OK. Fields decay with 1/r^2 ... so ... 1/light-squared-years is very very small.

The earth's magnetic field is constantly in shift. It's flipped completely many times in the past.
It is indeed predicted that we're due another flip, and the magnetic field does seem to be weakening in places, indicating a pre-flip condition coming about.
But AFAIK there's no way to predict when it's going to happen, certainly nothing as accurate as a specific period in a specific year.
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
