2012: No Geomagnetic Reversal

universetoday.com — Apparently, on December 21st 2012, our planet will experience a powerful event. This time we're not talking about Planet X, Nibiru or a "killer" solar flare, this event will originate deep within the core of our planet, forcing a catastrophic change in our protective magnetic field. Not only will we notice a rapid reduction in magnetic field streng

  • adougy, on 10/04/2008, -29/+8yes, but probably the end of america
    • blast_flame, on 10/04/2008, -2/+5Wait two continents will be wiped out in 2012? What evidence do you have to support that!?
  • gsgdiggs, on 10/04/2008, -31/+11doesn't the Mayan calendar end in 2012...coincidence?
    • franklymister, on 10/04/2008, -3/+18RTFA
    • Hanklin67, on 10/04/2008, -8/+13Yea but the whole Mayan calender thing is just bull. We will not all die in 2012 because the Mayans were Amazon Indians who wore thongs an couldn't even predict their own death when the Europeans came over. Plus people have been predicting the end of the world since the beginning and how many have been right?
      • djholybolt, on 10/04/2008, -4/+10Actaully.. They were very accurate with dates. Their calander is the most accurate calander ever made. And the whole Europeans? they had a prophesy that a white man with a beard would come save them.. they thought the conquistadors were the white men with beards that the prophesy proclaimed.. so it sorta turned out the wrong way for them from there.
      • roebeet, on 10/04/2008, -1/+5Well... sooner or later, one of them will be (by sheer luck). Of course, they won't be around to tell you "I told you so!".
      • noumuon, on 10/04/2008, -3/+5"Their calander is the most accurate calander ever made." that's a loaded statement.
      • Aceman196, on 10/04/2008, -6/+2It was the most accurate calender ever mad before modern America. They could track moon cycles before anyone else. they tracked the moon so well their calculations are only off by 30 seconds of modern day calculations.
        So why is this statement loaded? Ohhh another digger who just felt like expressing their opinion based on nothing.
      • TheGuruStud, on 10/04/2008, -3/+4I think the Aztecs had the perfect calendar and most advanced astrological knowledge.

        But we'll never know much since the POS spanish thought there was gold there. Morons. You would've thought that they had learned from island hopping that the natives weren't lying when they said there wasn't any gold.

        And now, look at Mexico, a gigantic cesspool that was once home to the greatest city/civilzation in the world. No wonder the Arabs invaded Spain and NO ONE helped their asses. They were all a bunch of *****.
      • Lunarsight, on 10/04/2008, -0/+4@DJHoly - One theory on why they thought white men with beards were going to save them. Some think a few Vikings may have strayed down there in their travels.

        The Scandinavians were pretty impressive sailors - I wouldn't put it past them.



      • djholybolt, on 10/04/2008, -2/+2@ Lunarsight. The idea behind the prophesy was applied by spiritual adventures they went on with the help of some heavy psychotropic drugs mixed with chronology based off of the stars and planets. The white men came within a year of their estimation, but they got the prophesy wrong as far as the events that turned out.

        @nourmoun: That is not a loaded statement. It's a matter of fact. Why don't you do your homework or a quick google of the aztec calander before you go spouting your mouth off.
      • noumuon, on 10/06/2008, -0/+1@djholybolt

        i did do my homework. it's considered the most accurate calendar prior to modern times. "prior to modern times" being the key statement to negate the claim it's the most accurate calendar "ever made".
  • gravityPersists, on 10/04/2008, -9/+40Oh the humanity, all those broken compasses!
    • Troy64, on 10/04/2008, -1/+9Does that mean our toilets will flush backwards?
      • kakwakas, on 10/04/2008, -0/+15IT'S A ***** TORNADO!
      • Clbull, on 10/04/2008, -0/+7Dugg for making me laugh
      • TheSkunkMonkey, on 10/04/2008, -3/+4No.

        Toilets do no flush in different directions based on which hemisphere you are in. The Coriolis effect isn't strong enough to counter any induced force to start the water in a specific direction since it's such a small area/volume.

        The easiest way to see this demonstrated is using the old Fakir trick pulled on unsuspecting tourists in the vicinity of the Equator.

