Earth's magnetic field - good or bad? A sharp change in the Earth's magnetic field is a harbinger of global cataclysms What threatens the destruction of the earth's magnetic field

This article is not a revelation of various "masters" and "lords", and the information presented was not obtained through various intricate practices and communication with spirits.

This material is the thoughts of the author. It's just that at a certain moment a rather interesting logical chain of facts and events developed. I apologize in advance for any inaccuracies and possibly gross errors. I would be grateful for criticism, as well as possible additions. I would like to hear the opinion of people in the know.

I want to talk about the Earth's magnetic field. There is plenty of information about it and it all comes down to one thing - the Earth's magnetic field protects our planet from the harmful effects of solar and cosmic destructive energies delivered to us by the solar wind.

Destruction magnetic field threatens the death of all life on Earth, etc. etc. Neither more nor less, the death of everything, period.

Is it really? Let's try to figure it out. What is so fatal and destructive can be contained in the solar wind?

Let's not torture ourselves with searches and turn to Wikipedia:
Solar wind (eng. Solar wind) - a stream of ionized particles (mainly helium-hydrogen plasma) flowing from the solar corona at a speed of 300-1200 km / s into the surrounding space. It is one of the main components of the interplanetary medium.

Lots of natural phenomena associated with the solar wind, including space weather phenomena such as magnetic storms and auroras.

In relation to other stars, the term stellar wind is used, so that in relation to the solar wind one can say "stellar wind of the Sun."

The concepts of "solar wind" (a stream of ionized particles) and "sunlight" (a stream of photons) should not be confused. In particular, it is the effect of sunlight pressure (and not wind) that is used in the projects of the so-called solar sails.

Due to the high conductivity of the solar wind plasma, the magnetic field of the Sun is frozen into the outflowing wind currents and is observed in the interplanetary medium in the form of an interplanetary magnetic field.

The solar wind forms the boundary of the heliosphere, which prevents the penetration of interstellar gas into the solar system. The magnetic field of the solar wind significantly weakens the galactic cosmic rays coming from outside.

The solar wind generates on the planets solar system, with a magnetic field, such phenomena as the magnetosphere, aurora and radiation belts of planets.

And it is from this stream of ionized particles that the magnetic field saves us.

It is known about the magnetic field that it is not constant and its strength changes. It seems that even a cycle of its maximum and minimum strength of 4000 years has been established. You can also find information that the magnetic field is closely related to the Earth's ionosphere. It is also known that the magnetic and electromagnetic fields are close in nature.

This is where the doubts came in. Does the solar wind really bring deadly particles with it? Or maybe vice versa? Maybe the particles that the Sun shares with us are not at all destructive, and it is in them that the energy we need is contained. Is the earth's magnetic field artificial shield, created (or enhanced - more on that below) in order to block this energy.

Our ancestors called the sun Dazhdbog. Is it really only because the Sun gave them warmth and light that people worshiped and idolized him? Maybe the Sun gave something else? Maybe it was something that was the energy that was delivered to us by the solar wind?

Today there is a lot of talk about climate weapons. We are all well aware of the American HAARP installations installed in several places. Allegedly, with their help, through the impact on the Earth's ionosphere, the Americans manage to influence the weather.

The ionosphere is directly related to the Earth's magnetic field. I think talking about climate weapons is dust in the eyes. The real task of HAAPR installations is to increase the Earth's magnetic field!

For the same purpose, another monster was built - the hadron collider, which is essentially a giant electromagnet. The whole world is crammed with electrical appliances, surrounded by high-voltage wires and riddled with waves. different nature. What are the metros alone in the megacities of the whole planet - these are huge emitters electromagnetic waves. By the way, the announced unprecedented construction of the subway in Moscow may be connected precisely with this.

As we know, during the moments of the so-called magnetic storms, electronics fail, as well as weather-dependent people experience health problems. We are told that this is due to perturbations in the Sun. But is it? As you know, both the USSR and the USA investigated the energy of the solar wind by launching devices into space, and successfully investigated. These devices were sent directly into the flow of solar and wind and did not break anything, successfully completed the task and sent data to Earth. But the electromagnetic field, here I think physicists will agree with me, can easily disrupt the operation of electrical appliances.

