According to scientists' calculations, the last reversal of the Earth's magnetic field occurred 780,000 years ago. However, how often does this phenomenon occur? The intervals can vary, ranging from tens of thousands to tens of millions of years. Roughly speaking, it can happen at any moment or not happen at all.
The process of pole reversal itself, according to scientists' estimates, is also not quick. It can take from a few hundred to several thousand years.
What are the dangers of magnetic pole reversal?
Scientists have studied the Laschamp event, which occurred approximately 41,400 years ago. It was not a full reversal but rather a brief change in the magnetic field. As a result of the reversal, Northern Europe and Northeast Asia experienced warming, while North America cooled.
Due to the migration of the poles, the Earth's magnetic field during the event decreased to 0-6% of its current strength, significantly weakening the planet's protection against cosmic radiation. Ultimately, as researchers noted, the ionized air practically "fried" the ozone layer and triggered a wave of climate change across the entire planet.
Scientists are concerned that today the North magnetic pole is also shifting, and the magnetic field is gradually weakening, which may indicate a repetition of past scenarios.
"Adam and Eve's Story" by Dr. Chan Thomas
This book sparked significant controversy due to its alleged catastrophic events and purported connection to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Published in 1965, the book presents unconventional theories about Earth's history and catastrophic shifts.
At the core of "Adam and Eve's Story" is the assumption that throughout Earth's history, it has periodically experienced cataclysms caused by rapid shifts in its crust. These events, according to the book, occur cyclically, leading to the destruction of advanced civilizations. Dr. Chan Thomas claims that Atlantis, a mythical civilization, was one of the victims of these cataclysms.
Rapid shifts within a day:
Dr. Chan Thomas asserts in his book that shifts in the Earth's crust occur quickly, within a day. According to his explanation, these swift events result in the complete destruction of civilizations and cause significant geological transformations. This rapid and catastrophic process may explain why it is nearly impossible today to find any remnants of advanced civilizations as they would have been completely destroyed.
Alleged CIA Connection:
Conspiracy theories associated with "Adam and Eve's Story" focus on the alleged connection between Dr. Chan Thomas and the CIA. The CIA did, in fact, classify the book and prevented its wider distribution. The book was declassified by the CIA only in 2013.
"Adam and Eve's Story" has faced substantial criticism from the scientific community. The theories presented in the book are considered highly speculative and lack substantial empirical evidence. Prominent scientists argue that the alleged catastrophic events and rapid shifts described by Dr. Chan Thomas are incompatible with modern understanding of geology and Earth's history.