        Take a smooth and perfectly round bowl with a hole in the middle of the bottom. Place a cork in the hole then fill with water. Allow it to sit long enough so your convinced the water has stopped moving.

        Now, gently pick up the bowl and turn to your left to display the bowl to the tourists and pull the cork. The water will drain counter-clockwise.

        Repeat the same process, but on the "other side" of the Equator and when standing up to present the bowl to the tourists turn to the right to face them. Pull the cork and watch the water drain clockwise. MAGIC!

        Now before you bring up the fact that storms in the two hemispheres rotate in opposite directions, I would like to point out they cover a large amount of square miles allowing the effect to be great enough to control the spin.

        This concludes your Science lesson for today. I hope you took notes as we will be having a test tomorrow!

      • Troy64, on 10/04/2008, -0/+2@TheSkunkMonkey - It was just a joke. I don't actually believe the magnetic fields are switching on Dec. 21, 2012. The thought of toilets switching direction along with the magnetic poles was funny to me.

    "there is absolutely no scientific evidence supporting the claim that there could be a geomagnetic reversal around the time of December 21st, 2012.

    Should we experience geomagnetic reversal in our lifetimes (which we probably won't), it is unlikely that we'll be cooked alive by the Solar Wind, or be wiped out by cosmic rays. It is unlikely that we'll suffer any mass extinction event (after all, early man, ***** erectus, lived through the last geomagnetic shift, apparently with ease). We'll most likely experience aurorae at all latitudes whilst the dipolar magnetic field settles down to its new, reversed state, and there might be a small increase in energetic particles from space (remember, just because the magnetosphere is weakened, doesn't mean we wont have magnetic protection), but we'll still be protected by our thick atmosphere."

    • Kakcoo, on 10/04/2008, -0/+1I just noticed '*****' in '***** erectus' get censored without login in. Digg just figured out that's a bad word, or what?
    • brb1031, on 10/05/2008, -0/+1Okay, but how do we know "***** erectus, lived through the last geomagnetic shift, apparently with ease"... not the survived part, but the "With Ease" part.

      I mean, if it resulted in the death of, say, 1/5 the population, that would be a terrible event, but I wouldn't call it "Easy."
    • anthroEPIC, on 10/05/2008, -0/+1Good job! Somebody who knows a little about something! Actually, there is no evidence that Home Erectus experienced any noticeable population decline in response to a magnetic shift.

      • Darkaged, on 10/04/2008, -0/+1No, I'm not totally sure, but I think he means Mormons as they each get a planet or something after they die.
      • CrushThemTorg, on 10/05/2008, -0/+1One of their not-terribly-publicized beliefs is that God will grant a limited number of believers (144,000, all men, or something like that) godship over their own planet. I don't think spaceships are involved, since the concept wasn't really in the popular consciousness at the time the Mormon belief system was developed.

        Scientology's space DC-10s are from an their origin myth, which states that the evil Spacelord Xenu transported a large number of citizens from his overpopulated space empire to the planet Earth (Teegeeack), stacked them around volcanoes, then forced an eruption with hydrogen bombs, killing them all and forcing them to wander the mortal plane as Thetans.
    • jprewitt7, on 10/04/2008, -0/+1Actually Mormons believe that God lives on a planet somewhere out in space and that if we are good eventually we can be a god on our own planet.

    Of course, if people are expecting the end of the world, and the "northern lights" are visible throughout the world, who knows what those crazies will do...
  • jowSithm, on 10/04/2008, -11/+92The Mayan prophecy doesn't actually say that the world will end on dec 21, 2012, it says that the world AS WE KNOW IT will end. VERY BIG DIFFERENCE!!!! One of the things most people forget when quoting this prophecy is that the Mayans also believed that EVERY end is a new beginning. In this case the dawn of a new age. An age of peace and prosperity for those (and only those) who are capable of dealing with the change and shock of having everything they know change so rapidly in the days leading up to 2012. Dec 21, 2012 is the day when the critical mass of humanity wakes up and realizes that by ***** over other people, life forms and what not, you are only really ***** yourself over. If you're going to quote a prophecy, get it right!

    go ahead, Digg me down.

