#Earths magnetic field could flip within a human lifetime Imagine the world waking up one morning to discover that all compasses pointed south instead of north.
Earth's magnetic field has flipped--though not overnight--many times throughout the planet's history. Its dipole magnetic field like that of a bar magnet remains about the same intensity for thousands to millions of years but for incompletely known reasons it occasionally weakens
Sprain and Paul Renne director of the Berkeley Geochronology Center and a UC Berkeley professor-in-residence of earth and planetary science are coauthors of the study
Flip could affect electrical grid cancer ratesthe discovery comes as new evidence indicates that the intensity of Earth's magnetic field is decreasing 10 times faster than normal leading some geophysicists to predict a reversal within a few

And since Earth's magnetic field protects life from energetic particles from the sun and cosmic rays both
