In other news, the moon is getting farther away from the Earth, and the sun is expanding.

TL;DR it's no cause for concern for now. Core is changing speed and direction in cycles.

Causing magnetic pole reversal?

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not likely, considering the last few times it happened it didn't. This is the first time it's happened since the 1980s, not the first time it's happened.

[–] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 0 points 2 months ago

Oh, much faster than pole reversal.

Which is neither the first time but every 100'000 years or so. Or was it 300k?

I wonder what kinds of affects this do have?

It would find it bizar if there are no natural phenomena connected to it.

Everything happening in the universe is "natural phenomena." If we can't explain it, we don't have enough information.
