The Reversing Magnetic Field of Planet Earth

This animation produced by Swiss scientists about the Reversing Magnetic Field of Planet Earth is one of the 16 selected animations for SC11 Scientific Visualization Showcase.

The magnetic field generated in the fluid metallic core of planet Earth is shown. Numerical simulations of the dynamo mechanism, such as this one, exhibit polarity reversals, whereby the north pole moves by 180 degrees; this mimics the behaviour documented many times within the geological record. Our simulation solves the equations of momentum transfer, heat transfer and electrodynamics in an electrically conducting and rapidly-rotating fluid at each point in time. High temperatures in the central part of the core drive thermal convection. The total simulation is equivalent to approximately 40,000 years on Earth. Our movie shows the magnetic field lines that enter and exit the core. High magnetic field strength is shown by red and yellow colours, and lower strengths by blue. On each field line we place a small compass needle with red and white ends, which orient itself in the direction of the field.

This World Is An Illusion

...Earth’s background base frequency, or “heartbeat” (called the Schumann Resonance, or SR) is rising dramatically. Though it varies among geographical regions, for decades the overall measurement was 7.8 Hz (cycles per second). This was once thought to be a constant. Global military communications developed on this frequency.

Recent reports set the rate at over 11 cycles per second – and climbing.

The rate is about 12 cycles per second at present. It stops at 13 cycles.

When the Earth stops and its rotation and resonance frequency reach 13 cycles per second, we will be at what is called a “zero point” magnetic field.

“Zero Point” (or the Shift of the Ages) has been predicted by ancient peoples for thousands of years. There have been many shifts including the one that always occurs every 13,000 years at each half of the 26,000 year “Procession of the Equinox”. “Zero Point” (or a flip of the magnetic poles) will probably happen within the next few years.

Time will appear to speed up as we approach “Zero Point”. A 24-hour day will seem to be about 16 hours or less.

It is said that after “Zero Point”, the Sun will rise in the west and set in the east (approximately). Past occurrences of this change have been recorded and found in ancient records. The Earth will be stopped. In 2 or 3 days, it will start turning again, but in the opposite direction. This will produce a reversal in the magnetic fields around the Earth and so forth...
