Recent research tries to explain why the magnetic north pole is going wild.

They say Earth's magnetic field is generated by the motion of liquid iron in its core, blah, blah, blah.

Unless you're a migratory bird, a sea turtle, or a geomagnetist, you probably pay a little attention to Earth's magnetic field.

And yet we know little details about these processes, blah, blah, blah.

The earliest positioning of the magnetic pole dates to 1831 by James Clark Ross.

This was followed by direct measurements of the North Magnetic Pole.

In recent decades, global models of magnetic field have used measurements made by a network of ground observatories.

records show, the magnetic North Pole has been moving from the Canadian Arctic to Siberia.

Initially, it was shifting at slow speeds of 1 to 15 kilometers per year, but it sped up to 50 to 60 kilometers per year from 1990 to 2005.

In 2017, it crossed the international date line.

Measurements from the past four years indicate a slowdown of about 35 kilometers per year, but these measurements are still higher than the recorded historic rates.

An imminent magnetic reversal.

Is Earth transitioning to a magnetic reversal?

Hard to say.

Well, the theory is this.

We don't know.

Magnetic reversal happens.

We are, according to the scientific records, overdue for a magnetic reversal.

So let's have some fun with it.
