Yes, and it is easily demonstrated by standing outside on a clear night and searching among the stars for the North Star, Polaris. The North Star is no longer visible from the lower 49 states.
The stars haven’t moved but the north and south poles have definitely wandered. One can no longer see Polaris from the lower forty-nine states because magnetic north is now closer to Siberia. We are below the horizon of visibility.
Not sure where you are located, but I live in Idaho and I can see Polaris every clear night when I walk the doggies.
Polaris is our North Star now, and is visible in the northern hemisphere. Precession has caused the North Star to change over tens of thousands of years, and the previous North Star, Vega, is not always visible to all in the north.
Magnetic north is a different thing altogether, and has moved and flipped many times.
The biggest thing about this is to buy lots of zinc sunscreen to help block the increase in cosmic rays that a reduced magnetic field will allow. And backup all your computer memories as cosmic rays degrade those, too.
Forgot your Sarcasm tag. Someone might actually believe you. ;-)
“The North Star is no longer visible from the lower 49 states.”
While I have not actually gone outside at night to try this, I find it nearly impossible to believe.
What you are saying is almost on the level of saying the moon is no longer visible.
I have to believe you are either highly mistaken or that you failed to express your point clearly.
Are you claiming that the North Star can not be seen at night from the mainland anywhere in the US? Are you talking about due to smog or low visibility due to city lights?
Surely I missed something in your claim. It can’t be true.
Untrue
The earth doesn’t rotate as part of magnetic pole drift.
I live on the northern border of Los Angeles and Polaris is not only visible, it’s high in the sky.
You need to get an astronomy app for your smartphone to help you find Polaris.
