Welcome to part five of our end of the world series
The only reason life exists on this planet
is because of the earths precise axis to the sun
and its protected magnetic field
that shields us from cosmic radiation
if any of that changed
all life would quickly end
but how likely is that they happen?
well...its happened before
every three hundred thousand years or so
the earth's magnetic poles reverses themselves
north becomes south - south becomes north
this wreaks great havoc including momentarily weakening or wiping out
that protective magnetic shield
unfortunately the last time the poll shifted was
eight hundred thousand years
that means we are long overdue for such an event to happen again
and what about the axis of earth?
surely that doesn't ever change
well but it actually has and just recently
the japan earthquake shifted the earth's axis by six inches
and shorten the typical day by about to microseconds
wouldn't take much to tip us even more
wiping out all life
and with the magnetic field already weakening
practice time to invest in sunscreen
preferably SPF ten million
We can't know what the next polar shift will occur
but we can prepare for some disaster
earthquakes are common occurrence around the world
are you reading?
check with your local preparedness organization for specific
instructions on what to do in case of an earthquake - Stop by Facebook and tell me
how do you think the world will end?
I'll be reading your posts and commenting myself
Until next week Stay curious
