Too bad they didn't call their album "2012"

I think most of us have discounted the year of the end, and are speculating what could cause it. Rather morbid, but also fun.

Their album could have been top seller, if they would have called it "2012" (2 birds with one shot!).

It has long been known that the Earth's magnetic poles shift and sometimes reverse (as metal bearing magma exudes from plate fractures and cools, the iron is magnetized by the magnetic forces; when the poles shift or reverse, it can be detected.) Prior to a pole shift the strength of the magnetic field that surrounds the earth lessens, goes to zero then strengthens. In geologic time, the change is a blink of the eye but in human terms, it is actually hundreds of years. Right now the magnetic field acts as a protective field that keeps much of the solar ratiation away from us (ie the Van Allen Radiation Belt - also often visible as the Aurora Boriales). Studies indicate that we appear to be entering an era of lessening The years without any magnetic protection may not sterilize the earth but we would all have the same tan

Here is a pointer to the NOVA show on the subject:

God has no bearing on this matter becasue there is no proof he exists.
A room without books is like a body without a soul.
Facts are meaningless. They can be used to prove anything that is even remotely true.
Go then, there are other worlds than these.

Well, even if it did, it would be irrelevant - so you needn't be sorry.