Do not the comrades who control the world use the above amplifiers in order to solar energy at the right time to increase the protective force of the Earth's magnetic field?

It is quite possible that the disruption of satellites, the deterioration of health and the failure of transformers, computers and other devices is the result of these manipulations.
Perhaps these manipulators are able to control the magnetic field, but they do it only in “one direction” - in the direction of increasing its strength. It does not fit into one's head that, having the opportunity to reduce this field, they would not use it for the purpose of allowing "disastrous" solar energy to any of the "uncomfortable countries". This is what gives reason to believe that the energy coming from the solar wind is not destructive, but divine in nature, and its penetration to the Earth poses a direct threat to the world rulers and does not fit into their plans. For them, this is fraught not only with a loss of power, but with a loss of life, a complete exit of the situation from control.

In turn, I came across information about the change of poles and the possible disappearance of the Earth's magnetic field for several days. It was said that people could go crazy from it. It is quite possible that the energy of the sun will bring people the truth, which not everyone can perceive. Isn't this a deliberate stuffing, in order to declare anyone who receives a dose of this energy crazy and dangerous to society and subject to liquidation, not in vain in the USA coffins stocked up))))

Now the works of Nikola Tesla are very popular. Various coils, generators, transformers. Here I can be mistaken and once again I apologize. If electricity is capable of creating an electromagnetic field, then from electromagnetic field you can get electricity. Tesla found a way to draw energy from the Earth's magnetic field. This frightened the manipulators, they brainwashed him and Tesla destroyed his developments, because he was sure that if the Earth's magnetic field disappeared or weakened, it would lead to the death of all life on the planet. Then a psychiatric hospital, then we all know how it ended.

And humanity is becoming more and more dependent on electrical energy. Mobile communications, computers, televisions, microwaves and other items of our Everyday life. This makes a person a cell in a huge network for the production of electromagnetic fields aimed at maintaining a "protective shield".

There are suggestions that Pyramids of Egypt, as well as facilities in China, Bosnia and elsewhere, were a kind of power plant. Perhaps they fed on just the energy of the sun, the access of which to the Earth is blocked today. And they produced not electricity, but energy of a different kind?

One thing pleases, the magnetic field is decreasing, solar activity is growing, so everything goes on as usual. The shield will be broken! The sun will not leave his sons.

Thanks, good luck everyone!

    Good article! Good theory, I'll take it into account)

    “Mind manifests itself through Light. The Mind of your Sun holds your Solar System in its energy field. The events currently taking place are related to a source outside of your Sun. Your Sun's impact is not strong enough to break through the vibrational shield around your planet right now. Therefore, other Suns come to the aid of the Sun of the Earth. Your Sun shoots out prominences like tentacles that attract cosmic rays, trapping and integrating them into the solar system. These cosmic rays are solar prominences from the Central Sun, located far in the center of the galaxy. A whole company is organized against the Sun by a certain group of beings, not interested in the spiritual development of mankind, as if the creators of your world had flaws in their developments and made a mistake by placing the Sun in the center of your Solar System. A similar idea is imposed on people by both scientists and doctors. And you people - just to prove your stupidity and how controlled you are - believe everything you read. There is nothing terrible in the fact that the ozone layer around the Earth is disappearing. … Holes in the ozone layer allow energies of different quality and light spectrum to penetrate into the Earth's atmosphere. When a new energy absorption spectrum manifests itself on a massive scale, a chemical response occurs deep within the human body. Radiation of light energy changes the body at the subatomic level, contributing to your further spiritual development. In this way, humanity as a sentient species will become much stronger.” This is an excerpt from Barbara Marciniak's book Earth. Pleiadian Keys to the Living Library.

