The Earths magnetic field, the protector of all life on Earth is under constant attack from deadly cosmic radiation. This invisible shield that we live in is weakening in a region over the South Atlantic, leaving it exposed to potentially lethal radiation. Is the Earth losing its magnetic field and doomed to a fate similar to Mars? Many scientists believe the answer lies in paleomagnetic data, and that this weakening may be a precursor to a magnetic field reversal; scientists know Earth is long overdue. However, humans were not around when the last reversal took place, so what does this mean for life?

  • @orange70383 Is it because the earth's core is cooling and the sun is always hot? Just tell man, none of this guessing bs. I'm really trying to figure some stuff out and you not telling me the answer is making it worse. I "thought" but how will I know if I'm right. So tell.

  • @orange70383 I am intrigued by your vagueness ... any chance of some elaborations?

  • Our magnetic field is weakening fast. There is a way to prove this by anyone without a thought in less than a second. I'll tell you the answer but because people are so mind controlled and have lost the abilty of free thinking they are trapped in a corner of ignorance. The answer is the sun. Do you get it? No well here's more. What is different about the sun and why is it different. That is your answer to several things going on at many different levels today. Still don't get it huh. Wow think

  • there is no such thing as north and south poles.. there is only clockwise and counter clockwise. that is why we have the left hand rule, and that is why the dynamo effect is created by spinning clockwise and counter clockwise (with a heated metal core).