      • Cenobite, on 10/04/2008, -0/+17They didn't, but we were able to translate it.

        Sort of like getting a Linux binary driver to run on FreeBSD.
      • keraneuology, on 10/04/2008, -0/+4Um, who made the claim that they were?
    • theRealNyee, on 10/04/2008, -3/+16its just the end of the calender.. if we freaked out every year a calender ends we'd probably of killed ourselves already..
    • salomejones, on 10/04/2008, -2/+11Well said, but wrong. There is no Mayan "prophesy" about this. There is however, the Mayan calendar, which is not capable of producing dates AFTER the gregorian "december 21, 2012". This is not a prophesy, but instead imperfect calendar math.
      • anonysumo, on 10/04/2008, -2/+9The prophetic implications ascribed to the calendar result from the astronomical correspondence at the calendar's conclusion. The (gregorian) date of 12-21-2012 is when the Earth's winter solstice occurs in a direct line between the Earth and the galactic center. An extremely rare event, to which some will ascribe astrological significance.
      • macslut, on 10/04/2008, -2/+4True, it's not much different from the Y2K bug. A totally different issue, but the point of not having a system that would work beyond a point in time, but didn't mean they didn't think that a period of time beyond that wouldn't exist.

        That being said, they actually did predict that there could be an end of time. Unfortunately, this happened in 52 years, and again every 52 years. At that point they would all freak out and wait hoping that the gods would grant them another 52 years.
      • salomejones, on 10/04/2008, -0/+3@anonysumo: It was a solstice based calendar for obvious reasons: The solstice is the easiest repeating event to calculate with the most rudimentary tools, like a couple of sticks and a flat rock. Nearly all ancient calendars are solstice based and tend to make a very big deal out of both of them.

        And "the Earth's winter solstice occurs in a direct line between the earth and the galactic center" makes no sense. A solstice is not an object. The earth is in the same position relative to the sun and the center of the galaxy during every winter solstice, but that's just geometry.
      • Spire3660, on 10/04/2008, -1/+2Can you please cite a scientific source that says the earth will align exactly with the galactic center? Can you also explain how the mayans knew what a galactic center is?
      • raindogmx, on 10/04/2008, -0/+4I didn't know the Mayan calendar couldn't go further than 2012. In fact it can very well produce dates for any year yet to occur, it just has to start over after a long period but it is known that there are Mayan inscriptions with predictions for dates well ahead 2012 which also implies they didn't think the world would end.

        As wikipedia has it it is all New Age ***** though I still think the ending of a calendar of over 6,000 -is it?- years is a pretty big deal and we should drink to that.
    • databeast, on 10/04/2008, -2/+4Perhaps the first events leading to The Singularity in 2045?

      • HaoTian, on 10/04/2008, -1/+1And 2045 could be a conservative guess. It's already well under way.
    • r0b0, on 10/04/2008, -1/+11I'm fairly sure theres no prophecy about the world ending... The calendar ends, and people have interpreted it to be the world ending, or some sort of catastrophic event.
    • Tirako, on 10/04/2008, -1/+4I did some research and I found out that the Mayan Calendar just ends on December 21, 2012. And it's not the end of the friggin' world. The Mayans calculated their calendar with 2152 years for each zodiac sign (12), and after a 26'000 year cycle, it all starts over again, since Mayans believed that every end was a new beginning.
    • noumuon, on 10/04/2008, -2/+3"it says that the world AS WE KNOW IT will end." no it doesn't. it's a calendar. it doesn't say anything. there is not a prophecy.

      • jowSithm, on 10/04/2008, -1/+1No, not everyone will come to the same conclusion at the exact same time, but that BY that time there will be a critical number of people who have this understanding within their sphere of knowledge. Enough to pull the rest over the hump. (so to speak). It's like the hundredth monkey theory. It is already happening. People ARE waking up. To quote Carl 'Billions and Billions' Sagan: "The old appeals to racial, sexual, and religious chauvinism, to rabid nationalist fervor are beginning not to work. A new consciousness is developing which sees the earth as a single organism, and recognizes that an organism at war with itself is doomed."

