The earth's magnetic field impacts climate: Danish studycopenhagen (AFP)--The earth's climate has been affected significantly by the planet's magnetic field according to a Danish study published Monday that could challenge the notion that human emissions are responsible for global warming.

Our results show a strong correlation between the strength of the earth's magnetic field and the amount of precipitation in the tropics one of the two Danish geophysicists behind the study Mads Faurschou Knudsen of the geology department at Aarhus University in western Denmark told the Videnskab journal.

He and his colleague Peter Riisager of the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) compared a reconstruction of the prehistoric magnetic field 5000 years ago based on data drawn from stalagmites

and stalactites found in China and Oman The results of the study which has also been published in US scientific journal Geology lend support to a controversial theory published a decade ago by Danish astrophysicist Henrik Svensmark who claimed the climate was influenced highly by galactic cosmic ray (GCR

Svensmark's theory which pitted him against today's mainstream theorists who claim carbon dioxide (CO2) is responsible for global warming involved a link between the earth's magnetic field

If changes in the magnetic field which occur independently of the earth's climate can be linked to changes in precipitation then it can only be explained through the magnetic field's blocking of the cosmetic rays he said.

When the reversed patches grow to the point that they dominate the rest of the core Earth's overall magnetic field flips.

when the poles reverse is a very large decrease of the total field intensity said Jean-Pierre Valet who conducts research on geomagnetic reversals at the Institute of Earth Physics of Paris. 5 Ways the World Will Change Dramatically this Century Earth

's magnetic field takes between 1000 and 10000 years to reverse and in the process it greatly diminishes before it realigns.

which the field strength becomes weak very probably the field becomes more complex and might show more than two poles for a while

According to John Tarduno professor of geophysics at the University of Rochester a strong magnetic field helps protect Earth from blasts of radiation from the sun. Coronal mass ejections (CMES) occasionally occur on the Sun

Some of the particles associated with CMES can be blocked by Earth's magnetic field. With a weak field this shielding is less efficient.

Valet agrees that a weak magnetic field could lead to the formation of ozone holes. He wrote a paper last year proposing a direct link between the demise of Neanderthals our evolutionary cousins

and a significant decrease of the geomagnetic field intensity that occurred exactly at the same period.

if the magnetic field and thus its shielding function became significantly weaker e g. during a reversal

According to Tarduno the strength of Earth's magnetic field has been decreasing for at least 160 years at an alarming rate leading some to speculate that we are heading toward a reversal.

The planet's magnetic field is showing signs of wanting to make a gigantic somersault so that magnetic north heads towards Antarctica

About every half a million years or so the Earth's magnetic field flips upside down. The story begins in 1600

The magnetic poles are where all the lines of force of Earth's magnetic field are drawn together. It does not coincide with the geographic poles the axis on

Also a bar magnet quickly loses its power yet the Earth's magnetic field has been around for billions of years

This is why Einstein remarked that the origin of the Earth's magnetic field was one of the greatest mysteries of physics.

As this subterranean ocean of liquid metal slowly whirls around it behaves like a dynamo generating electrical currents and magnetic fields.

and so the magnetic field at the surface of the Earth fluctuates. We know the magnetic polarity goes topsy-turvy from rocks on the bed of the Atlantic ocean.

Each time the magnetic field heads for a reversal it grows weaker over several thousand years until it almost disappears.

Magnetism trapped in ancient pottery shows that over the past 4000 years the magnetic field has weakened by more than 50%.

Another warning sign of an imminent flip has come recently from satellite measurements of the Earth's magnetic field.

In the largest patch beneath the southern tip of Africa the magnetic field is pointing towards the centre of the Earth instead of outwards.

or up/down axis. The Earth's magnetic field also stretches several hundred miles into space

or bursts of evolution during previous magnetic field flips they found nothing. Living organisms seem to have survived intact.

According to the Danish physicist Henrik Svensmark (Danish National Space center) the variation of Earth's temperature is caused (in brief by the intensity of the solar wind.

Coincidently the reduction in the Earth s magnetic field has been observed scientifically happening for the past 300 years.

but the fact remains for the past 300 years Earth s magnetic field solar shield has been reducing.

If a Earth polar shift were to occur during that time period we may actual have a time period of little to no magnetic field and at times multiple north and south poles all over the Earth.

The only thing stopping Earth having a lifeless environment like Mars is the magnetic field that shields us from deadly solar radiation

Scientists say earth's magnetic field is weakening and could all but disappear in as little as 500 years as a precursor to flipping upside down.

It has happened before-the geological record suggests the magnetic field has reversed every 250000 years meaning that with the last event 800000 years ago another would seem to be overdue.

In the past 150 years the strength of the magnetic field has lessened by 10 percent which could indicate a reversal is on the cards.

The loss of the magnetic field on Mars billions of years ago put paid to life on the planet

popsci_2013 01299.txt

you are actually answering slightly different questions one from a Newtonian perspective the other from a General relativity perspective.

In general relativity on the other hand gravity propagates at the speed of light; that is the motion of a massive object creates a distortion in the curvature of spacetime that moves outward at light speed.

but remember that general relativity is conceptually very different from newtonian gravity so a direct comparison is not so simple.

Strictly speaking gravity is not a force in general relativity and a description in terms of speed and direction can be tricky.

In that case one finds that the force in GR is not quite central it does not point directly towards the source of the gravitational field

and general relativity very nearly reproduces the newtonian result. In the case of a disappearing sun (whatever that even really means;

it's hard to discuss physics problems when the heart of the question involves a word as grotesquely metaphysical and unclear as'poof

but during that 8 minutes it would be orbiting as normal in that it wouldn't'lag'behind the sun.*Another way of looking at your discrepancy is to remind you all that relativity does away with an ABSOLUTE frame of reference.

Sorry your understanding of orbital mechanics is flawed fundamentally. As DCRANNE correctly mentioned Earth would neither be accelerated nor de-accelerated (who or

and was defined by Newton). Only it would fly now in a straight line. The same goes for all satellites.

and speed (aka angular momentum) in relation to the only center of gravity the still have -which is earth. So all lower earth orbits would basically be undisturbed completely.

Oh yes and gravity*does*work at the speed of light you might check wikipedia on'gravity waves'.'Sorry JRHELGESON the only thing that was correct in your post was-most probably-your name.

Get back to physics 101: -Of course according to science the sun would never just disappear into nothing so his disappearing act would violate most conservation laws

and belongs to the realm of fantasy instead of science. So stating that all his gravitatory âÂ#Âoefieldã¢Â# would disappear instantly

1-The most accepted theory of gravity is Einsteinã¢Â#Â#s General relativity. It says that gravity moves at the speed of light

No tsunamis at all. lol at the understanding of physics soem people have...dissappearing sun is not impossible-imagine some unknown dimensional rift

Classical mechanics assumes physical interactions propagate at infinite speed. In general relativity which supersedes classic mechanics gravity travels in waves at the speed of light.

The speed of gravity has actually been measured experimentally not with pinpoint accuracy but within the ballpark of the speed of light.

and teach classical mechanics because it is a good approximation of how objects with low mass and speed behave

and very few high school students have the math skills to tackle relativity. However relativity is far a more accurate model of how objects in our universe behave.

The article is about the heat from the sun hypothetically disappearing. The last paragraph about the mass of the sun being affected is really the cause of all the confusion.

This and all the other argumentation about Newton and Einstein completely misses the point because the real and only issue is FOOD

and light from the sun in near-instantaneous fashion it's not hard to visualize something highly improbable yet entirely consistent with the laws of physics.
