Scientists have found that the magnetic field near the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii has changed direction. It is now flipped in the opposite direction and is pointing in the wrong direction of the magnetic field on the rest of the planet.
This discovery first puzzled scientists, then geologists put forward a hypothesis about the causes of this strange phenomenon. According to them, the magma underlying the volcano's caldera contains a huge amount of iron and, in fact, this magma is a floating magnet, which influenced the polarity reversal of the magnetic field.
Scientists believe that 780,000 years ago, the Earth's magnetic field for inexplicable reasons changed and the South Pole became the North, it was then that the lava under the Hawaiian volcano froze, turning into a piece of iron surrounded by rocks, but the poles of this huge piece of iron retained the position they were before the change of magnetic poles all over the planet and now that magma has melted, this ancient true magnetic "compass" shows the poles where they were before the general reversal of the poles in antiquity.

We talked about this for a long time and a lot, of course, no one could name the date, and it’s not surprising. It is necessary to be a kind of prophet or at least a person not of this world. There are such people, but they sit quietly for themselves and do not buzz … Why?
Duc and not scary, as it were:

What will happen to the Earth if the poles are reversed?
The fact of the inevitable change of the Earth's magnetic poles was presented to many scientists as a given: Associate Professor of Climatology and the Meterological and Geographical Faculty of Moscow State University. Recent calculations indicate a shift of the pluses to the equator.
The latest calculations by scientists suggest that the magnetic poles are shifting towards the equator at high speed. The calculations of Russian scientists are confirmed by their American and European colleagues. The latest figures say that the magnetic North Pole has moved 200 km in 20 years and is now moving 5 times faster than a year ago. Gradually, but catastrophically According to some specialists in the study of the Earth's magnetic field, with the acceleration of the movement of the poles, it can simultaneously turn off over the entire territory of the planet, and then humanity will remain defenseless against cosmic threats. This is the opinion of the chief researcher of the Institute of Oceanologists of the Russian Academy of Sciences A. M. Gorodnitsky.
There is an ionosphere above the atmosphere, reminds Alexander Moiseevich. It is in it with this magnetic anomaly that giant ozone holes arise. And along with the solar wind, the hard gamma of cosmic radiation also reaches the surface of the Earth, causing catastrophic damage to it. However, another option is also possible. Recent studies by scientists have shown that if the rate of displacement of the magnetic poles remains the same, then the Earth's magnetic field will disappear gradually. In this case, humanity will face a long series of natural and man-made disasters.
Natural disasters will happen more and more, and disasters will happen more often. And in this case, the death of humanity will not come from the solar wind, but from the gradual radioactive contamination of the planet.
Live and work at night
But some researchers believe that humanity will be able to adapt to this. According to Doctor of Technical Sciences V. D. Dudyshev, it is possible that people will have to work at night and sleep during the day: during the daytime, radioactive radiation is harsher. Valery Dmitrievich does not exclude the emergence of underground cities on Earth in this connection, and people in the proposed circumstances will work in spacesuits. If this scenario comes true, then the Earth will become a dead planet flying in airless space (something like the plot of the movie "Letters of a Dead Man").
Pavel Toropov, Associate Professor of the Department of Climatology and Meteorology of the Faculty of Geography of Moscow State University, believes that the shift of magnetic belts is not the first time on Earth, this is not new. Another thing is that it is a novelty for human civilization to comprehend these processes. Deputy Director of the Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere and Radio Wave Propagation, Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Valery Petrov, in turn, wants to prove that the Earth's magnetic field is a constant for mankind that is completely controllable (albeit after a couple of thousand years): atmosphere, magnetic field, the solar wind, which are important now, on the "ideological scale" - are insignificant: Petrov believes that gravity is sufficient, even if the magnetic field cannot protect earthlings due to the loss of the atmosphere. Petrov claimsthat it will take millions of years to spend all the hydrogen from the Earth's atmosphere.

Well, yes, unless the hordes of birds will not know where to fly, where is the South … Well, the navigation systems of cetaceans will also fail. Also, representatives of the seas and oceans will have their landmark knocked down.
And so yes. Everything is fine, I took my smartphone out of my pocket and turned on Glonas or something else … You won't get lost..
Well, except that the hemispheres of our brain can throw out some kind of ferdebatsel.. (but not the fact that this will happen)
Humanity is such a "parasite" that it will adapt everywhere, no matter what conditions are created for it … would!
