Earth's Weakening Magnetossphere

Update Of 1/12/2019

Just read this article published by Nature Journal: Earth’s magnetic field is acting up and geologists don’t know why Erratic motion of north magnetic pole forces experts to update model that aids global navigation.

“On 15 January, they are set to update the World Magnetic Model, which describes the planet’s magnetic field and underlies all modern navigation, from the systems that steer ships at sea to Google Maps on smartphones.

The most recent version of the model came out in 2015 and was supposed to last until 2020 — but the magnetic field is changing so rapidly that researchers have to fix the model now.”

Surprisingly, this article is completely silent about the long overdue magnetic pole flip and the overall weakening of the magnetosphere for the past 200-300 years.

Update Of 2/4/2017

Just discovered this article about a new model that can also be used for the earth’s core:

“ … The new material is made from an alloy of indium and gallium (eGaIn) with various particles suspended within it. When flowing, its ability to generate or modify magnetic fields is up to five times greater than that of pure liquid metal. That, along with a significant increase in electrical conductivity, means researchers can use the material to study the effects of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD)—the magnetic properties of conductive fluids usually only observable in the cores of planets and stars. … Attempts to recreate the Earth's magnetic field have been attempted in other labs, but with limited success. Most involve the use of highly explosive liquid sodium, which requires very large models.

"People have tried these big flow chambers as large as three meters across, filled with liquid sodium and spinning around like a miniature Earth," said Brown.

With the material ... scientists can potentially create models as small as 20 square centimeters to recreate the phenomena of magnetic fields. … allows users to tune its viscosity and levels of magnetism to better fit their own research and applications.”

Just watched this video NOVA Magnetic Pole Flip 530,000 Years Overdue & Happening Now? on Youtube (Unfortunately, PBS would not allow the original video to be found via Google. You can’t even find this video on Nova’s own website!).

A Weakening Magnetosphere

The above documentary makes a number of scary statements:

1. The magnetosphere has been weakening considerable over the past 200-300 years or so as evidenced by measurements
2. The magnetic pole flip happens about every 200,000 years or so, but the last one occurred 530,000 years ago
3. Without the magnetosphere life on earth is seriously threatened as it e.g. deflects most of the constant solar winds to reach earth’s surface and the atmosphere would disappear over time
4. A magnetic pole flip may take thousands of years. During the transition period wandering multipoles may appear (as opposed to the normal dipole) etc.

An Underreported Apocalypse Waiting To Happen?

It appears to be a strangely underreported, very consequential natural phenomenon. If I were a conspiracy theorist, then I would assume that the citizens of the world are deliberately left in the dark.

Global Warming (a.k.a. Climate Change) and its asserted negative effects are a walk in the park compared to a magnetic pole flip. Unlike Global Warming, which human ingenuity can easily counteract, a permanently weakened or further weakening magnetosphere is beyond human capabilities.
