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

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!!!!!!!

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

Which direction in outer space is up?
