I am a fully self labeled as a bit of a geek and get into some scientific things that are not exactly mainstream. Has anyone else looked at any articles concerning the apparent fact that the magnetic field of our Mother Earth is in flux and in the process of a possible full reversal of the magnetic field? This has happened in the past and is considered a possible extinction level level event.
So how do we know it has happened before? Deep earth lava flows. When lava cools the molecules align according to the poles of the magnetic field. At different core drilling depths the lava flow layers switch magnetic orientation. This is pretty much accepted as having to have been caused by a reversal of the Earth's magnetic field. While not at all proven some high level researchers believe that one of these reversals may have actually taken out the dinosaurs, not an asteroid hit. The increase of radiations would also cause more rapid mutation such as some flying reptiles eventually becoming birds. After all it has been shown and proven that a feather is nothing more than fuzzy scales.
So why should we be concerned? In our lifespan there is no impact at all but, as the magnetic field degrades, the protection from the radiation put out by out sun lessens. Most common projection of the magnetic field reaching zero is around 500 years but we would likely be extinct well before that. First, as the protection lessens, there would be an extreme increase of skin and other cancers but the main issue is that as the protection goes away the Earth would basically become a planet sized microwave oven and just cook us.
OK, enough on depressing stuff. Personally I think, when considering the advancements made in the last 100 years, I believe that we will have the ability to artificially mimic the protection. Mayhaps polar orbiting satellites that are basically huge electronic magnets to mimic the natural protection.
I sort of expect to be put down on this but can supply scientific studies to counter if needed
