It's not going to cause an apocalypse by tearing up the Earth you tard
Generating a magnetic field through sheer physical qualities /=/ your fucking toys, you engineering twat
it's a fucking dynamo. same electrical principles as a function electric generator. you move a ferrous material you get a field
THAT'S WHAT A FUCKING ELECTRIC MACHINE DOES!
And what do you think is going to happen if it reverses? It's not going to do shit on the surface you retard
That force has an entire fucking planet to diffuse through.
again, this is theoretical. The fact that there are at least a DOZEN papers correlating solar activty to earthquakes is NOT psedo-science in the slightest
Worse case scenario you get some earthquakes of questionable severeity and some volcanism.
Not an extinction event you cunt
that's the debate.
what's the worst case? how does the core interact with the plates? etc
Tectonic plates do not ride on top of a core. They ride on top of a semisolid mantle, ontop of a liquid outer core and a solid inner core
no one is saying the earth is going to 'blow up' only that there is a connection
yes, i am simplifying greatly because i have no clue what your technical background is
While there are reputable studies showing that true polar wander has occurred at various times in the past, the rates are much smaller (1° per million years or slower) than predicted by the pole shift hypothesis (up to 1° per thousand years).[2][3][23] Analysis of the evidence does not lend credence to Hapgood's hypothesized rapid displacement of layers of the Earth.[24] Data indicates that the geographical poles have not deviated by more than about 5° over the last 130 million years, contradicting the hypothesis of a cataclysmic polar wander event.[25] More rapid past possible occurrences of true polar wander have been measured: from 790 to 810 million years ago, true polar wander of approximately 55° may have occurred twice.[4]
in any case, there is still alot we don't know in terms of how a the periodic changes earth's magnetic field effect the earth because it's a transient condition

Your wiki directly contradicts EMPIRICAL data
which is more recent
Tests of correlations between extinctions and reversals are difficult for a number of reasons. Larger animals are too scarce in the fossil record for good statistics, so paleontologists have analyzed microfossil extinctions. Even microfossil data can be unreliable if there are hiatuses in the fossil record. It can appear that the extinction occurs at the end of a polarity interval when the rest of that polarity interval was simply eroded away.[25] Statistical analysis shows no evidence for a correlation between reversals and extinctions.[56][44]
The above was the old theory, however if you observe the map, you can see that the 'wandering pole' is no longer wandering in the same region and has been accelerating southward.
Even if the internal magnetic field did disappear, the solar wind can induce a magnetic field in the Earth's ionosphere sufficient to shield the surface from energetic particles.
how in the hell do you figure that? Without the earth's magnetic field, the solar wind would irradiate the surface and quickly strip away the ionsphere
and the field weakens, then 'flips' just like taking two poles of the same magnet closer and closer together until finally the magent reorients itself
without the van-allen belts the act to deflect the solar wind, it would eventually strip the plant of an atmosphere
I tried to join a commie server. They banned me before I could get the last screenshot, unfortunately.
>I'm a reactionary egalitarian
What does that mean?
@ManAnimal Look it up retard
@phadreus Why be so obvious and blunt about why you were there. You could have easily had weeks of fun if you played it out and worked around their system. I don't understand why you'd give them a good reason to ban you before getting a chance to have some fun on the server
Or used to
Tbh, you're right
I'll try it your way next time
@Monstrous Moonshine It's just a nuanced way of saying right-wing egalitarianism. The explanation was in the screenshot I didn't get. "People should be given the same rights and allowed to form hierarchies freely. Equity is also mutually exclusive to egalitarianism"