    I disagree with most of the author's positions. Magnetic fields play mainly a protective role, deflecting cosmic flows of charged particles and hard radiation. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't exist. Another thing is that we live in the Earth's magnetic field and are connected with it by our energy fields. The magnetic field affects many biological processes in nature and in living organisms.
    All changes in the Earth's magnetic field are reflections of changes in the electromagnetic and material components of the new outer space, which our solar system has recently entered, as well as changes in the solar radiation spectrum. And it's not even the ozone hole. The ozone layer, in general, plays a secondary role, you can live without it. The ozone hole or depletion of ozone in the atmosphere occurs under the influence of UV radiation. Longer wavelength UV rays create ozone, while shorter wavelengths destroy ozone. The concentration of ozone depends on the balance of these radiations. But new solar radiation affects our lives. This is a large set of high-frequency linear and torsion radiation. The most amazing thing is the appearance after the six thousandth absence of intelligent torsion energies — the creators of the World. Don't confuse them with GOD. Energies carry information, plans and orders. Today they determine many changes in nature, in man and in human society. Pay attention - some people begin to see clearly, to think about the meaning of life, the structure of the Cosmos, true history Russia. This group of people is gradually moving away from the material side of life. They are undergoing positive changes. There is another type of people who show aggressiveness, intolerance, lies, hypocrisy, and so on. This is a negative part of society. People are being sorted. The consequences are clear. Negativity comes with religions and many social, political, scientific and economic structures. Violent confrontations and wars arise. These are the signs of the so-called end times. There will be a finish soon.
    The distribution of intelligent energies goes through the system of channels of the Suns. The chain - the Central Sun of the World - the Central Sun of the Universe - the central Sun of the Galaxy - our Sun. There are no barriers to these energies, they pass through any obstacle. And everything is predetermined. The higher plane is unshakable.

    Great article, lots to think about.

    I am not a very scientist and not a physicist, but the question is, why don't astronauts die in a weakened magnetic field? And on the turnover they have the so-called super abilities? Why didn't the Americans die on the moon? Well, in the end, how did the poor rover fly to Mars and its electronics were not destroyed by the "HORRIBLE" and "DAMAGE" Solar radiation?

    Reply to Vitaly:
    Astronauts, firstly, fly in a weak magnetic field, secondly, the special metal lining of the ship protects the astronauts from solar radiation, and thirdly, healthy astronauts lose their health during the flight and after returning from space they need a long rehabilitation period. Their blood composition changes, adverse changes occur in the joints and bone tissues etc. Some astronauts become disabled. They do not have any supernatural abilities in flight. There are elements of mental disorders and hallucinations.
    The worst thing about astronautics is one fact. Americans have never been to the moon. Even today, such a flight with a landing on the moon is an extremely difficult task. And then this task was absolutely impossible. It was possible to land astronauts, but it was impossible to take them back. I'm afraid the same story with the rover. Already very "Martian" surface resembles the Rocky Mountains in Nevada. In addition, many vehicles launched into deep space disappeared, or went off course, or functioned in a limited way. This is the influence of solar radiation, especially during the period of solar activity.
    And my addition to Irina. Her layout by Barbara Marciniak is very revealing and interesting. This woman actually receives mental information from one highly developed human consciousness from outer space in order to warn earthly humanity about the upcoming changes. She catches this information superbly. I should envy her. But her low educational level does not allow her to qualitatively analyze the information and process it into a simple verbal form. But still, her writings are very useful and informative.

    I am very glad, Albert, that you spoke so well about what Marciniac is taking. The information in her books helps to change consciousness and break stereotypes so much that sometimes brains start to sparkle, burning thought patterns.
    And further. It's great that you confirmed the information that there were no astronauts on the Moon. If I'm not mistaken, it seems that Drunvalo Melchizedek in his book " ancient secret flower of life" says that a person in a physical body cannot overcome long distances in space due to the rigid binding of our consciousness to the Earth and with the current way of perceiving time and space. If he decides to do this, then having flown away from the Earth at a certain distance, the person will simply go crazy.

    • In a good hour, said and heard! In a good hour! I really hope so and believe!

