What is the rationale behind the future "Earth Coup"?

Researchers from the United States report that the north magnetic pole of the Earth is shifting to Russia, or rather, to Taimyr. Its arrival on the peninsula is expected in 30-40 years. Siberians can be envied: the polar lights will become an ordinary sight for them.

But if the matter was limited to only a slight drift of the magnetic pole, then this news would have remained in the heading "and now about the weather." However, the predictions of scientists are staggering: some of them speak not only of a shift in magnetic poles, but also of a change in geographic poles. That is, about the upcoming revolution of the Earth!

Summons Taimyr

There are reports of strange bird behavior from different regions of the planet. Observers have the feeling that, huddled in flocks, the birds do not know where to fly. As you know, birds are guided by the lines of force of the Earth's magnetic field. The conclusion of scientists: the geomagnetic field is undergoing some changes.

In principle, the magnetic poles are never exactly fixed points. The liquid metal core of the Earth is constantly moving. It is this that forms the planet's magnetic field, which, by the way, protects us from cosmic radiation. Throughout the 20th century, the north magnetic pole was located in the area of the Canadian archipelago, shifting by about 10 km per year towards the geographic pole. Now the speed of its drift has increased to 50 km per year. Simple calculations show that if it goes on like this, by the middle of the century the magnetic pole will cross the Arctic Ocean and reach the Severnaya Zemlya archipelago. And there it is not far from Taimyr.

The South Pole does not stand still either. It turns out that he seeks to swap places with the northern one. For 4.5 billion years of the planet's existence, this has happened more than once. In the language of geophysics, the process is called magnetic field inversion. This is a rare phenomenon, humanity has never seen it in its entire history. It is assumed that the last time the inversion was 780 thousand years ago, and the species homo sapiens formed about 200 thousand years ago.

Scientists learned about previous reversals of the magnetic field by examining solidified volcanic lava. As it turned out, at the moment of solidification, it retains its magnetization, that is, it allows you to establish the direction and magnitude of the magnetic field. Basically, lava is made up of tiny little magnets that indicate where north and south are. As it turned out, lava layers with different magnetization alternate, replacing each other.

Most researchers believe that the process of changing magnetic poles stretches for millennia. And the North Pole will reach Antarctica not earlier than in 2 thousand years. But when the planet's magnetic shield weakens (and at some point this will happen), humanity will face the threat of solar radiation. In addition to the obvious harm to health, electromagnetic radiation will lead to malfunctions of navigation equipment and communication systems.

Dzhanibekov effect

June 25, 1985 Soviet cosmonaut Vladimir Dzhanibekovunpacked the cargo delivered from the Earth at the Salyut-7 orbital station. Sharply twisting the wing nut, he watched as it left the thread and, spinning, floated in weightlessness. After a dozen or two centimeters, the nut suddenly turned 180 degrees and began to rotate in the other direction.

Dzhanibekov was impressed. He conducted his own experiment: he blinded a ball out of plasticine, shifting its center of gravity using a weight (the same nut). Moving in weightlessness, the ball turned over several times and changed the direction of rotation.

This unstable behavior of an asymmetric body was later called the Dzhanibekov effect. In principle, it is described by the laws of classical mechanics and does not represent any secret for physicists. But let's imagine that the plasticine ball is a model of our planet, which rushes in outer space, revolving around its axis. Can she roll over?

Here the objection is appropriate: the Earth has an almost ideal spherical shape, perhaps slightly flattened at the poles. There is no question of any asymmetry of the celestial body. It's right. But it is true only as far as the external appearance of our planet is concerned. But what's inside her?

It's hard to believe, but modern science has a very vague idea of how the bowels of the Earth look at a depth of over 3000 km. There are only theoretical models and hypotheses based on indirect data.

Somersault in space

“The core of the Earth is constantly emitting neutrons from itself, which are converted into hydrogen. It actively interacts with the environment, launching a whole chain of substance transformations, says Igor Belozerov. - This phenomenon is called hydrogen degassing of the Earth. But in relation to the Dzhanibekov effect, something else is important. According to the theory, the core of our planet is much denser than its periphery. Denser by several orders of magnitude. And the gravity of the Earth is created precisely by its core: the rest of the planet's mass can be neglected. And here the main question arises: what is the shape of the nucleus? If it is strictly spherical, that is one thing. And if it is incorrect, asymmetrical? Then there is an imbalance in the core, which can lead to the Dzhanibekov effect: the overturn of the planet."

If you believe the data of satellites measuring the Earth's gravitational field, it is really heterogeneous: somewhere the force of gravity is higher, somewhere - lower. This means that the planet's core is not a perfect ball. And it also means that the third celestial body from the Sun, our cradle of life, where the number of homo sapiens has reached 7.6 billion individuals, at any moment can simply turn over in space. Roll.

And this scenario will be worse than a collision with some asteroid. After all, from such a somersault, the entire World Ocean will be set in motion.

You've heard of the Flood, haven't you?
