahahaha. My plan is complete.

they probably just threw the rat in a reactor core and said "see, it's dead. this means that the human race is going to die out soon because of radiation. let's say about...5 generations, yeah, 5 sounds good."

for the right hand method imagine your hand is the planet (any planet)

if this confuses you then i don't dare mention the left hand rule that deals with electricty and how future space stations may be powered by dragging a cable and orbiting the earth in a certain direction.


english isn't my strongest area and i may have trouble explaining myself, what i meant was that a compass is of course a magnet, it has a north end and a south end, the north end of a magnet will be attracted to the south end of another magnet, so the north end of your compass will point to the south end of the earths magnetic field.

the right hand rule has to do with magnetism and the flow of current.

if you wrap your hands around a plain piece of wire and ectend your thumb, if the thumb is the direction flow, then the directioin your fingers point is the direction of the magnetic flux flows.

thats why AC going through a wire creats a magnetic field, the contstant changing of the fields, collapsing and expanding, cause their direction suttenly changes as the direction of the current flow changes.

i was refering to the left hand rule about two thrids down on this page

http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/electrom...ors/index.html

and i've heard it go both ways for the rule you are talking about (left and right) i think the problem is accepting which way the current is flowing, from pos to neg or from neg to pos (which is the one i use) as to which hand goes to which dirction i can't remember.
