Rapid changes in the churning movement of Earth's liquid outer core are weakening the magnetic field in some regions of the planet's surface, a new study says.
"What is so surprising is that rapid, almost sudden, changes take place in the Earth's magnetic field," said study co-author Nils Olsen, a geophysicist at the Danish National Space Center in Copenhagen.
The findings suggest similarly quick changes are simultaneously occurring in the liquid metal, 1,900 miles (3,000 kilometers) below the surface, he said.
The swirling flow of molten iron and nickel around Earth's solid center triggers an electrical current, which generates the planet's magnetic field.
The study, published recently in Nature Geoscience, modeled Earth's magnetic field using nine years of highly accurate satellite data.

Change fell out of my pocket today and my hair is standing straight up. Looks like we’re upside-down. Good thing I have a compass that always points south so I can find a penguin and ask directions home.

“Daddy!!..Daddy!! that man said we are all going to fall off the world”
“Buckle up, kids”.
GPS would continue to work in a mag-pole-flip scenario.
We would have to blow to the east i.6 billion muslims would be blowing toward mecca
A vegan diet will help stop this dangerous pole flip. The UN has long advocated a vegetarian diet and their foresight is apparent.
Whew, we just broke down and bought a Magellan!
Will any of my carbon credits help me survive this coming disaster.
I'd like more info please.
NASA Details Earthquake Effects on the Earth
January 10, 2005
NASA scientists using data from the Indonesian earthquake calculated it affected Earth’s rotation, decreased the length of day, slightly changed the planet’s shape, and shifted the North Pole by centimeters. The earthquake that created the huge tsunami also changed the Earth’s rotation.

2012 the end of the Mayan Calender means WE’RE ALL DOOMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RUN FOR THE HILLS
Labeled a “Flip-Flop”. Is the earth a Democrat?
As an engineer I sometimes think that Christ being the life and the light he has the power within himself that as he travels to these lower realms all things realign automatically. like a magnet and some ferrous material, all align to the source of power..interesting thoughts..perhaps the tilt is not a function of the earths core materials but the reaction of Christ attention and possible appearance, either the realm aligns itself, or is so far from being a conductive material due to its sins(darkness)that the light and power flux repels the darkness causing these affects..
I know, huh? Just some food for thought..Come Lord Jesus!!
Wouldn’t we all
HAB Theory...
It is said that many who read The HAB Theory remember it for years. I don’t remember it, so maybe I haven’t read it. But, I shall as soon as it arrives from Amazon. Out of print, but used are available, some for outlandish price.
So basically you are saying refrigerator art is the cause of TEOLAWKI (the end of life as we know it)?
The earth is an art critic? Who knew.
