ELE?

the problem with a pole shift in modern times is that we rely on computers for food/transportation, and a pole shift could screw them up. america for example would be crippled without our electronics, millions would die.

The magnetic poles moving isn't massively affecting our computers. And since it takes 7,000 years for the magnetic poles to reverse, millions won't die as a result of this.

From Wikipedia:

Studies of lava flows on Steens Mountain, Oregon, indicate that the magnetic field could have shifted at a rate of up to 6 degrees per day at some time in Earth's history, which significantly challenges the popular understanding of how the Earth's magnetic field works.


Lets see, 180/6= 30... So at that rate, a 180 degree flip of the magnetic poles would take 30 days! (1 Month)

Meaning, it must acclerate quite a bit at some point, which seems to be happening now.

Interesting. Sounds like now, how its shifting so quickly.

And still, they have been unable to explain the cause of magnetic pole shifts.

Anyone have any theories?


Obviously its God, sending us signals that everything in revelations which was written hundreds of years after the death of Jesus Christ by banished priest in exile is true.

I am greatly disappointed to read some of the posts in this thread. It doesn't appear anyone in this community has any notions of actual science.

So it's possible that at some point in Earth's history it moved faster. However, ON AVERAGE it takes 7,000 years for the poles to reverse.

Sorry if it's not as scientific as Wikipedia

edit: and shifting 6 degrees per day doesn't mean it constantly moves 6 degrees in the same direction every one of those days. It very well could have shifted down 6 then back up 6, or any other possible orientation.

They were saying the 21st of May. There are road signs about it here in BC, Canada too. I don't understand how they can afford to put up these giant billboards all over the world.

The signs say: "Joy to the World, the LORD is coming, May 21, 2011"

Did you guys see these in your neighborhood?


lmao that's pretty ridiculous.
