Interesting stuff. I wonder if past pole shifts/reversals came about this way?

There’s evidence this has happened a dozen times in the past...

There are two kinds of pole shift. One kind is the magnetic field, and that seems to have happened many times and is happening now. The other is more or less catastrophic and involves either earth’s crust or the whole planet tipping over. That might have happened as recently as 12,000 years ago and be a regular event.

I wonder if the shift actully takes thousands of years or if it just pops around, suddenly.

?

That'd be some kinda' whiplash!
