NOAA Will Announce the New Predicted Locations of the Magnetic Poles for 2020-2025 on December 10th. (WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW RIGHT NOW?)

This may be why Russia fucking with Arctic building bases is such a big deal. Lets also not forget Trump wanting to buy Greenland. I would say watch for people buying real estate far north if the shift is going to go this direction.

Magnetic north is not where it used to be.

Since 2015, the place to which a compass points has been sprinting toward Siberia at a pace of more than 30 miles (48 kilometres) a year. And this week, after a delay caused by the month-long partial government shutdown in the United States, humans have finally caught up.

The planet's magnetic field is generated nearly 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometres) beneath our feet, in the swirling, spinning ball of molten metal that forms Earth's core.

Changes in that underground flow can alter Earth's magnetic field lines - and the poles where they converge.

Consequently, magnetic north doesn't align with geographic north (the end point of Earth's rotational axis), and it's constantly on the move. Records of ancient magnetic fields from extremely old rocks show that the poles can even flip - an event that has occurred an average of three times every million years.


The first expedition to find magnetic north, in 1831, pinpointed it in the Canadian Arctic. By the time the US Army went looking for the pole in the late 1940s, it had shifted 250 miles (400 kilometres) to the northwest.

Since 1990, it has moved a whopping 600 miles (970 kilometres), and it can be found in the middle of the Arctic Ocean, 4 degrees south of geographic north - for the moment.

Curiously, the south magnetic pole hasn't mirrored the peregrinations of its northern counterpart. Since 1990, its location has remained relatively stable, off the coast of eastern Antarctica.

I am pretty sure the last paragraph means when North goes so far and south stays the same we get some serious doom.

Hapgood's data showed more frequent reversals but all the shifts were close to, but less than 30 degrees.

I can't recall her name but remember watching a study done in the Artic.
A female scientist was looking at rocks and soil and came upon some small bone fragments and collected them for further study.

In the lab the fragments tested as CAMEL.

What more proof do we need?

That is what I was thinking. It will push and push and then the south will flip accordingly, quickly.

Do you mind if I share your image on my twatter account?

No problem

Knowing nothing about any of this does this mean we are goingto die?

You got it Skip.

Just because the MAGNETIC pole is shifting doesn’t mean the actual poles will shift. If the earth actually flips we’re all dead. Historically the magnetic poles have flipped multiple times without any evidence of crust displacement. If the earth was close to flipping their should be sign of impending stresses. The number of earthquake over 6.0 are close to the yearly average. So DOOM is unlikely.

When I look at the predicted path of the magnetic north, it shows the movement slowing done. The distance after 2020 is much less. Where in the world do they get this. If it’s based on some theory of cause, what is it?

The angle of the earth in relation to the sun has been around 22.5 apparently forever--give or take a single degree. The magnetic poles have shifted possibly thousands of times--with zero effect on the actual angle of the earth to the sun.

Why would anyone believe that the earth would turn sideways is beyond me. The continents are going to slide 180 degrees?
Total bullshit. Perhaps this could be inserted into a flat earth thread.

1 star.

Now, if your primary concern regarding the possible coming magnetic pole shift was loss of access to GLP, well, I would share your concern. Even that is not a certain outcome. It is still not known exactly how long such a shift takes. Clearly, one day would cause more problems than if it took 800 years. I am not worried about it at this juncture.

With any luck...


Yep.

Noon Sat. Be there or be square.

How can anyone think that the slow movement of magnetic north closer to true North is somehow indicating some kind of "pole reversal"?

If you read what the government scientists thought the north magnetic pole would do in the 1940's and then look at what it is actually doing now...

They were 100% right so far.

will i have to get my compass recalibrated?

Any pilot or ship captain knows N and Magnetic N. Nothing new.

Zoom in and read the text from the first image. Then look at the map in the next image. The scientists from the Rand corporation nailed it. Can those two images be embedded so that the first one can be easily read?

If the scientists continue to be right, it won't be much longer now until the flip.

What happened? I could have gotten more sleep.

Just wait until 2021

A little late for that aren't you?

I'm waiting for the announcement from NOAA that their 2020 model is inaccurate and they will have to make an unscheduled update. They had to do that in February for the 2015 model. It couldn't wait until December because it was off by too much.

This is us on Tuesday when NOAA announces the new locations for the magnetic poles:



I need to get outside for a bit. I'll check back.

Is there talk in the book, about the actual "turn" of the point? Did they mention a duration? Your image showing where it was located in 2010, the arc inside that last circle makes you wonder... I grabbed all your images of the book, and re-posted them on my site as well to read and for safe keeping. Look under "Deeper Mysteries". Click the asterisk once there. :)

I would have made a new map for the magnetic south pole for 2025 but it isn't showing much predicted movement. It's still moving much slower than magnetic north.

The book said that magnetic north would "rapidly flip around" the Earth's geographical pole. No other time estimate was given that I found.

It is still moving very quickly and has just started its turn. We'll have to keep watching it.
