also, i find it insulting that you question my understanding of one of the most basic laws of physics, the inverse square law of radiative emission.

i happen to also know quite well how Boyle's Law operates with regard to pressure and temperature, and this also has some play in the whole picture because stars have incredible atmospheric pressures and that's why they emit so much plasma.

I don't question your understanding of it. The proposed experiment was rhetorical to remind you or it. I think you aren't applying it in your logic. Gradients matter. You were talking about cause and effect, claiming that greater causes have greater effects even on small scales like earth. But that isn't true. Change requires an energy gradient. You can't sit in a boat in the middle of lake Meade and admire all the energy you have. It is useless. Yes there is a ton of energy there but it cannot create change with no gradient. You have to be local to the dam to do anything with it. Even a small stream with a foot high waterfall creates more change than being in the middle of the lake.

Likewise, over the vast distances of the galaxy, the potential energy difference from one side of the earth to the other, is miniscule. This is why our compass doesn't even register it. Yes the absolute energy is enormous but it cannot effect humans on anything like the scale of a refrigerator magnet falling off your fridge.

Super novas are a whole 'nother thing, very gradienty.

gradients, by which you mean the rate of pressure towards a change in orientation, which is not even really just a gradient because that's just a momentary measurement.

pressure matters a lot.

also, if the earth's magnetic field is so insignificant, explain why this planet has life on it and none of the others before the asteroid belt. oh yeah, because it's bigger and has a self-generated magnetic field caused by the rotational inertia of the mass, and the composition of its core which is primarily iron, with a little nickel and cobalt.

the crust is not made out of this kind of material. it's mostly silico-aluminates and where there is high densities of iron, it creates strong magnetic fields.

the pole shift phenomenon comes from the differential of magnetic alignments between the crust and the very heavy core which pretty much stays stable in its orientation relative to the rest of the cores of every celestial body in the galaxy. the crusts are light, in comparison, and if you understand that there is a strong, ambient magnetic field coming from the currrents in the plasma emitted by the galaxy, then you get it when i say "this field rotates every 6000 years and the crusts are prone to realignment with the ambient field because they are light and because of the increased currrent caused by the asymptotic curve of the "wavy" shape of the galactic current sheet.

anyway, i understand why it happens, and i can sit down and dig up dozens of references to back it up but ultimately, what really matters is this:

do you think if the signs are saying the field is rapidly flipping 90 degrees that we should consider where we are living on this planet if it can induce a slip of the crust to a new orientation?

i think, duh.

also, further to understand it, the sun is very close to us

it is emitting masses of plasma, sporadically, all the time, and over this plasma, a lot of electric current travels.

this current charges up our atmosphere and charges dust which causes condensation of water, water does not form droplets without a nucleus, and that is generally a tiny particle of dust covered in electrons.

the seismic activity and volcanic activity under our feet is also fed by this. most of the electrons that stimulate this activity come from the sun, and arc down via the earth's magnetic field into the polar regions, and then propagate across the rest of the planet. these currents cause piezo effects in the largely silicate based rock underneath us, as well as heating up the magma underneath.

when the earth's magnetic field is interfered with, by the galactic current sheet, it becomes weaker, more of that current goes down into the poles, and more of the current goes down through the L shells of the van allen belt and causes crazy weather, increased seismic and volcanic activity, and when the field collapses, the whole system becomes spastic, the enengy from the sun actually hits us, the magma interface of the crust boils and the crust wants to realign with the new orientation of the current sheet.

it takes a lot of words to describe it but in my mind it's pictures. that's why i also don't use "technically correct" words because i'm trying to transmit an image to you.