  • I support the position of the author completely. There is only one conclusion - to demagnetize all these artificial magnets, to destroy their technogenicity - the fiend of hell. A simple logical analysis of the successive actions of the financial authorities. structures on Earth, gives grounds to believe that they constantly maintain magnetization, and one might even say, even enhance it, thereby destroying biosystems, including humans. The sun is always depicted as the basis of the life force of the Earth and nature, and also as the heart (engine) of man. Only it can give us strength and reason. Therefore, forces alien to our Universe, having closed us from our source of strength, deprived us of will and reason, pumped the space with false information about the so-called science and art, about their science and their anti-art, harmful to earthlings. We are in this special prison, degrading every year. But last years, with the advent of a new era, they are very afraid of the sun breaking through this magnetic cake and bringing a photon cloud of light to earthlings, awakening all our sleeping possibilities, which will make us completely invincible, and they will evaporate from space, even their black glasses will not help them.

    The Sun has a definition - it shone more, a lamp,
    it is not mentioned about him - a star in the book of Genesis 1: 1-31.
    If you think about it, then the regulation of the lamp is possible,
    halo fields protecting against increased activity Earth and other planets. And in general, so that and no matter how
    revolved around the Sun, the geocentric worldview is the main thing, since the Earth with the Solar
    system are the center of all cosmic
    space. You are smart for asking such questions.
    and still want to figure it out.

This article is not a revelation of various "masters" and "lords", and the information presented was not obtained through various intricate practices and communication with spirits.

This material is the thoughts of the author. It's just that at a certain moment a rather interesting logical chain of facts and events developed.

A team of European researchers compared the current state of the Earth's magnetic field with its turbulent geological past and found that the current signs of a magnetic field disturbance are unlike those that preceded previous pole shifts.

The current situation resembles the events of 49,000 years and 46,000 years ago - when there was some significant weakening in the strength of the magnetic field, but without a sharp shift in the poles. However, scientists still have many questions about what will happen next with the magnetic field.

The magnetic field inherently provides comfortable conditions for life on our planet. It protects the Earth from cosmic radiation and solar storms. In other words, if we did not have a magnetic field, the Earth would probably look like a red wasteland, and life would hardly have evolved so much on our planet.

Moreover, this shielding effect deflects the charged particles of the solar wind and prevents the occurrence of failures on orbiting satellites important for GPS navigation, communications, and meteorology.

Current magnetic north and magnetic south are close to geographic poles. Since direct observations began in the 19th century, scientists have noticed that the strength of the field has been weakening by about 5 percent every 100 years for at least the last two millennia.

Of particular interest is the "South Atlantic Anomaly" - an inexplicably weak part of the field where charged particles are strongly deflected and can cause serious damage to satellites.

The team decided to study several different periods of the magnetic field. Although the current anomaly in the South Atlantic is strange, the magnetic field of 49,000 and 46,000 years was similar without any extreme events. In all cases, the field after the anomalies was stabilized by strong poles over several thousand years.

So, it is unlikely that we will see a polar reversal. "The overall conclusion is consistent with other recent studies that show that the current decline in field strength is not caused by its accelerated displacement," says Mound. "The field strength fluctuates quite a lot over time, and there is nothing unusual about the ratio of current strength or rate of change."

Phil Livermore, a geophysicist at the University of Leeds, is a bit optimistic. He points out that there is no new evidence that the current weakening will stop, especially since we still do not know what causes it.

While the history of the magnetic field provides a useful insight into how it works and behaves, none of this research actually helps us predict the future. They only point to a large number of options.

Should we be worried? Kurgan doesn't think, "The rate of change is slow enough for us to soften the blows." But he cautions that we don't know enough about exactly what those impacts will be.

The situation in the South Atlantic Anomaly forces scientists to rethink the situation and the ongoing processes.

The earth is surrounded by a magnetic field. This is what makes compasses point north, and protects our atmosphere from constant bombardment from space by charged particles such as protons.

