Diagram showing solid-body rotation of the Earth with respect to a stationary spin axis due to true polar wander. This diagram is greatly exaggerated. According to Doubrovine and his team, Earth's solid outer layers have been slowly rotating at a rate of 0.2 degrees every million years. Diagram via Wikimedia Commons.and more germane to this list:
earth as a tippe top
Obama's ego? The earth is simply trying to reorient to the new gravitational and magnetic center of the universe.
Ping.
That’s two for two so far this week.
So the Mayans were right?
Ping.
That’s two for two so far this week.
“These scientists used hotspots in Earth’s mantle as part of a computer model, which they say is accurate for the past 120 million years,”
120 million years? WTH.
Does Al Gore know that Earth is not in Balance?
Bush’s fault.
“accurate for the past 120 million years”
Statements like this make my eyes roll so far back in my head they get stuck.
The experts can’t even accurately predict what the local weather is going to be tomorrow.
Note to self; Buy new compass in 900 million years.
Are they messing around with those computer “models” again?
It’s strange that all of these doomsday dolts whine and bellow about some perceived “tragedy that only they can “prove” with “their” computers.
But deny what we, and common sense, can plainly see and prove, like whether or no Obama is ruling the country.
Where’s the computer model on that?
So Guam could tip over?
As a result, laws must be passed requiring us all to drive on the left side of the road.
What would that do to communications satellites (GPS) placed in geosychronous orbits? Are they “smart” enough to automatically update their relative polar and equatorial positioning offsets?
Yeah, and the continents are shifting, and the poles are moving around, and the moon is moving away from us 1.5 inches per year and the sun is going to burn out in 4.5 billion years and Bush is to blame for it all.
Otherwise we are doomed.
It would follow that in places where the earth's crust is thinner ‘hot spots’ would occur and that is what the authors were tracking and extrapolating from those past ‘hot spot’ tracks. It appears the authors are claiming better confirmation rather than any new theory.
OR
the Earth and Universe are not that old...
AND
a recent catastrophic Biblical worldwide flood caused a magnetic shift...
Kinda like the one Dr. Walt Brown describes in the hydroplate theory.
Ah, I can foresee a new Cause célèbre for “Progressives” when anthropogenic global warming finally collapses! “True Polar Wander: We’re all doomed unless we take DRASTIC action NOW to IMMEDIATELY halt true polar wander in its tracks!” First, we must stop consuming Mother Earth’s resources, and second, we must redistribute trillions of dollars of ill-gotten gains from Western economies to down-trodden, have-not “countries” such as Nauru, Tuvalu, Andorra, and Palau. That should stop true polar wander, right? Right?
(In the mean time, Mongo say, “Fracking bad.”)
