Earth's Magnetic Field Could Soon Be Flipped-Turned Upside Down
Earth’s magnetic field may be about to reverse, which could have devastating consequences for humanity.
The Earth’s satellites, power lines, ocean currents, and animal migration patterns are all dependent on the stability of the magnetic field, which envelops the planet and shields it from harmful cosmic rays like a pair of polarized sunglasses. Modern humans have been lucky to take that stability for granted; the Earth hasn’t experienced a full magnetic pole switcheroo for 780,000 years (though it experienced a temporary one 41,000 years ago). But after looking at evidence of magnetic field reversals in the Earth’s rocks, Phil Livermore, Ph.D., and John Mound, Ph.D., suggest it could happen sooner rather than later.

Science!
God can't save us this time!
We demand all scientists direct their attention here. Save the earth!
yea verily
