re: Historical polar motion... has fully ended

So not even 1 km of change per decade?
So over 5000 years we're looking at a 300 to 500 km shift in altitude max?
So Lake Charles would be looking at weather similar to Hot Springs Arkansas in 500 years?
So not exactly 'don't service your AC' type change over the next five centuries
Thanks for letting us know, we'll be ready

That’s not how any of this works

If you want this taken seriously (and I mean really seriously), here’s what would be required:
1. Persistence over 6–12 months
2. Agreement across:
• IERS C04
• Independent VLBI solutions
• LOD anomalies
3. A physical mechanism, not just curve-fitting
4. Error analysis showing this is not endpoint bias
5. Demonstration that previous Chandler collapses are qualitatively different

Now it’s time to slow the inference down to match the physics

He apparently showed his mathematical calculations. Yes, there are alternative viewpoints. It's either going to happen or not. We don't know right now. We should have a much clearer picture by June. If the data is an anamoly, stand down from red alert. Otherwise, get your earthly affairs in order because we're about to experience turbulence
Who the frick are these people supposed to be and why should I care about them?

Hey, listen OP.
I was just talking to some buddies the other day about a hike I did and how much shift there has been in magnetic north since the 70s and early 80s (based on an old topo map I had sent to me by one of my men, that he found from this thing we did in Latin America).
So when I got home, after crunching the numbers on the AT with an old SOCOM buddy of mine ... we did an overlay and then put the question to grok .... and it blew our minds. It has drifted about 750 miles from where it was on the old maps we were issued on that mission.
Then we called another one of our buddies, over in Atlanta, who had been a base commander up in Alaska, and presented him with the numbers and he told us he was aware that the drift was accelerating even back before he retired 10 years ago.
For any map readers who have ever relied on topo maps and had to put a compass on a map ... it's a dramatic thing to suddenly see and realize.
I don't see how it cannot be a potential catastrophe in the making ... but Grok says there's nothing to worry about any time soon. It's arching toward Siberia.

I can't believe I live in a time where I'd get to experience at least 10 apocalypses in 25 years.

quote:First off, the magnetic field generated in Earth's outer (molten fluid) core is caused by, not the cause of, coupling. "Coupling" itself is gravitational, not magnetic.
The rebuttal is Core-Mantle Decoupling. If the magnetic field fails, the crust and mantle become "free" from the core.
A shift in flow of Earth's molten outer core can cause a magnetic shift, and this has happened many times in Earth's history.
However, there is no scenario where the crust and/or mantle becomes “free” of the core in a physical sense, and as stated, there is no circumstance in which Earth meets any Dzhanibekov criterion, much less all of them.

It's just an acknowledgement of something that could happen based on data we currently have.

Well I'll be 65 next week. This better not frick around with my Gunsmoke or Bonanza episodes!

Interesting to theorize but it will be inconsequential.

How this is not common knowledge is an indictment of our educational system - HOWEVER the larger problem is the ease with which nonsense 'theories' such as this can find any support whatsoever.
Shows total ignorance wrt any aspect of how the universe works or the basics of logical reasoning.

If you are in America, and find some weird way to survive the oceanic flooding and violence that comes with that, move as far northeast as you can. Before that, only those that find themselves 5000ft above sea level have even a remote shot. Ground salinity from oceanic flooding will render farming useless for a couple years before rain has washed the grounds clean. Greenland is ideal for the new equator.

Lack of credibility opens the doors for folks to thumb their nose at basic physics (because all mainstream science is called to question) and instead make bank off of pseudointellectual fantasy. Sad.

So, what does this mean? What is the result of the polar shift? Don’t just leave us hanging, brah.
Posted on 1/3/26 at 9:13 am to BTROleMisser
Man is the causation for pole change. Man’s use of electronic devices has affected the magnetic fields of earth and created an existential threat. We must immediately ban cell phones, computers, and A/Cs. The tipping point will occur within 5 years. We must act NOW!
