3) The third link is about the potential effect of the weakening of the Earth's magnetic field on just about everything, including us. That may VERY well be a thing, and quite a big thing too, and the truth is that we just don't know for sure.
But there are good reasons so suspect there may be effects, subtle or otherwise, on all living things. And on the climate as well, because a weakening Earth's magnetic field means more cosmic rays penetrating the atmosphere, which in turn means more cloud cover, which means more sunlight reflecting off the clouds, meaning more cooling. (NOT warming!) The weakening (or even total disappearance) of that 'shield' could create all kinds of serious havoc at ground level.
And when it reverses completely, which is absolutely going to occur (but no-one knows when), anything at all might happen. I'd take all good research about this seriously, including evidence from ice core and tree-ring samples, etc.
It's an area of concern to all geophysicists, and there's a lot of work being done on this right now. We should all stay informed, as it will affect us all. But the reversal might happen in 10 years' time, or 1000. And it might be sudden, or gradual. Right now, as best I understand, we just don't know.
Bill, do you give any credence to the theory of crustal displacement?
Hannes Alfvén discovered MHD, (which fits very nicely into the Electric Universe theory if I'm not mistaken).
In The Adam and Eve Story: The History of Cataclysms by Chan Thomas posted elsewhere on the forum, (quite recently I think), he joins a lot of dots to my mind. However I'm neither mathematician nor scientist, akin to a blind man making a jigsaw where 10% of the pieces are exactly the same shape. I'm going to fit it together eventually but I have no idea if the picture makes any sense.
He (Chan Thomas) claimed, amongst many other things, that the weakening of the magnetic field would be felt by all (but not understood) leading to chaos - madness and violence. Totally believable in my opinion.
He considered that the breakdown of MHD in the loss of a magnetic field would allow the magma layer of the earth to lose its plastic state and act more liquid, with the enormous pressures and heat that would release on the layer of rock above - that bit we live on - would become free to move. To me it explains the retrograde action of the moon recorded in stone at Tiahuanaco (sp?) and the 24 hrs of darkness reported elsewhere in ancient records, the tropical vegetation under the antarctic etc. etc.
The vast bodies of water however would continue to move with the same kinetic energy ever present in them. Cue vast inundations and utter chaos as magma boils up to the surface in various rents and a mile high tidal wave sweeps across much of the land. Such a catastrophic event could even lead to our entire atmosphere being temporarily lost, (surmising that for myself - but could explain the speed at which the Siberian mammoth with buttercups in its stomach was frozen so impossibly fast).
What's more incredible is that anyone survived at all but regardless, Charles Hapgood and Piri Reis may have been on to something?
