When the British surrendered to the Colonies, what song did their band play?

This would prove Hapgood as correct.

Yup.

And the evidence continues to accumulate.

Earth Tipping on its own is hard to imagine. Perhaps, if a large enough meteor, asteroid, or comet struck Earth with a tangential blow to cause a rotation not aligned with the Earth’s axis, maybe. But, how would this resolve back to the normal axis.

Dzhanibekov effect.

Seabed fossils have been found high on Mt. McKinley in Alaska (14,000 ft. level I believe). The magnetic signature in these fossils indicate they were formed at the equator. Hmm...

TITO should have said tilted on the axis relative to the sun...

My best guess.

Have you ever eaten at Tito’s in San Diego? The carnitas and blackened fish tacos are to die for.

Oh btw, the Earth’s magnetic field flip flops every million years or so.

Not to mention that if it happened once it probably happened more than once in billions of years.

If you happen to be in the right place on Earth, the Sun would appear to stand still.

As if I don’t have enough to worry about. 😳

Hey, if I can't sleep there's no reason you should be allowed to sleep!

I think it’s more like every 27,000 years, that the magnetic field reverses.

If the magnetic field is caused by the difference in rotation of the earths core and the surface crust, then those rotations must reverse for the magnetic field to reverse.

So, why on earth would the crust be moving at a different rate than the core? There is no friction in space. And why would it reverse?

My theory is that the earth surface was hit by meteors and shifted - the ‘elasticity’ of the magna makes them oscillate back and forth like a spring door, with an oscillation period of 27,000 years

Was the core

Right... like asking slow joe to stand in the corner, in the oval office... actually, that might be fun to watch.

Hi. I hope you are doing well.

Thanks for your input.

The FAA is currently re-numbering runways to account for magnetic north.
