 Hello, hello, Mario's back today with a new video! I hope you are happy, strong and healthy. Today I'd like to talk about the magnetic pole. The way the magnetic pole is moving and wandering around makes a lot of people worrying about a possible pole flip. And I'd like to talk about the possibility that such a pole flip could occur. And how serious this is, of course. Should we be worried about terrible events and catastrophes? What many of you might know is this map of the North Pole. And you'll see in deep purple, in deep purple you'll see the pole starts to run sort of dark pink and then you'll see 1904, 1994, 2007 and the green dot where it is supposed to be now. And this galloping of the North Pole lately has worried a lot of people. Navigation systems had to be adjusted because of these large movements. That's not something new that navigation systems have to be adapted to changes of the magnetic pole movements. So you see from somewhere around 1994 the magnetic pole starts to run and then from 2001 it starts to run and keeps on running until 2007 and then it starts to run slower. On this map you see this clearly as well. Magnetic polar movement is slowing down. So that is a sign of calming down of the movements. I would like to take you to this map. This is a scientific research done by two guys with a difficult name. I always have to look it up. They are called McElhinney and McFadden and this is a research done in 2000. Very well done research. So this is my basis of the pole movements over the last 4,000 years. Why do I show this map? Because this is, let's say, the zone in which the magnetic pole has moved and will move in the future as well. But when magnetic pole movements start to walk outside of these boundaries we really need to be worried. Only then you need to be worried. But because it is still within this area, our current pole position, I would say and it is also slowing down, I wouldn't be so worried. It's just the natural movements of the magnetic pole. Nothing special. And I now take you to Antarctica. The same is visible here in blue. It's starting position of the magnetic pole around the year 1600. Then it slowly moves to purple, to dark pink, to orange and to the green dot where the pole is now. Somewhere around 2000, the movement is making a turn. There is no research done to the magnetic south pole by McElhinney and McFadden. So I have no data on this but I suspect it is approximately the same. So what I mean with the same is that current magnetic pole movements is still within historical boundaries. Somewhere around mid-90s pole starts to make a bend and I suspect it will start to bend within a few years again. So it might return back to the Antarctic continent. But if I look at this what we saw at north pole, we saw the walking of the north pole, magnetic north pole and then the running of the magnetic pole to north pole and then suddenly it started to slow down. But it is not what we see on the south pole. It started to run somewhere in the mid-90s and it is still running today. So I cannot say with certainty what this means. I suspect it will slow down. Should we be worried about upcoming magnetic pole shift? As you might know our research is mainly about crustal deformations and subsequent geographic pole shifts. But this is of course about a magnetic pole shift. I have plotted all positions of the magnetic north pole from 1900 up to 2020. The distance over which the magnetic north pole moved between 1995 to 2000 is around 150 miles. Then it started to run even faster from 2000 to 2005 about 175 miles. But then it's at least started to slow down from 2010 to 2015. It is only 135 miles between 2015 and 2020 only 130 miles. So this movement of the magnetic pole is slowing down and that is a sign of possible bend or change in direction back to Canada. So it might make a bend very soon. For this data I use the website of the Kyoto University. They have a very good website with clear positions of the magnetic north and south pole. They have very good data on the magnetic field strength which is declining. Another thing that is worrying a lot of people is the decline in magnetic field strength. It would be strange if the magnetic field strength would be exactly the same over the years. So it is climbing and it is falling down again. So it's like a sinus. Everything vibrates. Everything changes. So the magnetic field strength as well is logical. It doesn't mean it will drop immediately to zero and we need to dig shelters and prepare ourselves. And another thing is that many theorists who say magnetic field flips every 12,000 years or so. Do not base their ideas on scientific data. But there is a lot of controversy in polymagnetism. So between the geologists themselves there is a lot of controversy. When exactly did the last pole flip occur? One of the best books about polymagnetism is written by Robert F. Butler in 2004. It is not easy to read. But if you manage to work your way through this book and try to understand what he is saying it will become more clear what it actually means this magnetic pole flip and movements over the history of the earth. Because he is very clear about one thing. There is not common ground among geologists about the last pole flip. There is even not common ground about the leached pole flip some 720,000 years ago. But there are also geologists who say no there is a lot of contradictory data still in this data set. So we do not agree with this 720,000 years ago. So there is no unanimous agreement among the scientists. This book of Robert F. Butler is called Magnetic Domains to Geologic Terrain. And he is from the University of Portland. If you carefully read it you will understand what enormous errors are built up in this terrain. Because it goes from chemical discipline to a mathematical terrain. But on the way from all these steps from alignment of magnetized rock along the collection of all this data to a point cloud of data towards suspected former pole position. It is a long way full of controversy and errors. It is certainly not a done deal that there is such a thing as a pole flip or there is such a thing as polar flips over the last million years. It is certainly not a done deal. And if you read this book of Butler with one thing in mind if you look at the isochrons of the ocean floor you will see that this map of isochrons of the ocean floor shows how once South America and Africa fitted together. But if you look at the other side in the Pacific you also must do the same thing. And if you do this you will find out that the earth was much smaller than today. This is the only clear conclusion you can draw. Because the growing earth, the expanding earth is a fact. But if you neglect this fact when examining magnetic data you will find out that this influences the polar movements the alleged magnetic polar movements. So if you take a whole other road okay I accept that the earth has expanded and if you look then to all the data of the magnetic rock you will find out that the pole has never flipped over. You will find out that this pole flip movements result in a totally different pattern than if you totally neglect the expanding earth. But it is such a complicated terrain that we are now trying to make a model of this all together but it is terribly difficult. Let's go back to the initial question. Will there be a pole flip? I think no. We will not see this process of pole flipping happening in our lifetime and maybe it will never happen. But the expanding earth and the migrating geographic north pole is a fact. The next expansion cycle and the next north pole migration cycle might be coming in a few thousand years. We should be worried about other things really like political instability and our behavior as humans in our natural environment make a better world for not only us, ourselves but also for our children and the animals and the plants that live on this world as well. No panic for pole shifts. You will see that this polar movement will be in an area where it always has been because the core that creates this magnetic field is much, much heavier than the crust. The crust is just one percent of the weight of the whole earth and this core that creates this magnetic field is many, many times heavier. So there is no reason to suspect there will be immense flips and changes or even a reverse in rotation of the earth as some theorists believe. Don't worry. Be happy. Take care of your direct environment. Take care of the world. Take care of other people. Be kind. Be loving. Thank you and bye-bye.