At a certain frequency, the magnetic field flips. North points south and vice versa. And when the poles are reversed, the magnetic field also tends to become very weak. Scientists are monitoring this dangerous weakening of the Earth's magnetic field.


Without a magnetic field, our atmosphere would be slowly destroyed by harmful radiation, and life would almost certainly cease to exist as we know it today.

It may seem to you that the magnetic field is something permanent, an integral part of life on Earth, and to some extent you will be right. But the Earth's magnetic field is currently changing.

What is currently driving geophysicists to action is the realization that the strength of the Earth's magnetic field has been declining over the past 160 years at an alarming rate. This collapse is centered in a vast expanse of the southern hemisphere, stretching from Zimbabwe to Chile, at what is known as the South Atlantic Anomaly. The strength of the magnetic field has weakened so much that there is a danger to satellites flying above this area - the field no longer protects them from radiation, which interferes with the operation of satellite electronics.

And the field continues to weaken even more, potentially foreshadowing more dramatic events, including a global reversal of the magnetic poles. Such a significant change will affect our navigation systems as well as power transmission. The spectacle of the Northern Lights can be observed on different latitudes. And because even more radiation will reach the Earth's surface at very low field strengths during the global roll, it could also lead to more cancers. We still do not fully understand the severity of these effects, which enhances the relevance of our study. We are now turning to some perhaps unexpected data sources, including 700 years of African archaeological records, to understand them.

Magnetic field in motion


Sampling at Limpopo Valley Sites Reveals First Ancient Geomagnetic History South Africa between 1000 and 1600 A.D. What we have found shows that in the past, around 1300 AD, the magnetic field in this area was shrinking as fast as it is today. Then the intensity increased, albeit at a much slower pace.

The appearance of two intervals of rapid field decay - one 700 years ago and up to the present day - suggests a return phenomenon. Is it possible that the reverse movement pattern currently observed within South Africa is happening regularly and has happened before, which is not in our records? If so, why shouldn't it happen again in this place?

The traditional idea of ​​the pole shift


The traditional idea of ​​inversions is that they can start anywhere in the nucleus. Our conceptual model suggests that there may be special places at the core-mantle boundary that facilitate rolls. We don't yet know for sure whether the current field weakening will last for the next few thousand years, or just continue for the next two centuries.


But the evidence provided by the ancestors of modern South Africans will no doubt help us further develop our proposed mechanism for a pole reversal.

If everything is correct and proceeds as we believe, then the pole reversals may come from "out of Africa".

IN last days A lot of news about the Earth's magnetic field has appeared on scientific information sites. For example, the news that Lately it changes significantly, or that the magnetic field contributes to the leakage of oxygen from the earth's atmosphere, and even about the fact that cows orient themselves along the lines of the magnetic field in pastures. What is the magnetic field and how important is all of the above news?

The Earth's magnetic field is the area around our planet where magnetic forces. The question of the origin of the magnetic field has not yet been finally resolved. However, most researchers agree that the presence of the Earth's magnetic field is at least partly due to its core. The Earth's core consists of a solid inner and liquid outer parts. The rotation of the Earth creates constant currents in the liquid core. As the reader may remember from physics lessons, motion electric charges creates a magnetic field around them.

One of the most common theories explaining the nature of the field, the theory of the dynamo effect, assumes that convective or turbulent movements of a conducting fluid in the core contribute to self-excitation and maintaining the field in a stationary state.

The earth can be considered as a magnetic dipole. His South Pole is located at the geographic North Pole, and the north, respectively, at the South. In fact, the geographical and magnetic poles of the Earth do not coincide not only in "direction". The axis of the magnetic field is tilted with respect to the axis of rotation of the Earth by 11.6 degrees. Due to the fact that the difference is not very significant, we can use a compass. Its arrow points exactly to the south magnetic pole of the Earth and almost exactly to the geographic north. If the compass had been invented 720,000 years ago, it would have indicated both geographic and magnetic North Pole. But more on that below.

