Re: Re: Re: Pole Shift

The reversal of geomagnetic polarity doesn't affect the physical mass of the Earth. Such shifts have been mapped by scientists over millions of years.

The "pole shifts" the anomalists are talking about seem to involve an actual shift of the spin axis, which makes little sense.

If you look at the timeline in the Wiki entry I linked to (below), there doesn't seem to be a consistent pattern of geomagnetic reversals, and the shifts seem to happen almost at random intervals.

I'm no expert on the subject, but it looks like we're overdue for one!