  • gabsterella, on 10/04/2008, -4/+3I have heard of this before.... even though there is no scientific evidence, there are some odd observations- like a second north pole forming in the middle of the pacific ocean. I don't know if all the horrible things described in the article are plausible, but it is very likely that there will be an increase in cancer, because the cosmic rays (which are like high energy x-rays) will not be hooked and sent back into space by the weakening magnetic field for a short period of time. My college physics prof also speculates that this might be causing global waring as well.
    • keraneuology, on 10/04/2008, -0/+1The nifty thing is that the heliosphere deflects about 90% of the cosmic rays zipping in from around the galaxy and beyond - the solar wind that creates and maintains the heliosphere. A weakened earth's magnetic field at the same time as a weakened heliosphere = not good.

    Just because they can have an accurate calendar it doesn't mean they can accurately predict astronomical or geological events that have never happened before in recorded history of man and no evidence of it ever happening recently for them to have known about it.

    Stupidity preys upon the ignorant.
    • Saulidus, on 10/04/2008, -0/+10Wrong. They were Mayans not Aztecs and the calender doesn't stop it just starts over from the very beginning, like a clock. Maybe next time you'll learn to have actual knowledge on whatever crap you're spewing.

  • Dzerzhinsky, on 10/04/2008, -1/+8I had to stop reading at this line "Without GPS, our airliners will also plough into the ground… "
  • glberns, on 10/04/2008, -1/+2This isn't anything new. We have known for decades that the magnetic poles change position. It is kinda like plate tectonics, it is always moving, just very very slowly. The poles will not just suddenly change one day I wish i could read the article, but...

    This is nothing to worry about, nothing will happen, its even less threatening than Y2K. It is kinda interesting though, right? The magnetic poles are not fixed but move around with time. yeah, eventually the north pole will be where the south pole is and vice versa.

    also, does the comment box flip out when you go past a certain point? i got to like 5 lines and it started jumping up and down whenever i type. And when I went onto the second line, the text on the second line started jumping back to the first line when i type as well. Is this normal, or is my computer possessed?
    • patm1987, on 10/04/2008, -0/+1It seems to be perfectly normal (in my experience) when using Chrome or Opera, though not with Firefox or IE. I figure it's what I get for using non-standard browsers.

  • jbond, on 10/04/2008, -5/+6Terence McKenna was spreading a theory that the novelty curve went vertical Dec 21, 2012. This may have had something to do with the heroic quantities of Ayahuesca he had been exploring. Robert Wilson developed this into the Jumping Jesus theory. But as usual with RAW he had his tongue firmly in his mouth. Regardless of all this the rate of novelty production is still increasing exponentially. And I don't see it stopping before the majority of China+India is what we would call middle class, post-industrial knowledge workers and/or Moore's law (and the others) hit some fundamental barriers. Will it be pollution or lack of resources that slows us down first?
    • cjshamrock, on 10/04/2008, -0/+2Who knows. I like McKenna, but the way he died really freaked me out.

    • beautifulleper, on 10/05/2008, -0/+0Why didn't this article mention that maybe when the earth enters the galactic plane, that the magnetic polls might shift? When are we supposed to enter the galactic plane again? Does anyone know? If someone can answer that, maybe we will have a theoretical doomsday event date.
  • Wawin, on 10/04/2008, -3/+2It amazes me that there are always people willing to believe that the world WILL IN NO DOUBT END within their lifetime. It reminds me of y2k, and the nostradamus "predictions", after 2012 passes there will be another "prophecy"
  • chrissku, on 10/04/2008, -1/+9Mirror?
  • sndream, on 10/04/2008, -3/+4A law should be passed and send those make doomsday prediction that failed to happen should be at least get a few punch on their face

    Anyone want to make bets that 2012 will make it 9327492374934793479348?
    • Xaviermgk, on 10/04/2008, -1/+6Alright, good sir, I'll take your bet, if you give me 9327492374934793479348:1 odds...And I shall bet one whole penny. It's worth even more than that in copper if you win!
