If it happened 780,000 years ago, how much can you really know?
But if two dumbasses like you and I are sitting around discussing it, they must have discussed this.
Earth's magnetic poles shift, also known as a geomagnetic reversal.
The north and south magnetic poles swap locations, effectively inverting the planet's magnetic field.
This process happens over a period of centuries, not millennia, not instantly.
While the magnetic field weakens during a reversal, it doesn't disappear completely.
There's no evidence that pole reversals cause massive earthquakes, rapid climate change, or species extinctions.
Okay, so it must be so slow that it's manageable.
Yeah, that's what you were worried about.
I watch too much YouTube.
But meanwhile, how do we know?
Because this hasn't happened in 780,000 years.
This is probably all theoretical as well.
And also, if I did think it was going to cause calamity, the last thing I'd do is tell the general public.
I'd be like, listen, we'll be fine.
