The Earths Core Has Reversed Its Spin

I got my compass out and it still points to north.

Reminds me of a true story in my life. My wife has been a textile artist and teacher. A few times she has taught a week or two week workshop for Haystack Mountain School of Crafts on Deer Isle, Maine. I’ve gone with her and had a great time but always brought my own summer planning to do for school. After I retired I put her up to doing it again so I could take a ceramics workshop.

She was a good sport and took that all on again but the ceramics course wouldn’t involve throwing pieces on a wheel. Instead directions for what to bring included a compass. I knew they meant the kind you pictured here but you’d be surprised how many brought the other kind.

As a reward for helping the others find their way around a drafting compass everyone was eager to help me to also learn how to throw pottery on a wheel. So mixing them up happens.
 

I wonder if the Core, molten iron mostly is heavier Mass / Gravity / Magnetism / and their relationship is more powerful than the rest of the stuff here. You know a ball of Iron forming after the mass blowing out of a huge star at Nova makes stuff happen ?

Lots of Volcanic activity and Earth warming too. On a clear day it will seem like Beijing China, afternoons.
I saw yesterday the EV revolution is actually making the heat up worser not lesser. The Count goes up.

How is the EV warming the earth? Seeing as how it isn't emitting any carbon or methane.....? That requires an explanation.

Did a little searching and discovered a more complete explanation of that sort of statement you made. Can Electric Vehicles Save the Planet? - University of Toronto Magazine

According to the article from the University of Toronto, in order to keep to less than a 2 degree rise of temperature, every car would have to be an EV by 2035. In the US, that's replacement of about 350 million vehicles today. That's going to require a massive growth in electricity production and IF COAL OR GAS are still being used by that time, then yes, EV's will still be adding to the rising temperature (although it will be a lot less than simply burning gas for fuel). So to just comment that 'the EV revolution is actually making the heat worse...' is not telling the whole story. Context in every news story is important.

An "EV" is really an "RCV" Remote Combustion Vehicle, putting the power generation into somebody else's back yard. Then add in the inefficiencies in power transmission, battery charging, and finally use after self-discharge depletion... it burns more fossil fuel than a gasoline engine. All while releasing plenty of waste heat into the environment at each stage to boot!

Unless one has solar panels on the roof. And even in your scenario, according to studies, an EV is still emitting half as much as the average ICE vehicle. So I guess it's a case of 'don't let PERFECT be the enemy of good'. In other words, it's not 100% perfect, but it's better than the alternative of not changing how cars are powered.

Quantum energy is coming.
 
Wait until the magnetic poles flip and reverse themselves. That will be fun.

Everything will work in reverse. :)

When north goes south: Is Earth's magnetic field flipping?

“Something odd is happening to Earth’s magnetic field. Over the last 200 years, it’s been slowly weakening and shifting its magnetic north pole (where a compass points, not to be confused with the geographic north pole) from the Canadian Arctic toward Siberia. In recent decades, however, that slow shift south has quickened — reaching speeds upwards of 30 miles per year (48 kilometers per year). Could we be on the brink of a geomagnetic reversal, in which the magnetic north and south poles swap places?”

Reading all the way to the end of the link we get this:

"No need to worry.

The core will never stop spinning, as long as we're travelling around the Sun. Plus, any talk of the core spinning backwards is only when you look at all this from the perspective of standing in one location on the surface of the planet.

The worst that can happen is that we see the length of our day increase by a tiny amount."

I did learn that the core is made up of iron and nickel which I'm allergic to, so that explained this itchy feeling.

I have read that this has happened many times in the past. I've also read that Mars used to have a spinning molten core --a magnetic field and therefore an atmosphere. I don't know whether these are mere conjecture or can be proven.
