Question:
i doubt it kinda but any scientist out there know?
There are many signs that polar shifting is FACT. One test you can do at home!
get a compass and have a look.. have you ever wondered why there is magnetic north and true north? and why they are different? its because the magnetic poles are different to true north and the magnetic north changes several degrees every couple of 1000 years..
in ancient lava flows we can also see ions have been attracted to different directions where north once was.. aka polar shifting does and always has existed.. even the sun shifts poles every 10 years like clockwork..
there are many theories as to what will happen when it does shift (we are due to have it shift soon)
some theories suggest this is what caused the dinosours to die
it all comes down to how fast the poles shift.. if they shift slowly then we are in trouble.. if its quick then we should be ok
if its slow we open ourselves up to dangerous gamma rays from the sun infact we would pretty much fry..
Some Scientists believe we should see “Northern Lights” all around the planet and it appears to coinside with ice ages..
As for 2012 the date.. The mayan calendar has circled several times ALREADY the conspiracy theorists are cashing in on something many of them dont understand.. dont believe the hype
