@B19Dav3 Care to elaborate?

[B19Dav3]

However it is mainly hippy nonsense :P

@Baldurthegood Polar shift is still a hypothesis and is yet to be proven by science (unlike polar wandering and geomagnetic switching). However possible causes could be due to mass redistributions in the mantle and core surface (which is a relatively unknown frontier), or large mass transfers on the surface such as ice sheets suddenly melting.

LoL @ 32:50

Dragon breathing green fire at 2:35 lol

Please respond: All hippy nonsense aside; how does a polar shift take place? I understand that the formation of this 'bubble core' is due to the direction of the rotational axis. Our poles on earth are similarly situated at the axis of our rotation. How would you change the poles without changing the rotational axis?? Did the earth have a strange rotational axis like uranus in the past?

7 people think we never went to space

Looks like an eagle breathing green fire.

@simshiver No one spent millions to produce this video. It did cost millions to put the crew aboard the ISS, but it would've cost just as much even if they never made this video. They do quite a bit more on orbit than this. Also, this video isn't altogether gratuitous. I hate to think we'd spend all that cash to send them up only for them to ignore the opportunity to explore. That is, after all, exactly what the ISS is for.

@madJedi1 I must be the one who's dreaming: you actually think the Space Program costs trillions. Not even one trillion [dollars] have been spent on space exploration by the U.S. since the onset of space travel. Also please take note that the experiments in this video aren't all they spend their time doing aboard the Space Station. They have plenty of real work to do. This stuff was done in their spare time.
