Few weeks ago I red a "scientific" report saying that a pole reversal takes hundreds of thousands of years, and now this! Earth’s Magnetic Field Flipped Superfast | Wired Science | Wired.com Read my signature!...
But apocalyptic SyFy channel movies to the contrary, nobody should worry about waking up one morning to geomagnetic havoc, says Bogue. “To geologists a polarity reversal is a nearly instantaneous thing that changes a global feature of the Earth — it’s really a spectacular phenomenon,” he says. “But if you were alive when it was happening, it probably wouldn’t be that big a deal.” Well, THAT is good to know! Still, it's gonna be a bummer to have to read our maps upside down.
ROFL!...true! And holding the compas in your hand and having to circle it 180 degrees to read it!...Wait...that doesn't make sense, does it? Hmmmmm...gotta make me a new tinfoil hat and think over what I just wrote...Or just get drunk and forget about it... hmmmm
