there was an article yesterday about the earth possessing a 27.5 million year 'pulse'. Were we in an area of the galaxy 3 pulses or around 84 million years ago that could have contributed to shift?

Interesting article, and thanks for posting it.
However, the hyperbole in mainstream science articles is tiresome. Starting with our 23 degree tilt, adding 12 degrees, then back again is significant, but it’s not at all Earth tilting “on it’s side” or going back and forth “like a roly poly toy”.

Not only is it cool getting credits in your creative writing class, but your science department can possibly get grant money to study your creative theory further.

Wasn’t some congressman concerned about Guam tipping over?

Seems like geophysics and astrophysics, like several other areas of physics, are full of untestable hypotheses. It's great that they are formulating these hypotheses, but we all need to realize that any hypothesis that is not definitively testable remains only a hypothesis - even if based upon observed data.

From wikipedia:
The Uranian axis of rotation is approximately parallel with the plane of the Solar System, with an axial tilt of 97.77° (as defined by prograde rotation). This gives it seasonal changes completely unlike those of the other planets. Near the solstice, one pole faces the Sun continuously and the other faces away. Only a narrow strip around the equator experiences a rapid day–night cycle, but with the Sun low over the horizon. At the other side of Uranus’s orbit the orientation of the poles towards the Sun is reversed. Each pole gets around 42 years of continuous sunlight, followed by 42 years of darkness.

Oh for crying out loud, who comes up with this stuff? Which is easier to believe, that the world is so old that no one really knows it’s true age, or that God created it just 6,000 years ago? I mean, come on!

No kidding. My 10th grade English class had better written stories than this, and the teacher would have sent this nonsense back for clarity editing.
