If the poles flip, will that make me a Yankee? Is my Southern heritage at
risk? Will I need to turn my tin foil hat inside out? :)

A bit of mental masturbation to think of all the consequences of day to day
life if the magnetic poles once again flip... I did in fact do a bit of
eyeball rolling during the espousing of some of the theories.

Actually the program revealed through closer analysis that the earth

Much could be said of the standard halfwave antenna within/without the
near/far field regions.

w4jle,
Funny you should mentiuon the 'tin' hat, just got
in a shipment of 'bipolar' tin hats. On sale soon!

Remember, the thing near the Earth's north geo pole _already is_ a _South_
magnetic pole. So it already happened and nobody even noticed!

If I am not mistaken, the sun's magnetic poles reverse every 11 or 22 years.
The fact that the earth's magnetic poles have not reversed during human
history is only because of the meager time that humans have existed. But
it will be interesting to see all the compasses pointing South.

That's it!! It has been proven!

THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN

Yea, but the South of a magnet is based on the earth's south/north
relationship, so if earth's magnet field flips, the magnet label would also
flip to maintain uniformity since any reference is relative anyway: thus the
south will never rise again...

Besides the dip-gyrocompass is used for modern navigation and works off of
the center of the earth's rotation because the magnetic center is off. Thus
if earth's magnetic field reverses, there will be little if any effect on
"TRUE" north or south, GPS or navigation except for birds, insects and so
on. And they will adapt quickly too. Again, the south will never rise
again....

So there!!!!!!!

Are you saying the same force that causes the poles to flip will come to my
house and relabel my compass?

True. Magnets have 2 poles called north and south in reference to the
direction they seek on the earth. Like poles repel and unlike poles
attract.

Earth`s magnetic field produces an electron and ion flow which protects
Earth from the solar wind, turns aside charged cosmic rays, and causes
auroras. A magnetosphere turns with the rotation of the planet.

The earth`s magnetic poles don`t agree exactly with its geographic poles
on its axis of rotation. The magnetic poles slowly circle about the
geographic poles by about 0.04-degrees of longitude per year. About
every 100,000 years the Earth`s magnetic field reverses, interchanging
north and south magnetic poles.

So, if the earth keeps on turning as it always has, the magnetic
polarities will continue their reversals as throughout history when man
did not exist or was too primative to record such events.