The magnetic field protects the inhabitants of the Earth and artificial satellites from the harmful effects of cosmic particles. Such particles include, for example, ionized (charged) particles of the solar wind. The magnetic field changes the trajectory of their movement, directing the particles along the field lines. The need for a magnetic field for the existence of life narrows the circle of potentially habitable planets (if we proceed from the assumption that hypothetically possible forms life is similar to the inhabitants of the earth).

Scientists do not exclude that some of the terrestrial planets do not have a metallic core and, accordingly, are devoid of a magnetic field. Until now, it was believed that the planets, consisting of solid rocks, like the Earth, contain three main layers: a solid crust, a viscous mantle, and a solid or molten iron core. In recent work, MIT scientists have proposed the formation of "rocky" planets without a core. If the theoretical calculations of researchers are confirmed by observations, then in order to calculate the probability of meeting humanoids in the Universe, or at least something resembling illustrations from a biology textbook, they will have to be rewritten.

Earthlings can also lose their magnetic protection. True, geophysicists cannot yet say exactly when this will happen. The fact is that magnetic poles Lands are unstable. Periodically they change places. Not so long ago, researchers found that the Earth "remembers" the change of poles. An analysis of such "memories" showed that over the past 160 million years, magnetic north and south have changed places about 100 times. Last time this event happened about 720 thousand years ago.

The change of poles is accompanied by a change in the configuration of the magnetic field. In time " transition period"Significantly more cosmic particles that are dangerous to living organisms penetrate the Earth. One of the hypotheses explaining the disappearance of dinosaurs claims that the giant reptiles died out precisely during the next change of poles.

In addition to the "traces" of planned activities to change the poles, the researchers noticed dangerous shifts in the Earth's magnetic field. An analysis of the data on his condition over several years showed that in recent months they began to occur in him. Scientists have not recorded such sharp "movements" of the field for a very long time. The area of ​​concern to researchers is located in the South Atlantic Ocean. The "thickness" of the magnetic field in this region does not exceed a third of the "normal" one. Researchers have long paid attention to this "hole" in the Earth's magnetic field. The data collected over 150 years show that the field here has weakened by ten percent over this period.

At the moment it is difficult to say how this threatens humanity. One of the consequences of the weakening of the field strength may be an increase (albeit insignificant) in the oxygen content in the Earth's atmosphere. The connection between the Earth's magnetic field and this gas was established using the Cluster satellite system, a project of the European Space Agency. Scientists have found that the magnetic field accelerates oxygen ions and "throws" them into outer space.

Despite the fact that the magnetic field cannot be seen, the inhabitants of the Earth feel it well. Migratory birds, for example, find their way, focusing on it. There are several hypotheses that explain exactly how they feel the field. One of the latter suggests that birds perceive a magnetic field. Special proteins - cryptochromes - in the eyes of migratory birds are able to change their position under the influence of a magnetic field. The authors of the theory believe that cryptochromes can act as a compass.

In addition to birds, sea turtles use the Earth's magnetic field instead of GPS. And, as shown by the analysis of satellite photographs presented as part of the Google Earth project, cows. After studying photographs of 8510 cows in 308 regions of the world, scientists concluded that these animals are preferred (or from south to north). Moreover, the “reference points” for cows are not geographic, but precisely the magnetic poles of the Earth. The mechanism of the cows' perception of the magnetic field and the reasons for such a reaction to it remain unclear.

In addition to the listed remarkable properties, the magnetic field contributes. They arise as a result drastic changes fields originating in remote regions of the field.

The magnetic field has not been ignored by supporters of one of the "conspiracy theories" - the theory of lunar hoax. As mentioned above, the magnetic field protects us from cosmic particles. The "collected" particles accumulate in certain parts of the field - the so-called Van Alen radiation belts. Skeptics who do not believe in the reality of landings on the moon believe that during the flight through the radiation belts, the astronauts would receive a lethal dose of radiation.

The Earth's magnetic field is an amazing consequence of the laws of physics, a protective shield, landmark and creator of the auroras. Without it, life on Earth might look very different. In general, if there were no magnetic field, it would have to be invented.
